This is a bittersweet moment — one Kristin has wrestled with, prayed over, and finally feels at peace stepping into.

Today, she’s sharing something that might come as a surprise: she’s pressing stop on this podcast.

It’s not because she’s tired of it. It’s not because she’s out of things to share. It’s because deep in her heart, she knows it’s time. The journey of creating, connecting, and building this space has been nothing short of incredible. But sometimes, growth looks like stepping back. Creating margin. Trusting that when God asks you to lay something down, He’s making space for something even greater.

So while this may be the final episode here, it’s not goodbye. It’s a new beginning.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Thank you for every download, every message, every moment you’ve shared.

Sometimes, the best thing we can do is take a breath and pause. That’s exactly the kind of space this episode creates—a peaceful pause for entrepreneurs who are feeling burnt out, anxious, or overwhelmed. Kristin welcomes healing and leadership coach Denise Lee Gee, who brings hope, healing, and clarity to the table—inviting us to let go of pressure and step into authentic leadership.

If you've been wondering whether you're showing up in your business (and life) from a place of peace or performance, this conversation will help you get honest—with yourself and with God. Denise unpacks what it really means to lead from authenticity, not from hustle or the need to prove something.

Here’s what you’ll hear inside this powerful episode:

• What it truly means to show up authentically—without confusing it with transparency or oversharing
• How to recognize when you’re operating from pressure rather than peace
• Why slowing down and surrendering control helps you stay grounded in who you really are

“Understand the intentionality before the action”

If you’ve been chasing achievement at the expense of alignment, this episode is your invitation to pause. To get clear on who you are. To trust the healing process. And to co-create from a place of honesty and peace rather than striving. Because authenticity isn’t about saying everything—it’s about showing up without a hidden agenda.

If you’ve been showing up week after week—recording, editing, publishing—and still wondering when the growth will come, this conversation with Kristin and Brittney is exactly what your heart needs. It’s not just about consistency. It’s about surrender.

Sometimes we grip so tightly to what we think should happen that we unintentionally block the space where God wants to move. We treat results like proof of obedience—but the truth is, we're called to show up in obedience regardless of what we see.

Here’s what helps when you start to feel stuck:

• Be consistent in your calling, but release the pressure of what it should look like
• If something feels off, get curious—check in with God and ask Him what He’s doing
• You might have to drop your plan to pick up His—and it might be better than you imagined

“You are called to hit record. What happens after that is in His hands.”

Surrender isn’t passive. It’s a posture of trust. And when you walk in it, not just kneel in it, you give God full permission to move through your message. His vision is always bigger. His timing is always better. Keep showing up. Stay open. And let Him handle the outcome.

​​We all know social media matters. It’s one of the most powerful ways to grow your audience, expand your reach, and get your podcast in front of the right people.

But let’s be honest—it’s overwhelming. There are too many platforms, too many rules, and too many voices telling you what you should be doing. Algorithms shift, trends come and go, and what works on one platform won’t necessarily work on another.

Where should you be showing up? What kind of content actually performs? And how do you keep up without burning out?

In this episode, Kristin sits down with social media strategist Amber to break it all down. They get into the real questions creators are asking—what’s working right now for podcasters, where you should focus your time, and how to stop overthinking content and start creating with intention.

They cover:

• Why short-form video continues to dominate
• How to make your content more discoverable through search
• What platforms actually matter for your audience—Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Facebook
• And how to build a system that makes showing up feel sustainable

This isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about building a strategy that works for you, your content, and your listeners—without having to be everywhere, all the time.

Your voice matters. The words you speak over yourself matter—especially when it comes to podcasting. Kristin welcomes powerhouse Chantal Santiago, who knows how to use her voice and encourages others to do the same.

This episode is a reminder that the words you speak carry tremendous power—not just for you, but for those who need to hear your message.

Many people hesitate to speak because they focus on their own fears and insecurities. But your voice was never about you—it’s someone else’s breakthrough. Instead of asking, Who am I to speak? ask, Who will suffer if I don’t?

• Your podcast isn’t just about creating content—it’s about delivering a message.
• Your words determine how far your podcast will go. Align them with the future you hope for.
• Faith comes first, strategy second. Saying yes despite resistance is where the real power lies.
• Self-awareness is your superpower. Take inventory of your words—are they building you up or tearing you down?

"You can’t pray for kingdom expansion while speaking hesitation over your life."

Your words have power. They can either build you up or hold you back. Fear and hesitation will always be there, but saying yes anyway is what sets you apart. If you want to grow, start by speaking life over yourself and your message. Your voice was meant to be heard—so use it.

Podcast growth isn’t just about hitting records and hoping for the best—it’s about keeping listeners engaged and making small, strategic shifts that keep your content fresh. But keeping your audience interested doesn’t mean you have to reinvent your entire show. Instead, subtle changes can make all the difference.

In this episode, Kristin sits down with podcaster Jerry Potter, who transitioned from radio to podcasting and knows firsthand the challenges of keeping content engaging. Together, they dive into a dynamic approach to podcasting that keeps listeners tuned in longer without overwhelming creators.

Here’s what you need to know to keep your podcast engaging and evolving:

• If your podcast feels stagnant, you don’t have to overhaul everything—just tweak how you deliver content.
• Modcasting is a game-changer. Adding structured content modules can help break away from the traditional podcast format while making episodes feel fresh and dynamic.
• Video accelerates trust. With AI-generated content on the rise, building real, human connection through video can help strengthen audience trust and engagement.
• You don’t have to throw out what’s working. Modcasting isn’t about starting over—it’s about refining and enhancing what you’ve already built.

“The trust acceleration that comes from video is on a whole new level.”

There’s no single formula for podcast success, but staying flexible and open to new formats can breathe new life into your show.

Podcast growth isn’t just about creating great content—it’s about making sure that content reaches the right audience and sparks engagement. But growing your podcast doesn’t happen overnight, and it’s not just about posting everywhere. It takes strategy, patience, and the right tools to make it happen.

In this episode, Deirdre Tshein, founder of Capsho, breaks down the four key steps to get unlimited traffic to your podcast. She shares the truths about podcast growth, how to leverage content, and why patience is essential.

Here’s what you need to know to grow your podcast traffic:

• Passive organic marketing is your foundation.
• Once your content is out there, it’s time to activate it.
• Organic marketing builds your foundation, but when you’re ready to grow, paid ads can accelerate your reach.
• Podcasting is a long game. Podcasters often give up too early, but Deirdre reminds us that real growth takes time.

There’s no silver bullet for podcast growth. Stay consistent, enjoy the process, and keep focusing on what matters most—creating valuable content.

Remember, podcast growth is about putting in the work, staying patient, and using the right strategies. By following these steps and leveraging tools like Capsho, you’ll be setting your podcast up for long-term success.

Selling can feel uncomfortable, but it doesn’t have to. The key? Serve first.

Ask yourself: am I creating episodes that meet my listeners where they are? Am I providing a solution to their problem? When you focus on helping, selling becomes a natural next step.

People won’t get the “ick” if you make it clear how you can help. They just need to know what to do next. Guide them—whether it’s grabbing a resource, booking a call, or joining your offer.

In today’s episode Kristin reminds listeners that selling isn’t about pushing. It’s about showing up, building trust, and using your voice to share your story. Serve first, and the right people will follow.
