Do you ever feel like podcasting is more draining than it should be?

In this episode, I talk about something that doesn’t get talked about enough in the podcasting world… mindset. You’ll hear why your mindset matters just as much as your mic, and what to do when you start second-guessing everything or obsessing over download numbers. I’ll share practical tools to shift your energy, stop overanalysing your stats, and reconnect with why you started your podcast in the first place.

You’ll get simple ideas to help you stay consistent even when motivation dips. From mini mindset resets to creating a pre-recording ritual, this episode is here to help you enjoy your podcast again and feel proud of what you’re creating.

If your podcast has started feeling heavy, this one’s for you. Let’s bring back the spark.

Which mindset tip are you going to try first: hiding your stats, printing your favourite reviews or breathing before you record? Send me a message over on Instagram @podcast.support.services, I’d genuinely love to hear what resonated.

Tired of pouring energy into social media and getting nothing in return? What if your podcast content could bring in leads for months without you lifting a finger?

In this episode, I’m chatting with Anita Dykstra about how podcasters can use Pinterest to grow their audience and bring in more leads, without the constant pressure of daily posting. Anita breaks down exactly how Pinterest works for podcasters, what kind of pins to create, and how you can turn each podcast episode into multiple pieces of Pinterest content. We also talk about realistic timelines for results, the tools that make it easier, and a few mistakes to avoid.

I share how I’m using Anita’s system myself and the small changes I’m making to get more traction with my podcast content. If you want long-term visibility that doesn’t rely on algorithms or always being online, this one’s for you.

Are you using Pinterest yet? Come and tell me over on Instagram @podcast.support.services. I’d love to hear how you’re planning to try this!

Are you sick of being told to be everywhere online all the time? What if your podcast could quietly bring in leads without constant content creation?

In this episode, I'm joined by SEO and evergreen blog strategist Anita Dykstra. We chat about how to turn your podcast episodes into blog posts that get seen, shared and bring people to your website.

Anita shares why blogging is still one of the most powerful visibility tools, even with all the new AI platforms around. She gives loads of tips on how to repurpose your transcripts properly (it's not just copying and pasting into ChatGPT).

We also talk about how optimised blog content helps you get found beyond social media, so you’re not relying on the algorithm to grow your audience. If you’ve ever felt drained by content creation or second-guessed your show notes strategy, this is for you.

Do you blog from your podcast? Or is this the nudge you needed? Send me a DM on Instagram @podcast.support.services and let’s chat!

Are you really getting all the data you could from Apple and Spotify?

Many podcasters don’t realise that just because your show is on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, doesn’t mean you’ve claimed it. In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really means to claim your podcast on both platforms, and why it matters for growth, engagement, and making smarter content decisions.

I walk you through the steps to claim your podcast, what data you get once you do, and how to use it to improve your episodes, increase engagement, and build credibility when pitching guests or brand partnerships.

If you’re not already seeing your episode retention, listener demographics, or consumption rates, this episode is your checklist. It only takes 10 minutes, but it changes everything.

Have you claimed your podcast on Apple and Spotify yet? Come let me know on Instagram @podcast.support.services, I’d love to hear how it’s helped your show!

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
