The Influential Woman | Identity. Voice. Impact.

Trish Jones

Most women aren't held back by ability. They're held back by identity. I'm Trish Jones — voice and identity coach, speaker, author of Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Voice, and founder of the IW Unleashed community. For over three decades I've worked with influential women in corporate and business, helping them reclaim their real identity (which I often refer to as their voice) that got buried under responsibility, comparison, and the pressure to perform. This show is built around one message: Identity. Influence. Impact. Know who you are — that's your identity. Speak and lead from who you are — that's your influence. Change the lives of the people around you — that's your impact. The more you understand your identity, the more authentic your influence; the more authentic your influence, the greater your impact. Too many women spend years DOING and sadly, feeling unfulfilled in their DOING, because they've ever taken the time to BE - performing a version of themselves conditioned by other people's expectations instead of living from who they actually are. This show is about reversing that order. Every episode gives you real tools to reconnect with your identity, strengthen your voice, and lead — in business, in leadership, in life — from truth of who you are instead of performance.

    You Are Ready (You Just Don't Know It Yet)

    Have you ever gone to bed with a clear idea, ready to take action — and woken up the next morning and it's completely gone? And then the cycle repeats. And the voice in your head gets louder, telling you that you've missed your moment. You haven't. In this first episode back, I'm being completely transparent about why I went quiet, what I discovered in the silence, and why the real issue was never about strategy, content or confidence. It was identity. And if I'm honest — I lost my own voice. Even after writing a book about it. In this episode we cover: — Why waiting until you feel ready is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves — The story of the worst speaker in the room who outsold every polished presenter — and what it taught me about message vs performance — How social media is quietly convincing women to trade their real voice for someone else's — The difference between doing your purpose and being who you were made to be — Why your voice was never about volume, confidence or whether you're an introvert or extrovert — What it means to be Rooted in Christ, Rise up into purpose and Reign in life — Why I wrote a book about voice and then had to sit down and learn what I'd taught The framework running through everything I do — and everything on this podcast — is this: Identity. Influence. Impact. Know who you are - that's your identity. Speak and lead from who you are - that's your influence. Change the lives of those you were sent to reach - that's your impact. And it's not a straight line. It's a spiral. The deeper your identity, the more authentic your influence. The more authentic your influence, the greater the impact you make in the lives of others.  The journey never ends - it only deepens - because you were known before you were born. Sent before you said yes. And the abundant life God prepared for you was never something to chase - it's something to receive. --- Mentioned in this episode: 📖 Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Voice book - https://unleashyourvoicebook.com 🌐 IW Unleashed Community - https://www.skool.com/influential-woman-community-3576 --- If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you.
