In this episode, I sit down with Candace Dudley, Podcast Guesting Coach and Host of the Podcasting Mentor: Better Brave Podcast. Candace shares how podcast guesting can transform your visibility, authority, and confidence as a business owner, especially if you're tired of relying on the algorithm and want to be known as the go-to in your niche.

We talk about the power of using your voice and story in your business, the ripple effect of brave conversations, and how podcasting has helped both of us grow personally and professionally. Candace breaks down why niche speaking topics matter, how to make pitching so much simpler, and why genuine, human connection is the real secret behind successful podcast outreach.

She also opens up about her own business pivots, the bravery required to trust your instincts, and the magic that shows up when you follow aligned opportunities. If you’re a coach or service provider wanting to increase visibility, build confidence, and grow your online business without burnout, this episode is filled with practical strategies and inspiring honesty.

Whether you’re brand new to guesting or already podcasting regularly, Candace’s perspective will help you take your next brave step.

In this uplifting episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Priya Patel, the inspiring host of the "I Wish I Knew That Earlier" podcast. Priya shared her journey of launching her podcast during the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing how it boosted her confidence and transformed her perspective through conversations with strangers. We discussed the importance of taking action, learning from mistakes, and viewing failure as a lesson rather than a setback.

Priya opened up about the challenges and bravery required to put herself out there, especially on social media. She shared her experiences with launching her podcast, starting an Instagram page, and creating solo episodes. Our conversation highlighted the significance of self-trust, shedding people-pleasing tendencies, and making decisions that align with personal values.
