5 Lies Keeping You from Starting Your Podcast (and What to Do Instead)

5 Lies Keeping You from Starting Your Podcast (and What to Do Instead)

If you’ve ever said, “I’m not ready,” “I don’t have the time,” or “It’s all been said before,” this episode is your wake-up call.

In this solo episode of Empowered Endeavors, Shaunna Lee gets real about the 5 most common (and convincing) lies that hold people back from starting their podcast—and why none of them should stop you.

From niche fear to tech overwhelm to imposter syndrome, she unpacks each myth and offers a refreshing, empowering perspective to help you take action now—not someday.

If you’ve felt the nudge to launch your show but keep putting it off, this episode will meet you with grace, truth, and a practical roadmap for what to do next.


What You’ll Learn:

  • Why no one will listen is a lie (and why you only need the right ones)
  • Why originality isn’t about the topic—it’s about your voice
  • How new tools make podcasting easier than ever
  • Why “I don’t have time” is a disguised decision, not a fact
  • The clarity that comes from action, not planning
