Struggling to grow your podcast audience or keep listeners coming back?
In this episode, we’re calling out the #1 podcasting mistake killing your listener retention—and how small tweaks in your hook, episode structure, and intro can make your show go from skipped to sticky.

Plus, I’m offering personalized Podcast Audits to help you fix blind spots and monetize before the end of 2025. 

If you’ve ever wondered why your podcast isn’t growing the way you hoped, it might be because you’re breaking the very first rule of podcasting.

Let's walk through a self-assessment that will help you uncover whether your show is engaging… or accidentally turning people off. 

From episode titles and cover art to the way you hook listeners in the first three minutes, we’ll review the essentials that make the difference between a podcast that gets skipped and one that builds loyal fans.

Think of it like a reality check -- done in love -- that will help you get clear on how your podcast is showing up right now and what small tweaks can keep you from losing listeners.

And if you already know you’ve been looking at your podcast through rose-colored glasses, I’m offering Podcast Audits to help you spot blind spots and fix them so you can monetize before 2025 comes to a close.
