Women Love Podcasts... So Why Aren’t More Gals Hitting Record?

Women love podcasts they listen, share episodes, and talk about them with their friends but far fewer are actually hitting record. In this episode of Pod Savvy Guide, Steph breaks down the real gap between women who consume podcasts and women who create them, pulling from industry research and her own experience working with podcasters. She talks about the barriers that keep women stuck at the “someday” stage time, confidence, perfectionism, fear of being seen or heard and why so many women doubt that what they have to say matters, even when their ideas are powerful in conversation. Steph also shares the encouraging truth that women who do start podcasts are more likely to stick with them, and why accountability, consistency, and community matter more than expensive gear or having it all figured out. This episode is a reminder that if you’ve ever thought about starting a podcast, your voice is needed exactly as it is.
