Communication Queen | entrepreneurship, marketing, storytelling, public speaking, and podcasting

What happens when everything you thought defined you—your marriage, your career, your home—vanishes in a single day?   For Whitney Joy, a sixth-generation farm girl turned adrenaline junkie, that collapse wasn’t the end. It was the initiation. In this raw and radiant conversation, Whitney shares how losing it all became the portal to discovering her intuition, reclaiming her truth, and writing her debut book, The Cure for a Broken Heart.   Kimberly Spencer, your unapologetically empowering host of the Communication Queens Podcast, dives deep with Whitney into the messy middle of transformation—where grief collides with manifestation, where surrender must dance with aligned action, and where vulnerability meets fierce boundaries.   This isn’t just a conversation about writing a book. It’s about the universal story arc we’re all living: facing resistance, embracing evolution, and daring to trust the unknown. Whitney’s journey mirrors skydiving—terrifying before the jump, but euphoric once you surrender to the freefall.   If you’ve ever wrestled with imposter syndrome, resisted your own visibility, or wondered whether your story matters, this episode will meet you right where you are. And spoiler: your story not only matters—it’s medicine. 📚Grab the “Top Books of 2024 to Change Your Life,” the bestseller, multi-gold-medal award-winner, “Make Every Podcast Want You” by Kimberly Spencer.

Take the FREE Quiz here: https://www.communicationqueens.com/quiz ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Ever been told, “Shhh… don’t say that,” when all you wanted was to tell the truth of your lived experience? In this fiery episode of the Communication Queens podcast, Kimberly Spencer pulls back the curtain on a topic many visionary leaders whisper about behind closed doors — medical gaslighting — and how to strategically SHARE your story without getting swept up in the cancellation culture crossfire. Because here’s the deal, Queen: your story is powerful… until someone labels it “too personal,” “too controversial,” or “too much.” So how do you stand out loud and proud for what you believe in, without losing your voice (or your audience) in the process? In this enlightening conversation, host, Kimberly Spencer chat with the “Empress of MS,” Wendy Bjork, who shares her journey with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and the importance of effective communication in health advocacy. She discusses the challenges of living with an invisible illness, the power of storytelling, and the necessity of self-advocacy. Wendy emphasizes the significance of understanding one's audience, tracking symptoms, and listening to intuition as vital components of navigating health challenges. The conversation highlights the need for empowerment and the belief that individuals can take charge of their health journeys, regardless of their diagnoses. TAKEAWAYS: Wendy emphasizes the importance of sharing personal stories to connect with others. Invisible illnesses often lead to misconceptions about health and well-being. Mindset plays a crucial role in managing health conditions. Finding the right support groups is essential for healing. Self-advocacy is key in navigating the healthcare system. Tracking symptoms can provide valuable insights into health. Empowerment comes from understanding that individuals can influence their healing. Listening to intuition can guide better health decisions. Communication in health advocacy should be clear and relatable. Just because a diagnosis is given, it doesn't define one's future. By the end, you'll understand why being a polarizing, persuasive podcast guest is not about oversharing — It’s about learning how to frame the fire so it lights the way for your audience — not burns your brand down.

Keywords   podcasting, marketing, entrepreneurship, Frugalpreneur, podcast growth, networking, podcasting community, podcast marketing agency, podcasting tips, podcast success Summary   In this engaging conversation, the hosts discuss the intricacies of podcast marketing, the importance of building relationships within the podcasting community, and the journey of the Frugalpreneur podcast. They explore the challenges faced by podcasters, the significance of investing in quality equipment and networking opportunities, and the value of sharing personal stories and failures. The discussion highlights the supportive nature of the podcasting industry and the potential for growth and collaboration among podcasters.   Sarah talks about podcast marketing, and the things that podcasters typically get wrong. She explains that simply sharing the podcast on social media is not enough, and that there are other ways to reach a podcast audience, such as paid ads, collaborations, and podcast guesting. She also shares her own experience with starting her podcast, The Frugalpreneur, and how it unexpectedly became a top 200 podcast in the entrepreneurship category.    Sarah emphasizes the importance of enjoying the process and not being obsessed with rankings They discuss the impact of being in the Apple Podcast essentials list, and how it can increase visibility and listenership. Sarah shares her checklist for creating eye-catching cover art, such as bold colors and a focused design that stands out while scrolling through podcast apps. They also talk about the power of relationships and credibility that come with having a successful podcast. They brainstorm ways to further use the podcast to market the Frugalpreneur brand and services, including creating a mini-series and potentially getting into the New Forget budgeting strategy.    The guest, Sarah, is from the Podcast Marketing Agency, and she talks about her journey in the podcast industry and how she helps podcasters market and grow their shows. She discusses the importance of networking and building relationships in the industry, as well as investing in conferences and high-quality equipment. Sarah also talks about the collaboration vs. competition mentality in the podcast industry and how that can help podcasters grow.  Takeaways   Podcasters often underestimate the importance of marketing beyond social media. Paid advertising in podcast directories can yield better results than social media alone. Networking at podcast conferences is invaluable for building relationships and growing your podcast.   The Frugalpreneur podcast started as a marketing tool for a book but became a successful venture on its own.   The podcasting community is generally supportive and collaborative rather than competitive. Cover art and podcast titles play a crucial role in attracting listeners.   Investing in quality equipment, like a good microphone, is essential for podcast success. Sharing personal stories and failures can create deeper connections with listeners.   Creating a mini-series can be a great way to explore new topics without committing to a full podcast.   The journey of podcasting can lead to unexpected opportunities and growth.

What do you do when your mind betrays you, your body shuts down, and your entire identity shatters into a million questions? In this raw and radiant episode of Communication Queen, I sit down with spiritual coach and former electrical engineer Michall J Medina, who traded algorithms for alchemy after anxiety hijacked her life. From religious conformity in Texas to energetic liberation in Israel, Michall takes us on a jaw-dropping journey through social anxiety, suicidal ideation, trauma therapy, failed prescriptions—and the powerful pivot that cracked open her healing. But this isn’t just about the pain. It’s about the perspective shift that changed everything. Michall breaks down her signature methodology for emotional alchemy—rooted in somatic healing, self-inquiry, and energetic transformation. We dive into the exact moment she stopped seeing herself as broken and started treating her anxiety as a wounded part that needed love, not fixing. You’ll learn how to shift your story, stop looping in healing cycles, and embody the future version of you who’s already free. Plus, I coach Michall live on how to craft her story for maximum impact, positioning, and podcast guest power.

You can also watch the episode on Youtube. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: 1. Your Pain Doesn’t Disqualify You—It Positions You Michall’s story dismantles the lie that you need to “have it all together” before using your voice. Her journey—from sudden social anxiety to suicidal ideation, through therapy, meds, energy healing, and ultimately self-reclamation—is proof that your darkest chapters can become the source of your deepest impact. Takeaway: Stop waiting to be "healed" before speaking up. Your story is powerful because it’s real. 2. The Healing Loop Is Real—And There’s a Way Out This episode uncovers why so many spiritual seekers and high-achieving women get stuck in endless cycles of healing without real breakthroughs. The culprit? Seeing yourself as a problem to fix rather than a human to love. Takeaway: You don’t need another method—you need a new perspective. 3. Emotional Alchemy Is a Learnable Practice Michall shares the 3-part methodology she developed: Identify the emotional trigger Tune into your future self (who’s already free) Ask: Am I actually ready to become her? She then shows how to lovingly shift resistance, instead of pushing through it. Takeaway: Healing isn’t about “doing the work”—it’s about becoming the version of you who no longer needs it. 4. Transformational Storytelling = Embodied Authority Kimberly coaches Michall in real time on how to: Open with expert positioning Use referential index shifts (an NLP technique) Turn personal pain into powerful podcast content Takeaway: You don’t need a new strategy. You need to tell your story in a way that positions your magic from the start. 5. The Right Story Told the Right Way Attracts the Right People The episode isn't just healing—it’s a masterclass in magnetizing your audience through voice, vulnerability, and vision.

Together, they unpack: What “branding from the inside out” really means Why your childhood dreams and cringe moments are branding gold How falling on your ass (literally) can skyrocket your relatability When it’s time to hire professionals to elevate your aesthetic The energetic difference between a business brand vs. personal brand Whether you’re stepping out from behind the biz curtain or ready to stop blending in, this convo is your permission slip to get louder, weirder, and way more YOU—because the world doesn’t need another copycat.

What You’ll Learn in this Episode: Why You Only Need 1,000 True Fans (Not 1 Million Followers) Jamar breaks down the real metric that moves the needle in business: deep, authentic connection. If your fans show up, buy, and share—you win. Period.

The Hidden Cost of Branding Inauthentically When you build a brand that doesn’t reflect who you really are, it creates inner friction, audience confusion, and eventually—burnout. Learn how to course-correct with intention. Branding from the Inside Out Before you hire a stylist, revamp your website, or shoot new headshots—get clear on your story, values, and voice. Jamar shares how to start within so the outside shines right. How to Own the Stage (and Your Story) Whether you’re an ex-rapper or recovering perfectionist, this episode shows how to turn your past performance skills (or awkward moments) into business-building charisma. The Link Between Vulnerability and Visibility Hear why sharing your failures can grow your following faster than curated perfection ever could—and how to do it with integrity, not oversharing. Quotes: "You don’t need a million followers. You need 1,000 ride-or-die fans." ~ Jamar Jones "Your quirks? That thing that makes you weird?

You can also watch the episode on Youtube. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: The Visibility Trap—Exposed You’ll uncover the sneaky lie many entrepreneurs fall for: that more visibility automatically means more sales. Kimberly breaks down why this mindset leads to burnout, not bank.   Why Broadcasting ≠ Converting Posting, podcasting, and showing up isn’t enough if you’re not starting conversations. Learn why broadcasting your brilliance to the masses isn’t as powerful as building intentional, one-on-one connections.   How to Turn Mic Moments into Money You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how Kimberly helps clients use podcast guesting as a strategic sales tool, not just a PR stunt. From pre-interview prep to post-interview follow-up—this is visibility with ROI.   The Follow-Up Fix If you’re ghosting your leads after the spotlight fades, you’re missing the magic. This episode shows how following up turns visibility into relationships—and those into referrals and revenue.   Why You Need “Put a Ring on It” Energy Kimberly breaks down the Queen Energy it takes to confidently ask for the sale. Because if you’re not offering your services, you’re just performing for applause—not income.   Confidence + Competence = Conversion You’ll understand why sales confidence starts with clarity, and how storytelling and sales strategy must dance together to grow your business. Quotes: "You can have all the visibility in the world—but without strategy, it means nothing for your bottom line." ~ Kimberly Spencer   "Visibility without intention is just broadcasting. It’s not conversation. And conversation is what creates conversions." ~ Kimberly Spencer   "If you’re not following up, you’re treating visibility like a one-night stand—and your dream clients want commitment." ~ Kimberly Spencer   Moments of Note: 01:10 – Introduction to the Visibility Trap Why being seen isn’t the same as getting paid—and how so many entrepreneurs get stuck here. 03:49 – The Power of Conversations Over Broadcasting How real connection, not just content blasting, turns visibility into conversion. 05:18 – Aligning Visibility with a Sales Strategy The key mindset shift: Visibility is a tool—not the whole strategy. 05:30 – The Importance of Follow-Up Why ghosting after your mic-drop moment leaves money (and relationships) on the table. 07:29 – Making the Ask and Owning Your Value Visibility won’t help if you’re not making offers. This is where clarity meets confidence. 10:42 – Confidence and Competence in Selling How to build Queen-level conviction in your voice, your offers, and your ability to sell. 12:21 – Final Thoughts and Call to Action Your visibility is valuable—but it only becomes powerful when paired with intention and strategy.

What happens when you chase society’s version of success—only to find yourself burnt out, boxed in, and wondering, “Is this it?” In this audacious episode of The Communication Queens Podcast, Kimberly Spencer chats with powerhouse coach Michelle Pollack, whose mission is to help high-achieving women redefine success from the inside out. From working with brands like Netflix and Bank of America to guiding visionary women leaders, Michelle shares her journey of shaking off the “shoulds,” surrendering perfection, and embracing the beautiful discomfort of beginning again. You’ll hear how motherhood, layoffs, and her own inner work cracked open her next level of purpose—and how allowing herself to take one small step at a time led to a multi-six-figure empire grounded in authenticity. We go deep into the cultural conditioning that keeps women playing small, the truth about imposter syndrome (hint: it’s not a bug—it’s a signal), and how to balance masculine drive with feminine intuition in leadership. Expect bold truth bombs, heartfelt storytelling, and the kind of clarity that lights a fire in your belly. This isn’t about chasing success—it’s about becoming the woman who defines it for herself.   👑 Ready to stop performing and start leading?

You can also watch the episode on Youtube. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: How to Redefine Success on Your Own Terms Society, schooling, and even our families plant early seeds about what “success” should look like. But as we evolve, so must our definitions of success. Michelle invites you to ask: “What do I want now, as the woman I’ve become?”   Why Imposter Syndrome Isn’t a Sign of Failure—But Expansion Feeling like an imposter doesn’t mean you’re not ready—it means you’re growing. That discomfort is a signal you’re stretching into new, powerful territory. Reframe: If it feels scary, you’re likely on the right track.   The Power of Being a Beginner (Even When You’re Experienced) High-achievers often resist “starting small.” Michelle shares how embracing the beginner’s mindset—one tiny step at a time—was key to her six-figure success. Letting go of the pressure to “have it all figured out” unlocks long-term growth.   How Feminine & Masculine Energies Shape Your Leadership Michelle introduces “Compassionate Command”—her signature framework blending empathy (feminine) and authority (masculine). True leadership doesn’t require choosing between soft and strong—you get to be both.   Why Boundaries Are Essential to Visibility and Sustainability Saying “no” isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. Michelle discusses how learning to say no helped her grow her business, protect her energy, and serve her clients better.   How to Align Visibility with Your Values Visibility isn’t just about being seen—it’s about being seen for who you really are. Michelle emphasizes value-driven messaging, aligned podcast appearances, and authentic storytelling.   Why Speaking (Not Just Posting) Drives Connection Michelle shares how podcasting and speaking have been her most powerful tools for connection and credibility. If writing content feels draining, use your voice—literally.   Inclusivity in Leadership: It’s Not Just a Women’s Game While Michelle coaches high-achieving women, she discusses how the same principles resonate deeply with men. True change requires everyone at the table—and true leadership welcomes that nuance.   Your Story is Your Superpower Michelle’s own journey—from laid-off exec to thriving coach—demonstrates how your “messy middle” moments can become your magnetic message. Vulnerability isn’t a liability. It’s your visibility edge.   Why Personal Growth is Business Growth Michelle’s story proves that internal work (therapy, mindset, coaching) directly supports external success. Who you become in the process is more valuable than any single milestone.   Transcript: For a full episode transcript, it can be found here: https://www.communicationqueens.com/blog Sharables: For shareable images, quotes, and other social media posts to add some royal sparkle to your socials (with proper tagging and credit, of course), they can be found here.   💕 Say “hi” on social:   Communication Queen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/communicationqueens  Communication Queen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/communicationqueensagency  Communication QueenTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@communicationqueens  Communication Queen Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/communicationqueens/  Communication Queen Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@communicationqueens    🎙Subscribe + Listen to the Communication Queens Podcast here: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/communication-queen-entrepreneurship-marketing-storytelling/id1718540459  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2ROeliYZG9thhNSMEo8SDx?si=abc7b72eb6274d3b&nd=1&dlsi=fb6df192dfbb4505  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8d87938f-bfbc-4dac-a60e-b77b652b344c/communication-queen-entrepreneurship-marketing-storytelling-public-speaking-and-podcasting  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@communicationqueens    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kimberlyspencer.crownyourself/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/realkimspencer  Instagram: https://instagram.com/kimberly.spencer  Linked In: https://linkedin.com/in/kimberlyspencer-crownyourself     AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: This description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this video and support the channel at no cost to you.

What if the story you were afraid to speak… was the one someone desperately needed to hear?   In this raw, radiant, and revealing first-ever podcast interview, I sit down with writer and first-time speaker Leah Vidal Carrosquilla (aka Little Miss Wordy), author of Light Up the Sky—a 365-day devotional crafted for young male athletes craving strength, faith, and self-worth in a world full of noise.   But Queen, this episode is so much more than a chat about publishing a book. It’s a behind-the-scenes breakdown of what it means to transform personal grief into global impact. Leah takes us on an intimate journey from coffee chats with her late mom to hearing God’s nudge to "write the dang thing" for her son—when nothing else on the shelves spoke his language.   You’ll hear how one teacher’s words nearly crushed her writing dreams—and how her own storytelling superpower resurrected them. We explore identity, healing, and what happens when you stop hiding behind the page and start owning your voice (even in a Mad Hatter costume, yep!).   If you’ve ever doubted your right to be heard, THIS is your sign to speak your truth—out loud. 🎧 Press play and let this episode be the permission slip your soul’s been waiting for. 😎Get booked on the TOP 5% of podcasts that can build your brand awareness and your bottom line.

You can also watch the episode on Youtube. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: 🎯 1. When the Resource Doesn't Exist, You Create It Leah couldn't find a devotional designed specifically for teenage boys who are athletes—so she wrote one. 📝 Her son’s offhanded comment ("This is cool, Mom") sparked a realization: boys need spiritual guidance too, but it must be designed for how they think and feel. Takeaway: Sometimes, the solution you're searching for is the one you're meant to build. 💔 2. Grief Can Be the Gateway to Purpose Leah started writing again after losing both her mother and brother. The absence of their morning coffee chats became an ache that eventually transformed into a devotion practice with God—and that daily habit opened the floodgates of healing and creativity. Takeaway: Heartbreak often births the most honest, impactful stories—when we let ourselves write through it. 📚 3. A Single Comment Can Silence… or Ignite A high school English teacher told Leah she wasn't “cut out to be a writer.” That one sentence silenced her voice for years. But eventually, through blogging and journaling, she reclaimed it—and published a book. Takeaway: Be mindful of what you believe about yourself. Even outdated judgments can shape your future—until you rewrite the script. 🎙️ 4. You Don't Have to Be a “Speaker” to Be Heard Leah identified as a writer, not a speaker. But this podcast became her first public speaking platform—and she nailed it by showing up with her authentic voice and storyteller’s heart. Takeaway: You don’t need to be polished. You just need to be present. Your story will do the heavy lifting. 🧠 5. Specificity is What Makes Storytelling Transformational Kimberly praised Leah’s natural ability to speak in vivid, scenic detail. From Halloween parties to Mad Hatter costumes, her stories placed the listener right in the moment. Takeaway: Great storytelling isn't about adding drama. It’s about specificity—painting the picture so others can see themselves inside it. 🛠️ 6. Purpose Evolves—Let It What started as a personal gift for her son and his teammates became a published devotional. The initial vision changed, and the timing wasn’t “perfect”—but it unfolded better than she ever planned. Takeaway: Trust that divine detours are part of the strategy. 👑 7. Moms Don’t Just Birth Babies—They Birth Movements Leah’s identity as a mother became a superpower in her work. Her nurturing nature, her wisdom, her protection—all flowed into her writing. Takeaway: Your life roles are part of your brand power. Use them.   Transcript: For a full episode transcript, it can be found here.

Ever wonder how some entrepreneurs seem to do it all—run thriving brands, parent like a boss, AND stay consistent with their content? In this episode of Communication Queen, Kimberly Spencer pulls back the velvet curtain on the transformational strategy that powers her content machine: the 3:1 Ratio.   What’s the 3:1 Ratio? It’s not just a productivity hack—it’s a QUEEN strategy rooted in storytelling and leverage. Kimberly reveals how one golden nugget from a client convo, podcast ep, or coaching session turns into a kingdom of content—from social posts to email funnels, podcast topics, and beyond.   With three kids (including a newborn), multiple businesses, and a best-selling book on deck, Kimberly walks her talk—and shows you how you can, too. This episode isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing smarter. Simpler. Louder. And in true Queen style: with unapologetic purpose.   Whether you're burnt out from creating one-off content or you're just ready to scale without sacrificing your sanity, this episode will flip the script on how you think about marketing. Grab your crown, press play, and prepare to reign over your content strategy like never before.   👑 Because Queen, your voice wasn’t meant to whisper—it was made to echo through empires.   📚Grab the “Top Books of 2024 to Change Your Life,” the bestseller, multi-gold-medal award-winner, “Make Every Podcast Want You” by Kimberly Spencer.

What You’ll Learn in this Episode: 💡 The 3:1 Ratio is a simple, scalable content creation method: → One idea becomes three powerful content pieces (or more). 👑 Busy isn’t a block—it’s your brilliance in motion. Kimberly shares how motherhood, business, and life made her radically efficient. 🎙️ Real-life convos = content gold. Your client calls, questions, and reflections are already your next podcast, post, or CTA. 🔁 Repurpose like royalty. Don’t create one-off content. Multiply your message across platforms for max impact. ⚙️ Systems create sanity. The 3:1 method isn't just efficient—it's liberating for multi-passionate CEOs and creators. 🧠 Don’t overthink your content—just listen to what’s already working. 🚀 Visibility without burnout is possible when you focus on strategy over struggle. 💬 Your story matters. If it moved one person in a DM, it can reach thousands when you share it publicly. 🎧 Podcast guesting + repurposing = your visibility empire. 🏰 Your voice is your power—so stop keeping it locked in the castle. Claim your mic. Spread your message. Build your legacy.   Quotes: “Your story has the power to save at least one life.” ~ Kimberly Spencer / Guest   “I don’t create more content—I create smarter content.” ~ Kimberly Spencer / Guest   “Podcast guesting is the easiest way to expand your empire without running ads.” ~ Kimberly Spencer / Guest   Transcript: For a full episode transcript, it can be found here.

👑 You say it’s time for a rebrand—but is it really, Queen? Or are you just dodging the next big leap in your business by tweaking your Canva templates? In this bold, truth-telling episode of the Communication Queens podcast, Kimberly Spencer breaks down the difference between a transformational rebrand and a cleverly disguised form of entrepreneurial sabotage. With her signature mix of high-performance coaching, storytelling magic, and cheeky real-talk, Kimberly guides you through powerful questions to ask yourself before investing another minute (or dollar) in a rebrand. You’ll discover the energetic difference between evolution and avoidance, why so many visionary leaders unconsciously use rebranding as a procrastination tool, and how to tell if your “new vibe” is actually aligned with your future clients—or alienating your current ones. Whether you’re pivoting, refining, or reimagining your brand identity, this episode will help you own your story, honor your audience, and stop chasing shiny marketing squirrels. Because your voice is your power. So why keep it locked in the castle? 🎧 Hit play, Queen.

You can also watch the episode on Youtube. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: 1. Rebranding Can Be a Creative Distraction Many entrepreneurs are drawn to rebrands because they feel exciting and new. However, they often serve as a distraction from deeper, more difficult decisions like raising prices, launching a new offer, or refining messaging. Rebrands can sometimes be a form of self-sabotage, especially when you're already gaining momentum. 2. Structure Isn’t a Box—It’s a Framework Branding isn’t about boxing you in; it’s about giving structure to your identity and story. This structure creates cohesion in how you present yourself visually and narratively. You can still evolve and expand your brand over time, without needing to start from scratch. 3. Ask the Right Questions Before You Rebrand Kimberly suggests three powerful reflection points: Are you rebranding to attract new clients or simply to express yourself creatively? Will the new brand alienate your current, paying audience? Do you have clarity on the audience you're pivoting toward? 4. A Messaging Refresh Might Be All You Need Sometimes the brand doesn’t need a total overhaul—just a refinement in storytelling or positioning. Your offer might not be a full pivot, but rather an extension of what you already do. 5. Beware of “Shiny Object Syndrome” Entrepreneurs often jump to something new the moment something starts working. This “goalpost moving” leads to abandoning systems and audiences that are already working well. The episode encourages staying focused and building on existing success before making drastic changes. 6. Your Story Is the Core of Your Brand Ultimately, your transformation and message are what make your brand powerful. A rebrand should enhance—not mask—your story. Share authentically and boldly, because your story has the power to impact and even save lives. Quotes: “Your voice is your power—so why are you keeping it locked in the castle?” ~ Kimberly Spencer   “You’re not being boxed in, Queen—you’re being structured to expand.” ~ Kimberly Spencer   “You don’t need a new color palette. You need to own your story.” ~ Kimberly Spencer Moments of Note: 00:00 – Intro: Is It Time to Rebrand Your Business or Just Refine It? Kimberly Spencer opens the episode with the key question: does your business truly need a rebrand, or are you being distracted from what matters? She sets the stage for a deep dive into business growth and brand evolution.   01:25 – Quick Visibility Tip: Why Pod Match is a Must for Guesting A plug for Pod Match as a visibility and marketing tool. Kimberly highlights why it’s a featured recommendation in her best-selling book and how it helps clients land podcast interviews.   03:00 – Rebranding Reality: You’re More Than a Box Kimberly recounts a client story about the fear of being boxed in by branding. She reframes branding as necessary structure rather than confinement, emphasizing that personal evolution can still fit within a brand framework.   05:20 – The Real Reason Rebrands Feel Exciting (But Can Be a Trap) Rebrands often feel like a breakthrough moment, but Kimberly warns they can also serve as a form of avoidance. Instead of tackling tough business moves (like raising prices or refining offers), entrepreneurs may gravitate toward the “fun” of visuals and templates.   07:45 – Critical Questions Before You Rebrand This segment offers key reflective prompts: Are you rebranding to express creativity or attract clients? Will your current audience still resonate with your new direction? Could the rebrand alienate existing momentum? This is where Kimberly unpacks how rebranding can unintentionally sabotage progress.   10:30 – Bridging the Gap: Messaging That Connects Old and New A discussion on refining your messaging rather than overhauling your entire brand. Kimberly suggests that often, a tweak—not a total transformation—is what’s needed to move forward with clarity and continuity.   12:20 – Entrepreneurial Shiny Object Syndrome & Goalpost Moving Kimberly calls out a common entrepreneurial pitfall—jumping ship too early. She likens rebranding prematurely to switching vehicles mid-journey. The key takeaway: double down on what’s working instead of starting from scratch.   14:40 – Rebrand or Extension? Make the Right Strategic Move She encourages a practical review: is your new offer a pivot or simply a natural extension of what you already do? This determines whether a full rebrand is necessary—or just a messaging refresh.   16:00 – Closing Pep Talk: Your Story Saves Lives Kimberly closes with an empowering reminder: your story and your brand have the power to make an impact. Whether you’re refining or rebranding, share boldly and let your transformation speak.   17:30 – Outro: Get Visible and Make Every Podcast Want You Final shout-outs for Kimberly’s book “Make Every Podcast Want You”, encouragement to subscribe, and calls to follow Communication Queens Agency on social media.   Transcript: For a full episode transcript, it can be found here. https://www.communicationqueens.com/blog Sharables: For shareable images, quotes, and other social media posts to add some royal sparkle to your socials (with proper tagging and credit, of course), they can be found here.   💕 Say “hi” on social:   Communication Queen Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/communicationqueens  Communication Queen Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/communicationqueensagency  Communication QueenTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@communicationqueens  Communication Queen Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/communicationqueens/  Communication Queen Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@communicationqueens    🎙Subscribe + Listen to the Communication Queens Podcast here: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/communication-queen-entrepreneurship-marketing-storytelling/id1718540459  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2ROeliYZG9thhNSMEo8SDx?si=abc7b72eb6274d3b&nd=1&dlsi=fb6df192dfbb4505  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8d87938f-bfbc-4dac-a60e-b77b652b344c/communication-queen-entrepreneurship-marketing-storytelling-public-speaking-and-podcasting  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@communicationqueens    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kimberlyspencer.crownyourself/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/realkimspencer  Instagram: https://instagram.com/kimberly.spencer  Linked In: https://linkedin.com/in/kimberlyspencer-crownyourself     AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER: This description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this video and support the channel at no cost to you.

What if the secret to freedom wasn’t in a flashy startup or the next big trend… but in notes? In this power-packed, soul-stirring episode, Kimberly Spencer sits down with note investor, wealth coach, and absolute powerhouse Hànanda Whittingham, who shares her jaw-dropping journey from walking away with just $162 to multiplying her net worth by 1,000% in five years. Yup—Queen didn’t just survive, she THRIVED. But this convo is about more than money.

Ever feel like your voice has to be wrapped in perfection before the world can hear it? In this raw, real, and radically empowering episode, Kimberly Spencer strips down the podcasting process — literally ditching her microphone — to show you how simple it can be to share your story now, not someday. With her newborn nursing in one arm and her laptop balanced between her knees, Kimberly broadcasts this episode from the corner of her couch — no pop filter, no studio, no problem. Because when your message is a mission, perfection is optional. She dives deep into how the “shoulds” we stack up — the professional mic, the polished setup, the perfect timing — are often the very obstacles blocking our impact. You’ll learn how to reframe resistance, simplify your systems, and let go of performance pressure so your story can do what it was born to do: connect, convert, and catalyze transformation. Whether you’re a podcaster, coach, speaker, or content creator, this episode is a heartfelt permission slip to let your voice be heard — as messy, magical, and meaningful as it is. Your voice is your power, Queen. Don’t let a missing mic silence your message. 📚Grab the “Top Books of 2024 to Change Your Life,” the bestseller, multi-gold-medal award-winner, “Make Every Podcast Want You” by Kimberly Spencer.

 You don’t earn your crown by buying a seat on a spaceship. You earn it by boldly owning your truth—and amplifying it with integrity.  In this fiery episode of Communication Queens, Kimberly Spencer unpacks the spaceflight-sized gap between performative visibility and authentic visibility. Using the recent blUE Origin PR stunt—a celeb-filled "all-female space crew" joyride—as a cautionary tale, Kimberly dishes out a no-fluff lesson in what happens when marketing trades substance for spectacle. You’ll get real about the difference between “look-at-me” illusions and soul-aligned messaging that actually moves people. Kimberly breaks down why modern audiences are done being duped, how bro marketing just got a glittery bra, and what it really means to shine without faking the spotlight. Expect juicy storytelling, real talk about PR integrity, and actionable tips to help you stop performing and start positioning from a place of purpose. You’ll also get a sneak peek into her bestselling book Make Every Podcast Want You and how podcast guesting is your ticket to true empire expansion—no spaceship required. This isn’t just another marketing masterclass. It’s a wake-up call for any Queen ready to ditch the performance and own her voice like the media mogul she is.   📚Grab the “Top Books of 2024 to Change Your Life,” the bestseller, multi-gold-medal award-winner, “Make Every Podcast Want You” by Kimberly Spencer.
