32 - Combatting Impostor Syndrome when Podcasting - What if No One Wants to Listen to My Podcast?

Podcast with Rosie

Welcome to another episode, today let’s explore the notion of thinking no one would listen to your podcast and the creeping in of impostor syndrome and combatting it.

I talk about what impostor syndrome means, and that even seasoned podcasters also feel a sense of 'Who am I to do this?'

I want you to embrace your unique voice. There is no one in the world like you to share your message.

Don’t go from 0-100, but realistically start small with your podcast and strengthen your ability to reduce the thoughts and feelings of impostor syndrome. And grow from there as your confidence increases with your podcast.

Embrace feedback and take constructive criticism in your stride and make improvements. You’re competing against yourself to be better at the next episode than the last episode and grow as a podcaster.

Celebrate your wins, no matter how small and making a conscious effort to celebrate the win will reinforce your confidence and minimize the impostor syndrome.

Get yourself into a supportive community with people who know what you’re going through in your podcasting journey. This makes a world of difference.

Remember your why and grasp it and use it to remind yourself through the times that impostor syndrome and self-doubt start to creep into your head again. Knowing why you’re doing your podcast show will be what keeps the momentum going.
