Is it ever okay to swear on your podcast?

Have you ever hit publish and then wondered if that cheeky F-bomb was a bit much? In this episode, I answer the question of whether swearing has a place in your podcast and what it means for your brand. It’s not a black-and-white answer, but I’m giving you a clear way to figure out what works for your show.

I talk through how swearing can affect your tone, audience expectations, discoverability, and sponsorship potential. You’ll walk away knowing how to make a call that feels aligned with your business goals, without second-guessing yourself every time a swear word slips out.

Plus, I share how you can still sound like you while making thoughtful decisions about language. This one’s for anyone who’s ever paused mid-sentence wondering if they should clean it up or let it roll.

What’s your take, do you swear on your podcast or keep it clean? DM me on Instagram and let’s chat about it @podcast.support.services

Have you ever felt like your podcast isn’t reflecting where your business is heading?

I’m back! After an unexpected break from the podcast, I’m sharing what really happened, why I stepped away, and how I’ve re-aligned my show with where my business is now.

This episode is a raw and honest look at how important it is for your podcast to feel good to YOU, not just tick the boxes for consistency. I also share what I’ve been learning during the break (podcast SEO and storytelling!) and how I’m bringing more strategy into everything I create.

If you’ve ever felt a bit off with your content or like you’re just going through the motions, this one will help you reflect, reset, and feel excited about your podcast again.

Let’s talk about getting back into alignment, letting go of what’s no longer working, and the simple changes I’ve made to make podcasting work better for me, and for my business.

Have you ever felt like your podcast no longer fits the business you’ve built?

In this episode, I’m opening up about something that’s been on my mind for a while… I’m hitting pause on the podcast. Not forever, but for now. I’ve realised I need time to reflect, recharge and rethink how this podcast can truly support you, because lately, it hasn’t felt aligned with where my business is heading.

You’ll hear what led to this decision, why I believe taking a break can be the best move, and how I'm helping clients go through the exact same thing: pivoting their podcast when their business evolves. If your podcast is starting to feel like a chore, this one’s for you.

This episode is a reminder that rest is part of the process, and it's okay to pause in order to come back stronger. I’ll share where you can stay in touch while the podcast is on hold and what’s next for me behind the scenes.

Have you ever felt like your podcast isn’t aligned anymore? Come share your thoughts with me on Instagram @podcast.support.services, I’d love to hear from you.

Have you ever felt guilty about taking a break from your podcast?

Taking a break doesn’t mean you’ve failed. In this episode, I’m talking about how to return to your podcast after a break, whether it’s been two weeks or two years. I share some real stories from podcasters who’ve hit pause and come back on their own terms, plus the mindset shifts and practical tweaks that make it easier to stay consistent.

You’ll hear why the break itself isn’t the problem, it’s the pressure we pile on afterwards that can make restarting feel hard. I run through some simple steps that can help you relaunch without overthinking it, and without trying to do it all.

If you’ve been stuck in the guilt loop or just want to make podcasting feel lighter, this one’s for you.

Do you really know what your podcast stats mean, or are they just numbers on a screen?

If you’ve ever felt confused looking at your podcast analytics, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down which stats actually matter and how to use them to make smarter decisions for your show. From why downloads don’t give the full picture, to understanding the goldmine that is your consumption rate, this episode helps you read your numbers with confidence.

You’ll learn the difference between listeners, plays, downloads, and followers, and why Apple and Spotify often show completely different numbers. I also share how to avoid losing your stats if you ever switch hosting platforms and give practical tips on how to spot patterns that help your podcast grow.
