Staring at your download numbers wondering if you should just quit? Scrolling through other podcasters' success thinking they have something you don't? If you're stuck in a podcast plateau questioning whether any of this is worth it, this episode will help you find your way forward.

This is part two of my conversation with Rafer Owens Jr., certified mindset coach, about building podcast resilience that actually lasts. You'll hear Rafer's raw story about almost giving up during a nine-mile run and the breakthrough that changed how he approaches everything, including his podcast.

We're talking about how to keep podcasting when you want to quit, why your why matters more than your download numbers, and how to detach from the metrics and focus on impact. If you're in the messy middle right now, this conversation is your reminder: you can't fail if you're already showing up.
