Affirmation: My voice builds community. I am a leader who creates safe, empowering spaces.
Q1: What if I hate the sound of my voice?
Everybody does at first. You’ll get over it. Your audience isn’t thinking about your voice—
they’re listening for value.
Q2: What if no one listens?
Then you get 10 reps of practicing courage. Treat your first listeners like VIP clients. They’ll
bring more.
Q3: How do I stay consistent when I feel overwhelmed?
Batch record. Stop aiming for A+ work. Publish C+ episodes on time.
Q4: Can I really make money from a small podcast?
Yes. You don’t need thousands of listeners. You need the right listeners who are ready for
your paid offers.
Q5: How do I make it empowering, not just marketing?
Share your messy middle. Be real about what you’re learning. Empowerment is contagious
when you model it.
Final Coaching Reframe
Podcasting isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. Empowerment doesn’t come before
you start—it comes through showing up, again and again, even when your voice shakes.
👉 Action Step:
Record a 5-minute solo episode today. Don’t script it. Don’t overthink it. Just talk. Then
publish it. That’s your first empowered move.
