I want to share a little insider secret with you. If you’ve noticed a dip in your podcast downloads, I know it can feel like a real punch in the gut. Trust me, I've been there, and it's totally normal to happen during July, so don’t stress!Here’s the thing: summertime is all about beach days, vacations, and soaking up the sun. People are lounging with a good book or spending quality time with family and friends, which means they might not be listening to podcasts as much.This seasonal dip happens to a lot of podcasters. It’s just part of the natural ebb and flow. Instead of worrying, use this time to refresh and plan. Maybe brainstorm new content, batch record some episodes, or even take a little break yourself.Remember, it’s not about the short-term numbers; it’s about the long-term connection you’re building with your audience. They’ll be back, earbuds in hand, ready to dive into your amazing content before you know it.So, embrace the summer vibes, enjoy a little downtime, and know that you’re right on track.

In this episode of "The B Word," I'm back, and boy, do I have a story for you! So, picture this: it's January, and I'm at this awesome retreat, feeling all pumped up for the new year. Then bam! I get a call from my husband, Jeff. Now, Jeff's the kind of guy who avoids doctors like the plague, but this time, he's in such excruciating pain that we end up rushing him to the ER. Turns out, it's kidney stones. 🩺 Yeah, those little devils.Fast forward to April, and Jeff's still battling those stones. Meanwhile, my daughter Emily breaks her toe at a trampoline park, and not just any break—90 degrees straight down. So, yeah, that's the health drama in the Bolt household.But wait, there's more! I've hired new people to help with the business, and let's just say, one of them dropped the ball big time. Cue the stress and overwhelm. I mean, trying to juggle family health crises and business woes? It's been a rollercoaster, to say the least.But I'm not one to stay down for long. I've got my strategies for tackling overwhelm, like going back to reading for pleasure (Sarah J. Moss, anyone?), leaning on friends for support (shoutout to Christina!), and dialing back on social media scrolling (bye-bye, puppy videos 🐾🐾🐾 ).Oh, and let's not forget the power of music. I'm talking Lauren Daigle and Zac Brown Band soothing my soul while I tackle chores around the house.Chances are, if you're an entrepreneur, you're likely gong to face overwhelm yourself at some point. It coud be business related, family related, or like me...both. So let's have a chat about how exactly I'm handling it so that you can do the same when you inevitably find yourself in this season of life too. We've all been there my friend.
