Wholistic Podcasting for Podcasters

This is a bittersweet moment — one Kristin has wrestled with, prayed over, and finally feels at peace stepping into.Today, she's sharing something that might come as a surprise: she's pressing stop on this podcast.It's not because she's tired of it. It's not because she's out of things to share. It's because deep in her heart, she knows it's time. The journey of creating, connecting, and building this space has been nothing short of incredible. But sometimes, growth looks like stepping back. Creating margin. Trusting that when God asks you to lay something down, He's making space for something even greater.So while this may be the final episode here, it's not goodbye. It's a new beginning.Thank you for being part of this journey.

Sometimes, the best thing we can do is take a breath and pause. That's exactly the kind of space this episode creates—a peaceful pause for entrepreneurs who are feeling burnt out, anxious, or overwhelmed. Kristin welcomes healing and leadership coach Denise Lee Gee, who brings hope, healing, and clarity to the table—inviting us to let go of pressure and step into authentic leadership.If you've been wondering whether you're showing up in your business (and life) from a place of peace or performance, this conversation will help you get honest—with yourself and with God. Denise unpacks what it really means to lead from authenticity, not from hustle or the need to prove something.Here's what you'll hear inside this powerful episode:What it truly means to show up authentically—without confusing it with transparency or oversharingHow to recognize when you're operating from pressure rather than peaceWhy slowing down and surrendering control helps you stay grounded in who you really are“Understand the intentionality before the action”If you've been chasing achievement at the expense of alignment, this episode is your invitation to pause. To get clear on who you are. To trust the healing process. And to co-create from a place of honesty and peace rather than striving. Because authenticity isn't about saying everything—it's about showing up without a hidden agenda.Connect with Denise: https://deniseglee.com/Stay Connected:https://www.facebook.com/kfchadwick/https://www.instagram.com/kristinfieldschadwick/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb_J0K0X83tSSYLZF7C56lhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-chadwick-44258416b/

If you've been showing up week after week—recording, editing, publishing—and still wondering when the growth will come, this conversation with Kristin and Brittney is exactly what your heart needs. It's not just about consistency. It's about surrender.Sometimes we grip so tightly to what we think should happen that we unintentionally block the space where God wants to move. We treat results like proof of obedience—but the truth is, we're called to show up in obedience regardless of what we see.Here's what helps when you start to feel stuck:Be consistent in your calling, but release the pressure of what it should look likeIf something feels off, get curious—check in with God and ask Him what He's doingYou might have to drop your plan to pick up His—and it might be better than you imagined“You are called to hit record. What happens after that is in His hands.”Surrender isn't passive. It's a posture of trust. And when you walk in it, not just kneel in it, you give God full permission to move through your message. His vision is always bigger. His timing is always better. Keep showing up. Stay open. And let Him handle the outcome.Connect with Brittney: https://www.instagram.com/brittneytollinchiListen to Unjuggle the StruggleStay Connected:https://www.facebook.com/kfchadwick/https://www.instagram.com/kristinfieldschadwick/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb_J0K0X83tSSYLZF7C56lhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-chadwick-44258416b/

​​We all know social media matters. It's one of the most powerful ways to grow your audience, expand your reach, and get your podcast in front of the right people.But let's be honest—it's overwhelming. There are too many platforms, too many rules, and too many voices telling you what you should be doing. Algorithms shift, trends come and go, and what works on one platform won't necessarily work on another.Where should you be showing up? What kind of content actually performs? And how do you keep up without burning out?In this episode, Kristin sits down with social media strategist Amber to break it all down. They get into the real questions creators are asking—what's working right now for podcasters, where you should focus your time, and how to stop overthinking content and start creating with intention.They cover:Why short-form video continues to dominateHow to make your content more discoverable through searchWhat platforms actually matter for your audience—Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, FacebookAnd how to build a system that makes showing up feel sustainableThis isn't about chasing trends. It's about building a strategy that works for you, your content, and your listeners—without having to be everywhere, all the time.Connect with Amber: https://www.sociallyinspiredmanagement.com/Stay Connected:https://www.facebook.com/kfchadwick/https://www.instagram.com/kristinfieldschadwick/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb_J0K0X83tSSYLZF7C56lghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-chadwick-44258416b/

Your voice matters. The words you speak over yourself matter—especially when it comes to podcasting. Kristin welcomes powerhouse Chantal Santiago, who knows how to use her voice and encourages others to do the same. This episode is a reminder that the words you speak carry tremendous power—not just for you, but for those who need to hear your message.Many people hesitate to speak because they focus on their own fears and insecurities. But your voice was never about you—it's someone else's breakthrough. Instead of asking, Who am I to speak? ask, Who will suffer if I don't?Your podcast isn't just about creating content—it's about delivering a message.Your words determine how far your podcast will go. Align them with the future you hope for.Faith comes first, strategy second. Saying yes despite resistance is where the real power lies.Self-awareness is your superpower. Take inventory of your words—are they building you up or tearing you down?"You can't pray for kingdom expansion while speaking hesitation over your life."Your words have power. They can either build you up or hold you back. Fear and hesitation will always be there, but saying yes anyway is what sets you apart. If you want to grow, start by speaking life over yourself and your message. Your voice was meant to be heard—so use it.Purchase Chantal's Book: The Voice of a Queen Stay Connected:https://www.facebook.com/kfchadwick/https://www.instagram.com/kristinfieldschadwick/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb_J0K0X83tSSYLZF7C56lghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-chadwick-44258416b/

Podcast growth isn't just about hitting records and hoping for the best—it's about keeping listeners engaged and making small, strategic shifts that keep your content fresh. But keeping your audience interested doesn't mean you have to reinvent your entire show.

Together, they dive into a dynamic approach to podcasting that keeps listeners tuned in longer without overwhelming creators.Here's what you need to know to keep your podcast engaging and evolving:If your podcast feels stagnant, you don't have to overhaul everything—just tweak how you deliver content.Modcasting is a game-changer. Adding structured content modules can help break away from the traditional podcast format while making episodes feel fresh and dynamic.Video accelerates trust. With AI-generated content on the rise, building real, human connection through video can help strengthen audience trust and engagement.You don't have to throw out what's working. Modcasting isn't about starting over—it's about refining and enhancing what you've already built.“The trust acceleration that comes from video is on a whole new level.”There's no single formula for podcast success, but staying flexible and open to new formats can breathe new life into your show.

Selling can feel uncomfortable, but it doesn't have to. The key? Serve first.Ask yourself: am I creating episodes that meet my listeners where they are? Am I providing a solution to their problem? When you focus on helping, selling becomes a natural next step.People won't get the “ick” if you make it clear how you can help. They just need to know what to do next. Guide them—whether it's grabbing a resource, booking a call, or joining your offer.In today's episode Kristin reminds listeners that selling isn't about pushing. It's about showing up, building trust, and using your voice to share your story. Serve first, and the right people will follow.Stay Connected:https://www.facebook.com/kfchadwick/https://www.instagram.com/kristinfieldschadwick/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb_J0K0X83tSSYLZF7C56lghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-chadwick-44258416b/

The reality is, Facebook groups can still be incredibly powerful—if you know how to use them the right way. It's not just about having a group, it's about creating a space where people actually want to spend time.In this episode, Sarah, an expert in community engagement, breaks down how podcasters can make Facebook groups work. She shares what's working, what's shifting, and how to build a thriving group that fuels your podcast's growth.Here's what you need to know about making your Facebook group work:Facebook groups are a two-way street.Booms and quiet periods are normal: not every post is going to take off, and that's okay.A group won't grow on its own. You have to show up consistently, start discussions, and create momentum.Treat it like a launch. If you want an active community, go all in at the beginning.Bring your podcast into your Facebook group, whether it's through live discussions, behind-the-scenes content, or interactive posts.Going live and hearing crickets can feel discouraging, but it doesn't mean your group isn't working. Facebook groups aren't dead—but the way we use them matters.

Kristin is breaking down the essentials of your podcast intro and outro.The intro is the very first thing your listeners hear—it's your welcome mat. It's your chance to introduce yourself, let listeners know what your podcast is about, and set the tone for the rest of the episode. As we wrap up, let's talk about the outro. This is where you leave a lasting impression. It's your opportunity to thank your listeners, give them a call to action, and encourage them to take the next step—whether that's subscribing, leaving a review, or following you on social media.The beauty of both the intro and outro is that they're flexible. You can evolve them as your show grows. Together, they create a smooth, polished flow from start to finish, helping you leave your audience with a strong, lasting connection.Stay Connected:https://www.facebook.com/kfchadwick/https://www.instagram.com/kristinfieldschadwick/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb_J0K0X83tSSYLZF7C56lghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-chadwick-44258416b/

Every podcaster faces this at some point—it's inevitable. Negative reviews happen. But what do we do when they come? How do we handle them? How do we respond?It's easy for criticism to feel personal.

In today's episode, Kristin shares her thoughts and her process for handling negative feedback with both confidence and grace.She lays out five practical steps to navigate this.Because at the end of the day, someone out there needs your voice and your experiences.Not every review is about you.

Facebook ads are more than just promotions—they're a powerful tool to amplify what's already working in your business. But making them work requires more than just a budget. It takes a solid strategy, a clear understanding of your audience, and the patience to let the results build over time.In this episode, Carole, a Facebook ads expert, shares the critical factors that determine ad success. From knowing when you're ready to run ads to setting realistic expectations, Carole explains how to approach Facebook ads strategically to drive results.Here's what you need to know about making Facebook ads work for your business:Ads Won't Save a Broken Offer: If your business isn't working organically, ads won't fix it. Trust Before Ads: People buy when they trust you. Ads can help speed up visibility, but they're not a substitute for the trust-building process.Start with What's Already Working: Your best ad might already be on your phone. Look at your organic content to see what's resonating with your audience.Smart Budgeting & Targeting: Ads are an investment in visibility. Start small, test your approach, and refine as you go. It's about reaching the right audience, not just throwing money at the biggest one.Be Patient and Strategic: Ads are part of a larger strategy, not a quick fix. Take your time, stay clear on your goals, and approach ads with patience and consistency.Running Facebook ads isn't about expecting quick fixes—it's about amplifying the efforts that are already working for your business.Are you ready for Facebook ads?

Kristin was asked the question a lot of podcasters eventually face: “but what if I want to quit?”If you're feeling burnt out, discouraged by download numbers, or questioning if it's worth it—you're not alone. The reality is, most podcasters hit a wall long before they hit their goals. So, how do you avoid being part of the 95% who walk away before reaching 100 episodes?Ask Yourself:What's happening in your life? If everything feels overwhelming, your podcast is likely reflecting that.Where are you finding rest? Unplugging for a week won't make or break your show—but it might give you the clarity you need.What can you take off your plate? Buying back time might mean outsourcing, simplifying your process, or saying no to things that drain you.Where can you find support? Podcasting can feel isolating, but it doesn't have to be. A membership, a mastermind, or even a group of like-minded creators can make all the difference.If you're feeling resentful, exhausted, or like you have nothing left to give, pause before you quit. These stats are a wake-up call, but they don't have to be your story.

YouTube isn't just a place to upload videos—it's a powerful platform for building trust, driving sales, and creating a sustainable business. In this episode, Kristin sits down with YouTube expert Kati to unpack what actually works on YouTube, from cracking the algorithm to turning viewers into buyersKati didn't stumble into success—she found a strategy that worked. She shares the key shifts that took her channel to the next level and why YouTube rewards creators who show up with focus, clarity, and a plan.Here's what you need to know about winning on YouTube:Focus is everything. The YouTube algorithm is extremely specific, and success comes from speaking to one audience and owning a search term.YouTube rewards those who do well. The platform understands what people are looking for and pushes content that meets those needs.Monetization isn't just about views. AdSense pays for views, but real success comes from using a free lead magnet to drive sales.Shorts vs. Long-Form Content. Shorts are entertaining but don't generate income—long-form content is where growth and revenue happen.Your title and thumbnail matter. A catchy title and an emotional, engaging thumbnail (with minimal words) increase clicks and watch time.Consistency is key. You won't succeed by accident—YouTube is a long game that requires showing up with authenticity and a clear strategy.“YouTube is a way of life.”Katie's biggest piece of advice?

One of the most common questions podcasters ask is, How do I grow my podcast? While strategies and marketing tactics play a role, true growth starts with something deeper—faithfully using what God has already placed in your hands.In Matthew 25:14, Jesus shares the parable of the three servants who were entrusted with talents. Each was given something valuable, and those who used their gifts wisely were entrusted with more. The same principle applies to podcasting. God has already given you something—your voice, your message, your unique ability to connect with others. The question is, Are you using it?Podcast growth isn't just about numbers; it's about impact. When we faithfully pour into those who are already listening, showing up consistently and serving them well, more will be given. Use the talents in your hands, stay faithful to the message you've been given, and trust that as you pour into your audience, growth will follow in God's perfect timing.Stay Connected:https://www.facebook.com/kfchadwick/https://www.instagram.com/kristinfieldschadwick/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb_J0K0X83tSSYLZF7C56lghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kristin-chadwick-44258416b/

It's not just about what we do—it's about creating intentional connections that align with God's purpose for us. In this episode, Kristin sits down with the inspiring Marnie, a mentor and author who shares wisdom on following Jesus and what that looks like in daily life.Kingdom success and worldly success don't always look the same. Marnie shares how staying connected to Jesus allows us to move with purpose and clarity, rather than striving for worldly benchmarks. She emphasizes that our unique design is intentional—God strung together our DNA in a specific way, giving us a distinct position in the world.Here's how you can keep Jesus at the forefront of your life:Pause and talk to Jesus in the exciting moments. Don't just turn to Him in struggle—invite Him into your victories too.Stay in conscious connection. Keep your eyes locked on Jesus, both in the small details and the bigger vision.Understand that it's between you and God. You're in a different lane than others, and your success is measured by obedience, not numbers.“We are in an entirely different lane than others.”Marnie also breaks down how to bring Jesus into the micro-movements of daily work while maintaining a Kingdom-focused vision. She reminds us that we are assigned to bring to the earth what God has uniquely given us.This episode is packed with encouragement and wisdom for Kingdom podcasters, offering guidance to help you align your podcasting journey with faith and purpose.

The podcasting world can feel overwhelming. With nearly 3 million podcasts out there, how do you make your mark? According to Alex Sanfillipo's survey in Podcasting Made Simple, the truth is far more approachable: only about 300,000 podcasts are active, and just 34,000 are considered established. If your goal is to consistently produce 100 episodes, you'll find yourself competing in a much smaller arena—one where strategy makes all the difference.Podcasting isn't just a buzzword anymore, it's a commitment. Most podcasters quit before reaching 100 episodes because success takes time—an average of two years—and requires a clear plan to get there.Without a strategy, it's easy to lose focus and momentum. But when you approach podcasting with intention, everything changes.Success isn't about the numbers; it's about serving the audience you're meant to reach.The right strategy focuses on building a meaningful connection with your listeners while continually improving your craft.Don't let the big numbers scare you.

As Kingdom entrepreneurs, there's often a pressure to do more and be more. But true growth doesn't stem from constant doing—it arises from intentional rest and renewal. In this episode, health coach Ahna Fulmer and Kristin explore the power of early morning habits and how they set the tone for the day, aligning spirit, mind, and body.Our society doesn't teach us to rest. It teaches us to grind, push, and always be on the go. But what happens when we choose rest instead? Ahna shares how making the shift from doing to being changed everything. When rest became a priority, the to-do list no longer had the power to control the day.Rest isn't a luxury, it's a necessity.When rest and stillness become priorities, your perspective on your to-do list shifts. You stop rushing and start being intentional.The pressure to control everything is real. But embracing stillness helps you reconnect with purpose and align with God's plan for you.Wake up with purpose, not stress, and begin your day with alignment and focus.“Some seasons you preserve and some seasons you press pause”“In order to truly live we need to learn how to rest. Our society does not promote that” This isn't about doing more—it's about being intentional with what you're doing. When you get your rest, everything else flows with clarity and purpose. If you want to make this year your most impactful yet, focus on rest, alignment, and setting your mornings with intention. It's time to build with purpose, not just to do.Connect with Ahna:https://ahnafulmer.com/https://www.instagram.com/early.morning.habithttp://www.ahnafulmer.com/rise-renewed-masterclass-registrationHave a podcasting question you want answered on our podcast?

Kabrina Ashley and Kristin Chadwick talk about the intricacies of content creation and the importance of authentic storytelling. Ashley draws from her own journey, illustrating the evolution of her career from a full-time Disney employee to a communication strategist, emphasizing the necessity of being seen and heard in today's digital age. Fear can often paralyze content creators, such as the pressure to constantly produce and the fear of inadequacy. Ashley's method of reducing this anxiety involves focusing on a niche audience and encouraging podcasters to articulate their unique stories, making their content relatable and engaging. This episode highlights practical strategies for leveraging personal experiences, using humor, and creating memorable narratives that resonate with listeners. This approach not only fosters a genuine connection with the audience but also aids in the growth of a sustainable business model, liberating creators from the relentless grind of content generation and allowing them to enjoy their entrepreneurial journey.Takeaways: In a noisy digital world, focus on serving a small, engaged audience rather than trying to appeal to everyone. Creating content should reflect your life goals; define the lifestyle you want first. Storytelling is an essential skill for podcasters, emphasizing emotional connection and relatability. Effective content creation involves using tools that simplify the process and save time. AI can't replicate genuine human experiences; embrace your unique stories and emotional insights. Don't underestimate the power of email marketing; it's crucial for maintaining ongoing connections with your audience.

Today's question from you, my listeners, "How do I choose a podcast name?" Choosing a podcast name should incorporate keywords that make it easily searchable for new listeners. If you already have a following, using your name can work, but include a descriptive tagline. Avoid cutesy names that confuse potential listeners; clarity is key for discoverability. Think about what your podcast is about and who your audience is when naming it. Rebranding can help clarify your podcast's purpose and attract the right audience. Make sure your podcast name reflects its content so new listeners know what to expect.Ready to launch your podcast in 2025?
