In this episode of Soul Podcasting Podcast, I sit down with business consultant and host of The Freedom Entrepreneur Podcast, Lindsey Sutherland, for a real and honest conversation about building a business that actually fuels your life. We talk about her pivot from chasing “passive income” to creating what she calls a true freedom business

—one that stimulates your mind, fulfills your heart, and supports your lifestyle. Lindsey shares how she rebranded, found clarity, committed to publishing five short episodes a week, and built systems that prevent burnout. We also dig into:

-Why podcasting alone isn’t a business

-How to design offers around transformation (not just content)

-Niching down without losing your servant heart -

Creating a minimal acceptable performance so you don’t burn out

-Designing your business from your North Star backward

If you’re a solopreneur trying to monetize your podcast, launch a course, or build something sustainable without doing all the things—this one will stretch and inspire you.

In this episode, I’m sharing one of the most important lessons I’ve learned after more than a decade behind the mic: your podcast should serve your life, not consume it. I open up about the seasons when I was exhausted, overcommitted, and quietly wondering if “consistency” was costing me too much — and how I eventually redesigned my workflow, boundaries, and recording rhythm to protect my energy and creativity. If you’ve ever felt stretched thin trying to keep up with your show, this conversation will help you build a podcast that feels sustainable, strategic, and aligned with the life you actually want to live.

"See ya" in the next episode! :-)

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the invisible work of podcasting — the late nights, the editing marathons, the content planning, the outreach emails, the strategy shifts, and the emotional labor that no one applauds but absolutely matters. From the outside, a podcast can look effortless. You press record, you publish, and that’s it — right? Not even close. I’m sharing what really goes on behind the scenes, the discipline and clarity it takes to stay consistent, and why this unseen work is actually what separates hobbyists from leaders. If you’ve ever felt like your effort is going unnoticed, this episode will remind you that the invisible work is building something bigger than you think.

Most podcasts don’t fail dramatically — they stall quietly. In Episode 107, I’m unpacking what I call the podcast identity crisis — that subtle drift that happens around episode 20 when momentum fades, clarity blurs, and you start questioning whether your show is actually moving the needle. I share personal lessons from my own podcasting journey, including the moments I realized I was producing content that was interesting but not strategically aligned. We’ll break down why alignment matters more than downloads, how shows lose direction without you noticing, and the exact reset framework I use to regain clarity, energy, and momentum. If your podcast feels scattered, stagnant, or slightly off-track — this episode will help you realign and move forward with purpose.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how to name a podcast in a way that actually moves you forward instead of keeping you stuck. I’ve seen brilliant creators sit on fully recorded seasons because they couldn’t land on the “perfect” name—and I’ve also seen rushed names quietly sabotage growth. So today, I’m breaking down what really matters: clarity over cleverness, strategy over trends, and alignment over ego. I’ll share what I’ve learned from naming shows like Christian Homeschool Moms and Soul Podcasting, and I’ll walk you through a practical, sustainable way to choose a name you can confidently stand behind for years.

Solo podcasting gets a bad rap—but it doesn’t have to.

In this episode of Soul Podcasting, I’m sharing what actually makes a solo podcast work. Not fluff, not trends—just clear thinking, smart structure, and practical ways to sound more confident, focused, and engaging behind the mic. I talk about why solo episodes can feel harder, why I personally love them, and how to design your episodes so listeners stay with you from start to finish.

If you’ve ever hit stop and thought, “That was fine… but it could’ve been better,” this episode is for you.

🎧 Let’s make your solo podcast stronger—and more enjoyable to create.
