The Creator’s Dilemma: What to Share for Free and What to Save for Paid

After weeks of overthinking the podcast name and nearly slipping into podfade, I’m back — and we’re diving into the raw truth about content creation. Why do we spiral when no one’s watching? What should you give away for free? And how do you stay authentic without softening your edges?

In this solo, unscripted (but weirdly clear) episode, I unpack:

• Why creating free content can feel heavy — and what to do about it
• The difference between teaching the what vs. the how
• How to share generously without giving it all away
• What to do when your voice doesn’t sound “polished” enough for your clients
• A behind-the-scenes glimpse at the battle between my ‘unhinged’ and ‘hinged’ podcast identities

If you’ve been questioning your content, this episode is your reminder to show up — not perfectly, but powerfully.

Mentioned in this Episode:

• The concept of “Teach the what, charge for the how”
• Using YouTube, podcasts, and reels as slow-burn authority builders
• Creating content as a soul-aligned practice, not just a strategy

Quotable Moments:

• “If you round off your edges, you’re not you anymore.”
• “Not everyone is drinking Coke when they see the ad — but they remember it.”
• “You’re not behind. You’re just realigning.”

💡 For Coaches, Creators & Consultants:

This one’s especially for you if you're trying to move from client calls to content authority — without losing your voice or vibe along the way.
