The Happy Way To Find Podcasting Success [S3E126] - a podcast by Evo Terra

To me, I equate happiness to contentment. That’s not the same thing as complacency, which is to be avoided. What makes me content about my podcasting journey may not be (and likely will not be) the same thing that makes you content about your podcasting journey. We both have to chart our own paths toward happiness and contentment.

Doing More To Achieve Podcasting Happiness

Sometimes doing more with your podcast can greatly increase your level of happiness. Like  focus more effort in post-production, investing more in marketing or outreach to grow your audience, or spend more time building a bigger and better-connected community

Doing Less To Achieve Podcasting Contentment

Sometimes unburdening yourself from commitments can go a long way toward getting you to a more happy place as a podcaster. Can you outsource some podcasting tasks that you really don't enjoy?  What about cutting back on (or cutting out) a social platform that you don’t find all that enjoyable? Or reduce your episode output frequency to lower your stress and anxiety? 

Doing Things Differently To Achieve Podcasting Bliss

Maybe do different things to cause a positive outcome on your happiness and contentment as a podcaster.  You can shift the entire focus of your show if you're not happy with the direction Or you might consider joining a network or a collective. Or maybe something as simple as changing where you podcast will give you a fresh perspective and, with luck, increase your overall happiness as a podcaster.

Ultimately, your happiness is just that: your own happiness. So take control over it. Especially if you’ve tried to chase someone else's definition of what success in podcasting looks like and found it lacking. Podcast in a way that makes you as happy of a podcaster as you can be.

Mentioned in this episode:

Support For Abortion Rights

While Americans overwhelmingly support the right of an individual to make their own decisions about abortion, unfortunately, that right is no longer protected everywhere in the U.S. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade on June 24th.

Abortion is a basic healthcare need for the millions of people who can become pregnant. Everyone should have the freedom to decide what’s best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to ending a pregnancy. This decision has dire consequences for individual health and safety, and could have harsh repercussions for other landmark decisions.

Restricting access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, threatens the health and independence of all Americans. Even if you live in a state where abortion rights are upheld, access to safe medical procedures shouldn’t be determined by location, and it shouldn't be the privilege of a small few.

You can help by donating to local abortion funds. To find out where to donate for each state, visit...
