This is episode 8. And honestly? 8 is the only number I've been focused on and had circled on my calendar since I started this podcast. Not downloads. Not rankings. Not reviews. Just getting to episode 8.

In this episode, I'm sharing why I specifically set episode 8 as my first milestone, the gym analogy that explains progressive overload in podcasting, and why focusing on vanity metrics is never a recipe for long-term success from my experience.

I also get real about what actually feels better than hitting a global ranking, plus I reveal my next milestone and why it's based on MY schedule, not someone else's.

No matter what your goal is as you start on your own podcasting journey, most importantly, make sure it's your goal, not someone else's. It's my intention that this episode can be a reminder not to fall into the comparison trap!

Small wins build the habit. Celebrate when you hit them, then set the next one.

Remember - it's YOUR show and there are NO RULES!
