344 - Social Media Took Down Your Podcast Account…Now What?

Show Notes

What would you do if your podcast’s Instagram account were banned for no good reason? That’s what happened to the host of Dopey, a podcast about addiction and recovery. Today, we discuss what led to the ban, how he’s responding, and what creators can do when platforms get it wrong. Later, community member Paula shares the emotional toll and what it feels like to be recognized for your work but still feel like a fraud. We explore imposter syndrome, accepting success, and figuring out what paths actually feel right. If you’ve ever felt pulled between outside pressure and your own direction, this conversation will hit home.
