195: Pause, Pivot, or Put Your Podcast to Bed: What to do when you don't love your podcast

Have you ever found yourself standing at the crossroads with your podcast? That quiet, empty intersection where the path forward isn't clear?

The road stretches in three directions. One road continues the miserable soul-sucking journey of producing your podcast even though the spark is gone.  Another veers toward a pivot - changing direction while keeping your momentum.  And the third... well, that's the road that lets you put it all to bed and walk away.

That once-brilliant bright idea for a podcast that would change the world, or at least get you more clients, has become cumbersome. The thought of sitting down to record another episode fills you with dread instead of excitement.

This has been my dilemma for weeks - loitering at the crossroads of whether to pivot and move in a different direction, miserably move forward, or put this baby to bed.

If you’ve ever felt like you were at a crossroads with your podcast or some other creative project, give this a listen.
