EP 20: A Candid Conversation on Podcasting with Nikki Corbett

Episode 20: A Candid Conversation on Podcasting with Nikki Corbett
Hosted by Katelyn Calhoun

This week’s episode is a special bonus continuation with the luminous Nikki Corbett—podcaster, speaker, and powerhouse. During our first conversation (Episode 18), we found ourselves deep in a meta rabbit hole about podcasting: what it takes, why we do it, and how it evolves.

So we pulled the selects—and this candid, behind-the-scenes look at life as a podcast host was compiled for your enjoyment.

We talk about the long game of podcasting, brand pivots, getting inspired by your guests, and letting go of perfectionism in order to actually hit publish. Whether you're a fellow creator or just curious about the messy magic behind the mic, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

🎙 How Nikki’s podcasting journey began post-divorce
🧩 Why the best shows evolve—and how to let yours do the same
📈 The emotional rollercoaster of releasing your 10th episode
🎧 Audio quality, scheduling, burnout, and the pressure to be perfect
🔥 Why showing up is more powerful than sounding polished
🌟 The stories worth telling (even when they don’t go viral)
