AI is changing the podcasting world fast, and in this episode I’m sharing my honest thoughts on how I’m using AI podcasting tools while still trying to stay authentic, thoughtful, and ethical as a creator.

I talk about how I’m using ChatGPT for brainstorming and outlines, Claude for fleshing out content and scripts, and NotebookLM for deeper research using my own source material and past content.

We’re also getting into:

• using AI without losing your voice
• why human oversight still matters
• balancing productivity with authenticity
• and my thoughts on ethics, accountability, and the future of AI in creative work

If you’ve been curious, overwhelmed, excited, or even skeptical about AI, this conversation is for you.

What if your podcast isn’t the problem… your strategy is?

In this episode, I sit down with podcast growth and monetization strategist Natalie Dormer to unpack the real reason so many podcasts aren’t generating leads or income—and what to do instead. We talk about the difference between creating content and creating intentional asset episodes that actually move listeners toward working with you.

If you’ve been showing up consistently but not seeing real business results, this conversation will help you rethink your approach and start using your podcast as a true growth tool.

Not everyone should start a podcast in 2026 — and in this episode, we’re talking about why.

Podcasting is powerful, but it’s not for everyone. If you’re feeling the pressure to launch a show or wondering if podcasting is the right move for you, this conversation will help you get clear.

I'm unpacking what podcasting actually requires, who it’s really for, and why so many people quietly burn out along the way.

Before you start — or if you’re already in it and questioning things — this is a conversation you need to hear.

In this thoughtful and deeply honest conversation, I’m joined by Tonya Pieske—musician, writer, producer, and host of How to Tell Someone. Tonya shares how her lived experience with CPTSD and her background in fostering psychological safety shaped a podcast centered on safe, grounded, and consensual storytelling. We talk about what it truly means to hold space behind the mic, how to create guest conversations built on trust, and why podcasting should be more than content churn. Tonya also opens up about her one-woman DIY production process, creative capacity, and building a show with depth, nuance, and authenticity. If you want to create conversations that matter, this episode is for you.

You can have downloads, comments, and a growing audience—and still have a podcast that isn’t bringing in a single client. In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really going on when your show looks like it’s working but isn’t actually supporting your business. I walk you through the key misalignments I see all the time—from attracting the wrong audience to over-teaching without positioning—and how those gaps quietly block conversion. If you’ve been consistent but not seeing results, this is the conversation that will help you step back, get clear, and start using your podcast with intention.
