    Stacey Simms on lessons learned from 10 years of podcasting

    When Stacey Simms’ son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes she turned to podcasts to learn more. But when she couldn’t find what she was looking for her husband suggested she create her own show.  Nine years on and Diabetes Connections has more than 600 episodes. Stacey is also the host of Diabetes Connections Type 2, as well as the author of The World’s Worst Diabetes Mom and its sequel Still The World’s Worst Diabetes Mom. I connected with Stacey over on Threads and in this conversation you’re going to hear what she would do differently if she were launching a podcast today, how she has successfully monetised her show and how she has connected with her listeners off air.  I’m Alison Fraser, host of Women Who Podcast, the show for side-hustling women who are ambitious but time-limited.

    Overcome your fears and start that podcast, with Becca Ingersoll

    What if no one listens. What if my friends turn against me? What if, what if, what if.  As a podcaster I’ve had these thoughts, and I’d bet that you have probably had something similar. My guest today is Becca Ingersoll, she is the host of Finding Joy Through Life’s Trials, a podcast which she describes as a safe place for us to share our stories. She had those what if thoughts too, but you’re going to hear what Becca did to push past these and to get her podcast off paper and into our ears. We’re going to talk about being brave and sharing scary parts of life, about taking the leap when your head is full of what ifs and about Becca’s reading retreat. Becca is a former high school English teacher, a stay-at-home mum to twins who were born prematurely, one of whom then underwent treatment for leukaemia, and she’s also a keen crafter and reader. I’m Alison Fraser, host of Women Who Podcast, the show for side-hustling women who are ambitious but time-limited.

    What I would do if I were starting all over again

    Hey podcasters, what would you do differently if you were starting all over again? This is the topic of this week’s show. I’m going to go through what I would do differently, what I would keep the same and share what other podcasters would do. I asked in my free facebook group what other podcasters would have done differently. Thanks to Penny Fitzgerald from Penny For Your Shots and Mare, co-host of Connection Project 360, for contributing. So dear listener, if you already have a podcast, what would you do differently? You can join the conversation in my free facebook group, Women Who Podcast or you can email me at alison@alisonfraser.co. Thanks for listening to this episode, this was written and produced by me, Alison Fraser.
