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. Keep showing up—but on your terms.
