What you're afraid to admit


Gotta love Mondays Reader!

A clean slate. A fresh start.

There's nothing better than starting the week off on the right foot.

You've got your week planned out, your calendar's looking great and you're motivated to get stuff done!

It's when you don't have a plan that things start to feel overwhelming.

Not necessarily because of the tasks, but due to fear of the unknown.

Starting a podcast can be similar—not because of the tech, but because of the fear.

Fear of not sounding ‘good enough.’
Fear of no one listening.
Fear of wasting time.

But every podcaster you admire felt the same way before they hit ‘record.’

The difference? They did it anyway.

The biggest barrier to podcasting isn’t the microphone, the software, or the strategy—it’s hesitation. Waiting until you feel 100% ready. Hoping the nerves will magically disappear.

They won’t.

Confidence doesn’t come before action—it comes because of it.

The moment you start recording, you gain momentum.

And momentum beats hesitation every time.

That’s exactly why I created The Podcast Influence Accelerator Workshop.

In this live session, I’ll teach you how to lead engaging interviews, connect with your guests, and feel like a pro behind the mic—even if you’re just starting.

The hardest part is taking the first step. I’ll help you with the rest.

Your podcast won’t launch itself. Let’s make it happen.

See you inside.

Think you ‘don’t have time’ to podcast? The problem isn’t time—it’s the system. A well-structured workflow means recording one day per month can keep your show consistent. AI tools, batching episodes, and outsourcing editing can free up hours. The key isn’t working harder—it’s working smarter. Most podcasters struggle with inconsistent publishing not because they lack time, but because they’re stuck in inefficiency. They: [X] Record one episode at a time instead of batching.

What's the weekend mean for you Reader? Personally, Sundays are my reset button. It’s the day I step back, reflect, and set my intentions for the week ahead. I think about what went well, what needs tweaking, and how I can show up better—not just in my personal life, but in my work, my relationships, and everything I create. Because when you pause and plan with intention, you stop drifting through the week. And this applies to podcasting too. The best hosts don’t just hit record and hope for...
