Co-host Kat Frogosa and I talk about:

The #1 thing I’ve learned doing 200 episodes of my podcast
What’s changed in the messaging landscape since I started in 2015
The key to continuing to show up & create for 8 years
The top 3 episodes downloaded, all-time (I was surprised by this)

I used to hold being consistent and reliable as a badge of honor.

I think a lot of us do. It’s natural and inevitable in the productivity culture we live in.

In the past few years, I’ve seen the pressure to be “consistent” be called into question by leaders who are committed to doing business differently.

We’re questioning the lack of humanity in needing to show up the same day, the same time, the same way, NO MATTER WHAT.

After all, we’re humans who evolve, go through monthly hormone cycles that affect creativity, caregive other humans, change our minds (gasp), and navigate a complex and changing real world.

But what if we redefined consistency all together?

What if we recognized that consistency isn’t a rigid thing? That it’s about continuing to show up and giving yourself what you need to do that.

AND what showing up looks like might be fluid.

Especially if you’re highly sensitive or neurodivergent and struggle to keep up.

That’s what I’ve learned from doing 200 episodes of my podcast...and taking almost 8 years to do it.

(Celebrating 200 episodes! 🥳)

Consistency for me with my podcast has meant playing with HOW and WHEN I show up.

It has meant taking pauses during different seasons of my life. Giving myself permission for my show’s pacing to look different from other business podcasts.

It has meant realigning regularly. I’ve changed the name of my show FOUR times. (Listen to this week’s episode to hear them all.)

It’s also meant continually assessing which modality feels best to me for using my voice, connecting with my people and being seen …and each time consciously CHOOSING my podcast.

Over and over, I’ve CHOSEN it because I feel a connection when I record, because of the moving notes I get from listeners, because of the incredible clients who have found me from listening to my show.

And because this is my art.

All of that is the “secret” to how I’ve kept creating all these years. That’s what we talk about in episode 200 of Quiet Messenger, when Kat turns the tables and interviews me.
