Ever had one of those days where none of your ideas feel right - even when you have a plan? That was me today. I had three episodes prepped, a title for the fourth… and no clue where to go with it. So instead of forcing it, I hit record anyway and brought you along for the ride. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I navigated that moment — not with a shiny solution, but with a real-time process. You’ll hear: What I really do when I’m stuck for ideasHow to use your own epis...
Ever had one of those weeks where you just cannot be bothered to record a podcast episode? ME TOO! And it wouldn't be the first (or the last) time. So in this episode, I talk about what that looks like behind the scenes, and more importantly, what to do when the content burnout hits. Whether it's low energy, busy schedules, or a mind that’s gone blank on ideas, it’s all normal - but it can also totally derail your podcast momentum. And momentum is what makes a podcast work. In this epis...
If you’re still waiting to feel “ready” before launching your podcast… this episode is your wake-up call. I hear it all the time: “I want to start a podcast, but I just need to figure out the tech… get the perfect equipment… perfect the format… sound more confident…” And yet, a year later, nothing's changed. Sound familiar? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why the pressure to have the perfect setup, perfect plan, and perfect timing is exactly what’s keeping you stuck. We...
Ever felt like you're just not loud enough to succeed online? In this episode, I’m unpacking a major myth that holds so many podcasters, coaches, and creators back: the belief that you have to be the loudest in the room to be noticed. Spoiler alert.. you don’t! I talk about what actually makes you magnetic online (hint: it’s not volume). If you’ve been told to “just speak up” or be more extroverted to grow your show or business, this will have you using your power of quietness to attract your...

This one's personal. I recorded this episode as a reminder to myself, and every life coach, therapist, or helping professional who's ever questioned their legitimacy, their pricing, or their right to be seen. In a world that often pits therapists against coaches or makes you feel guilty for building an audience, I’m here to say: it’s not about ego. It’s about impact. I talk about what it's really like to show up as a coach or therapist online, why it's okay to want both income and influence, ...
You asked for visibility… and now it’s here, things are starting to take off, but suddenly you’re freaking out a little. Sound familiar? In this episode, I unpack what it really feels like when you start being seen online, and why that internal panic might actually be a green light, not a stop sign. I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of what happened when I went viral (more than once), the messy emotions that come with growth, and the truth about backlash, trolling, and being cont...
It might feel like the podcast world is oversaturated… but that’s not the truth. In this episode, I’m busting the myth that you’re “too late” to start your podcast. Yes, there are over 4.5 million podcasts registered - but only a tiny fraction of them are actually posting consistently. I’ll break down the real stats and show you why now is the ideal time to get in, especially if you’re in coaching, therapy, or a service-based business. We talk about: Why volume equals validation, not co...
If you’ve been posting daily and still feel like you’re shouting into the void - I got you covered! In this episode of Ready To Be Heard, I’m diving deep into why your visibility problem isn’t frequency, it’s strategy. We’ve been taught to feed the algorithm, but I’m calling BS on content for content’s sake. I talk through what actually builds long-term visibility (hint: it's not more B-roll and quick cuts) and why playing the algorithm game leaves you burnt out and disconnected. This ...
In this deeply personal episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I found my voice - after years of staying quiet. From childhood moments during my parents’ divorce to the pain of ending my own marriage in my 20s, I trace the dots between silence and self-expression. This isn’t just about divorce or therapy. It’s about what happens when we stop performing and start telling the truth. You’ll hear how I went from hiding my feelings in sick bay at school to publicly sharing my story, a...

Every week, I get up for a ParkRun. Okay, most weeks. It's not for good reason that I'll often miss a ParkRun (yes, having your hair done the day before is a good reason) and I'll even visit other ParkRuns is I'm somewhere else in the country to make sure I don't miss out. But this isn't just about fitness. Showing up to the parkrun, seeing my time every week, and being able to see my progress is having more than just an impact on m health and business. I run with a pod...
We've all been there - launching a podcast and expecting people to listen. You've got a message to share with the world, you wanna do some good, AND grow your business at the same time... But time and time again, I see entrepreneurs, life coaches and therapists making the same mistakes with their podcasts. And it's okay, we've all gotta start somewhere when we launch a podcast. We're all gonna make those rookie mistakes... But if I can help you skip a few of those steps ...
Navigating the tightrope walk between a career in teaching and the entrepreneurial leap is no small feat, and this week I'm revealing the raw truths behind such a journey. Picture this: I'm prepping for a crucial business presentation, but I'm also on the clock at a school, ready to mold young minds. In this intimate sharing session, I recount how adjusting my teaching schedule created the breathing room my business desperately needed, while also dissecting the often sugarcoated success stori...
Picture this: you're about to make a presentation at a networking meeting, and you're asked by stranger "do you have any jack leads?" —how do you spin that into a compelling story? That's where the power of storytelling in podcasting comes to life, something I'm constantly fine-tuning on my own journey. This episode is a deep-dive into the art of crafting stories that stick with your audience, from using a story bank to draw out the perfect anecdote, to striking that delicate balance betwee...
I've been a teacher since 2014, when I started training in schools, and since 2022, I've been transitioning from education to entrepreneurship. Online, it's easy to see everyone talk about the success of their business and quitting their old industry. But I'm here to normalise doing it slowly, one step at a time, and to validate that finding a complementary balance between your old venture and new can be the way to make it work for you - even if that means getting to a stage where you'...

Today, I'm sharing the secret strategies to doubling your downloads in the next 30 days. In just one month, you can take your podcast downloads from 5 to 10, or 5000 to 10,000. And one of those strategies I even started back in February and it did exactly as it says on the tin, ...
Big visions drive me. I've always had big ideas, whatever role I'm in. Mixed Attainment Maths curriculums in teaching, building a community of single women to end loneliness, and changing the way the world thinks through podcast, and those are just the career ones! And sometimes life demands come into play, and in the interest of doing at least one of them well, we end up having to give up on some of our big dreams and visions to make way for new aspirations to unfold. It isn't ...
It's always easier to look back and say "here's how to start a podcast" once you've already started one. The Single Girl's Guide to Life podcast started over 3 years ago, back in July 2021, and this podcast, Big Vision Business Owners, started 6 months ago. So from my two experiences starting a podcast, I'm gonna peel back the content to reveal how creating strategic content and fostering genuine engagement trumps any trending chart position. In this week's episode, I'll ...
