Your podcast is not the exact same show it was when you started. And that is completely okay. But was that drift on purpose?

 

There's a big difference between a show that grew and a show that just wandered. One of those you chose. The other one happened to you while you weren't looking.

We're halfway through the year, which makes this the moment to check whether your drift was intentional or accidental. 

 

This isn't a teaching episode. It's a check-in. Just you and me and four honest questions.

Happy 4th of July, Y'all! 

 

XO, 

Tammy

 

The Four Check-In Questions:

1. Who were you making this podcast for when you started? Are your last five episodes still for her?

2. If a stranger listened to your last month, would they know what you actually stand for?

3. What are you making out of obligation that you could let go of?

4. What have you been wanting to say or do that you keep talking yourself out of?

Episode Quotables

1."Was that drift on purpose? There's a big difference between a show that grew and a show that just wandered."

2."Drift is not a moral failure. It's just what happens when you're moving. The question is whether your hand is still on the wheel."

3."Staying put can be its own kind of drift. It's just a quieter way of letting the current decide."

4."Realignment is a heading, not a hard turn."

5."You're not off track. You're just done drifting by accident."
