| Episode 82: 10 Strategies to Turn Podcast Listeners Into Email Subscribers (That Actually Work) REPLAY | 08 sept. 2026 | 00:31:03 | |
This is the last replay episode in this series, and I saved one of my most popular ones for the finale. Starting next episode, I am kicking off a brand new 4-part series walking you through exactly how to set up Claude to support your podcast marketing efforts, quick shortcuts, tips, and how you can use it throughout your entire business. That starts with episode 83. But today, let's talk about growing your podcast and your email list at the same time. Podcast downloads alone are outdated as a primary metric of success. You do not own those listeners, but you do own your email list. Your email list is a direct line to your audience where you can build trust, provide value, and turn loyal listeners into paying super fans. In this episode, I am sharing 10 proven strategies to build your podcast audience and your email list simultaneously. This is tactical and step by step. Whether you are just starting out or already getting thousands of downloads per episode, these strategies work at every stage. I have worked with big name podcasters who have massive audiences and are not paying attention to their email list at all. Do not wait until you are at a million downloads to realize you have no one to talk to on the other side. Start connecting these two channels now. Here's a glance to the episode:

| Episode 81: REPLAY: A Step-by-Step Guide for Writing SEO-Rich Podcast Show Notes That Actually Rank | 01 sept. 2026 | 00:27:23 | |
I am still on maternity leave, soaking up snuggles with my baby boy, so I am continuing to bring back a few of my favorite episodes, the ones my audience loved most and got the most value from. Today's topic is something I get asked about more than almost anything else: how to write show notes that actually rank on Google and AI search tools and drive traffic back to your podcast, your website, and your email list. This episode walks you through the entire process step by step. It originally released back in February 2025 as episode 4. Since I recorded this, I have fully switched over to Claude for this exact task, and I cannot recommend it enough. I have trained my Claude to sound like me, and it remembers my templates and my voice far better than what I was using before. If you are deciding which AI tool to use for your podcast marketing, that is my strong recommendation. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how to use AI to draft SEO-rich, blog-style show notes that go far beyond a simple summary. This is a real resource hub for your episode, something structured specifically to attract search engine traffic, convert casual readers into loyal listeners, and turn your show notes into a true traffic-driving, list-building asset for your business.

| Episode 80: The Metrics Top Female Podcasters Are Actually Tracking (Hint: It's Not Downloads) REPLAY | 25 août 2026 | 00:30:08 | |
I am still on maternity leave, so today I am bringing back one of my most popular episodes, and for good reason. I originally dropped this in early 2025 and it sparked more DMs, replies, and "oh my gosh, I needed to hear this" messages than almost any other episode I have released. Even if you heard it the first time around, this one is worth a second listen. In this episode, I am breaking down the metrics that actually matter beyond downloads. We are talking about followers, super fan conversions, community, and how to stop treating your podcast like it is siloed from the rest of your business. If you have been refreshing your download numbers and wondering whether any of this is even working, this episode is going to be a reset for you. Downloads are a vanity metric. They give you some insight, but they do not tell you if people are actually coming back, if they are following your show, if they are joining your email list, or if they are buying your offers. In this episode, I walk through exactly what to track instead and how to turn your podcast into a true growth engine for your business, not just a content channel that lives on its own. Here's a glance to the episode: Why Followers Matter More Than You Think
How to Create Super Fans
How to Turn Passive Listeners Into Active Subscribers
How to Build Real Community Through Your Podcast
How to Fully Integrate Your Podcast Into Your Business

If you have ever wondered whether paid ads could actually help you grow your podcast, or if Meta Ads Manager makes your eyes glaze over, this episode is for you. My guest is Meta ad strategist and agency owner Brooklyn Grotte. She manages millions of dollars in ad spend every month for her clients, and she makes advertising feel accessible, practical, and human. This conversation is a recording from a live training Brooklyn gave inside one of my masterminds, where she broke down exactly what is working for Meta ads right now, why so many podcasters are wasting money on the wrong types of campaigns, and how even a small budget can help you grow your audience, build your email list, and attract the right listeners. In this episode, Brooklyn shares the ad strategies she is seeing succeed in real time, the difference between awareness, engagement, and lead generation campaigns, and why founder-led content is outperforming AI-generated ads right now. Whether you are completely new to paid ads or you have been experimenting without much luck, you will walk away with a clear understanding of how to use ads strategically to grow your podcast and your business.

| Episode 78: REPLAY: The Easy Podcast Lead Magnet Strategy That's Converted at 95% | 28 juil. 2026 | 00:29:22 | |
This is one of my most downloaded episodes ever, and the strategy I teach in it is just as relevant today as when I first recorded it in March 2025. Honestly, maybe even more so. I have seen it work time and time again. In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I walk you through a framework for turning your existing podcast episodes into lead magnets that grow your email list. The concept is simple: bundle your best episodes by topic, put them behind an opt-in, get them in front of the right people, and use them to convert listeners into email subscribers and subscribers into buyers. When I originally recorded this, I was calling it the Magnet Magic Framework. I do not call it that anymore. What I teach now is the Podcast First Funnel, and it has evolved into a more refined version of everything you are about to hear. But the core strategy is the same. I have just gotten a lot sharper about how I teach it and the systems around it. Here is the thing I get asked all the time: what are the best lead magnets for getting people from my podcast to my email list? PDFs and checklists generally do not work as well as they used to. There is a very specific way to make those convert, and most podcasters are not doing it right. But this podcast first funnel strategy works like a charm, and you can use it everywhere, not just your podcast. Here's a glance to the episode:

| Episode 77: How She Grew Her Podcast Downloads 43% in 3 Months with Simple Strategies with Kellie Lupsha | 14 juil. 2026 | 00:40:11 | |
What if a few micro tweaks could grow your podcast by 43% in three months without a heavy lift? That is exactly what happened for my guest Kellie Lupsha, and in this episode she is sharing everything she did. Kellie is the host of Thriving in Midlife, a former physical therapist turned entrepreneur who helps women navigate their 40s, 50s, and beyond through health optimization and wellness. She publishes two episodes a week, runs a women's membership and an intensive 12-week program, and recently built two quiz funnels that completely changed what she knows about her audience. Kellie was one of my students in my beta mastermind, and she is one of the best implementers I have ever worked with. After making small, strategic changes to her podcast titles, descriptions, and show notes, she saw 43% growth in downloads in just three months. Then she switched to Captivate, applied everything she had learned about SEO, and matched four years of total downloads in just four months. In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, Kellie shares the exact changes she made, what surprised her most about her quiz data, how she manages two episodes per week without burning out, why her first membership failed and how it led her to build a better podcast, and her honest advice for anyone wondering whether podcasting is worth the long game commitment.

When was the last time you actually did anything with your old podcast episodes after they went live? If the answer is never, you are sitting on a goldmine and you do not even know it. In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I am walking you through five strategies to audit, optimize, and reactivate your podcast back catalog so it starts working for your business again.

Today is the strategic foundation: auditing your data, optimizing what is underperforming, and setting everything up. In Part 2, we are turning your back catalog into podcast bundles, quizzes, private podcast experiences, freebies, and more. Even if you only have 15 or 20 episodes, listen in. You are at an advantage because you can start thinking ahead about how every episode you create today will work for you months and years from now. 🔑Here's a glance to the episode: Step 1: Audit Your Back Catalog

| Episode 74: 26 Million Downloads Later: The Podcast Growth Strategy That Actually Works with Kelly Smith of Mindful in Minutes | 02 juin 2026 | 00:49:21 | |
What if the 50, 100, or 650 episodes sitting in your back catalog could be working for you right now, bringing in new listeners, growing your email list, and generating revenue without you creating a single new piece of content? That is exactly what my guest Kelly Smith has built. Kelly is the host of Mindful In Minutes (26 million downloads across nearly nine years) and Meditation Mama. She runs two podcasts, raises two kids, and works roughly 40 hours per month. And her back catalog is one of the most strategic assets in her entire business. In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, Kelly and I go deep on how she uses a quiz funnel to turn 650+ episodes into personalized playlists for every listener, how she plans her entire podcast calendar six to nine months in advance using a color-coded spreadsheet and real performance data, and the honest numbers behind podcast advertising and monetization. This is one of the nerdiest and most transparent conversations I have had on this show. Kelly gives it to you straight, and if you have been sitting on a back catalog wondering what to do with it, this episode is your answer. 🔑Here's a glance to the episode:

| Episode 73: 3 Marketing Mistakes Killing Your Podcast & Business Growth (+ What to Do Instead) with Megan Yelaney | 26 mai 2026 | 00:43:21 | |
Would you publicly share your revenue goal and let people watch you chase it? My guest Megan Yelaney did exactly that, and in this episode we are breaking down everything behind it. Megan is a business coach, messaging strategist, and the host of the Business Not As Usual podcast. She has built a million-dollar brand helping coaches become the one person their clients cannot stop thinking about. She is a former musical theater actress turned entrepreneur, a twin mom, and she is currently on a public mission to hit $200K in 90 days while working under 30 hours a week with two toddlers at home. In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, Megan shares what she calls the "authority stamp" (or 10K one-liner), how to build thought leadership content that positions you as an expert, three marketing strategies that no longer work and what to do instead, how she uses private podcasts as a launch tool, and what it actually feels like to set a public revenue goal and let people watch the messy middle unfold. This was one of the most tactical interviews I have ever done. By the end of this episode you will have things you can implement today. 🔑Here's a glance to the episode:

In this episode, I'm sharing my five biggest takeaways for female entrepreneurs who podcast, from why downloads are no longer the most important metric, to how AI is reshaping the way we create content, to why the most loyal audiences are being built around real, unfiltered podcast experiences.

| Episode 71: Why Going Viral Is Overrated (& What Actually Grows Your Business on Social Media + Beyond) with Kristina Bartold | 12 mai 2026 | 00:39:27 | |
What if going viral would actually hurt your business more than help it? My guest Kristina Bartold has worked with over 250 businesses through her social media agency, The Social Snippet. She has seen people with 75,000 followers who cannot sell a $15 product. She has also seen entrepreneurs with small, engaged communities sell out events with a single email. The difference is not audience size. It is community. In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, we dive into why chasing virality is a trap for most entrepreneurs, what actually drives revenue on social media, how she built a seven-figure agency in three years through relationships instead of followers, and the exact strategies that are working right now for promoting your podcast on Instagram, Threads, LinkedIn, and beyond. We also get into one of the most honest membership pivot stories I have heard. She had a $37 membership with 35 members that would not grow no matter what she tried. She was ready to shut it down. Instead, she pivoted the entire concept, relaunched at double the price, and now has over 100 members and growing. Her lesson: you cannot outwork a bad offer. If you have ever caught yourself wishing for a viral moment to change your business, this conversation is going to shift your perspective entirely. 🔑Here's a glance to the episode:

What if you didn’t have to rely on social media to grow your podcast, your email list, or your business? Because I know how many of you feel this right now… You’re showing up on Instagram. You’re trying to keep up with the algorithm. You’re posting consistently. And it still feels like a lot of effort for very little return. In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m sitting down with Tracy Beavers to talk about a different way to grow — one that feels more sustainable, more aligned, and honestly… a lot more doable. We’re breaking down how podcasting and email marketing work together to create real momentum in your business — without needing to constantly show up on social media or chase visibility. Because here’s the truth: Your email list is one of the most valuable assets in your business. And your podcast is one of the best ways to grow it.

| Episode 64: Podcast to Email List: Why Listeners Aren’t Converting into Subscribers (And the Exact Shifts That Work) | 24 mars 2026 | 00:18:57 | |
Your podcast listeners love you. They DM you about episodes. They reference things you said months ago. They binge your show and tell you how helpful it is. But your email list feels completely dead. Sound familiar? In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m breaking down a pattern I’m seeing with so many podcasters right now: loyal listeners… but quiet email lists. And the truth is — your podcast probably isn’t the problem. Podcasting builds passive trust. People listen while driving, walking, cooking, or folding laundry. They feel connected to you and your voice. But email requires a different kind of commitment. Someone has to stop what they’re doing, click a link, enter their email, confirm it, and then continue opening your messages. That shift from listener → subscriber is bigger than most podcasters realize. The good news? Once you understand what’s actually happening, it’s very fixable. In this episode, I’m sharing the exact shifts that help turn podcast listeners into engaged email subscribers and buyers — without needing a massive audience. Because your podcast and your email list shouldn’t be separate ecosystems. They should work together. In This Episode

If your podcast audience is loyal but your email list feels quiet, you don’t need to start over. You simply need better bridges between your podcast and your email list.

| Episode 63: Why Most Marketing Isn’t Working Anymore (and What to Focus on Instead) with Alice Zarka | 17 mars 2026 | 00:37:53 | |
If your launches aren’t converting the way you hoped, the issue might not be your strategy. It might be your transformation messaging. In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m joined by marketing strategist Alice Zarka to talk about what’s really happening in the online marketing industry right now and why so many launches, digital courses, and coaching offers struggle to stand out in a crowded market. Alice has worked behind the scenes with some of the biggest creators in the online education space, helping scale digital courses, masterminds, and coaching programs to seven figures and beyond. In this conversation, she shares what she’s seeing across the industry right now including shifts in launch strategy, changes in lead generation, and the biggest messaging mistakes entrepreneurs and course creators are making when selling their offers. One of the most powerful insights from this conversation is simple but often overlooked. Most entrepreneurs are selling features, bonuses, and deliverables. But what actually converts is the transformation. We talk about why differentiation matters more than ever in today’s digital marketing landscape, how to create stronger product-market fit before scaling, and why many online launches underperform even when the strategy seems solid on paper. We also dive into how podcasts can support launch strategy and audience growth. From building trust with listeners to generating qualified leads and expanding your reach through collaborations, podcasting can play a powerful role in a modern marketing ecosystem.

| Episode 62: Organic Discoverability As A Podcaster + Sustainable Production: Sneak Peek from the Podcast Glow Up Party | 10 mars 2026 | 00:43:34 | |
Your podcast shouldn’t feel like a weekly scramble. But for many podcasters, it does. If you’ve ever recorded an episode the same day it was supposed to go live, struggled to stay consistent with your show, or felt like your podcast is always sitting on the back burner — you’re not alone. In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m sharing a replay from Day 2 of the Podcast Glow-Up Party, where we talked about something that quietly causes more podcasters to quit than almost anything else: a chaotic production workflow. Because podcast growth isn’t just about marketing, SEO, or finding the right topics. It’s also about building a production flow that supports your life and your business instead of creating stress and burnout. When podcast production becomes reactive and last-minute, the pressure builds quickly. What starts as a creative project can start to feel like another obligation on your to-do list. This episode is about changing that. Inside this replay, I walk through how to simplify your podcast planning, organize your episode pipeline, and create a system that keeps your show running smoothly — even when life gets busy. Because the truth is: when you treat your podcast like a product, everything changes. You move from scrambling to publish episodes… to running a repeatable system that supports long-term growth. In this episode, you’ll learn:

We also talk about the current state of the podcast industry — including why podcasting continues to grow rapidly even as more creators experiment with video platforms. Here’s a statistic that surprises a lot of people: Even though millions of blogs and YouTube channels are updated every month, only about 400,000 podcasts have released an episode in the last 90 days. That means podcasting is still one of the least saturated long-form content platforms available for entrepreneurs and creators. If you’ve been wondering whether podcasting is still worth it in 2026, this episode will give you a very clear answer. This episode is for:

| Episode 61: YouTube for Podcasters: Why Just Uploading Your Podcast Isn’t a Growth Strategy with Auret Esselen | 03 mars 2026 | 00:48:34 | |
What if YouTube didn’t mean more work… but smarter distribution of what you’re already creating? In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m sitting down with YouTube strategist Auret Esselen to talk about how podcasters can actually use YouTube as a growth asset — not just a place to “dump” video versions of their episodes and hope for the best. Because here’s the truth: Uploading your podcast to YouTube without a strategy rarely works. But with the right titles, packaging, and intent, YouTube can become one of the strongest discovery platforms for your podcast, email list, and offers. This conversation is for podcasters who want visibility, authority, and growth — without turning into full-time video creators. We’re breaking down what actually matters on YouTube for podcasters, how to think about SEO and search-based growth, and how to turn your channel into an intentional extension of your podcast-first marketing strategy. In this episode, we cover:

| Episode 60: Audience-Led Podcast Content: How to Find Podcast Topics That Drive Downloads and Engagement | 24 févr. 2026 | 00:19:22 | |
You don’t need more podcast ideas. You need better signals. If you’ve ever sat down to plan episodes and thought, “I know I have good ideas… why isn’t this translating into growth?” — this episode is for you. In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m breaking down how to choose podcast episode topics your audience is already searching for, asking about, and ready to engage with. Because the truth is, most podcasters don’t stall out because of consistency or effort — they stall because their topics aren’t audience-led. This episode is about shifting from guessing to listening. Podcast platforms are search engines now. AI is influencing discovery. And the shows that grow in 2026 and beyond are the ones that reflect their audience’s real language, real questions, and real pain points — not just what sounds good on a content calendar. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been podcasting for years, this episode will help you create content that performs better in search, resonates more deeply, and actually supports your business.

If you’ve been podcasting for more than a few months, chances are you’re sitting on a back catalog of episodes that aren’t doing much for you anymore. And that’s not because the content isn’t good. In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m breaking one of the biggest podcasting myths: that once an episode is published, its job is done. The truth? Your old podcast episodes can be some of the most powerful assets in your business — especially when it comes to podcast SEO, organic discoverability, email list growth, and long-term audience building. I’m walking you through 9 smart, practical ways to repurpose old podcast episodes so they keep working for you long after you hit publish — without recording more content or burning yourself out. This isn’t about reposting clips just to stay visible. It’s about being intentional with your back catalog and turning past episodes into real growth drivers. In this episode, we cover:

What does podcast growth actually look like in 2026 — especially for women and mom podcasters who want sustainable growth, real connection, and a business that fits their life? In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m joined by Cait Howard and Amanda Benavides, the women behind Podcasting Moms Club and the Mom Friends Media Collective. Together, we’re unpacking what’s changing in podcasting, what’s finally working for women creators, and why community-driven growth is becoming the most powerful strategy moving forward. This conversation is for women building podcasts in real life — between school drop-offs, nap schedules, client work, and everything else. We talk honestly about growing a podcast without hustle culture, why relationships matter more than algorithms, and how mom podcasters are shaping the future of the podcast industry. We also dive into how aligned collaborations lead to stronger visibility, better monetization, and more meaningful opportunities — without cold pitching or chasing downloads.

| Episode 57: The Customer Journey Method My Clients Rave About For Boosting Sales | 03 févr. 2026 | 00:19:28 | |
In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m breaking down a concept that quietly changes everything about your messaging, content, and conversions: customer buckets. Most entrepreneurs are taught to define a single ideal customer avatar. And while that can be helpful early on, it often becomes the reason your podcast content starts to feel muddy, repetitive, or disconnected from actual results. Because the truth is: your audience isn’t all starting from the same place—even if they want the same outcome. When you try to speak to everyone the same way, your content gets vague… and your calls-to-action stop working. In this episode, I walk you through how to identify the different stages your listeners are in, how to tailor your podcast content to meet them where they are, and how to guide them forward—without creating more content or more offers.

| Episode 56: Podcast Not Growing? 5 Ways You're Sabotaging Podcast Growth | 27 janv. 2026 | 00:31:48 | |
If your podcast feels stalled—or like it’s not really helping your business—this episode is for you. In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m breaking down five common (and often overlooked) ways podcasters unintentionally sabotage their own growth, even when they’re publishing consistently and creating genuinely good content. After nearly a decade working in podcast growth and marketing, I’ve seen the same issues come up again and again. And here’s the truth most podcasters don’t want to hear: growth usually isn’t blocked by effort—it’s blocked by strategy. As we head into 2026, podcasting looks very different than it did even a year ago. Podcast platforms function like search engines. SEO matters. AI is shaping discovery. And podcasters who rely only on social media or word-of-mouth are hitting growth plateaus fast. This episode is about making smart, sustainable shifts so your podcast can: – get discovered through search – attract the right listeners – grow your email list – support your offers and revenue – and feel lighter to manage, not heavier In this episode, you’ll learn:

And you’re quietly wondering: Is this podcast still worth it? In this episode of Podcast Growth Tools, I’m diving into one of the hardest — and most honest — questions podcasters face: when should you keep going, and when is it actually okay to walk away? This isn’t a “never quit” pep talk. And it’s not about pushing through burnout at all costs. It’s about clarity, alignment, and understanding what your podcast is really doing for your business. I break down how to evaluate your podcast beyond downloads, what signals matter most, and how to tell the difference between a show that needs a strategic shift versus one that no longer fits your season of life or business.

As we head into 2026, podcasting is evolving fast. Searchability matters more than ever. SEO-driven titles and descriptions play a huge role in discoverability.
