What if the thing holding you back from launching your podcast is the exact reason you need to start it now?
In this episode of Espresso Shot, I’m busting the myth that you need a perfectly clear niche, flawless branding, or the “right” plan before you hit publish. The truth? Clarity comes from action — and messy beginnings often lead to the most meaningful transformations.
Whether you're still thinking about starting a podcast or you’ve launched but feel the pressure to be perfect, this is your reminder: you’re allowed to evolve.
In this episode:
Why perfection is the biggest block for new podcasters
How pivoting isn’t failure — it’s proof you’re listening and growing
Why solo episodes might be your strongest content yet
What successful hosts have in common
Why connection, not polish, should be your biggest focus
