Behind the Scenes: What It Really Took to Launch My Podcast

Be my guest — text me!

I’ve launched podcasts for clients, but when it came to launching my own… I stalled for months. The truth? The hardest part wasn’t the tech — it was letting myself be seen.

In this episode of Gab Sessions, I’m taking you behind the scenes of what it really took for me to finally hit publish on my podcast. No polished version, no shiny “launch plan” — just the raw, messy middle.

You’ll learn:

• The exact tech + tools I use every week
• A simple step-by-step process to launch your own podcast
• Why visibility is harder than the tech (and how to push through it)
• How to take messy action instead of waiting for perfection
