Why Your Podcast Isn't Growing — And Why That Might Be Exactly Right

What if your podcast not growing right now… isn't actually a problem?

In this episode, I'm talking directly to that quiet question so many of us carry—is this even working? I've been there too, in that slow, in-between season where you're showing up, doing all the right things, and the numbers just aren't reflecting it yet.

I want to give you a different lens for that season.

We're going to talk about why most of us are measuring our podcasts using the wrong scoreboard, what faithful growth actually looks like, and how to recognize the signs that your show is working—even if your analytics don't say so yet.

If you're feeling discouraged or questioning your next step, this episode will help you come back to clarity, steadiness, and what actually matters.

XO,

Tammy

Resources & Next Steps

Before making any big changes to your podcast, try this:

Write down 3 signs of faithfulness from the last month:

• A message that mattered
  
  

• An episode you're proud of
  
  

• A moment you showed up when it was hard
  
  

Then give yourself 30 more days before making any major decisions.
