Endings Make Space for New Beginnings04 May 202300:09:54

This episode is my little love note to you ... to say THANK YOU for listening for all these years. The time has come to stop creating this podcast. It is complete. 

Death is rebirth. It opens space for new to come in.  It is the beginning of more beautiful things coming.

As we say in knitting, it's time to "binding off" and end the scarf,  and welcome in the possibility to "cast on" something new.

This episode is also an invitation to hang out here, and dive into the back catalog of episodes because you have a wealth of information, and to also stay in the loop with me on www.karagottwarner.com because I have some goodies cooking over there or you.

And I'll leave you with my favorite poem:

He who binds to himself a joy
does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise.

- William Blake

Cheers to you and your podcasting success, my friend! 🥂

229 Breaking the Perfection Barrier: The Benefits of Messy Massive Action in Podcasting27 Apr 202300:14:16

In this wild, wild west of podcasting, there's a common belief that perfection and polish are necessary for success. However, what if the key to longevity and authentic connections lies in embracing our imperfections and taking messy action?

In this "AirPods Episode," we're shaking things up with messy massive action and why I think taking imperfect action creates security and longevity for your podcast, and it leads to increased enjoyment and freedom every time you get behind the mic.

What you'll learn in this episode: 

  • Why your listeners really want to see are the rough around the edges
  • How authenticity creates deeper trust and connection 
  • Taking messy action creates podcast security
  • Getting out of your own way means you care more about your message than the fear of not looking good enough

Mentioned in this episode: 

  • The Daily Boost 

By taking messy action and allowing imperfection on purpose, can foster more joy, which creates freedom in how you podcast, because you're doing it on YOUR terms. This doesn't mean that every episode needs to be sloppy, or messy, but rather it's about embracing how many moments in life are not black and white, and by taking messy massive action, you can use this as a tool that makes you feel like you can walk through a few puddles instead of slushing through the mud of sticking to a strict schedule that doesn't fit your life.

224 The Play of Podcasting: How to Stay Excited and Create Longevity23 Mar 202300:13:55

It's time to let go of the podcasting rules ... because they don't exist! In this episode, I get real on the so-called rules so you can have fun with podcasting as an "art form," filled with play.

When you let go of the made up rules that tell you perfect audio quality and downloads equal success, that's when you create real authenticity and show up week after week because you freakin' LOVE what you do as a podcaster.   

I also discuss the confusion about productivity and how embracing the playful side of podcasting is really the productivity you need, because it leads to more engagement and meaningful connections with your audience, because your listeners feel your energy and vibe.

What you'll learn:

  • Why it's important to focus on the joy of the process instead of obsessing over perfect audio quality, downloads, or strict rules
  • Spontaneity and structure: balance these two aspects in both podcasting and life for a more engaging and enjoyable experience
  • Rethinking productivity: Recognize that productivity is not just about time spent behind a desk, but also includes moments of creativity and inspiration

When you let go of rigid rules and enjoy the play of podcasting, your listeners will feel the energy too, and then you'll approach podcasting with a sense of childlike wonder and excitement, resulting in better audience engagement and more meaningful connections with your peeps. :)

212 Tame Your Podfade Brain29 Dec 202200:14:29

I often see many new podcasters getting out of their lane looking at what the big podcasters are doing, wanting those same results, and wondering why they're not getting them. And they get caught up in the numbers instead of focusing on the most important metric -- humans and touching and transforming lives with their words.

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE TRANSCRIPT FOR THIS EPISODE 

 What you'll learn in this episode: 

  • Why most podcasts end after only a few months
  • The problem with being attached to a timeline 
  • Deciding in advance to play the long game with your podcast
  • The Fool in Tarot that is in it for the process, not the outcome

Here's the paradox ... when you forget the outcome and focus only on the process, that's when the door to receiving actually opens because you've discovered that this special medium is here to help amplify your message and have that impact on the people who need it most.

This is what my clients experience when they work with me in my Ready, Set, Launch program, because all the steps are laid out in a very systematic way that gets you to launch your podcast in the shortest period of time possible.

211 Radical Reinvention20 Dec 202200:16:56

My life has been nothing short of incredible over the past 6 months. I made the decision to stop looking outside myself, to stay in my lane and doing some really scary things … that actually turned out to not be so scary after all.

Today's episode is one that I’m sharing so I can explain what I did so you might pull a few bits of inspiration out of this for yourself … to step into your own sovereign self to see you’re stronger and more resilient that you think.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • How I tore it all down and completely started my business over this summer
  • How I made space for what was wanting to come in
  • When I stripped every bare, I realized I had everything already
  • Finding refuge in the absence of the illusion of what I thought was safe 

learn what I did during my "summer of reinvention" and how it was a little quirky and unconventional, and how I created “home away from home” at a local campground. 

I spent my days in our family RV. which became my haven, my refuge. A place to explore, be curious and begin the reinvention process. 

And asked the big question: Who is that I’m called to serve?

As you'll learn, when I flipped the switch to make my transition, what I know for sure is that when you hit on what's right for you, the Universe has one big happy dance.

I have a lot of exciting things to share coming in the coming weeks and months, including, a relaunch of this podcast, so that means, there will be a podcast-a-palooza party. I promise more deets on this soon.

210 Creating Habits One Step at a Time with Tammie Bennett06 Jul 202200:22:44

Today I'm chatting with Tammie Carpenter Bennett, mindset coach and Host of The Show Up Society Podcast. Tammie shares her years of wisdom from owning  a stationery business and coaching runners for over 13 years to remove the blocks that are keeping them stuck so they can achieve their goals with confidence.  

Tammie is all about habits … she walks the walk by keeping one tiny, daily habit going strong for over 10 years. And she teaches others how to create and keep a tiny daily habit to reach their own goals, so they can stop procrastinating, and make quick decisions  so they can get back to creating!

Episode highlights: 

  • How podcasting helps Tammie to create an even bigger impact 
  • Why she believes podcasting stands apart from other digital platforms
  • The secret sauce that keeps her going
  • What she does to spice things up if the podcast starts to feel stale 
  • How she uses a podcast to educate her clients

We close with the question I ask all of my quests: "If you could state in ONE word how you podcast with purpose, what would that word be?"  Listen to find out!

209 How to REALLY be a Podcaster with PURPOSE — and it’s RIDICULOUSLY ez AF28 Jun 202200:16:37

Something emanated overnight which is now the material manifestation of today’s podcast episode.  I literally had to run from the bed to the mic to capture what you’re about to hear … and it all just flowed from the divine. 

It’s about a new workshop - and seriously it's the BEST shit that's come out of me to date. It's what you need, what you want, and it's the reason you are a podcaster, and it's how you create something divine in this world that someone can consume, and walk away from as a different person. 

This is not a huge giant thing I'm talking about. It's attainable and ez AF, and I want this for you if you’re on the sidelines right now.

Let's create a podcast that the world needs and is waiting for. If you’re sick and tired of hanging out in the shadows, this is your TIME because THIS is what you signed up for: 

  • You are a coach
  • You are someone who is a guide, a steward, a benefactor

I signed up for this over 8 years ago, and I had no idea it would take me to this place today — teaching you about how to podcast with purpose. 

To feed your baby birds. To turn words into wealth. 

The kind of wealth I'm talking about is the kind that always has starts inside, and then and only then can it become it's equivalent of material wealth in the outer world.

YOU get to feel that and be in the abundance starting right now. 

It's just about sliding the door. Making a 1% tweak in your thinking. There’s no waiting, or wishing. 

As I record this, tomorrow I'm hosting a free Podcast in ONE Day live workshop. 

I'm commited to getting as many coaches behnid the mic as possible — now more than ever. 

Women's voices need to be heard. We need to rise together. 

We need to be those lighthouses, those beacons. 

There's a reason I'm a Projector according to Human Design. Makes sense to me that podcasting is my jam. I can't keep my mouth shut, and if for whatever reason if I do keep my mouth shut when I need to be heard - is squashes my spirit. 

I'm here to be that lighthouse so you can shine your light too. 

This class is going to open up with us hanging out Brady Bunch-style in a Zoom room. I want you to turn on your video, say hi, share a burning question. Be present and ready to make this transformational journey, because it's going to happen fast. 

It's going to be something you have to get of your own way for, because it's an easy process that you''ll start implemnting as soon as we are done.

It’s not about watching the class, doing a little research, and planning for later, NOPE. You are ready to do the work.

It will be me showing you how to use the simplest of tools that you presently have which is how I started - a phone and your mouth. 

I'm going to show you how I used just these 2 things to create an amazing experience for my listeners, and within a month a best-selling author reached out to ask to be a guest on my show — show's you don't need bells or whistles, or intros or outros.

So it's these 2 things + the teeny, tiniest productio

208 The BEST Way to Chill Out and GROW22 Jun 202200:21:42

Lot's of people want the HOW TO podcast stuff, and that's super-simple, because I can teach you that in 20 minutes. The collection of things- the mic, the software, the show notes pages. What actually matters is your compelling reason for wanting to do it. That's when it gets to be fun ... when you relax. Take a chill pill. That's when you see things grow.

The podcast is a vehicle where ideas can be shared in an intimate way and communicate in a way that build trust, share your gift of gab and influence those you want to reach, who need your message.

So the podcast is just that. The vehicle.

When you water the garden, your plants grow, but those plants take time. Your podcast is the same. Rushing doesn't EVER work, and never produces what you truly desire. Pushing and wanting and wishing only creates more agony, and stifles growth.

It's like you sending out a vibe to the universe that says ... "I'm tight, I'm closed, so ... no thanks, I don't want abundance over here. Just keep giving me the measly scraps."

Why I do this podcasting thing ... to inspire you to BE your purpose, build legacy, keep going when it feels chore-like, AND say bye-bye to your podfade brain that wants to stop.

When you embrace the true chillax, something MAGICAL happens ... you make it fun, you let go of expectation, you just focus on the art and alchemy of the spoken word. 

  • Would you podcast no matter what? 
  • Would you do it if it had nothing to do with your business, or a desire to build a platform to attract listeners and clients? 
  • Would you do it for the love of giving, sharing, impacting? 

If you answered YES, you're on the right track. That's the secret sauce to keeping it going.

That's what I help my clients develop and cultivate. That's the stuff I believe is the essence of podcasting. It's not getting the checklist. It's not the collection of equipment or tech. It's a higher-level consciousness thing.

That's how to chill out and grow. Then your peeps flock to you like cray.

I know you want to focus on feeding your baby birds, sharing the juicy messages, creating the legacy, excitement, and creating a real asset in your business ... a content foundation that you own. That's exactly what a podcast provides, unlike social media. Put out a post ... it hangs out in the feed for a bit, but a podcast lives on, and you own it.

Click here and let’s make your podcasting dream a reality.

207 If you want to grow do these 3 things13 Jun 202200:10:45

Let’s cut right to the chase …

You want to create a podcast that will grow. These are the 3 things you must do:

  1.  Be a guest on other podcasts
  2.  Have guests on your podcast
  3.  Be the one who COMMITS

Sounds simple, right? But I find that many are unwilling to be the person who does these and then they wonder why they don’t grow. 

If you are willing to be committed AF, listeners will flock to you crazy AF.

And #3 is the rocket fuel that will carry you because just this ONE thing will help you grow because you’re here for the long game NO MATTER how long it takes. 

That’s what it means to be the uncommon person who commits and creates creates PREDICTABILITY in their business.

If you took these 3 things to heart and became that uncommon person, that you know you already are, how would that change how you show up as a Podcaster?

You already know that just a 1% tweak is all you need to be that person who goes all-in … who burns the boats because they are headed to the other shore. 

So here’s your choice:

Option 1: Be the one who sits on the sidelines who does not decide to commit, and finds excuses to stop. 

OR …

Option 2: Be the one who is dialed and ready because the desire to commit is BIGGER than your reasons to give up.

Get out of your own way, step into your potential and create alchemy with your words.

205 How to REALLY Connect with Your Humans31 May 202200:13:58

What is the goal for living this precious human life?

In my opinion, it distills down to 3 things:

Connection, giving and service.

This is the most important conversation because life is like a flash of lightning even if we live over 100 years. Human life is quick.

Why did you decide to become a coach, start an online business, and consider the idea of starting a podcast?

When your desire to connect and create RELATIONSHIPS is GREATER than your fear of looking silly, clunky or messy ... then you found the secret sauce to podcasting. 

When you connect from a place that makes you come alive, it makes everything else electric. 

The lines between life and business become blurred, and that's the gift that this powerful medium of connection can create for you.

Are you ready to create some electricity?

203 How to Easily Stay Consistent No Matter What18 May 202200:10:17

If you’re making it hard to stay consistent, then today’s episode is for you! I’m teaching you in this short and sweet minisode how to get a little scrappy, practice integration, while staying consistent to your commitment to podcasting.

This episode is for you if …

  • You keep pushing yourself to batch a bunch of episodes, but you keep letting yourself down, then the shame kicks in
  • You can’t finish what you say you’ll do
  • Podcasting feels hard and like a chore

This episode is an example of how I get scrappy - I was falling behind this week, and when this happens I ask myself a simple series of questions:

  1. What’s happening right now? Is this something I can share to make an impact even if it seems mundane and silly?
  2. How can I make this ridiculously easy and doable?
  3. What can I do to get scrappy, practice integration with things in my daily life (ie: gardening, shuffling the kids to baseball practice, and recording your podcast … heck, I’ve recorded a quickie episode in the car while my son was practicing. Ya do what ya gotta do!)

Stop getting in your own way and sabotaging yourself. Make it easy by allowing it to be fun, scrappy and unconventional. I promise you’ll love podcasting even more.

Our best work often happens when we are not sitting behind a desk. It happens during those times where we are open to receiving because we are relaxed — walking, driving, gardening, or sitting out on the deck on a gorgeous spring day.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
-Theodore Roosevelt

202 Define Your Easy Button11 May 202200:32:23

 What's EASY IS working hard on your dream AND resting so you can allow space for the universe to bring in the abundance that's waiting.

It’s a YES/AND situation. Yes, I can do what's easy AND I can work as hard AF on your dream too. 

WHERE is it written that business ... that if you do A you get B? What if you do A your way ... then B finds it's way to you in the way that fits your own unique life, and NOT in the way you expect?

Where can you find the middle path? Meaning, how can you take in advice with a grain of salt, then OWN your wisdom. How can you cultivate not knowing and be TOTALLY OK with it? 

AND ... be ecstatic about the truth that you have a live-in advisor that is so freaking wise — YOU.

No one can know what's right for you but you and until you embrace this truth you will constantly seek external validation which never gives you the results you actually want.

200 It’s Not all In Your Head: Why You Might be Lacking Motivation20 Apr 202200:43:22

I hated the word "mid-life woman" I would secretly think I'm not like them ... I've never had problems hot flashes, weight gain ... I mean geez ... I beat obesity when I was a teenager. My lifestyle is simply impeccable, but … I had a wake up call that I want to share with you in this episode. 

Since B.C. (Before COVID) I’ve been in denial ... of my exhaustion, racing mind in the middle of the night ... sleep deprivation ... lack of constant physical energy that has been present over the past few years. 

I blamed it on building my business. “This is normal,” I would tell myself.  “I’m doing something uncommon … it’s what I signed up for, right?” 

I knew something was off. It started with brain fog ... feeling isolated, tiredness, exhaustion. I was blaming it on hustle, busy syndrome, and telling myself it’s all in my head ... and I just had to work more on my beliefs. “Stay positive … you got this!” was my mantra. 

It’s like … wondering why the sink is overflowing, but I didn’t realize I needed to turn off the faucet! 

Thoughts are not the only part of the puzzle of our complex humanity.

When starting a podcast, or going after a big goal, we think it's all about our thoughts, and we just have to believe an intentional one to succeed, but that’s short-sighted.

When our physiology is off our brain is off.
-Dr. Mindy Pelz 

And if you are pre-menopausal or post-meno woman like me, this is like the elephant in the room. You may not even see that your brain has been hijacked by your hormones.

It's NOT JUST IN YOUR HEAD. 

As you’ll hear in this episode, I’m on a mission to call every woman that feels that something is “off,” to STOP the shame game.

Thoughts are only part of the equation.

197 Structured Spontaneity30 Mar 202200:14:33

Spontaneity can be your biggest podcasting ally. Strategy is amazing ... but without spontaneity you could easily find yourself hustling, and stuck in a box.

Without spontaneity you squash creativity and the unknown and the unknown is where the wonder is. 

Spontaneity creates freedom, allowing the breakthroughs to inspire you to jump behind that mic and share.

When you have the moment when the creativity is swirling in the ether, harness it, bottle it up ... that's the magic.

Don't box yourself in and say: "maybe later, 'cause it's not the time for that ... I gotta do that IG post."

Don't miss out on the magnificence of the moment, and the fleeting gift that spontaneity is giving you.

You write the rules of your podcast and your business. 

Podcasting is still the Wild West and you're the creator of it.

Change lives with your words.

Don't keep them inside when they are asking to come out.

196 The Many Gifts of Podcasting23 Mar 202200:31:25

It’s fun to have structure, but it’s also fun to be spontaneous and capture the creativity in the ether, which is exactly what this  outdoor, rustic episode with chirping birdies in the background episode is all about. 

I’m always going encourage you to take risks and allow spontaneity to arise …  to be off-the-cuff and go fast and loose. Just turn on the mic and go!

What’s the worst that could happen? You stumble a little, you mess up your words.

What’s the best that can happen? You lean more into your human-ness.

195 Fearless Podcasting: Lessons from Oprah, a Buddhist Scholar and a Karmarang16 Mar 202200:19:26

Oprah once said “I will no longer be on TV but I will use it as a force for good and not be used by TV. When Oprah made this shift, it changed everything. How can you take this wisdom and apply it to your podcast? In this episode, learn 3 ways how.

One day, not too long ago, I had a big ugly cry, and looking back now, I can't even remember why I was upset. 

It's so interesting to see how emotions can carry us away, and then dissipate and fly away once they wash through us.  The gift that came out of this big ugly cry were rough notes, which are the basis of this episode. 

The question Oprah asks herself when disappointment or confusion strikes is: “what is this here to teach me?" 

Asking this question can be so revealing, because we often discover it's not the "stuff" ... not the static circumstance outside. It's way more subtle actually.  

Most of our problems circle back to trying to show us how to practice more patience, more love, more giving, more compassion. 

Solving inner obstacles always solves outer obstacles.

Here are 3 things Oprah says “will carry us if we let them”

1. Knowing who you really are 

2. You must find a way to serve 

3. Always do the right thing - be excellent so you become UNFORGETTABLE

Be the change you want to see. Do what makes you come alive and meander down the path that pulls you to what you really love.

194 What your listeners REALLY want09 Mar 202200:16:24

Here's what you're listeners don't want …

They don’t want the music.

They don’t care about the fancy 30-sec elevator pitch (they will press the fast forward anyway).

They will never know what kind of microphone you are using so pick one you like.

They don’t wanna know all about your story and your history and all the accolades that you’ve had.

Those things are nice and they are good to share but think about your client and where they are right now.

They  just wanna know - can you help me with my problem?

Yes, do the music, the intro ... all of it, but not at the expense of forgetting what a podcast is really about.

Podcasting has given me a successful coaching business where I get to pay forward all of this wisdom, and of course you can have the same.

If you were a clairvoyant, and told me back in 2014 that a podcast would give me the success I have today, I’d never believed it.

When you detach from the outcome and you no longer NEED it. That’s when you start going somewhere. This shift  can change your entire perspective.

How can you find safety in detaching from the outcome? How can you podcast for the love of it, expecting zero in return in the way of downloads, listeners, clients, etc.?

How can you hold the intention for your goal, but in a playful way ... like it’s your number one job.

193 Tap in to the FUN Frequency of Podcasting02 Mar 202200:18:02

Podcasting's job is not to make you money or get you clients.  You might be thinking ... "Since I did not make money yet what's the point of recording if it seems like no one is listening?" Sure, it’s fun but let's get real ... it's not making me money. Why bother?" There's the obstacle thought - Why bother? Which becomes ... "I won't bother."

When you say "I want ... I want ... I want," the universe hears this: "I don't have ... I don't have," so what that means is, you get more not having. 

This is the kiss of death. 

This is why the statistics for new podcasts show that most give up within the first few months.

You can be that uncommon one by changing what you think podcasting success actually means.

The actual point of podcasting - fun, experimenting, taking creative risks, and building a body of work.

If your idea about podcasting is: "this is a marketing tool," you are missing the point entirely. It's like wanting the chicken before the egg.

A podcast has the potential to become your ULTIMATE marketing tool, as it has for me ... but only because you create it with fun, passion, excitement and the willingness to always try new things. 

The first step  ... do you like podcasting? Have you tried to act "as if" and record something?

Does running to the microphone excite the hell out of you, like it's Christmas morning? That's the vibe I'm talking about here.

You have to believe that every time you are speaking into your microphone it's like sending magical radio waves out to the universe.

Your only job is to get behind the mic, and keep having fun, because NOTHING is linear.

One post ... one episode, does not entitle you to the reward of a consult or a new client.

It's about sowing the seeds, and believing exactly what you need will bounce back, then kiss it and let it go.

192 Big Hairy Scary Goals to Create the BEST Results with Your Podcast23 Feb 202200:23:35

It’s so easy to fall into the place of comfort and complacency with the way we show up in our business and podcast. Sometimes we can’t even see that because the desire to do what’s easy is always running in the background.

To zap out of this funk, here’s a great question to ask: “what's my barfy-excited-scares-the-bejesus-out-of-me goal this week?”   

Little word of caution ... this does not mean go into the spin cycle by filling a sheet with 50 things to keep you busy.

I've done this myself - sitting all day behind a computer thinking working harder will give me what I want.

This is so FAR from the truth.

If all you do is sit behind a computer mapping out a strategy, that’s not scary. That's just creating more work on your to do list and stress. 

Here are some examples of what I've done over the years that got me out of my comfort zone:

  • Asking to be a guest on very big, very popular and very visible podcasts
  • Request to be a keynote speaker in my niche
  • Pitching to do an in-person how to podcast course at a trade event. 
  • Asking celebs to be guests on my podcast (Yes, Deborah Norville of Inside Edition was on my show!)

All you need to do is ASK. Then kiss it good bye and let the universe do the rest.
You already know it's crazy, and you're like: “haha if pigs could fly, maybe Oprah will write me back.”

But get ready ... because you might get that email, or DM and be asked to talk on someone's stage like it happened for me.

The more you take yourself to your edge, the more fulfillment and accomplishment you’ll experience.

Landing that podcast guest or keynote speaker gig isn’t actually the goal. The goal is the growth … the stretch out of your nest of safety.

Now get out from behind the bushes. You have work to do mama bird.

190 So you wanna be a podcaster?25 Jan 202200:14:15

Hey I want to share this quick minisode with you to let you know about something revolutionary. Let's just say, it's my way of bypassing the necessity of scheduling a consult, and I bring it directly to YOU!

So here's a little more about this concept ... Last month, I shared a peek inside my Confident Podcaster coaching program with a "live sales consult" Zoom call, and it was a BLAST! So ... I thought, "heck, why not do it again?!"

Think of it like this -  it’s like you’re coming to an open house. Have some wine and cheese, have fun. Totally chill. 

So I bring the consult to you ... and YOU get a peek "under the hood" to see what it's like to work with me as your 1:1 podcast coach. No strings attached, and you get a deep, inside look behind the curtain. Sounds cool, right?

I'll also be teaching you my 3-step Roadmap process, so you can walk away with what it looks like to build, launch and grow a podcast from the ground up. 

No matter what you decide ... at the end of the session, you'll walk away understanding what it means to implement a doable process for launching your podcast. 

I'll be doing this training Wednesday, 1/26 at 10am PT/12pm CT/1pm ET, and if this time doesn't work for you, I'll be sharing a replay after I'm done, but I suggest you join me live for these 3 reasons:

1.) You get to ask me your biggest podcasting questions face-to-face.

2.) I'll be sharing limited-time bonuses if you should decide to work with me as your coach.

3.) I only open a few spots each month for my 1:1 program, so when they are taken, enrollment closes.

I work 1:1 with my clients, and I intentionally take on only a few at a time so I can deliver the most exceptional, supportive and comprehensive experience for each of my clients.

To register go to karagottwarner.com/openhouse

(After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.)

See you Wednesday, 1/26 at 10am PT/12pm CT/1pm ET!

188 Melanie Childers on Finding the FUN & Flow in Podcasting14 Jan 202200:32:09

Melanie Childers, Master Coach and the creator of the Bad Bitch Mastermind, made it her mission to help ambitious women to bring their “patriarchy-smashing projects to life.”

In this episode, Melanie shares the insights she discovered from having worked with me as her podcast coach, and how this support helped her overcome the obstacles holding her back.

"I used other people's podcasts against myself and I think it had to be a perfect or a particular way ... it gets to truly look like whatever I want it to look like. Having Kara on my team has really helped me see that."

-Melanie Childers


By making some simple shifts, Melanie learned to fuel her podcast with fun, spontaneity and a dash of quirkiness. She also learned how to tap into the tools to help her grow, and discovered that being herself is the secret sauce for podcasting longevity.

More insights from Melanie:

“Don't wait to start your podcast ... Kara's innate ability to help you streamline all of your thoughts that will lay the foundation for a lifelong body of work is so valuable."

"And if you're in that place where you're like ... OK, I got that, but it's not fun anymore. This is the juice that keeps the ideas flowing ... It's the best thing for the longevity of my podcast because I found the fun again and I get to create it the way I want, and Kara does that so beautifully to help you take off all the shackles of the shoulds."

186 The Art of Taking Time Off from Your Podcast27 Dec 202100:17:34

With the new year fast-approaching, we're thinking about resets, resolutions, digital detoxes, and finally making this the year the best one ever, but what about taking time away? REAL time to do nothing  and to do it with total intention. 

Taking a break can be one of the hardest things we can do, especially with our podcast, because we think we always have to be ON ... but one missed week is nothing 'cause you're here to build a legacy, right? 

In order to bring in more we need to make space ... empty the plate. 

Doing this takes courage, and willingness, but it can be the best gift you could give yourself this holiday season ... the gift that keeps giving, adding color and contrast to your life. 

AND ... when you do this you build self-trust. You know nothing falls apart. 

You'll take a reset, and you'll be excited to come back with fresh eyes and excitement to press record. This is the solution to sustainability if you want success with your podcast, your business, and your full humanity.

Why do you need to be on all the time ... or appear that way in your online biz? What purpose does this serve?  Will you will lose something if you do?

Taking time off is actually where service starts. How can you serve others if you are not taking time to reflect, to see how things went this past year, these past few months? 

Sometimes weeding a garden or cleaning a cupboard is the work we must do.

How can we welcome in more if the garden is overgrown and the cupboards look like a scene out of Hoarders? (Hey … speaking from my own experience!)

Remember what Mr. Miagi said to Daniel in The Karate Kid when he was anxious to learn a new move?  Mr M.  said,  “Wax on wax off.”

The wisest teachers don't say much, and they repeat the simplest thing again and again so hopefully it finally hits our heart and we experience what we need. 

Give yourself grace ... love and time off if you need it and put the "shoulds" on a shelf.

By the way … I have a special community for you. It's totally free, and and it's about ALL things podcasting. I go even deeper on what is shared here on the podcast, and you also get to watch live video trainings with me! Coming soon I'll be hosting a free podcasting masterclass inside the group to help you start your podcast in just 3 simple steps.

185 Embrace Your Inner Peacock08 Dec 202100:31:58

In this episode, I'm continuing on with this theme of perfectionism, and how you can zap out of this by connecting to your inner peacock, and allow your colorful feathers to unfurl.

You'll learn how to diffuse the things that hold you back, and finally get out from your own way to reach your baby birds through the power of your podcast.

You're here for something bigger beyond the podcast. The podcast is the vehicle. Your words are the ALCHEMY. 

The podcasting equipment, the tools, the sound quality, that’s the easy part. That part is just the action we take when we have a compelling reason that drives us.

This I is what I’m talking about …  check out this  private message a client recently sent me:  "I just can't contain my excitement ... I have to get this podcast out to the world!"

That’s the kind of HELL YEAH energy you gotta have.

I used to play it safe because I feared criticism, or that somehow I wasn't playing by the rules about what I should or shouldn't share about myself, my vision as a coach and as a creative force in the world.

I shared these limiting thoughts once with one of my coach friends and she replied ...You know Kara, you are a peacock, so what's the worst that could happen if you unfurl your feathers?"  

When you embrace your inner peacock it reminds you of who you are. You get to see yourself in full Technicolor … Flaws and all.  

How can you remind yourself how magnificent you are and really truly feel this in your skin? 

Is there something running in the background of your brain that is habitual? This might not show up right away or seem obvious, but keep searching for that hidden obstacle that keeps you stuck in the cage of perfectionism.

Now go out there and unfurl your feathers and fly your freak flag!

Don’t x-out yet … I got something special for ya … Let’s fuel your podcast with FUN and ease by checking out my free masterclass where I show you how to podcast in 3 steps.

184 How Perfectionism Keeps You Stuck in a FUNK06 Dec 202100:20:03

We may think perfectionism is a badge of honor, but let's call it what it is: FEAR in disguise and is the killer of dreams.

Perfectionism keeps us so stuck that we spend months or even years thinking about starting a podcast, and then finally when you do, perfectionism rears it's ugly head again telling you it's not good enough ... record it again, create a better graphic, or promotional copy ... it's just not good enough ... you're not good enough.

If you haven't started a podcast yet: how does wanting it to be perfect show up for you? 

If you have a podcast: how does perfectionism show up and take the fun out of it all? 

You can stay in your PJs and fave hoodie all day … and still create a big, beautiful business of your dreams and a podcast to be proud of!

Here’s how I see perfectionism rear its ugly head with my podcast coaching clients (and if any of these hit a nerve … GOOD!)

They think …

  • I need the right equipment before starting
  • Still exploring the options
  • I’m looking for the right producer/editor
  • Waiting until the website is set up 
  • Keep re-recording because they don't like their voice, or a small slip up
  • Writing and re-writing scripts/bullets because they have to be right first
  • It should be a ground-breaking, profound topic 
  • Indecision about where to start - which topics come first
  • They want to practice, take speaking classes first
  • They want to wait until they have more time to go “all-in”
  • Don't think they can have a seat at the "big coaches" table 

If any of these sound familiar, then I’m here to help. Let’s fuel your podcast with FUN and ease by checking out my free masterclass where I show you how to podcast in 3 steps.

Meet my very special guest, Renae Saager,  who helps women to finally feel normal around food and eat pizza without panic. Renae is also the host of Ditch the Binge Podcast.

Get ready for some fun conversation in this hourlong episode! We talk about all things podcasting, body image, and what it means to be human.

Renae shares her special way of podcasting that keeps her showing up behind the mic again and again. She’s a maverick, and someone creating her own Wild West. She’s one of those people out there doing her own thing and transforming lives one episode at a time.

Episode highlights: 

  • Super-simple podcasting is the secret to keeping it fun
  • Why downloads are BS -find metrics that matter
  • How she trusted her own wisdom instead of taking outside advice 
  • How she keeps production super low-tech
  • Press record and just talk. No scripts is her style!

    Oh … and so much freakin’ more!

So kick back with your fave bevy and listen to two zany ladies having a fun convo.

181 It’s Time to Talk About the F Word27 Nov 202100:07:15

You have everything you need to start your podcast TODAY.

You don’t need fancy editing software.

You don’t need to hire an expensive production company to produce your show.

More downloads will not equate to more clients.

I see so many life coaches make the mistake of over-complicating things by thinking that they need an expensive set up, or hire an expensive production team.

This just doesn’t matter.

Here’s what matters …

You’re in it for the love of it. You're the little kid playing in the sandbox.

You know that kid … they sit there for hours if you let them. That little kid who’s having so much fun, they lose track of time.

That’s the feeling I invite you to cultivate for your podcast.

When you show up from this pure feeling, you're not going to care about sounding perfectly polished.

You’re going to reach those peeps who are dying to hear your words.

You can say ANYTHING and they will love it, even without the fancy extras.

You’re not going to worry about creating the most profound experience for your people. It will just happen.

Lose track of time. Love playing in the sandbox.

If you want to launch and grow a podcast with a guide who knows exactly how to do it with some SERIOUS momentum, let’s see if working together is a good fit. 

I’m only taking on TWO 1-on-1 clients for 6 months of coaching with me for 3-month pricing before my rates go up end of day Cyber Monday, November 29th.
