At the end of 2025, two top podcasters, Jenna Kutcher and Katie Gatti Taussin, ended their shows after publishing consistently for years.

Their reasons were similar —

Both mentioning something along the lines of making space for other things…although they both didn’t have plans for what the “other things” were.

This made me think about the relationship between consistency and evolution.

In our culture, we are rewarded for consistency:

We get better at what we do
Likely becomes easier the more we do it
People around us know what to expect (whether that’s our family, co-workers, or an audience)

But these two women reminded us to not forget about evolving too.

When something is no longer serving us or we need to let it go to make space for other things, that is ok.

When we are deeply ingrained in the consistency of something, it’s ok to listen to that little voice in our head that says:

“I think there is more than this” — even if we don’t know what the next thing is.

By removing something, we could be making room for something even better than we could imagine.

So thank you Jenna and Katie for reminding us that even after a long run of consistency, it’s ok to evolve too. I can’t wait to see what you do next!
