Podcasting Unlocked: Tips and Growth Podcast Strategies for Impact-Driven Entrepreneurs

Navigating Podcast Burnout After 5 Years [Audit with Medium Lady Talks]

Alesia Galati Episode 202

Feeling like your podcast is just you shouting into the void? You've poured your heart and soul into your show, but the downloads just aren't reflecting your effort. In today’s episode, Alesia conducts a live, in-depth podcast audit with Erin of Medium Lady Talks, dissecting common SEO pitfalls, guest management strategies, and actionable steps to finally unlock the audience growth you deserve. This week, episode 202 of Podcasting Unlocked is about navigating podcast burnout after 5 years, and what you can do to breathe some fresh air into your show! 

Erin Vandeven is the host of Medium Lady Talks, the podcast for burnt-out millennial moms who want to reclaim their time, energy, and joy—without the pressure of perfection. A working mom and mindful living advocate, Erin shares refreshingly honest conversations and practical strategies to help you navigate motherhood, career, and self-care with medium effort. If you’re overwhelmed by unrealistic expectations and craving a more sustainable approach to life her show is for you!

In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, I’m sharing the importance of auditing your podcast to see what changes you can make instead of having to start over and actionable steps you can take right now to optimize your podcast for maximum visibility. 

Erin and I also chat about the following: 

  • Formatting your show notes for search engines (your audience isn’t reading them!)
  • Updating your show’s title to better reflect your ideal audience.
  • Implementing an automatic workflow for better guest communication after recording, including providing shareable assets.
  • Analyzing your podcast stats to find the best episode length for you and your audience.

Remember: just because your podcast hasn’t seen the growth you desire after several years doesn’t mean you need to start over from scratch! There are simple steps you can take to improve your visibility and reach without going down the road to burnout!

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on turning your podcast listeners into leads and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
