222: Your Podcast Is a Living System—Let It Breathe
We’ve been told that consistency is everything. That success equals output. That if you step back, you’ll lose momentum.
But your podcast isn’t a machine. It’s a living system—and that means it’s allowed to change.
In this deeply personal episode, I’m inviting you to take a breath and reframe the way you think about your podcast. From seasonality to shifts in message, format, and frequency—this episode is your permission to honor the rhythm of your creative work and stop grinding through content that no longer fits.
And stay tuned until the end—there’s a big announcement about the future of the podcast. (Spoiler: it’s not ending—it’s expanding.)
→ Explore the Podcast Strategy Shop for templates and planning tools that support your evolution, not box you in.
