Potent Systems: A Prolific Podcaster on How Not to Quit with Chelsea Riffe
How do you create a podcast consistently for over five years without resenting the process or the system that’s supposed to support your creative output?
This week we’re lucky to be joined by the prolific podcast coach and creator, Chelsea Riffe, who so graciously lets us in on what systems she’s created in order to run her business with increased clarity and ease.

“When you listen to someone who’s really good at asking the really good questions and getting people to spill, that is a skill. It takes time and takes practice.”
“People don’t realize that they’re already impressive. The fact that you’re just showing up, honestly, it’s already way more impressive than most people, and you have to own that.”
“Now when I create content, it’s much more thoughtful, it’s much more researched, and I have more opinionated stances on it.”
“People just want to hear from you, and they want consistency. They don’t need you to deliver expert-level industry professional advice.”
“System Spells is our class under the Notion for Magical Baddies universe where we teach you, squiggly brained listeners, like us, how to use systems to help you thrive.”
“If we’re caught up in admin tasks, our creative brains basically turn off like we can’t come up with that juicy stuff that people love about us.”
“It’s weird to think that I’ve committed to something this long because I’ve never committed to anything this long. And I think it just shows when you find a medium that works for you, you want to keep being consistent.”
“My most downloaded episodes are the one where I talked to my sister about dating, where my mom came in to give advice around dating — not all these expert interviews and influencers and authors.”
