3 steps to start your podcast today (no perfection needed)

Published 5 days ago • 1 min read

Let's get straight to the point Reader,

You’re not waiting for the right audience to show up.

They’re waiting for you to show up.

I know the struggle—wanting everything to be perfect before you press “record.” The gear, the script, the flawless launch.

But here's the truth: Your audience needs your voice, not your perfection.

You don’t need to be perfect to get started. You don’t need a flawless launch or a polished show. What matters is that you show up as your true self, with all your unique perspectives.

So, let me give you three simple steps to start today—no gear or script required:

  1. Pick your topic – What are you passionate about? What’s the story only you can share?
  2. Hit record – Use the mic or the phone you already have. Talk for 10 minutes. It's all about starting.
  3. Send it out – Don’t overthink it. Share your message with one person first—just to get it out into the world.

The beauty of podcasting isn’t in the perfect setup—it’s in the imperfect, raw moments that connect with your listeners.

I’ve helped tons of clients overcome the fear of not being “ready,” and they all discover one thing: the real magic starts when you take the first step.

So, if you’ve been hesitating because you don’t feel “ready”—this is your moment.

Start today. Your voice matters, and your audience is waiting.

Today's reminder Reader, We wait for clarity. We wait for confidence. But both are often on the other side of expression. That idea you’ve been sitting on? The message that keeps nudging you in the quiet moments? It doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to be said. Most people never launch their podcast because they believe their message isn’t ready yet. But what if the act of speaking it out loud—unpolished, uncertain, real—is what makes it ready? If your voice shakes, let it. If your message...

Can you relate Reader? There’s a quiet kind of shame that shows up when we think we’ve “missed the window.” Too late to start the podcast. Too late to tell the story. Too late to matter. But here’s the truth I’ve learned, again and again, both in life and in coaching: The moment you decide to begin is always the perfect time. When I started Podcast Junkies in 2014, I thought I was late to the podcast party. Turns out it was one of the best decision I've ever made! Again, the moment you decide...

Let's get it straight, your story is your greatest asset Reader. Do you ever feel like you need more credentials, more qualifications, or more degrees to truly be the expert you want to be? I get it. It’s easy to believe that if you just had more experience, more technical knowledge, or a bigger following, you’d finally be ready to share your message. But here’s what I’ve learned: What you’ve lived through: That is your content. Your struggles. Your wins. The lessons learned the hard way....
