Welcome to The Voicekeeper Podcast—a space for soul-led women entrepreneurs, coaches, and creatives who are ready to reclaim their rhythm, reconnect with their voice, and rise with resonance.
I’m Caroline Hull—podcast strategist, spiritual coach-in-training, and creator of the Voicekeeper™ Framework. Through grounded storytelling, intuitive strategy, and sacred structure, this podcast invites you to show up in a way that feels true—not performative.
Each episode weaves together voice-first business strategy, content creation, and visibility practices that honor your energy, your gifts, and your truth. You’ll learn how to:
✨ Create podcast episodes that move and magnetize
✨ Use your voice as a powerful client-attracting tool
✨ Align your visibility with your nervous system and soul
✨ Grow your business without losing yourself in the process
Whether you’re in a season of expansion, burnout, or becoming—this is your place to return, reflect, and rise.

We’ve been told that consistency is everything. That success equals output. That if you step back, you’ll lose momentum.
But your podcast isn’t a machine. It’s a living system—and that means it’s allowed to change.
In this deeply personal episode, I’m inviting you to take a breath and reframe the way you think about your podcast. From seasonality to shifts in message, format, and frequency—this episode is your permission to honor the rhythm of your creative work and stop grinding through content that no longer fits.
And stay tuned until the end—there’s a big announcement about the future of the podcast. (Spoiler: it’s not ending—it’s expanding.)

There are seasons in podcasting—and in life—where it feels like you’re speaking into the void.
No comments. No replies. Maybe not even the downloads you hoped for.
But that doesn’t mean your voice isn’t being heard.
In today’s Voicekeeper Moment, I’m sharing a quiet truth I return to often:
✨ The void is not empty. It’s sacred.
Your voice is doing powerful work, even when no one’s responding.
If you’ve been questioning whether it’s worth it to keep showing up… this is for you.

If strategy has ever felt like a box you’re trying to squeeze yourself into, you’re not alone. Many of us—especially heart-centered podcasters—have been told to follow formulas that feel too loud, too rigid, or simply not us.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what truly makes podcast strategy work—and spoiler alert: it’s not about doing more or doing it "right."
You’ll hear about the three foundational elements of aligned podcast strategy:
- Alignment – Your content matching your energy and your audience’s real needs
- Simplicity – Strategy that removes decision fatigue instead of creating more
- Sacred Planning – A rhythm that allows you to show up fully present
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still not seeing results, this episode will help you find clarity—and a path that feels like home.

This week, I’m sharing one of the most powerful mindset shifts I’ve made in my podcasting journey — and it’s one I come back to again and again:
✨ It’s not about downloads. It’s about direction.
When your podcast is aligned with your business, your episodes start doing the heavy lifting for you — building trust, guiding listeners to your offers, and creating real momentum (even with a small audience).
If you’ve been feeling stuck or scattered with your show, this is your invitation to realign with your vision — and I’ve got support ready for you.

Let’s build a podcast that supports your business — not just your to-do list.
Let’s be honest—podcasting can start to feel heavy, even when you love it. You have ideas, but they feel scattered. The pressure builds. And suddenly, something that once lit you up feels more like a to-do list.
In this episode, I’m sharing the deeper reason why I created the Podcast Strategy Shop and how these tools came from real-life moments of podcast overwhelm—mine and my clients'. This isn’t just a walkthrough of what’s in the shop—it’s a heart-centered conversation about sacred structure, creative flow, and learning to podcast in a way that supports your energy.
If you’ve ever thought, “I have the ideas, but no plan,” or “I keep trying to follow content calendars that don’t work for me,” this episode is your breath of fresh air. ✨

It’s easy to feel like nothing’s happening when your podcast is quiet — no inbox pings, no flood of DMs, and maybe not the downloads you hoped for. But sometimes, the most powerful growth is the kind you can’t see yet.
In this Voicekeeper Moment, I’m sharing why I believe the quiet seasons are where trust is built and how this shift in perspective is exactly why I created my free event, Podcast to Profit.

It’s easy to feel discouraged when your podcast feels quiet—when downloads aren't skyrocketing and no one's flooding your inbox. But here’s what you don’t always see: your audience is listening. Your podcast is working.
In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how one of my simplest, most "unpolished" episodes led to real client inquiries—and how this experience completely shifted the way I view podcasting and marketing.
We’ll talk about why emotional resonance matters more than perfect CTAs, how trust is built episode by episode, and how your most powerful growth might be happening right now... even if you can't see it yet.
If you’ve been questioning your podcast or feeling stuck in a numbers spiral, this is your reminder: the quiet seasons are often when the magic is happening.
Episode Highlights:
[00:01:00] How real presence (not polish) converts listeners into clients
[00:03:10] Why message clarity matters more than a perfect CTA
[00:06:00] Emotional resonance: the missing link in your content
[00:08:28] Trust is built episode by episode (not instantly)

You’re following the plan. You’re showing up, you’re publishing, you’re doing everything “right.”
But deep down, something feels... off.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a major shift that changed everything for me: the realization that strategy without soul was burning me out.
We’ll explore what happens when you stop podcasting just to check a box—and start podcasting with real clarity and intention. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your content, if showing up feels more performative than purposeful, this is your invitation to breathe, realign, and trust your voice again.
Because your voice is the strategy.

Together, we’ll explore how to let go of the pressure to perform, reconnect with your creative energy, and shift back into content creation that feels natural, nourishing, and real.

In this episode, I’m diving into the concept of a podcasting rhythm—a mindset and practice that helps you create content without the pressure to hustle. I’m sharing how I developed my own rhythm, inspired by my homeschooling routine, and how it’s transformed how I show up for my audience.

A recent study of podcast listeners indicated that a big reason they stopped listening to a podcast is because of bad production value and sound quality. And as more and more people turn to artificial intelligence (AI) tools to produce their podcasts... Well, it’s sometimes really noticeable and not in a good way.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing what podcast production is (spoiler: it’s things like your audio, editing, episode structure, and more) and how to improve it for your own podcast. Plus, I’m sharing which AI tools I like and why, but also why they aren’t reliable for replacing human editing and copywriting yet.

Podcasts aren’t a one-and-done enterprise, right? We aim to create content that will be helpful for our ideal clients for, hopefully, years to come.

You’ve already created amazing content for your show, now all you have to do is repurpose it into an evergreen blog post.
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Anita Dykstra, a lead generation and evergreen content strategist. Anita shares the importance of having a blog post for your podcast episode, what makes a successful blog post for your podcast, and how you can optimize those blog posts with SEO.

You know what you can always expect from me? The truth! So, I’m going to get a little spicy and controversial in this episode, but know that it’s coming from a place of caring because I don’t want to see you taken advantage of.

As a podcast strategist, I recommend to all my clients that they have show notes for their podcast and place them on their website. Why? Because your business website is your home on the internet.

“If you build it, they will come” is such outdated advice. It just doesn’t work for podcasts or online businesses anymore. The podcasting landscape has changed so much over recent years and we have to change along with it. People won’t listen to your podcast if they don’t know it exists. So, how can we let people know our podcast is out there? We have to get visible!
In today’s episode, I’m sharing why you need to incorporate a visibility strategy into your overall podcast growth plan. I’ll share what visibility is and how it differs from marketing, some actionable tips you can use to raise the visibility of your podcast, and more. I know it’s scary to get out from behind the mic, but if I can do it, you can do it, too.

Your podcast is a valuable tool to promote your membership or group coaching program. You can connect with your listeners around their pain points and demonstrate how you can help alleviate their struggles. Sounds great, right? But if your podcast isn’t actually selling spots in your membership, you have to take a step back and figure out why.
In today’s episode, I’m helping you examine your podcast to answer that “Why am I not selling?” question. We’ll look into whether or not your content is aligned, why there is such a thing as “too much” educational content and guest interviews, and more. Don’t be discouraged if you’re not meeting your membership sales goals. We can help you get back on track.

This might be hard to believe, but even though I run a business employing editors and writers that produce dozens of podcast episodes a week… for the longest time, I still did all the production for my own show by myself. Like seriously all of it, and yes, it did take hours.

In this episode, I am discussing visualizing the customer pathway as the ideal client. The client path is about how to lead your listeners from podcast episodes to products and services. There are a lot of steps we take to get our listeners to become customers, but once they are customers, are we continuing to help guide them as clients?
We’re discussing how to continue the path beyond becoming a client. To widen your customer base, you need to help your client take the next best step in their pathway, as well as continue to deepen the relationship. This is done with an authentic look at how to provide follow-up to clients and listeners, using your podcast as this central pivot point to solve the client’s pain point.

The idea of making money with your podcast is one of the prime reasons you’re producing a podcast. This, of course, begs the question: should I get sponsors on my show? Why not make money in addition to the work you’re already putting in? Is there a downside?
In this episode, I’m explaining why it’s better not to have sponsors on your podcast! (Hint: it takes a lot of clicks to profit.) Yes, turn down that sponsorship for mattresses! By focusing on your own brand and promoting your own materials, you’re able to make that money for yourself rather than sending your listeners to someone else!

[00:01:12] The question that just keeps coming up in calls and with our clients

You’ve set up your online business. You have a great sales page, excellent copy, good reviews, and you’ve got your podcast going with a solid listener base… but those listeners aren’t turning into customers. And for small business podcasters, that’s a frustrating problem–but the solutions might be simpler than you think!
In today’s episode, I’m walking you through four common reasons that your podcast might not be turning listeners into customers–and ways you can fix those problems.

“I wish my download numbers were higher.” It’s a sentiment we keep hearing over and over from clients at Wild Home Podcasting. And honestly, who doesn’t? But download numbers don’t tell the whole story about whether or not your podcast is successful, and the energy we spend focusing on that one single metric is often better spent elsewhere.
In today’s episode, I’m laying out why download numbers are a little bit of a vanity metric especially for small and online business podcasters, why focusing on downloads can distract you from the important work you should do to make your podcast more impactful for your business, and how to maximize the return you get from the downloads you have currently.
What’s in this episode:
[02:24] Why podcasters get so hung up on download numbers… and why that might be distracting you from more important questions around your podcast
[04:02] Why the podcast landscape is different than it used to be, and so is the way we look at and interpret download numbers
[05:47] Why the “if you build it, they will come” mentality doesn’t work anymore
[09:19] How we should be spending more time working on the parts of podcasting we can control first–and worrying about download numbers second
[12:24] Two things I want you to think about when you look at your download numbers

You know you’re going to launch a podcast for your online business. You have a name picked out, you’ve got your first few episodes planned, and maybe you even have cover art mocked up. That’s all the big stuff, right?
All of that is important and necessary for your podcast, but, the thing is, if you actually want your podcast to work effectively for you and your business, there are some other questions you need to answer before your launch.
In today’s episode, I’m going to walk you through a few of those big things you need to consider, from how to determine the goal of your podcast (specifically, not generally), how you’re going to use your podcast in your overall marketing plan, and why you need to find a rhythm for your podcast so you can stay consistent.

[03:02] How to figure out your goals for the podcast and how to track if you’re reaching those goals

When you’re in the beginning stages of launching a podcast, especially a DIY launch, done is better than perfect, right? You can’t get too hung up on perfection, or else your show will never get launched. And that makes sense when you’re just starting out, but what about when you’re 25, 50, or 100 episodes in?
If you haven’t updated your podcast since that launch, it’s probably time to run a little audit and make sure that all of your podcast materials are still supporting the current goals of your business. So in today’s episode, I’m walking you through the areas to look at when doing a self-audit for your podcast, why this process can be a growth opportunity for your show and your business, and the service we offer if you feel you need a little extra help with this process.
What’s in this episode:
[01:54] Why in the podcast launch phase, sometimes “done” is better than “perfect”
[05:17] How to do a self-audit for your podcast and update the things that might not be serving your show anymore
[08:37] How to make sure your podcast is actually showing up on all the right platforms
[09:51] Why you should think about a refresh as a growth opportunity for your podcast

What are you doing with that content after your episode is published? Are you using it to drive the rest of the marketing in your business? Are you using it to point back to your business so you can actually grow your revenue?
If you’re not loving your answer to any of these questions, this episode is for you. I’m talking about how you can use your podcast to make content creation easier and your marketing simpler by using the content you already create each week to drive your business. Let’s dive in!

Okay, it’s time to answer this honestly: Do you have a podcast strategy? Not a vibe or a motivation or a workflow, but an actual plan and map laid out for how your podcast will bring in leads and clients and function as a driver in your business?
In today’s episode, I’m sharing what a podcast strategy is and why it's so important to have one. Instead of treating your podcast as a small piece of your marketing that you post about here and there whenever an episode comes out, you can make your podcast the foundational piece of your business. And by focusing on your podcast, you can save time, attract and educate more aligned clients, and clearly lead them through their buyer’s journey, so that when they reach out to you, they're ready to book right away.
I’m also sharing some of the steps we take at Wild Home Podcasting to plan out podcast strategy for us and for our clients, from the audit process to tracking the buyer’s journey through your content to making updates to your strategy periodically as your business evolves and grows. Feeling confident in your podcast strategy and having a plan to implement it can transform your business and keep you focused on the things that really move the needle.

There’s a false perception that a podcast has to be corporate and perfectly polished, with radio voices and professional announcements. It can feel intimidating for someone wanting to start a podcast for their business. Thankfully, this perception is changing. You don’t need fancy voice overs or ads or any of that—you just need to show up exactly as you are.
In today’s episode, I’m talking about what it means to be wildly authentic and how it helps you build your business and connect with your audience. You don’t have to pretend to be someone else to get listeners. That only leads to burn out while you try to keep up with the image you’ve created.
Your listeners want to hear what you have to say. They want to get to know you. You’ll feel better about your messaging and the clients you attract if you just be yourself. It may sound easier said than done, but that’s why the team at Wild Home Podcasting is here to help you create a podcast you can be proud of—in all its wildly authentic glory.
What’s in this episode:
- How podcasting is changing for the better
- Why it’s important to be authentic as a podcaster promoting your business
- Connecting with your listeners by being yourself
- How we encourage authenticity with our clients
- How a podcast can help you clarify your business messaging
- The burnout that comes with trying to be someone you’re not

When I talk to podcasters, the first thing they usually say is, “I want to grow my podcast and get a sponsor.” For business owners, this isn’t always the best strategy. So today, I wanted to chat about the word “monetization” and why I think we need to reframe it.
This episode is geared towards business owners who have a podcast as part of their marketing strategy. Right away, the goal shouldn’t be to monetize but direct leads which will in turn, earn money, right?
Listen in as I break down how to think differently about your podcast, systems you need to have set up to make it work for you and why you shouldn’t be afraid to sell your products and services on your podcast. I even touch on how to think about the investment in your podcast. It’s all about changing our mindset and reframing!

It’s January which means your social media feed is probably slammed with people celebrating goals reached last year, new goals they have set and even people choosing their word for the year.
But how do we apply goal setting to podcasting? The knee jerk reaction is to set goals around download numbers, but I want to challenge you to set goals that will propel your podcast forward in the long term.
So on today’s episode, I’m breaking down how to set meaningful goals for your podcast. I’m talking about non-number goals that will create momentum and help you create a podcast that will last.

Podcasting as a business owner doesn’t mean constantly selling. It’s so much more than that: it’s about your audience, clients, and potential customers getting to know you and what you are about. Lindsey Johnson recently launched her podcast, the Legacy Entrepreneur, and in the process had a few surprises!
In this episode, we dive into her launch, the surprising results that resulted in her starting a podcast and we even chat for a minute about homeschooling! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
Meet Lindsey Johnson:

This often gets overlooked when you are starting a podcast and I think it is so so important! You need to be able to have something to go back to and measure all of your decisions and choices against as your podcast grows. We’ve started having our Launch Intensives work on this specifically because it is so impactful to developing and sustaining a podcast long-term.
What am I talking about is your Mission Statement. Do you have a mission statement for your podcast? You probably have a description but how can we refine that? Listen in and take some notes so you can start to craft your podcast’s mission statement.

I’ve been seeing a lot of chatter in the podcasting world about pivoting your podcast or simply stopping your podcast while we get through this global pandemic. Today I’m chatting about why I think both of those are bad ideas!
So last week when I was feeling tired, anxious and stressed, I decided to take a week off from the podcast and re-evaluate what direction I wanted to go and I invite you to do the same.
Now is not the time to make knee jerk decisions or stop sharing your voice. The world needs you and it needs a distraction that podcasting offers. So listen in for some alternative ideas and some encouragement to keep your podcast going.
If you need further help with your podcast, head to wildhomepodcasting.com/strategy and let me know how I can help!

When I started podcasting, I had a lot of doubts and a lack of confidence in myself and my voice. It’s completely normal to feel this way. However, we don’t have to stay stuck in that place. I don’t want your doubts and fears to be the thing that keeps you from sharing your story and getting your voice onto a podcast.
Remember, you have a unique voice and story and it is begging to be heard! I believe that there is room for everyone in the podcasting space and if you are feeling unsure about your message and voice, we are here for you.

I get asked all the time, “Should I have a podcast for my business?” Of course my answer is always going to be yes because I love podcasts but I really want to break it down for you so if you do start a podcast for your business, it is working to move your business forward.
Let’s start with a question: What is the purpose of the podcast? Is is just to share behind the scenes or are you hoping to generate revenue from the podcast by capturing new clients? You can really do both if you are strategic about it and think it through before diving into sharing content.
Listen in for more info on why I think business podcasts can really work!

I was drawn to podcasting because I could do it from home and that’s really what we love to do here at Wild Home Podcasting is work with podcasters who are recording at home. So I thought today I would share some of my favorite tips for podcasting at home.
Now this is hitting at a super funny time. I’m actually losing my office this year and thought I would experiment with recording in a different location in my home. There were SO many interruptions, noises and things that I did not normally encounter in my office. So, back to the drawing board.
But, I hope this episode helps you if you are thinking about recording at home or maybe want to improve what you have going on.

It’s January which means your social media feed is probably slammed with people celebrating goals reached last year, new goals they have set and even people choosing their word for the year.
But how do we apply goal setting to podcasting? The knee jerk reaction is to set goals around download numbers, but I want to challenge you to set goals that will propel your podcast forward in the long term.
So on today’s episode, I’m breaking down how to set meaningful goals for your podcast. I’m talking about non-number goals that will create momentum and help you create a podcast that will last.

One of my favorite things to help people launch their podcasts. Starting a podcast is like a dream for some people. They think about it for a year, maybe more and when they come to us, they just need that extra push.
So it’s incredibly ironic that it’s taken me over six months to launch the Wild Home Podcast. I’ve had two podcasts and both seemed to flow pretty easily, but this one was a challenge for me. At every turn, I hit a roadblock and these challenges kept me from actually doing the thing.
What’s even more ironic is that all of these roadblocks are things that I talk about ALL. THE. DANG. TIME. and how to overcome them. So when I started really thinking about what was keeping me from starting the podcast, I started to realize that I had become my own client.
So in this episode, I’m breaking down the roadblocks I hit and that a lot of my clients hit and how to deal with them. I hope they help you overcome your own fears and roadblock. Enjoy!
