Podcasting as a Working Mom: What’s Actually Sustainable

Send us Fan Mail

Feeling burned out trying to grow your podcast or side hustle on social media? Wondering if you really need to post every day, chase the algorithm, and sacrifice your time to succeed?

In this episode, I share the honest truth about why I stopped promoting my podcast on social media—and what happened next. After juggling guest interviews, content creation, editing, and a full-time job, the pressure to “do it all” became unsustainable. Like so many working women, my weekends weren’t free—they were filled with the invisible mental load of managing a household, kids’ schedules, meals, and everything in between.

So I made a bold decision: I cut social media, stopped guest episodes, and focused on creating simple, sustainable mini podcast episodes. The result? Unexpected podcast growth and a renewed sense of clarity.

We unpack:

•  Podcast growth strategies that don’t rely on social media 
•  Creator burnout and how to build a sustainable content strategy 
•  The reality of the mental load for working moms and women entrepreneurs 
•  Why authenticity and consistency may outperform algorithm-driven marketing 
•  The tradeoffs between career, side hustle, and family life 

If you're a podcaster, content creator, or working mom feeling overwhelmed by the pressure to constantly produce and promote, this episode will help you rethink what growth really looks like.
