71. How podcasts can turn hosts into agents of change for themselves and their communities

Written By Ana Xavier

Have you ever wondered if by creating podcast episodes you're adding to the internet noise... or perhaps you're lacking motivation because you're not having the ripple effects you were expecting with your content?

Let me share that podcasts can become effective tools for change during times of personal, social, and political unrest. So in this episode of The Podcast Space, I invited Yesenia Bocanegra, host of the Focus and Bloom podcast to dive into the concept of fostering community through podcasts and the ripple effects of even the smallest actions.

Yesenia shares her personal journey of overcoming limiting beliefs and the power of authenticity in content creation. The conversation also touches on the importance of encouragement and support among creators, especially women. The biggest takeaway of this episode is perhaps the significance of pursuing one's (podcast) passion and the unexpected positive impact it can have on others.
