WHEN DO THE 1:1 CONSULTATION SESSIONS HAPPEN?
Sessions are scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 11 am and 3pm ET. You’ll select your date and time after the first invoice is paid along with your questionnaire.
WHAT CAN WE TALK ABOUT DURING OUR CONSULTATION CALL?
Almost anything related to your podcast, social media, marketing, PR, branding, or creative project. You might want help planning a launch, improving your recording process, creating sponsorship packages, troubleshooting your social media, refining your messaging, preparing for guest outreach, or simply getting a second opinion on an idea. You bring the questions and Brenda will work through them with you.
DO I NEED TO HAVE A PODCAST TO WORK WITH YOU?
Not at all. While podcasting is one area of our expertise, our consulting extends to social media, marketing, PR, branding, guest booking, content, creative workflows, and business systems. Your project doesn't have to fit into one specific category. If you're working on something and need an experienced perspective, we can help.
IS THIS A STRATEGY SESSION?
No. These are consulting sessions, not formal strategy-development engagements. Instead of coming in with a predetermined strategy or framework, you bring the questions, challenges, or decisions you're currently facing. You and Brenda can talk through them together and she’ll provide personalized recommendations, ideas, and practical next steps.

CAN CONSULTING HELP ME IF I’M FEELING OVERWHELMED?
Absolutely! Many founders know what they want to build; they simply need help organizing ideas, prioritizing next steps, and creating systems that make their projects sustainable. Our goal is to help you refine your vision, streamline your process, and confidently move forward.
WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY CONSULTATION CALL?
Bring whatever you're currently working on or thinking through. That could be a podcast, social media account, marketing campaign, sponsorship package, guest outreach, launch, or creative workflow. You can also simply bring a list of questions or challenges you'd like to discuss. There are no "wrong" questions.
CAN I STILL BOOK A SESSION TO HELP ME DECIDE IF I WANT TO START A PODCAST OR NOT?
Absolutely! We recommend booking a single session where our founder, Brenda, will ask questions to help you determine if podcasting is the right next step for you and your business or project.
WILL YOU REVIEW MY MATERIALS?
Yes—depending on the consulting package you choose. For the Consulting Intensive, you can bring specific assets or materials for Brenda to review, such as social media profiles, podcast materials, sponsorship packages, marketing materials, branding, outreach emails, or workflows. Brenda will provide feedback and recommendations to help you refine and improve what you've already built.
WHAT IF I’M NEW TO PODCASTING — WILL THIS STILL HELP ME?
Yes! Our founder, Brenda, loves doing sessions with new or aspiring podcasters. During your sessions, Brenda can focus on helping you refine your podcast concept, plan your content, or strategize your launch.
WHAT WILL I RECEIVE AFTER MY CONSULTATION?
After your session, you'll receive a custom Notion Dashboard containing your call recording, organized notes, step-by-step action items, recommended resources, and personalized next steps based on your conversation. For ongoing consulting clients, your dashboard will continue to evolve throughout your engagement.
WHAT IF MY PODCAST ISN’T MAKING MONEY — DOES THIS MEAN IT’S NOT WORTH INVESTING IN?
Not necessarily. Podcasts offer value beyond revenue, they build your brand, connect you with your audience, and support your business. You and Brenda can explore how your podcast can better serve your goals and discuss monetization strategies if desired.
CAN I ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT MULTIPLE AREAS DURING ONE CALL?
Absolutely! Your consultation doesn't have to focus exclusively on one topic. For example, you might want to discuss your podcast for part of the call and then get feedback on your social media or sponsorship strategy. Brenda will prioritize the topics that will be most useful to you during your time together.
WHICH CONSULTING PACKAGE IS RIGHT FOR ME?
If you have one specific challenge or need expert perspective on your next move, the Fundamental Consultation Session is a great place to start.
If you'd like ongoing support and accountability as your project develops, the Ongoing Consulting package gives you monthly access for three months.
If you want frequent, more hands-on feedback and an experienced set of eyes on your actual project or materials, the Consulting Intensive is the best fit.
CAN CONSULTING HELP IF I DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I NEED?
Yes and that's actually a great reason to book a consultation. You don't need to arrive with everything figured out. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about your next move, during your call with Brenda, she will help you identify the challenge, explore your options, and determine practical next steps.
IS THIS CONSULTING ONLY FOR BUSINESSES?
No. Ellas Media works with founders, entrepreneurs, creators, podcasters, authors, speakers, organizations, and teams. If you're building something meaningful and want an experienced creative and media professional to talk it through with, this consulting is designed for you.
