How to Deal With Insecurity in Podcasting

How Does Insecurity Affect Podcasters?

  • People seek validation and acceptance to meet their need to feel significant.

  • They end up creating content based on what others care about, rather than what they want to share.

  • Then, they fight against themselves to try and get the best results.

  • Social media amplifies their insecurity even more because of its instant feedback technology.

  • Insecurity can sometimes help people achieve things; however, this type of motivation often leads to feeling as empty as before.

Seven Essential Practices in Overcoming Insecurity

  • Step into the light and name your problem.

  • Be 100% responsible for what is happening to you.

  • Stack the pain and feel it.

  • Have a compelling vision for your life.

  • Get help from someone who doesn’t care about you.

  • Be the hero.

  • Rewrite the story.

Dealing with Haters and Bad Reviews and Comments

  • Read the bad comments.

  • Don’t take anything personally.

  • Evaluate both the good and bad comments to understand what their goal is.

  • Surround yourself with people who would give you some good quality and honest feedback.

  • Use constructive feedback to improve.

Staying True to Your Cause

  • Trust your judgment and opinions.

  • Be aware of your imperfections.

  • Know and follow what you want.
