Why Talking About Your Own Work Feels So Uncomfortable

Self-promotion can feel icky and challenging, especially for independent creators like me. As I navigate day 10 of my "30 days, 30 episodes" series, I reflect on the struggles of getting my podcast, The Life Shift, heard amidst the overwhelming noise of countless other shows. I share my experience with trying different promotional strategies, including a billboard campaign that ultimately was a bust. Despite the challenges and the jealousy I sometimes feel toward larger, well-funded podcasts, I remain committed to sharing meaningful stories that resonate with listeners.
