#188 - If You’re A Heart Driven Podcaster… This Is For You

In today’s episode of Podcast Growth University, I speak directly to heart-driven podcasters who started their shows to help others, not chase money. I share why caring deeply about your audience does not mean you have to sacrifice yourself in the process. Through real stories from my own journey, I explain how self-worth, boundaries, and clear goals shape long-term podcast growth.

I also talk about how to balance purpose with profit, avoid burnout, and build a podcast that supports both your audience and your life. Whether you want to monetize or simply stay consistent, this episode will help you get clearer on what you want and how to move forward with confidence.
