Thinking about starting a second podcast but worried it's too soon?

Most podcast advice says you should wait until you've been consistent for years before launching another show. Steph disagrees.In this episode of Pod Savvy Guide, Steph shares why she started her second podcast less than a month after her first, what she's learned from producing more than 18 podcast series, and how having multiple shows has actually made her a better podcaster.

She also talks about the realities of managing multiple podcasts, when a limited series might be a better fit than an ongoing show, and the templates, systems, and automations she uses to keep four active podcasts organized.

Whether you're dreaming up a second podcast or wondering if your next idea deserves its own feed, this episode will help you decide what makes the most sense for you not what everyone else says you should do.

Have you ever wondered if taking a break from your podcast would hurt your momentum or actually help it? After producing more than 1,000 podcast episodes, I stepped away from podcasting for about two and a half months. During that time, I focused on creating courses, took a break from social media, gave my creativity room to breathe, and discovered something surprising: stepping away made me love podcasting even more.

In this episode, I share what went well, what I wish I had done differently, and why I don't believe every podcaster needs to publish 52 weeks a year. We also talk about podcast burnout, planning intentional seasons, rebuilding momentum after a break, and why it's okay to design a podcast schedule that actually fits your life.

In this episode of Pod Savvy Guide, Steph shares why she’s pressing pause on most of her podcasts for the next two months. After running five shows while also working full time, she realized she was starting to feel burnt out and needed time to reset. Instead of trying to keep everything going, she’s using this break to focus on building the next stage of her business creating bite-sized podcasting courses and learning how to run Meta ads to grow her audience and programs. Steph shares why stepping away, even from something you love, can sometimes be the smartest move for creators. She’ll be back with new episodes and fresh energy on May 30th.

How does a podcaster turn a single show into a media empire? In this episode of Pod Savvy Guide, Steph breaks down insights from an interview with Alex Cooper, host of Call Her Daddy and founder of the Unwell Network, on the The Burnouts podcast. Steph explores Cooper’s journey from editing her own show to signing a $60 million deal with Spotify in 2021 and later a $125 million deal with SiriusXM. The episode looks at how Cooper and her husband built a full media ecosystem—including podcasts, live events, production, and an ad agency—and why her biggest lesson was learning to treat podcasting like a real business by getting everything in writing. Steph connects these big industry moves back to DIY podcasters, explaining why the real takeaway isn’t the millions of dollars—it’s the power of consistently showing up, building an audience, and using your podcast as a marketing engine for your expertise and business.
