Episode 220: BONUS Part 3 — From Private Practice to Professional Podcasting

If you have been thinking about launching a podcast, it's normal to feel stuck on the details (like finding that “perfect” name). In this episode, I share my honest journey from private practice owner to podcast host—complete with all the overthinking, imperfect starts, and hard-won lessons along the way.

Here are 3 key takeaways:

1. Progress Over Perfection: Don’t let analysis paralysis (like obsessing over the “perfect” name) hold you back. Get clarity on your target audience and focus on taking imperfect action.
2. Plan for Consistency: Create a master Google Doc of at least 20 episode ideas to avoid getting stuck. Consistency—in planning and publishing—trains your audience to show up for you.
3. Batch Your Efforts and Work With Your Energy: Batch record episodes to match your energy levels, rather than pushing through every day. Find systems and support (like affordable editors or helpful tools) that make the process sustainable.
