I'm Taking A Break From My Podcast. Here's Why.

So the announcement I'm making today is that I am taking a little breather from the pod, and it hasn't been a decision that's come lightly for me, but this is 100% not the end.

Like, absolutely nowhere near the end.

I'm absolutely coming back.

I already have some episodes prerecorded, so I'm committing to myself and I'm making sure that I get it done, but it's not goodbye.

It's see you soon, truly.

So I, I owe you the truth about why, um, because it's literally what so much of my coaching business is about and what this podcast is about.

And like I said to you, genuinely, it wasn't in the diary.

It wasn't something I planned on happening.

This isn't strategy [laughs] but here we are.

And the honest truth is that life has been coming at me from, like every angle, every which way, every direction, everything.

My business, Iconic, is absolutely fucking booming, and we are in a growth and scale phase, which is, if you've ever grown and scaled, it [laughs] demands everything from you.

Like, literally everything.

And while I'm loving that and while it's fun, it's kind of taking, like every ounce of spare time that I have at the moment.

It's been eating into our date nights.

It's just been doing a lot of those things, and again, it's one of the seasons that I talk about all the time, so we're just in one of those seasons.

And we're also finishing our house.

Um, and then, you know, anyone who's renovated before, anyone who's built a house before knows that you don't just kinda, like, get the keys and move in.

There's so much [laughs] shit that goes on behind the scenes.

And that is also absorbing all of my brain capacity and spare time, and I have like 20 people in my house all the time at the moment.

And I'm not saying this for sympathy or anything else either, but we also have suffered another pregnancy loss, which, to be honest, was a little bit unexpected, and I'm saying this because it's real and because if I sat here pretending that everything was okay and I was okay and [laughs] everything was just, like, about sunshine and content calendars, I wouldn't be being honest with myself, and I certainly wouldn't be being honest with you guys.

So I'd be doing the exact opposite of, I guess, of what I stand for and what my businesses stand for.

So when you put all of that into one pot, the business, the house, the grief, the kind of everything happening all at once, my creative flow for this pod has quite literally, well and truly [laughs] vacated the building.

And [laughs] I've felt in the last few episodes that I've done solo haven't really been me bringing my A game and delivering on the topics and, and delivering in a way that I hold myself to.

Hopefully, you haven't felt like that, but I definitely have.

And you know, the most important thing to me in my coaching business, in my podcast, in everything is, like, the quality of the output that I deliver.
