If your podcast feels stuck—or you’re dreaming of starting one but don’t know what next— most people hit that wall.

Not because their message isn’t good enough, but because no one showed them the roadmap.

In this episode, I share behind-the-scenes of how I grew two podcasts to top 200 organically without being a NY Times bestseller of mega influencer.

I also did it without spending a single dollar on ads.

This episode is about making your show (or future show) STAND OUT—because you don’t need tons of followers or fame to build a show of impact.

You just need to understand the right podcast marketing strategies. (And sadly most people don’t which is why so many podcasters give up.)

✨ And if you want to go deeper, grab the Podcast Growth Mini Mastermind—an on-demand training where I share 3 organic, non-paid strategies alongside another top 0.5% podcaster.

It’s just $7 (yes, really.) Mastermind link is here.

In this episode:

• The Mistake Most Podcasters Make: Why relying on social media keeps your show stuck.
• Long-Term Podcast Growth: How SEO + positioning bring new listeners every week.
• The Roadmap to Sustainably Scale: Simple steps to build community, not just downloads.

You don’t need a big following, a team, or fancy tech. These strategies are simple, heartfelt, and doable—even if you’re just getting started.

Listen now for a clear, honest roadmap to grow your podcast SOULFULLY!
