Give a warm welcome to this week's guest Sarah Mcdowell! Sarah works as the SEO Manager at podcast management and monetization platform, Captivate, as well as host of her own podcast SEO Mindset.
Realizing the common struggles faced by SEO professionals, such as impostor syndrome, burnout, and self-doubt, Sarah and her co-host Tazmin Suleman saw an opportunity to create a platform for open and honest conversations.
Thus, the SEO Mindset podcast was born, addressing topics ranging from personal growth to mental health and career development. It has been running for a year now, featuring engaging episodes where the hosts and guests dig deep into specific subjects. The goal? To shed light on the often overlooked areas of the industry and let everyone know that they are not alone in their challenges.
In this episode, Sarah shares her journey from studying dance in university to becoming an SEO manager at Captivate. She opens up about her struggles with impostor syndrome and the importance of embracing discomfort to overcome it. She also provides valuable insights on maintaining a healthy work-life balance and setting boundaries, all while navigating the constant influx of information in the SEO field.
