Podcasting shouldn’t feel this heavy.

And yet there are days when it takes more energy to get started than it should. You sit down to record, and before you even hit record, there’s resistance. Not because you don’t care, but because something feels off.

Most podcasters assume that when things feel hard, it’s a motivation problem. Or a consistency problem. Or a discipline problem.

I don’t see it that way. (That's why I'm hosting the Podcast Flywheel)

In this episode, I’m unpacking what’s happening when podcasting starts to feel like a grind — and why pushing harder almost never fixes it.

This isn’t about strategies or systems or doing more. It’s about understanding the quiet thing that erodes belief long before people ever quit.

If podcasting has started to feel like heavy maintenance, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why podcasting feels hard even when you’re showing up consistently
• The story most podcasters tell themselves when things stop feeling easy
• What changes when your podcast finally feels contained and supported
• How friction quietly drains belief over time
• Why this isn’t a personal failure

This episode isn’t here to hype you up or give you a checklist.

It’s here to help you notice what you’ve been pushing through — and what it’s been costing you.
