So before we dive in, remember to hit [00:01:40] the subscribe button so that you don’t miss any of the tips and insights and stories that can help you to create the business and the life you want. So if [00:01:50] you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck, in putting yourself out there. Just know that you are not alone. I have been there too, and my own [00:02:00] experiences helped me to empathize and get where you are coming from and where my clients are coming from.

And when that’s happened to me, I found a big thing that [00:02:10] helped was. I really craved being able to get outta my own head and having someone to talk to. So that is why with my clients, I do more [00:02:20] than just support them with the content creation and the podcast editing and that kind of thing, I. I’m available.

If they need someone to bounce ideas off and chat, [00:02:30] uh, or wonder which direction they’re going, or ask for some feedback, then I can do that because I know that that’s what I crave and that’s what I want myself. So one clear aspect that [00:02:40] helped me and that I find helps others is to get clear on what’s going on in your head and why, and what’s causing your feelings of [00:02:50] discomfort.

And so for me, I realized that I had the tendency. having a lot of interest in a lot of things and a lot of passions, and then wanting to go in different directions and not knowing [00:03:00] which way to go sometimes, and realizing that that was a trait of ADHD and that I had that trait helped me realize what whole, okay, [00:03:10] it’s not me trying to find the right thing and the right answer and the right podcast.

it’s me realizing that that is [00:03:20] a part of who I am, and that’s what I’m always going to wanna do, is to have all these different interests and exciting passions and stuff. So instead of going in different directions, if I know that this is my thing, [00:03:30] that I, that I want to, uh, explore different areas and I don’t wanna be boxed in then knowing.

how can [00:03:40] I make this more interesting and more fun and more sustainable for me to keep doing ongoing? So for me, that’s what led me to changing even in my mind, even if [00:03:50] it’s a subtle change to Magnetic Pod, pod. This podcast, it led me to changing how I felt about it because I thought, oh, okay, well, , I’m gonna [00:04:00] bring some of the things that I’ve been craving into this podcast.

Instead of chopping and changing and creating a possibly new podcast to reignite an old one I’d done in the past, or these [00:04:10] things went through my mind, um, because I wanted to, I, I was craving the storytelling and I was craving conversations and, and I was, you know, thinking about other things [00:04:20] that I’d like to do.

I thought, how can I bring that into what I’m already doing? So that. ending something and starting something new again, . So [00:04:30] that kind of, just knowing that, that that’s my tendency. I went, okay, I’m going to bring the things I crave into what I’m doing. So for you, [00:04:40] have a think about what you are missing and what you are craving, and how can you bring what you are craving into your podcast, into your content [00:04:50] creation.

Find a way to bring what you are craving into what you are doing. How can you make it more fun? So f So for me, I missed having some [00:05:00] personal conversations and I missed storytelling cuz I found that I was doing a lot of tips and tricks and stuff, but I wanted to tell [00:05:10] more stories. So I’m still doing tips and tricks, but, I am revealing more of myself, and I am doing some more storytelling into that, [00:05:20] and I plan to do more interviews.

It is easier, I admit to do the solo interviews, solo interviews, solo episodes, because I can just hit record and get it done. I don’t have [00:05:30] to tee up anything with anyone else. Uh, but so, but they, there will be some interviews coming as well. Side note, . Okay. I [00:05:40] would also suggest. as far as, as part of understanding what’s going on in your head and what it is that you need.

Some journal prompts. So I’ve written some down, [00:05:50] so I’m just gonna read these. Uh, what am I genuinely scared of? Is this fear based in reality? What can I do about it? [00:06:00] So if you are scared of what people think, for example, or you are scared of boring, people think, is it really true? Do [00:06:10] you know that someone’s bored?

If you do know that someone’s bored, do you care? Are they your people? Is it your target market? Worst case [00:06:20] scenario, if your worst fear happens, doesn’t matter. Is it that bad? Is it enough of a reason for you to not continue? What can you bring to the podcast that will energize you [00:06:30] again and make it more fun?

Even if it’s not the long term thing, it might be that. Bringing all the, the energy yourself and it just being you is getting too much and you’re [00:06:40] gonna have a guest host one or one or two times, or you’re gonna bring in some guests so that you have some conversation and some energy back from somebody else.

Have a think about who you [00:06:50] admire, what would they do? I’m not saying that you have to copy what someone else would do above yourself. It really has to come back to what screams inside your heart. [00:07:00] Yes. But if that can inspire. , that could be a good thing in a year from now or five years from now. What would your future self be telling [00:07:10] you to do?

What advice would your future self say? What would you wish you had done in five years or in one year? What would you have wished you have done from this point? [00:07:20] And the other thing is, remember that it’s okay to be human. So best practice is to be [00:07:30] consistent. Ideally one podcast a week, but even one podcast, a, a fortnight is good if that’s what is sustainable.

But [00:07:40] if you’re not, and if you stop because you are human, and life happens and either you just stopped or a thing happened in your life, don’t [00:07:50] let that be a reason that you just stop it altogether. You are human and. It’s like if you stopped exercising, don’t let that be a reason that you just [00:08:00] stop altogether like, like you can start again.

You don’t have to be perfect. You can get back on the horse and have another go, you know? [00:08:10] So the other thing to remember is if you are feeling like you’ve hit the wall, you’re feeling a bit sick of yourself, all of those sort of things [00:08:20] to remember that feelings. Temporary emotions. It is not forever. It is not a reason to think that it is all over.[00:08:30]

You know, we know this with our kids when they’re having a tantrum or whatever it might be, that they don’t know that that feeling is temporary and it’s just [00:08:40] all consuming and it’s just terrible. Uh, but we know, or at least we should. So just remember that if you’re going through a [00:08:50] dip in your confidence or whatever, it’s temporary.

It’s not forever. It doesn’t have to be, you don’t have to stay stuck there. You can feel that you can be [00:09:00] human, you can have your little wobbles, but you can get back. It’s not permanent. Another thing to think about is think about who you. . [00:09:10] Like for example, I know with this podcast that I’ve had people say that they, that they’ve listened to the podcast in planning their own podcast and it actually helped them.

Just remember who you help. [00:09:20] Just remember that your message does matter. Think of who you’ve helped. Think of any messages, any positive feedback that you’ve had. If anyone’s ever said that [00:09:30] what you shared has helped them, remember that, write them down. Celebrate that, feel, that feeling of wow. , [00:09:40] wow. This made a difference, this mattered.

I know for myself, for example, that I have listened to podcasts or content in any form. Might be [00:09:50] TikTok video, YouTube, whatever, that in my journey, I have definitely seen stuff out there that helped me [00:10:00] recognize things in myself and that made a difference, and those people. sometimes no. And sometimes they will never know and that’s okay.

And the [00:10:10] same is true for you. So just have a bit of faith that if you’re true to yourself and that you’re putting out content because it’s stuff that you care about and that you wanna help [00:10:20] people have faith that it’s making a difference. Let that be your why and Reremember, and you might have another why as well.

So remember that too. Remember what your [00:10:30] why is.

probably one of the most significant things I think has been, and that the thing that I really craved when I myself [00:10:40] has have had a bit of a confidence wobble, uh, and not sure what to do next in which direction to go, is that I have been in my [00:10:50] own head , and I’ve craved having the thing that. give other people.

So, and then I had to find, go out and find someone that I [00:11:00] could talk to about, Hey, this is where I’m at. This is what I’m feeling. I just need to bounce ideas off you here to listen and hear me, and let me unravel what’s in [00:11:10] my head and to someone who understands. So I think finding someone who will support you and understand you and let you just get it out, I think that’s really helpful too.

Maybe you can find [00:11:20] someone where you help each. Or if it’s podcasting, maybe reach out to me. So, have you ever hit the wall with content creation, [00:11:30] with podcasting?
