It's another installment from the Season 3 Co-Host Collective Series and, in this powerful episode, co-hosts Marc Ronick and Ana Xavier are back to tackle one of the biggest invisible barriers in podcasting: limiting beliefs. Together, we break down how these internal narratives can hold creators back and prevent them from ever hitting record.

Whether it’s feeling like you don’t have enough to say or disliking the sound of your own voice, these doubts are more common than you think. Our trio explores how these thoughts are not reflections of reality, but rather obstacles that can be re-framed to unlock your true potential as a podcaster.

Another common roadblock we delve into (thats' for you, Ana) is the misunderstanding of download numbers. Many creators believe their worth is tied to their stats. But in reality, success in podcasting is more about connection, consistency, and clarity around what you want from your show.

Stick around to the end and you'll hear our words of encouragement to shift your focus from perfection and external validation to growth, purpose, and progress. When you lead with your passion and let go of limiting beliefs, the results—and listeners—will follow.

Key Takeaways:

• You do have something valuable to say—your unique perspective is what makes your podcast stand out.
• Disliking the sound of your voice is normal; with practice, you’ll grow into your sound with confidence.
• Download numbers are not the ultimate measure of success: impact matters more than metrics.
• Many limiting beliefs are learned or assumed; they can be unlearned and reframed.
• Focus on what you truly want from your podcast, not what you think you should want.
• When you amplify the positives, you open the door for positive results and tangible growth.
