291- Should I Delete My Cringeworthy Episodes?
Manage episode 479029708 series 3552050
Have you ever listened to your old episodes and can barely get through them? Do you cringe when you hear your voice or how you presented yourself? This is a situation even the most experienced podcasters find themselves in, and today we tackle the dilemma of whether or not to delete episodes that make us tense up inside. Inspired by fellow podcaster Meredith from 'Meredith for Real,' who worries about sponsors seeing her early work, we weigh the pros and cons, hear from experienced podcasters, and explore how authenticity and growth can influence these decisions. To wrap up this amazing week, we celebrate some wins and set intentions for the week ahead.
