126. Your First 3 Episodes — What to Record Before You Ever Hit Publish

I’m back with a brand new episode of the SOUL Podcasting Podcast, and today we’re talking about something every new podcaster needs to know: what to record before you ever hit publish. If you’ve been stuck on the name, the logo, the gear, or waiting for everything to feel “perfect” before you start — this episode is for you. I’m breaking down the first 3 episodes I recommend every podcaster create: the introduction episode, the problem-solving episode, and the story episode — so you can stop overthinking and start sharing your message with confidence. Plus, I’m sharing a little life update and why I believe your content doesn’t have to be constant to be consistent.

125. What If Someone Already Has a Podcast on My Topic?

You searched your podcast idea and found forty other shows already doing it. Now what? In this episode, I'm breaking down the myth of the "taken" topic — and walking you through three simple questions to uncover the angle that makes your voice not just different, but necessary. We'll also talk about why a topic and a perspective are not the same thing, and how to put it all together in one clear sentence that becomes the foundation of your entire show. This one is hands-on.

124. Why Knowing Your Audience Changes Everything, with Rachel Allen

I’m really excited about this conversation with Rachel Allen because it gets straight to the heart of what so many of us struggle with—why our content isn’t converting and what actually needs to shift. In this episode, I sit down with Rachel, marketing strategist and copywriter, to talk about everything from positioning and messaging to why ideal client avatars often miss the mark and how to truly understand your audience in a deeper way. We also get into how to use AI without losing your authentic voice, which I know a lot of creators are navigating right now.

123. 3 Places Your Podcast Should Be Showing Up Besides Spotify

In this quick mini-series episode, I’m sharing the three places I believe your podcast should be showing up besides Spotify and Apple Podcasts if you actually want people to discover your show. I talk about why podcast apps alone aren’t enough anymore, how I think about short-form content, email lists, and searchable platforms like YouTube or blogs, and how to grow your podcast in a more sustainable, intentional way—without feeling like you have to be everywhere all the time. // If you’re ready to stop planning and finally move forward with your podcast launch, this is your next step. * ▶️Watch Soul Podcasting on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@demetriazinga [https://www.youtube.com/@demetriazinga] * 🎁 Download the Launch Confidently Podcasting Checklist and join the Fearless Podcast Launch here: https://soulpodcasting.com/resources/ [https://soulpodcasting.com/resources/] * 🏫Join my Skool community here: https://www.skool.com/soul-podcasting-5316/about [https://www.skool.com/soul-podcasting-5316/about] * 🎙️Grab your Podcast Mini-Audit: https://soulpodcasting.com/podcast-coaching-services/#mini-audit [https://soulpodcasting.com/podcast-coaching-services/#mini-audit] * 👩🏾‍💻Ready to go all-in?
