Navigating Podcast Challenges and Bouncing Back from Setbacks

November 25, 2025 • Alesia Galati • Episode 246

You started your podcast with an impactful message, but now you're hit with a frustrating setback: a sudden download dip, a wave of negative feedback, or tech glitches. These blows can fuel imposter syndrome and quickly lead to severe burnout, stopping your important message before it even reaches your audience engagement goals. This episode of Podcasting Unlocked is your survival guide for when the going gets tough! I dive into the essential mindset shifts and actionable strategies you need to build emotional resilience. Learn how to overcome the inevitable struggles of content creation and keep showing up consistently, even when the holiday season or a sudden failure tries to knock you down. This week, episode 246 of Podcasting Unlocked is about navigating podcast challenges and bouncing back from setbacks!

In this episode of Podcasting Unlocked, I’m sharing the importance of setting boundaries around your podcast and actionable steps you can take right now to prepare for unexpected setbacks and planned breaks alike.

I also chat about the following:

When and who you might see dips in downloads.
How to handle negative feedback you might receive on your show.
Finding a community that’s right for you and aligned with your podcasting goals.
The importance of celebrating all youd podcast wins, big and small.

Resilience is not about avoiding problems; it’s about how quickly you recover. This week, take five minutes to write down three wins your podcast has had in the last month (a great piece of negative feedback, a milestone episode, or a new piece of tech you mastered).

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.

Thank you for listening! If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot of the episode to post in your stories and tag me! And don’t forget to follow, rate and review the podcast and tell me your key takeaways!
