Think you need a $400 mic and a fancy studio before you can launch your podcast? Think again.

It’s easy to get stuck in the gear spiral, comparing mics, researching setups, and convincing yourself you’re not ready until everything looks “pro.”

I’m cutting through the noise to show you what actually matters when you’re starting a podcast. We’ll talk practical, budget-friendly mic tips, simple sound upgrades, and how to stop second-guessing and start recording with confidence.

If you’ve been stuck in perfectionism or tech overwhelm, this is your permission slip to just begin.
