Podcasting is an excellent way for Caribbean women to find, shape, and use their voices on the global stage. But podcast burnout can come quickly without planning for expected or unexpected realities. Dianne Squires of the Island Woman Podcast and Mialisa Garnes of the Wellness & Growth Journeys Podcast, with over 70 episodes between them, talk about podcast burnout, how it happens, how to avoid it and the tech tools they use to streamline their processes.

The Island Woman podcast is back for Season 4, and we’re kicking off with a special International Women’s Day collab episode with the Wellness & Growth Journeys podcast with my fellow Island Woman podcaster Mialisa Garnes. We’re covering “Caribbean Women Find Your Voice” using the power of podcasting in two parts. On the Island Woman podcast, we’re revealing the realities of podcast burnout and the tech we’ve been using to simplify our processes. On the Wellness and Growth Journeys Podcast channel, we talk about how we got started in podcasting, what visibility via podcasting has meant for us and how it can go beyond personal branding to be economically empowering. Start here and then head over to the Wellness & Growth Journeys podcast to get the full conversation.

Fresh off the release of SSG’98, Herc pulled up for a real one. We spoke about life since our last conversation, the challenges he faced, how he pushed through, and the support system that kept him grounded through it all.

He unpacked the making of SSG’98, the features on the album, the intention behind the sound, and where he’s headed next, both musically and in his business ventures.

Growth. Accountability. Vision. This is more than just an album rollout; it’s evolution in real time. Tap in and catch the full conversation.
