#148 - How Much Should You ACTUALLY Listen To Your Audience’s Feedback?

Listener feedback feels like gold—but is it always? In today’s episode, I’m sharing the tricky balance between taking feedback seriously and staying true to your vision. Not every comment warrants a change—and even helpful reviews can shake your confidence. I’ll walk you through how I’ve handled criticism, what I’ve learned from it, and how to keep growing your show without losing yourself in the process.
