If you've been wondering how many podcast guest episodes you should be doing vs. solo episodes, this one is for you!

In this episode of The Rhythm of the Road Podcast, we've got another entry in our Power of Podcasting series! Today, we’re getting into one of the most common (and crucial) questions podcast hosts ask: What’s the right ratio of guest episodes to solo episodes? Whether you're just starting out or looking to realign your content strategy, this episode offers real advice from the frontlines of podcast production.

I'm sharing my go-to formula and why it’s helped me and my clients stay consistent, energized, and always ready when things don’t go as planned. I'm getting real with you about the pros and cons of relying too heavily on guests, how to bank episodes in advance, and why solo episodes can actually reconnect you to your voice and message. If you're ready to avoid burnout, build a backlog of content, and keep your momentum strong, this is a must-listen.

Ever been told you’re “playing mind games”?

In this episode of The Rhythm of the Road Podcast, I'm flipping that idea on its head and showing you how mind games aren’t just manipulative, they can be powerful tools for personal and professional growth.
