Everything I use (and love) to run my podcast + business—without working around the clock.
Running a business as a busy mom means I don’t have time for tools that are clunky, confusing, or just plain extra. Below you’ll find my tried-and-true favorites for podcasting and business. These tools help me streamline, automate, and keep things running smoothly—so I can focus on what matters most (like my family and my clients).
Whether you’re just starting out or ready to scale, these are the tools I use to simplify every part of my podcast workflow:
🎤 Samson Q2U Microphone
My go-to mic for high-quality sound without the high price tag. Plug it in and you’re good to go—perfect for beginners and busy moms alike.
💻 Descript
My favorite all-in-one tool for editing, transcribing, and even repurposing my episodes. It saves me hours each week and makes editing feel way less intimidating.
📹 Riverside.FM
If you’re doing guest interviews, Riverside is a game changer. Studio-quality video and audio recording—even when your guest is in their pajamas halfway across the country.
🤖 ChatGPT
Yep, I use AI in my podcast workflow! From drafting episode outlines to writing show notes and promo copy, this tool is like having a virtual content assistant on hand.
📡 Buzzsprout
My podcast hosting platform of choice. It’s user-friendly, reliable, and gives you all the tools to track your growth, publish episodes, and manage your show with ease.
🎬 Opus Clips
Want bite-sized video clips from your episodes for Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts? This AI tool pulls highlight reels from your content so you can show up everywhere without doing more.
Here’s what I use behind the scenes to keep my business organized, automated, and scalable—especially in my 20-hour workweeks:
📑 Dubsado
The ultimate client management system. From contracts to invoices to automated workflows, Dubsado helps me deliver a smooth client experience with less hands-on time.
📌 ClickUp
My digital brain. ClickUp keeps all my tasks, timelines, launches, and team communication in one place so I never feel like I’m juggling too many tabs (or balls).
📊 Airtable
The tool I use for content planning, client tracking, and even summit organization. Think of it as a spreadsheet… but prettier and way more powerful.
💬 Zoom
You already know it—but it’s still a staple for coaching calls, team meetings, and virtual events.
🎨 Canva
From podcast graphics to lead magnet design, Canva is my go-to for creating polished visuals without needing a degree in design.
