Have you ever felt guilty about taking a break from your podcast?

Taking a break doesn’t mean you’ve failed. In this episode, I’m talking about how to return to your podcast after a break, whether it’s been two weeks or two years. I share some real stories from podcasters who’ve hit pause and come back on their own terms, plus the mindset shifts and practical tweaks that make it easier to stay consistent.

You’ll hear why the break itself isn’t the problem, it’s the pressure we pile on afterwards that can make restarting feel hard. I run through some simple steps that can help you relaunch without overthinking it, and without trying to do it all.

If you’ve been stuck in the guilt loop or just want to make podcasting feel lighter, this one’s for you.

Do you really know what your podcast stats mean, or are they just numbers on a screen?

If you’ve ever felt confused looking at your podcast analytics, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down which stats actually matter and how to use them to make smarter decisions for your show. From why downloads don’t give the full picture, to understanding the goldmine that is your consumption rate, this episode helps you read your numbers with confidence.

You’ll learn the difference between listeners, plays, downloads, and followers, and why Apple and Spotify often show completely different numbers. I also share how to avoid losing your stats if you ever switch hosting platforms and give practical tips on how to spot patterns that help your podcast grow.
