PSA: “Empowering women” is NOT a podcast pitch strategy—it’s a mission without a magnet. In this fierce and fire-breathing episode of Communication Queen, Kimberly Spencer pulls back the curtain on why that overused buzzphrase just won’t cut it anymore—and what you need to lead with instead.

Kimberly isn’t just throwing shade—she’s lighting up your path to getting booked on top-ranked podcasts that actually convert. Sharing spicy truth bombs from her own inbox and drawing parallels between viral personal brands and strategy-first storytelling, Kimberly breaks down what makes a podcast guest unforgettable: results-driven impact, radical authenticity, and embodied expertise.

Expect hard truths, real stories (including the kind that actually get you booked), and a powerful call to reframe your “empowerment” narrative into one that shows transformation on the physical plane—money made, lives changed, empires built.

You’ll walk away with the clarity and confidence to pitch like a queen and magnetize interviews that elevate your authority, income, and message.
