Are you worried about not just starting a podcast, but keeping it going? I dig into essential strategies for sustaining your podcasting journey, emphasizing the importance of knowing your "why." I share personal stories and actionable tips to help you identify your passion and maintain motivation.

From brainstorming episode ideas to understanding the time commitment, I encourage you to start small and seek feedback. I also discuss the significance of focusing on the aspects of podcasting you love, ensuring the process remains enjoyable and fulfilling.

Takeaways:

Understanding your 'why' is crucial for sustaining your podcast long-term and keeping you motivated.
Creating at least 10 episode ideas can help you maintain content flow and avoid burnout.
Start simple to avoid overwhelming yourself with complex setups and equipment.
Seek feedback from non-family members to ensure your content resonates with your target audience.
Recording practice episodes can help you gauge time investment and refine your skills before launching publicly.
Remember, not every podcast needs to last forever; it's okay to stop when your message is delivered.
