How Your Personal Brand Creates Success for Your Podcast - Episode 43
A brand is a feeling and so is your podcast. Brands tell a story and when you tell that story with your own voice, it creates a strong emotional connection to your listener. That's what your podcast is doing for you. Through your voice, they get to know you as a person versus reading up on what it is that you do. In this episode, learn how to convey those emotions and showcase your authority and talent by building your personal brand.

Accept and Elevate Your Accent with Maggie Perotin - EP 42
Like computer software, your brain is programmed to keep you safe, but sometimes it's doing its job all too well. One area of that is judgement. When we receive judgement, especially when we use our voice, we have this fear of judgement from ourselves and especially from others. What will they think of me? Will I be perceived as smart and knowledgeable versus weak and not knowing what I'm talking about? Maggie Perotin is a business and leadership coach who recently launched her podcast and touches on this very thing. She reveals how she's reconnected with her voice without changing the way she speaks and has continued to showcase who she is behind the mic on her podcast. We also discover: How Maggie uses her voice fully and embraces her accent. Her entire workflow from idea to recording a podcast episode. The mindset blocks she had to overcome along the way.

Embrace Your Accent - EP 41
There is nothing wrong with having an accent because everyone has an accent based on where you were born, where you grew up, and where you live. It's associated with where you're from. So why are we trying to erase who we are or assimilate into the same accent? Be you on your podcast and empower yourself to know that you can alter certain sounds or syllables based on your muscles, your tongue, your lips, and how you say something because we're not going to erase who you are. Come along this ride with me so your listeners can get to know you first, instead of trying to assimilate with the crowd. Connect with Mary!

How to Use Your Creative Inspiration To Revolutionize Your Podcast with Ame-Lia Tamburrini - EP 36
When helping new podcasters launch their podcast, they don't necessarily have to continue working with me. I teach them the ins and outs of how to do it yourself and off they go. But one of the best things I love is being able to continue to work with them on their show with editing or management. This way I get to see their growth from the very beginning stages of an idea to the evolution over multiple episodes and sometimes even years into the making. So for today's episode, I am so happy to bring on a client of mine, Ame-Lia Tamburrini of Hum Consulting. You are going to get a real-life experience of what it's like to launch a podcast as she shares her "why" of starting a podcast, and the creative approaches we took to revolutionize her show to its current state. We also break down: Mindset blocks and challenges Ame-Lia faced at the very beginning of her podcasting journey How to best serve your audience and the people you want to reach when starting your podcast The change of seasons and how to implement creative inspiration from everyday life into the podcast Resources mentioned in this episode: Circle of Change Podcast https://www.humconsulting.ca/podcast Episode 34 - Be the Creator, Not the Critic https://www.organizedsound.ca/be-the-creator-not-the-critic-winter-break-episode-34/ Engage with Ame-Lia: https://www.humconsulting.ca/ https://www.instagram.com/ameliatamburrini/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ame-lia-tamburrini/ Connect with me!
