I am so happy that you'velanded here.
(00:45):
Let's dive in.
Hello, hello, welcome back tothe podcast.
If you are new here, I'm Rae.
I'm a somatic coach andbreathwork facilitator, and if
you aren't new here, welcomeback.
I'm so glad that you're tuningin for today's episode.
For today's episode, I amdefinitely excited because I get
(01:09):
a lot of questions about havinga podcast.
I get asked a lot from myentrepreneur clients, my friends
, my family on kind of a lot ofdifferent questions, but I
mainly about how you start apodcast, and so I picked the
main questions that I get askedand if you have any more, just
(01:30):
let me know, and I could alwaysdo another episode in the future
.
But I know this topic isn'tnecessarily wellness based, so
just naming that in thebeginning, so you can always
come back for next week'sepisode if the biz side of
things doesn't really interestyou.
So before I dive into thedifferent questions that I
usually receive, I'll just wantto go into the benefits and
(01:53):
challenges.
So there are so many benefitsof having a podcast, and the
number one I would just say isthat it's so fun and I
absolutely love doing it.
It's such like a fun outlet ofa business.
It's a really nice way toconnect with people, to be
vulnerable, and I think it alsocreates a bit of a community
(02:15):
outside of social media, whichis really nice.
So if that's something that youknow you're looking for in your
business, business, it'sdefinitely a great outlet for
that.
And then, of course, you get todive deeper and create content
that is more detailed.
You can even be, I would say,even more vulnerable on a
podcast and being able to gomore in depth.
(02:39):
I appreciate that aspect of ita lot.
It's so hard sometimes whenyou're know sending out an email
blast or on social media, andyou can't go into all the detail
that you would like to.
So I definitely find that Ilike that about podcasting as
well.
And then, of course, there aresome challenges when you're
creating a podcast and, tosummarize, two of the biggest
(03:03):
challenges that I think comefrom podcasting.
The first would be when I firststarted my podcast, I was so
nervous to just have anotheroutlet in my business, to be
vulnerable in a new way, to justput myself out there in a new
way.
I think it'd be prettynerve-wracking in the beginning.
(03:24):
So growing pains, we'll say.
And then the second challengewould be time management.
So having a podcast candefinitely take up quite a bit
of time between recordingepisodes and then editing
episodes, writing show notes,things of that nature.
But I'll dive into so muchinformation on everything that
(03:47):
I've spoken about already.
So, although that one's achallenge, there are so many
tools out there that you can use.
That definitely help with thatone.
All right, so I'm going to diveinto a bunch of the main
questions that I get asked andthen I'm just going to go
through each one.
And, yeah, if you have anyother questions in addition to
these.
Definitely just let me know andI can always do another episode
(04:10):
if there seems to be someinterest around this topic.
So the first one is how do yourecord your episodes?
So the tech that I use behindthe scenes I use a blue Yeti
microphone.
Scenes I use a Blue Yetimicrophone and then I have Sony
(04:30):
wireless headphones on and thereason why I do that.
So the Blue Yeti definitelywill help with the sound quality
.
This one was actually myhusband's, so I got lucky in the
sense that I didn't have to buyit, so I actually don't know
how much it costs, but theheadphones were also a gift for
the holidays.
The headphones help because ifthere's any feedback or any
noise while I'm recording, I'llbe able to hear it in the
(04:52):
headphones.
I also just kind of tunes outthe outside world, so that's
really nice too.
And then I record my episodeson GarageBand, so that's an app
that's right on.
I have like a MacBook, so ifyou are using a like Windows or
PC, you would probably need touse an app online, something
like Riverside or Anchor, andI've heard great things about
(05:16):
those apps as well.
And then I only do an audiopodcast.
There's definitely a lot ofvideo podcasts out there so I
can only speak to.
You know what I do in thismoment.
I don't really have the desireto do a video podcast in the
future.
But you know we'll see whathappens in life and if that
changes.
But for right now mine is onlyaudio based, so I don't have to
(05:39):
do any.
You know editing in terms oflike video or uploading video or
anything I only upload theaudio and then I use what's
called Buzzsprout and that iswhat I upload the completed
edited episode to and that appcalled Buzzsprout distributes it
to.
(05:59):
I think it's almost like 20other podcast platforms and you
only have to connect it once andthen it will go and send the
podcast episode everywhere.
So that's called a hostingplatform.
So that's what I use that for.
And then the second question doyou use an outline?
So I definitely record so manydifferent episodes.
(06:20):
It really depends on theepisode.
I sometimes will have like arough outline of what I'd like
to cover.
So, for example, I have a listof all of the questions that I
get asked and then I just amkind of what I call like riffing
through each question.
If there's something that Iwant to definitely include.
I'll write it down and I'll addit to the outline.
(06:42):
And then there's other episodeslike maybe on a guest episode
where I have an outline ofquestions and I'm just using
that as like a rough guide as wemove through the episode.
Solo episodes and guestepisodes are so different.
They're like a totallydifferent skill set.
So I'm definitely still likelearning and growing when it
comes to having guests on andjust how to have that like fluid
(07:04):
, natural conversation.
So I appreciate having like alist of questions.
That way, if you kind of getlike stuck in a jam, you can
just like use your list ofquestions and it's not going to
be.
It's something that you need tolike pause and return back to
later.
Which leads me right into thenext question how do you reach
out to guests and how do you vethaving different guests on the
(07:26):
podcast?
So for myself, I actuallycreated a list of people that
were in my network that Ialready knew that I think would
be great guests to have on thepodcast.
So that definitely made iteasier in the beginning because
these are people that I know.
So that relationship wasalready there.
And then I've also reached outinto Facebook groups that are
(07:48):
for podcasting and I requestedfor people to reach out to me if
they wanted to be a guest, andso let's say I had 100 people
respond to what I posted.
Then I went through each ofthose people and I read what
they wanted to speak about.
I looked on their social media,I looked on their website and I
tried to find people that Ithink would be a really good
(08:10):
match for what my audience wouldlike to hear.
So it can be a bit timeconsuming if you go the route of
like not really knowing theguests because you are, you know
, taking a chance where youmight not click with the person
or maybe you actually don't likewhat they're talking about.
So I knew that for myself.
I knew it was really importantthat if the person was coming to
(08:32):
speak on the podcast, that theywere definitely like
well-versed in what they weretalking about.
If it was some sensitiveinformation, they were trauma
informed, you know things oflike that nature.
So those were kind of like howI determined if I wanted them to
be on or not.
And then the next question whatdo you use for editing pictures
(08:52):
and videos?
So I don't have like a videopodcast, so I can't speak to
this in terms of like podcasting.
But I've definitely, you know,posted, you know, reels and
pictures of me podcasting, whichdefinitely helps in the
beginning when you're looking tobuild yours.
Just getting awareness outthere and definitely talking
(09:15):
about it on your other platformsdefinitely helps.
So I just use my iPhone I thinkI have like an iPhone 11 or 12,
I think, and that's what I usefor recording and then for
editing I use two apps One iscalled Captions and then the
other is called CapCut, and, ofcourse, instagram, the platform.
(09:39):
I used to be active on TikTok,but I'm not really as much.
It just was getting like alittle bit too much to try and
do everything.
So those are the apps that Iuse, and then I primarily am
putting you know material onInstagram or on my email
newsletter.
And then, in general, some otherquestions that I've been asked
about if I batch episodes, how Iedit, like how I figured out my
(10:03):
niche, what are the differentepisode styles.
So there's definitely like alot of more information that I
can add to this, but I'll leaveit.
I'll leave it here and then I'dlove to share, kind of like my
top three tips if you're lookingto get started today on
creating your podcast.
How exciting, so fun.
(10:24):
So my first tip is kind ofstraightforward but a little bit
nuanced as well, and that is to, if you have the idea, if you
have the desire to have apodcast, just start, whatever
that process might look like.
So that might look likeoutlining, you know, the behind
(10:44):
the scenes, like what's yourniche, what's your description,
what software do you want to use?
What, uh, how like, what kindof episodes do you want to have?
What are some name ideas likestart brainstorming, start
planning all the finer detailsand just start.
That doesn't mean that you needto like record on day one,
right when you get the idea, butjust start, like planning out
(11:06):
the process.
I think I spent maybe like ninemonths to a year on just the
planning part because I wasreally waiting for the right
time for me and like my life, ofbeing able to bring a podcast
into the world and like actuallycommit to it and manage it.
And I'm really glad that I tookmy time in and moving through
(11:28):
it at the pace that felt goodfor me and it was really in the
beginning.
It was really reallyconfronting and I would even say
now it is too Like sometimesI'll post an episode and I'm
like, oh my God, like no, like Ihave to like share it and like
what if I was like particularlyvulnerable in an episode or
something Like it can bring upsome stuff.
So go at the pace that feelsgood for you, for you, and there
(11:53):
are so many free resources outthere that will walk you through
the entire process.
So by the time that I felt likeI was ready to actually hit
record, I had so many you knowparts of it in place that it
really took a lot of thechallenges out of the equation
because I had everything inorder.
So I wasn't kind of likescrambling as much as maybe I
would have been if I rushed theprocess.
(12:14):
So just start whatever thatlooks like for you, whether it's
like ideating names or writingdown your ideas or looking up
software and figuring out whatapps you want to use.
And then my second tip is thatit does not have to be perfect.
So I changed a few things onthis podcast even since I've
started, and an example would belike the cover art.
(12:36):
I think I released maybe like10 to 15 episodes and then I
changed the cover art.
I updated it.
So there are definitely tweaksthat you can make along the way,
and there are even someepisodes that I've released that
you know maybe haven't been myfavorite, but no one would ever
know, you know.
So it doesn't have to beperfect.
(12:58):
And there's also been a fewepisodes that I've recorded and
I didn't love it, so I just,like you know, deleted it and re
recorded or released adifferent one instead of
releasing that one.
You know, so it doesn't have tobe perfect.
It's going to take time andthat's okay.
You're going to work through it, you're going to get better at
it as you go and it's super fun,which leads me to tip number
(13:23):
three, which is have as much funas possible as you can with it.
I'm not going to be the nextJoe Rogan I don't even know if
that's a goal of mine but I'mgoing to be myself, and wherever
that takes me is absolutelybeautiful.
And I have so much fun recordingon the podcast because I get to
(13:46):
speak with people in the DMs, Iget to have phone calls with
people about something that camefrom the podcast, I get to get
emails about it and reallyconnect with people, and it
really does create such acommunity, and I could not be
more grateful for that, becauseit's so outside of like the norm
of, you know, posting somethingon Instagram, which I love too,
(14:08):
but it's different, which isnice.
So you get to connect withpeople in a different way.
You get to have so much funwith it, you get to kind of jam
on topics that you're passionateabout, and there are so many
different kinds of podcasts outthere as well, so, you know,
there's definitely so manydifferent angles that you can go
with your podcast and, yeah,just stay true to yourself and
(14:29):
have as much fun as you possiblycan.
Yeah, so those are my top threetips that I hope will help you
in taking action towards gettingstarted today.
The first is move at your paceand take whatever small steps
you need to just get started.
The second is that it doesn'thave to be perfect.
You can take messy action andyou can always change things as
(14:51):
you go.
And the third is have fun withit, just be yourself.
There's nobody out there thatcan replicate what you do,
because there's only one of you.
So really stay true to yourself, have fun with it and enjoy the
process.
I think for myself the long-termvision for the podcast right
now.
If I had to pick like one ortwo goals, it would really just
(15:12):
be to stay consistent.
I have so much fun doing it.
I really just want to keep itgoing.
I don't really have any likebig goals for it right now, and
I think that's also why I likeit so much.
It's just an outlet for me toshare, to help people, to
connect with people, to speak indepth about different topics,
and that's what I love so muchabout it.
So there is definitely a lotmore that I could share on this
(15:36):
topic in the world of podcasting, but I will leave it here for
now.
I hope that you enjoyed today'sepisode.
If you have any other questionsabout podcasting, definitely
shoot me a note and I can answerthem in a future episode.
I hope that you have anincredible rest of your week, an
incredible rest of your day,and I will talk to you soon.

If you are new here, I'm Rae.
I'm a somatic coach andbreathwork facilitator, and if
you aren't new here, welcomeback.
I'm so glad that you're tuningin for today's episode.
For today's episode, I amdefinitely excited because I get
(01:09):
a lot of questions about havinga podcast.
I get asked a lot from myentrepreneur clients, my friends

time for me and like my life, ofbeing able to bring a podcast
into the world and like actuallycommit to it and manage it.
And I'm really glad that I tookmy time in and moving through
(11:28):
it at the pace that felt goodfor me and it was really in the
beginning.
It was really reallyconfronting and I would even say
now it is too Like sometimesI'll post an episode and I'm
like, oh my God, like no, like Ihave to like share it and like
what if I was like particularlyvulnerable in an episode or
something Like it can bring upsome stuff.
So go at the pace that feelsgood for you, for you, and there
(11:53):
are so many free resources outthere that will walk you through
the entire process.
So by the time that I felt likeI was ready to actually hit
record, I had so many you knowparts of it in place that it
really took a lot of thechallenges out of the equation
because I had everything inorder.
So I wasn't kind of likescrambling as much as maybe I
would have been if I rushed theprocess.
(12:14):
So just start whatever thatlooks like for you, whether it's
like ideating names or writingdown your ideas or looking up
software and figuring out whatapps you want to use.
And then my second tip is thatit does not have to be perfect.
So I changed a few things onthis podcast even since I've
started, and an example would belike the cover art.
(12:36):
I think I released maybe like10 to 15 episodes and then I
changed the cover art.
I updated it.
So there are definitely tweaksthat you can make along the way,
and there are even someepisodes that I've released that
you know maybe haven't been myfavorite, but no one would ever
know, you know.
So it doesn't have to beperfect.
(12:58):
And there's also been a fewepisodes that I've recorded and
I didn't love it, so I just,like you know, deleted it and re
recorded or released adifferent one instead of
releasing that one.
You know, so it doesn't have tobe perfect.
It's going to take time andthat's okay.
You're going to work through it, you're going to get better at
it as you go and it's super fun,which leads me to tip number
(13:23):
three, which is have as much funas possible as you can with it.
I'm not going to be the nextJoe Rogan I don't even know if
that's a goal of mine but I'mgoing to be myself, and wherever
that takes me is absolutelybeautiful.
And I have so much fun recordingon the podcast because I get to
(13:46):
speak with people in the DMs, Iget to have phone calls with
people about something that camefrom the podcast, I get to get
emails about it and reallyconnect with people, and it
really does create such acommunity, and I could not be
more grateful for that, becauseit's so outside of like the norm
of, you know, posting somethingon Instagram, which I love too,
(14:08):
but it's different, which isnice.
So you get to connect withpeople in a different way.
You get to have so much funwith it, you get to kind of jam
on topics that you're passionateabout, and there are so many
different kinds of podcasts outthere as well, so, you know,
there's definitely so manydifferent angles that you can go
with your podcast and, yeah,just stay true to yourself and
(14:29):
have as much fun as you possiblycan.
Yeah, so those are my top threetips that I hope will help you
in taking action towards gettingstarted today.
The first is move at your paceand take whatever small steps
you need to just get started.
The second is that it doesn'thave to be perfect.
You can take messy action andyou can always change things as
(14:51):
you go.
And the third is have fun withit, just be yourself.
There's nobody out there thatcan replicate what you do,
because there's only one of you.
So really stay true to yourself, have fun with it and enjoy the
process.
I think for myself the long-termvision for the podcast right
now.
If I had to pick like one ortwo goals, it would really just
(15:12):
be to stay consistent.
I have so much fun doing it.
I really just want to keep itgoing.
I don't really have any likebig goals for it right now, and
I think that's also why I likeit so much.
It's just an outlet for me toshare, to help people, to
connect with people, to speak indepth about different topics,
and that's what I love so muchabout it.
So there is definitely a lotmore that I could share on this
(15:36):
topic in the world of podcasting, but I will leave it here for
now.
I hope that you enjoyed today'sepisode.
