40. A Calm and Clear Podcast Launch Plan for 2026

Motivation doesn’t launch podcasts. A plan does. This week’s episode is about how simple structure can turn podcasting from a stressful someday idea into something you actually feel excited and confident starting.

I’m not a big resolutions person. I’ve never really bought into the whole “new year, new you” energy. But I am very much a goals person, especially goals that come with a plan attached. And for me, structure is what makes follow through possible.

This episode walks through what I actually mean when I say “podcast launch plan.” Not a rigid, intimidating document. Not a 40-page spreadsheet. Just a clear way to see the full picture of what launching a podcast involves so it stops feeling bigger than it really is.

If you’re heading into 2026 thinking this might finally be the year you start your podcast, this episode will help you lay a foundation that actually supports you from idea to launch and beyond.
