When Stacey Simms’ son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes she turned to podcasts to learn more. But when she couldn’t find what she was looking for her husband suggested she create her own show.  Nine years on and Diabetes Connections has more than 600 episodes. Stacey is also the host of Diabetes Connections Type 2, as well as the author of The World’s Worst Diabetes Mom and its sequel Still The World’s Worst Diabetes Mom. I connected with Stacey over on Threads and in this conversation you’re going to hear what she would do differently if she were launching a podcast today, how she has successfully monetised her show and how she has connected with her listeners off air.  I’m Alison Fraser, host of Women Who Podcast, the show for side-hustling women who are ambitious but time-limited.

What if no one listens. What if my friends turn against me? What if, what if, what if.  As a podcaster I’ve had these thoughts, and I’d bet that you have probably had something similar. My guest today is Becca Ingersoll, she is the host of Finding Joy Through Life’s Trials, a podcast which she describes as a safe place for us to share our stories. She had those what if thoughts too, but you’re going to hear what Becca did to push past these and to get her podcast off paper and into our ears. We’re going to talk about being brave and sharing scary parts of life, about taking the leap when your head is full of what ifs and about Becca’s reading retreat. Becca is a former high school English teacher, a stay-at-home mum to twins who were born prematurely, one of whom then underwent treatment for leukaemia, and she’s also a keen crafter and reader.

Hey podcasters, what would you do differently if you were starting all over again? This is the topic of this week’s show. I’m going to go through what I would do differently, what I would keep the same and share what other podcasters would do. I asked in my free facebook group what other podcasters would have done differently. Thanks to Penny Fitzgerald from Penny For Your Shots and Mare, co-host of Connection Project 360, for contributing. So dear listener, if you already have a podcast, what would you do differently?

One of the best things I did last year was fly from New Zealand all the way over to Perth in Western Australia for a podcast listener meetup. I’d met just a couple of other people who I knew would be there, but everyone else would be a new connection - including the people I was sharing an air bnb with. Was I worried? Not at all, in fact I was so excited to be meeting people who had the same interest as me. That trip, and the people I met, will stick with me for as long as I live.  My guest today is Carla Ward, she is the host of the Everything ECE podcast and in this episode we’re going to talk about building a community off the air.

Welcome back to another episode of Women Who Podcast. This is the podcast for side hustling women who were time limited, but ambitious, and who wants to have some podcasting in their life, whether that's guesting or as I like to promote, having your own podcast. This episode is a little different to the others. You're going to hear a call that was held between myself and three of my other podcasting friends. We get together every week in an accountability group. Every Thursday morning or my time we meet. And we thought it would be fun to record a podcast about each of us asking a question that kind of relates to our own podcast. You can get to hear the kinds of people who have a podcast. And if you haven't yet dipped your toe into podcasting yet, give you the courage and inspiration to do so. You might find another podcast that you would like to listen to. This episode features Robin Hackney host of Spandex & Wine. Penny Fitzgerald, host of Penny For Your Shots, and Becca Ingersoll, the host of Finding Joy Through Life's Trials. Links to shows: Spandex & Wine Penny For Your Shots Finding Joy Through Life's Trials Are you letting your mind monkeys get in the way of starting your podcast? Are you paralyzed by over analysis of all the steps you could be taking when there is an easier path for you? Are you stuck, but need someone to give you a gentle nudge to take action? I'm trialing a podcast accountability group because I have experienced for myself what you can achieve when you have others alongside you in the same situation.  It's going to be small, so as not to overwhelm you. We'll meet weekly for a month, starting the week of April 8th to get you some wins. And as my time zones going to be changing soon. I'm going to try to make it work for everyone who wants it. This will be at a special beta price of $50. To secure your seat send an email to [email protected]

Over the past few episodes we’ve covered topics such as how to repurpose content and how to squeeze your podcast into your jam packed calendar. In this episode you’re going to hear more about batching, the art of being efficient with the time you have. My guest in this episode is Lisa Zawrotny, host of Positively Living: Do Less, Live More... Breathe Easier. Lisa lives and breathes productivity, but she does it in a way that’s less hustle and more flow. You’re going to learn what the purpose of batching is, whether it’s something that may help you or not, plus what other things you can batch to make you feel like you can breathe easier.

I bet if you asked your non-podcasting friends all they think you do is record and publish. By now you’ve probably realised there’s a bit more to it than that. I find this bit a piece of cake, the recording is the fun part, I enjoy the editing process and getting my podcast out into the world. But what I have found difficult was all the rest. The emails, social media, blog, all the other bits that help your content get seen and found by ideal listeners. And then I got chatting to Emily Aborn, host of Content With Character and She Built This. I asked Emily to come on to help us with repurposing our content so that it doesn’t take a million brain cells and can be done reasonably quickly. You’re going to hear a lot of suggestions, don’t worry about taking notes as they will be in my extended shownotes.

Friends, I have so many great things to say about my guest in this episode that I had such trouble choosing just one thing to pick out for the title. Joining me for a chat about all things podcasting is Audra Bartlett, host of The Wild Visionary podcast. If you’ve never heard her before I promise you that by the end of this you will be subscribed to her show and cu-ing up her episodes for a podcast binge session. Audra and I met in a podcasting course, her energy is pure electric, she radiates such wisdom and I knew she would be able to help other women podcasters get unstuck. She’s a jedi at problem solving and after our conversation I took action on something that had me procrastinating. We talk about checking your podcast’s metrics, asking for help from the get-go, finding podcasts that help you move forward and so much more.

“I recorded an episode one day that I think maybe went for 10 minutes. "Literally just telling my listeners that  I'm taking a break. I'm not going anywhere. I will be back.

“This podcast for me is about sharing stories of resiliency and stories of grit and creativity and hardness in purpose in the wake of darkness. And you experience that in any language. “I am someone who functions equally well in both languages and I want to not miss on a story because of a language barrier that I don't even have.”  Our featured podcast host in this episode is Ydaiber Orozco, host of Rekindle Your Light. What Ydaiber says about Rekindle Your Light: Ever had those moments when life felt like it drop-kicked you into the depths of rock bottom? Well, I've been there too. I've weathered significant losses and navigated through my darkest night of the soul in 2022– and yes, I promise to spill it all. Since then, my sense of purpose has undergone a transformation. I'll be sharing my journey and the stories of people who found light in the wake of darkness. These tales will inspire you, equip you with the tools for personal transformation, and perhaps, even heal parts of your own soul.  My goal is to reignite the inner spark within you.

“So often people don't feel great this time of year. They do let a lot of their habits go and feel guilty and ashamed and like they're not worth it and they've failed. “Whereas instead you can sort of feel empowered and confident in your food decisions and also not deprived, like an element of restriction. Trying to maintain certain habits will probably always be required because otherwise it would be a free for all and you'd be eating all day.  “But it doesn't mean that you have to be deprived.” Our featured podcast host in this episode is Mikki Williden, host of Mikkipedia. What Mikki says about Mikkipedia:  Mikkipedia is an exploration in all things health, well being, fitness, food and nutrition. I sit down with scientists, doctors, professors, practitioners and people who have a wealth of experience and have a conversation that takes a deep dive into their area of expertise.

“It’s true that there are going to be certain places in certain spaces where you're even more alive and more aligned with the people around you. The things you're talking about, the things you're prioritising, the things that are important to you are going to be different in a community that you're really aligned in versus it's a community where you're finding alignment, but you're having to work really hard to find it.” Our featured podcast host in this episode is Cat Caldwell Myers, host of The Adventure Paradox. What Cat says about The Adventure Paradox: This Podcast returns us to the wisdom of our great grandparents and ancestors who lived bravely and simply without all the extras of our modern day world.  Our work and conversation stems around approaches to adventure, and the mundane, for both are the great paradox of life. Each guest and episode will bring you to a new level of understanding and ever closer to the adventure that is seeking you, inside your soul, regardless of your current circumstances.  Many have forgotten that the adventure is NOW - wherever we are, whatever is happening, and whoever we do it with, as much as it is all that we have done and all that we will do.  Mothers, Caretakers and Women who crave elevated relationships and love animals and nature will especially resonate with our message, community and offerings.  Welcome!   Cat’s links:  The podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-adventure-paradox/id1658895153  The instagram: https://www.instagram.com/catcaldwellmyers/  The website: www.catcaldwellmyers.com  My links: Join Women Who Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/WomenWhoPodcast/membership    Website: www.alisonfraser.co

“We're a niche market, but the opportunity to connect with other people, was a really big draw. It certainly increased our support level, but also was just such a boon to us personally, and to a lot of other folks, to have this community of weirdos who wanted to joke around and do all kinds of wild things. “I'm so grateful to Patreon for making it easy, not only to offset the costs of making the show that we love doing so much, but also for making it so much easier to connect with the community. I don't know how else that would have come about. I'm so grateful for it.”  Our featured podcast host in this episode are Allison Shoemaker and Julie Starbird, hosts of Podlander Drunkcast.

Welcome to Women Who Podcast the podcast for women who have something to say. My name is Alison Fraser and this podcast is for women who are either already podcast hosts or are just starting out. Each episode is aimed at giving you the confidence boost you need to get started - and to keep going - as well as to create a sisterhood of women already doing it. I’m a firm believer in leaving the ladder down, in helping women take the shortcut to success so they can change even more lives. Women Who Podcast, and the podcasts that came before it, has always been about voices and helping them get heard. But after speaking to so many podcasters and hearing similar stories of having the courage to just start I know that Women Who Podcast can help even more. You can expect to hear interviews from women already podcasting but also other experts in their field who can help you and your podcast have an even bigger impact. As women we often have something to say, but not always the courage to say it. This is your time. This is your permission to use the voice you have to help others. So give Women Who Podcast a subscribe and if you want to join our sisterhood look us up on patreon.

“I like to say competence builds confidence. So at first you don't have any confidence so you feel like an imposter because you’re new, you're a beginner, but the more reps you do, the more you feel strongly about it and the less bothered you are about it cutting out or whatever, you know, whatever thing might happen as it does. And the more you just kind of get on with it and let it go. “And then I feel like it kind of takes on a life of its own. And it's now really just fun.” Our featured podcast host in this episode is Kirsten Jones, co-host of #RaisingAthletes. What Kirsten Jones says about #RaisingAthletes: Sports Parenting podcast.

“You do not have to be the best podcaster. You don't have to be the most talented podcaster. You can actually develop those skills over time and do not compare yourself to others. Even if you're not the best podcaster, you can still be in the top two and a half percent globally, which is where I'm at. I got within six months and I'm not the best podcaster out there, but you can do it.”  Our featured podcast host in this episode is Kristina Driscoll, host of She’s Brave.

“I have such an imposter syndrome about that, like I'm feeling like an imposter because I make a few mistakes from time to time. I have an accent. I'm taking action anyway. And I'm proving to myself that it doesn't matter if you have the goal and you're consistent.” Our featured podcast host in this episode is Billy Ivanova, host of Unlock Your Child’s Full Potential. Billy’s free summit is October 11. Boost Your Child’s IQ and EQ.  Sign up here: subscribepage.io/QZ7bMB  What Billy says about Unlock Your Child’s Full Potential: This is the Unlock Your Child’s Full Potential podcast and I am your host Billy. I am a mom of 3 lovely girls and I’m looking for answers. I am looking for ways to fill the gaps left  by the school system and teach my kids the lessons that are going to prepare them for real life.  I want to learn practical tips that I can put to practice so that I can raise capable and confident young people who are kind, caring and authentic and who bring value to the world. I know it’s a lot. But I think as parents we have the unique role of nurturing the potential of the special human beings entrusted to our care.  We can’t expect school and the teachers to do everything and we don’t want to let the environment decide who our kids become. It's up to us to coach our children on how to be successful and fulfilled. That’s why I practice what I call intentional parenting. It all starts with creating a clear, compelling vision of what you and your family are all about and asking yourself questions like “what kind of strengths and abilities will our children need to have in order to be successful when they grow up?”. Every one of us will have a different vision, what’s important here is to have some kind of  a plan. Because the window of opportunity to influence our kids' development is small and we better lay a good foundation early on. That’s my goal here. To talk to as many parents, educators, experts, you name it, and ask the questions, look for the universal principles, find as many tools as possible to be a better parent and give my kids a head start in life. If that resonates with you, join me every Wednesday and  let’s inspire each other to create an environment where our children can blossom into the best versions of themselves.
