Guys is this thing on? What is up besties it
is your host Zoe and I am back with another freaking
episode on the Did I Overshare podcast today?
How have you guys been? I love talking to you
guys sitting down. It is almost Christmas. Well,
we're like six days away. I don't know I don't
know the math, it didn't count, but I'm gonna
assume because it's literally next week. But
I hope you guys are so far having a great December,
I am. And honestly, this month has been full
of blessings and I hope yours has been too. And
if not, I hope it gets better. But today, today,
today, today's episode is why I post intentionally.
Because I have asked you guys many times before,
I was like, oh, do you guys care that I don't
post on a schedule? Everybody said no, I'm gonna
be so honest Nobody said everybody said they
didn't care that I didn't post on a schedule
right because most people watch Kind of freely
as they want anyway, and then like what they
want to watch at the time But I'm going to explain
why today because I know it might seem a little
unconventional especially in today's age I feel
like every single time I go on social media or
tick -tock or you know somewhere and somebody's
trying to give content advice to people it's
like you need to post every day you need to post
every day because you're gonna get seen more
you need to do this no matter what tired sad
whatever the fuck you need to post i don't agree
with that at all personally that's me and that's
how i navigate my content right now for my personal
tiktok i do tend to post very frequently on there
i'd say like at least five out of seven days
a week just because i I mean I do normal everyday
stuff and that's what I post so I I can stay
on top of that for my podcast though I like to
be Extremely intentional with my podcast if that
makes sense um I don't like putting myself in
a spot where I feel like I'm forced to make content
because in my in My head my podcast is my baby.
I love my podcast it helps me it helps everyone
around me It helps you guys. I love my podcast
wholeheartedly And I would never want to get
up here on a day where I don't feel motivated
to talk, where I feel like I'm forcing myself
to say something after I just looked up everything.
It's not even coming from the heart. I would
never force myself to post content in that way.
I wouldn't. Just because I feel like since I
am a self -help podcast, it needs to be self
-help, right? And like I said, my podcast helps
you guys, but it also helps me. If I feel like
I'm getting nothing out of this and this is just
forced, then why am I doing it anyway, right?
This is my dream. I love my podcast. I put every
single thing into it, but it's like, I'm not
going to put out content I don't like. I'm not.
And I know that might seem, especially if they're
like, oh, if you wanna work with brands, if you
wanna do this, you need to post consistently,
brands need to see consistency. I am consistent.
I have never abandoned my podcast once. but I
post with intention so it's not it's not at the
same time weekly now I've never been like three
weeks it's usually like every other week but
honestly it's sometimes honestly I might post
twice a week it's simply if I feel like talking
because if I feel like my what I say is gonna
make a difference then I want to talk about it
right and that's what I'm gonna do and that's
what I'm gonna strive to do always because I
just feel like that will benefit everybody the
most you know if that makes sense and Getting
into the deeper part of it. So why I feel like
okay? I feel like everybody does say you know
if you want anything Big if you want this to
be your full -time job if you want this you have
to do it the cookie cutter way. You have to follow
the rules. You have to do this, you have to do
this, you have to post like five times a day
so people see you and consistently you have to
match the algorithm and so many different things.
I don't think that's true. I don't. Because I
think if you are intentional, the right people
will find you. Brands will find you. People who
want to hear you, listen to you, and you know,
see what you're about, they will find you and
they will hear you. And I think that so if you
are on This journey of trying to start a podcast
because I do have a lot of people actually text
me and they're like Oh, hey, how'd you start
your podcast? I would love to get into it more
depth like in more in depth So if you guys want
an episode on that, let me know. Okay, but I
just feel like that is a whole bunch of hubba
-loo Okay, like I just don't there's no rules
to this and people always make it seem like there
are rules to content There's not at all And I
feel like when I'm watching other people's content,
I can kind of tell when it is scheduled, when
it's forced, when it's not meant to be. Like,
it's not, it's not genuine. You don't seem happy.
You don't, like, there's no spark there. I don't
feel a connection with you, right? And I hope
you guys feel a connection with me when I am
talking to you because I never want to force
myself to show up, right? I feel like that's
unfair to myself in a way. And I think I always
was hard on myself about it because it's like
I I kind of talk to myself I'm like if I'm not
showing up clearly, I don't want to be that bad.
I don't want it that bad. I'm not a hard worker
I'm not grinding. I'm not doing this. No, I am
I'm just also choosing peace and Mental clarity
at the same time because like I said, this is
a self -help podcast if I'm not helping myself
Then who am I really helping? You know and Just
don't know I I really felt inspired to make this
video today because I Honestly in a way I kind
of wanted to explain myself because I didn't
know if some people do watch my podcast like
listen to my podcast They're like, oh, why doesn't
she like why she not consistent because a lot
of the podcasters I listen to it's like oh new
episodes every Monday or new episodes this that
the other I can't I can't. It's just like when
something is so deep to me and when I love something
so much, I never want to be phony, if that makes
sense. I never, and okay, wait, hold on. As a
talker, as a talker, forcing myself to talk will
never work. Never. Like if I have to make scheduled
content, right, and I have to look up... you
know a topic or something like that it's not
it's not genuine in my opinion because why do
i have to research something and why is it not
coming off the dome now granted researching some
stuff for outside purposes 100 % yes yes we always
want to hear different perspectives and learn
gather insight in that and that is what i do
but a lot of the times i like speaking from my
heart i like speaking what is on what's heavy
on my mind right now you know what do i want
to talk about what do i want to Engage in with
you guys and you know want you guys to learn
because I also feel like I'm a very spiritual
person Okay, I'm a very spiritual person and
a lot of the times I get put through certain
lessons to talk about for my podcast right and
that's what I think because I go through I have
been through so much and I continue to go through
so much and I feel like I can relate to a lot
of the world and you know share my perspective
but also hear others and learn from that and
you know vice versa which I feel like another
reason why it's so important to be intentional
and not force my content. Now, I do think it
is different when you are like, let's say a bigger
creator, right? I'll be there soon. I'll be there
soon. When you are a bigger creator. And let's
say you have, because I remember watching someone
and they were like, oh yeah, I have like 20 brand
deals going on right now, so I have to post scheduled
content. Now I think that is separate from your
normal everyday content, because now posting
something with a brand, that has to be scheduled,
right? Because you have to work with this brand,
you have to work in like dates, different times,
you know, that's different. And I don't think
that per se is forced and fake and unauthentic,
I don't agree with that, right? But I do think,
If you're doing your own work and you don't feel
drawn to talk about it or you don't want to and
you just feel like you're forcing yourself to
get up, that energy is felt through the screen.
Like I said, I can feel when something's forced.
Not all the time. Not all the time. But a lot
of the times I can and it just doesn't feel right
for me to do it in my practice just because like
I love my podcast so much and I think It's already
fucking huge. Do you know how many countries
I am listened to in y 'all? 500. I am listened
to in over 500 countries y 'all. That makes me
shit myself every single time I see it. Every
time I go to look at my analytics, I'm like,
oh my god. Oh my god. You guys are everywhere
and I love you so much and I just, I would hate,
hate to give you guys information that - feels
fake, that feels unauthentic, that doesn't feel
like me, because it's my podcast. Now granted,
my podcast is a business, I need to run it like
a business, and I do, but I run it very strategically.
And now, I don't know if anybody else, I've never
seen anybody else that I have watched or seen
content -wise approach it like this. And now,
in the future, I really, I hope this doesn't...
affect me negatively in a way I don't think anything
will if I'm being honest because when you when
you work from the heart you get blessed okay
but I I think it is a new approach because I've
never seen it I've never seen anybody say hey
I'm just going to post authentically but I'm
not gonna give it up in the process I'm going
to continue to straight true to myself and learn
because every single day first of all we already
know kind of the situation I've been in these
past couple months yeah So we know the situation
I've been in this past like you know a couple
months so I think it is even bigger to me now
to stay true to myself but also never give up
because I have seen like a lot of the times in
the struggle you a lot of people give up on their
dreams right I won't but instead I'm gonna share
them with you and now that part I'm also I was
hard on myself at first about it because I was
like okay well How much information do I want
to share with the world? You know and I still
haven't shared a lot of it a lot of The rest
of my life and everything that has happened and
everything I've been through and learned and
you know went through and what we'll get there
We'll get there. Okay, because it is a learning
process. It is extremely vulnerable to do because
it's like when I have Thousands and thousands
and thousands of people listening to me. It's
kind of nerve -racking it is because it's like
damn I'm telling these people the deepest darkest
parts of myself it's scary it is extremely scary
and it's hard to show up consistently but you
must right and I think that's why it is even
more true like better to stay intentional why
you do it if you hear my dog in the background
please Please don't mind him, okay? But I think
that's why it's even more important to stay true
and intentional to your work because your message
could impact people more than you think. Now,
I do have people text me all the time and just
tell me how much they love my podcast and how
much it helps them, and that means so much to
me. Like, y 'all don't even, I'm not gonna get
fucking emotional, okay? But y 'all don't know
how much that means to me. As someone who felt
like she wasn't seen her entire fucking life
to finally get to a point where it's like but
yes it is you know what y 'all i'm out of breath
y 'all i just had to run down something downstairs
i try to come back in like everything was fucking
normal but it's not i'm out of breath and i god
i forgot what the fuck i was talking about but
yes i love my podcast with every fiber in me,
okay? So I want to make sure I'm giving you guys
the best content, which is why I post when I
feel drawn to talk about it. Because I think
at the same time, not to get all woo -ha, I feel
like my podcast is a huge lesson for me, right?
But also, it's a big educational opportunity.
And honestly, I don't know if I want to do this
on like a Patreon or something but I want to
start hitting the spiritual side of my life because
it plays such a heavy role in my life and I know
not everybody's into that right so that's why
I was like I don't know if I should do it on
Patreon or not because I I have the coolest experience
recently like first of all I'm a death doula
and a normal doula bitch it is so fucking cool
spiritually I would love to talk about that um
and I would love to talk about so much more so
y 'all just let me know what you want to hear
or if I should make it like a Patreon exclusive
type of thing where I do like weekly spiritual
episodes and talk about all that shit and all
that stuff um but yeah I just this episode was
a short one but I feel like a very important
one that I wanted to sit down and talk to you
guys about because I wanted you guys to see a
little bit of me and how I operate and how I
function and why I do what I do for you guys
and I can't wait to see us get even bigger and
like I just I just know the growth I've already
had is insane and I know it's gonna get even
bigger like this podcast is fucking huge bigger
than I can even imagine and I love you guys so
much and you guys bring me joy and peace every
single day and just know like we always say growth
is not linear but it is beautiful and you know
one day i'll be 30 sitting on this pocket god
damn god that's okay 30 40 and thriving um one
day i'll be 30 sitting behind this podcast and
then we'll be able to reflect how much we have
grown as a team and a collective also let me
know if you guys would like me to open a patreon
period i have one up but Opened it a very very
long time ago. We could do like where you guys

is full of them So it's never that I don't have
the ideas. I always have ideas It's whether I
feel motivated to talk about it like do I feel
