Podcast Burn Out, PodFade- Podcasting Q & A [184]

Kristin was asked the question a lot of podcasters eventually face: “but what if I want to quit?” If you’re feeling burnt out, discouraged by download numbers, or questioning if it’s worth it—you're not alone. The reality is, most podcasters hit a wall long before they hit their goals. So, how do you avoid being part of the 95% who walk away before reaching 100 episodes? Ask Yourself:What’s happening in your life? If everything feels overwhelming, your podcast is likely reflecting that.Where are you finding rest? Unplugging for a week won’t make or break your show—but it might give you the clarity you need.What can you take off your plate? Buying back time might mean outsourcing, simplifying your process, or saying no to things that drain you.Where can you find support? Podcasting can feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. A membership, a mastermind, or even a group of like-minded creators can make all the difference. If you're feeling resentful, exhausted, or like you have nothing left to give, pause before you quit. These stats are a wake-up call, but they don’t have to be your story. Keep showing up—but on your terms.
