140. Bloopers, Belief and Behind the Scenes: A Candid Chat with Podcast Producer, Stacy Maynard

This week, we’re celebrating 3 years and 140 episodes of the She Flourishes podcast with a very special guest…the woman who has quietly been part of every single episode behind the scenes.Stay to the end for the episode bloopers from the episode.My podcast producer, Stacy Maynard, joins me on the mic for the first time to pull back the curtain on what really goes into creating and sustaining a show like She Flourishes. Stacy is the one who saw the podcaster in me long before I ever did, and she has been holding that vision, telling me the truth and working her editing magic from day one.In this honest, funny and heartfelt conversation, we talk about the evolution of the show, the vulnerable moments you never hear about, and how podcasting has helped me find my voice, build trust with listeners and open unexpected doors in my life and business.In this episode, you’ll hear:How She Flourishes began as a “maybe one day” idea and the conversation where Stacy first told me, “Why are you keeping yourself a secret?”What a podcast producer actually does behind the scenes and why trust between host and producer matters so muchThe tech and audio side of things you never see, from bloopers and barking dogs to soundboards and flow states while editingHow the show has evolved over 3 years from Q and A style interviews to deeper conversation, more solo episodes and finding my voice as a hostWhy consistency is powerful, but taking breaks and redefining the “I have to” rules has been essential to avoiding burnoutThe ripple effect of the podcast, including how listening has impacted Stacy and how the show has led to speaking opportunities and new clientsStacy’s honest take on AI, podcasting and why real human voices and stories still matter more than everThe one thing Stacy most recommends women do to flourish in their lives: use your voice and stop believing that “it has already been said, so it doesn’t need to come from me”If She Flourishes has encouraged you, helped you feel less alone or nudged you toward your own dreams, we would love to hear from you.
