Cat McDonald

I’m Cat! 👋🏽 I manage podcasts and YouTube channels for ​energy healers, retreat hosts, and world travelers. I’m also a ​mom, a vegetable hunter, and a Reiki practitioner.


I’d love to help you launch and manage your podcast and/or ​your YouTube channel so you can be discovered by your ​audience and sell more of your services.





Services I provide include:


  • Setting up RSS feeds and YouTube channels
  • Editing podcast episodes to improve sound quality and remove filler words
  • Writing SEO-optimized show notes and summaries
  • Uploading episodes to podcast host (adding ID3 tags)
  • Creating social media graphics and short videos
  • Uploading YouTube videos with SEO-optimized descriptions and tags
  • Managing YouTube channels for growth


My background, in a nutshell


I'm a Brown University and London Film School grad who interned at NPR after ​earning a master’s in interactive journalism. (I love learning new things!)


I’ve worked in digital content production for over a decade, primarily for membership ​organizations. Now I offer my services to solopreneurs and business owners.
