344 - Social Media Took Down Your Podcast Account…Now What?

What would you do if your podcast’s Instagram account were banned for no good reason? That’s what happened to the host of Dopey, a podcast about addiction and recovery. Today, we discuss what led to the ban, how he’s responding, and what creators can do when platforms get it wrong. Later, community member Paula shares the emotional toll and what it feels like to be recognized for your work but still feel like a fraud. We explore imposter syndrome, accepting success, and figuring out what paths actually feel right. If you’ve ever felt pulled between outside pressure and your own direction, this conversation will hit home.Episode Highlights: [04:01] The Instagram Ban Incident[08:58] Strategies to Recover Social Media Accounts[14:42] Preventative Measures for Social Media Issues[25:24] Dealing with Imposter Syndrome[28:34] Advice on Managing Opportunities[34:47] The Importance of Mindset[38:01] Respecting Personal Boundaries[46:44] Owning Success, and Saying NoLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Get Your Tickets for The Empowered Podcasting Conference:www.empoweredpodcasting.comVote For Podcasting Morning Chat for People’s Choice Award: www.podcastawards.comDopey Podcast: https://dopeypodcast.comRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.
