    242: The Difference Between Having a Podcast & a Podcast That Books Out Your Signature Offer

    There's a big difference between having a podcast and having a podcast that is booking out your signature offer. In this episode, I share 3 ways to know if your podcast is working as hard for your business as it could be. Most common mistakes: Having way more guest episodes than solo episodes, positions you as a great interviewer and not the thought leader you areSolo episodes that feel like a journal instead of episodes that make it obvious the next step is working with youNot sharing your episodes after they air, losing out big time on authorityIf any of those sound like you, it's time to turn your podcast into the lead generating machine it can be.

    241: What to Do With Your Podcast Episodes After They Air

    You guested on a podcast. The episode aired. You shared it to your stories for 24 hours — and then you moved on. That's the most common mistake podcast guests make. And it's costing you. In this episode I'm walking you through exactly what to do with your podcast episodes after they air so that every appearance keeps working for you long after the publish date. I'm covering: How to build a Spotify playlist of all your guest appearances and use it as a resource in your DMsTurning your episode into a blog post to increase your digital footprint and get found organicallyPulling the best quotes and turning them into carousel posts and shareable contentHow to work your episodes into your email list Why none of this has to happen the week the episode airs — and how to go back and use older episodes right nowThis is not a to-do list dump. It's a menu of ideas. Pick one. Start there. You are not behind.

    240: Finding Your Voice in Business When You've Spent Years Silencing it — with Candice Coughenour

    Candice of Congruent Soul Therapy is back — and this conversation goes deep. If you've ever felt like your business and your actual self are operating in two different lanes, this episode is going to hit home. So many women fall into one of two traps: staying so professional that their real personality never makes it into their work, or sharing so openly that they lose the thread of what their business is actually about. Candice and I talk about how to find the line between the two — and why your business, when used right, becomes one of the most powerful tools you have for expressing who you actually are. In this episode: What it actually means to use your business as a vehicle for your voiceThe two ways women hide from their voice in business and how to recognize which one you're doingWhere fear shows up most when a woman starts letting her real voice lead her business decisionsHow to figure out what your voice even is when you've spent years pushing it downIf you missed Candice's first appearance, go back and listen to episode 223: The Guilt Spiral That Keeps Women Stuck in Over-giving. Two conversations that belong together. Find Candice at Congruent Soul Therapy and connect with her using the links below.

    This episode is a pep talk — and if you have a podcast appearance coming up, or you've been holding yourself back from pitching yourself because you don't feel like enough, you need to hear this.

That story is keeping you small — and it's not true.

You need to know your thing. And you do.
