Is your podcast suffering because you're too nice?

In this episode, I call out the people pleasers because trying to make everyone happy could be killing your podcast’s impact (and ROI).

I see it over and over: podcasters letting guests ramble, avoiding clear CTAs, skipping structure and systems, all in the name of being nice.

In this episode, I break down exactly how people pleasing shows up in (and hurts) your podcast:

  1. On air: letting guests hijack your show and ignoring your listener

  2. Behind the scenes: missing deadlines and burning out because you didn’t set boundaries

  3. In your business: holding back your offers, afraid of sounding too salesy

  4. And the biggest trap of all… avoiding niching because you don’t want to leave anyone out

If you’ve been putting everyone else’s comfort ahead of your podcast’s purpose, this is your wake-up call. Your listener needs you to show up with confidence and clarity, not deliver watered-down content and wobbly leadership.

So, let’s talk about how to stop people pleasing and start podcasting like a pro.
