Feeling like podcasting is starting to take more than it gives? You’re not alone and you don’t have to stay in hustle mode.
This episode is your permission slip to make your podcast easier, lighter, and more sustainable with smart systems and automation that don’t strip away your magic. I’m breaking down what parts of your podcasting workflow should be automated, what should always stay sacred, and the mindset shift that helped me fall in love with podcasting again.
In this episode, we're covering:
- The plan-produce-promote framework that keeps your show running on autopilot
- What actually makes sense to automate (and what should always stay human)
- How AI can help you repurpose content, write show notes, and batch episodes
- Why your voice and stories are non-negotiable, and how to protect your magic
- The lie we're told about effort = worth
- The truth about how automation makes your podcast more powerful, not less personal
