Tips and strategies for marriage and raising children from a counselors point of view

My name is Frank Sasso, I'm a licensed mental health counselor and clinical hypnotherapist out of Chicago, IL. My podcast focuses on everyday issues parents face. This includes within their own relationship as a spouse/partner and the struggles faced as being parents. Sometimes I do shows about self-help from a therapists perspective. Other times I focus on some of the challenges of being a parent myself.

The listeners to my show are moms and dads - between ages 30-50.
 

I enjoy doing a podcast because I have the opportunity to talk to other parents. The show also allows me the chance to expand the walls of my clinical practice as a mental health therapist.

Yes, I do listen to podcasts. I tend to listen to parenting type shows. I also enjoy podcasts about science and and preparedness. Also, educational podcasts.
 

I release new episodes bi-weekly.

I find time to do my podcast by blocking off a few hours each week. I do all the writing, editing and marketing of the show. I'm also the show host. I'm a one man podcast.

I fund the show myself. I don't make any money on it.
 

I am thinking of taking a sponsorship. I haven't yet.
 

I use Audacity. I use a $40 microphone. I haven't had any guests yet.
 

Instagram, Facebook.
 

I would say make sure you do a pod about something your passionate about. Also, it helps to have a script.
