95. Designing Your Podcast With Love & Soul in the Age of AI (with Jackie Pelegrin)

What does it really mean to design your podcast with love—not just strategy and systems, but intention, care, and sustainability? In this episode of Soul Podcasting, I’m joined by Jackie Pelegrin, instructional designer, college professor, author, and host of the Designing With Love podcast. Jackie shares how her background in instructional design shapes the way she approaches podcasting—and why designing with intention matters just as much as consistency. We talk about podcasting as a form of teaching, how to balance creativity with practicality, and how to use tools like AI without losing your voice or burning out. Jackie also opens up about systems that support longevity, letting go of perfection, and giving yourself grace as a creator. This is a thoughtful, encouraging conversation for podcasters who want to build something meaningful—and sustainable—without hustle culture running the show.
