Why Your Voice Matters More Than You Think (And the Belief Keeping You Silent) with Kirsty Mason

Why Your Voice Matters More Than You Think with Kirsty Mason What if the thing keeping you invisible in your business isn’t your strategy, your content, or your offer, but an identity you’ve quietly outgrown? In this episode, I’m joined by Kirsty Mason, identity coach for ambitious women and former British Sign Language interpreter. Kirsty spent 24 years as the voice for other people before she discovered that her own deepest limiting belief was that she wasn’t important enough to be heard. Now she helps women rewire exactly that. We go deep on what’s actually going on when you keep telling yourself you need more confidence, more qualifications, or more proof before you’re allowed to take up space. And the answer might surprise you. In this episode we cover: •What identity coaching actually is and why strategy alone will never be enough •How the subconscious mind creates a belief system that quietly runs your business decisions •The invisible barriers deaf people face every day that hearing people never notice •Why Kirsty spent 24 years putting herself in the shadows and the moment that changed •What your nervous system has to do with hitting income goals (and why it might be sabotaging you) •How to “take your thoughts to court” and find the evidence for what you actually believe •The difference between surface-level visibility and true identity-level change •What reclaiming your voice really means, and why it starts in childhood Connect with Kirsty: Instagram: @kirsty_mason_coaching [https://www.instagram.com/kirsty_mason_coaching] Website: www.kirstymasoncoaching.com [https://www.kirstymasoncoaching.com/] Enjoyed this episode?

From Shy Child to Senior Producer: How to Find Your Voice and Own It with Sarah Collins

What does it really take to show up and be heard when you spent most of your life keeping quiet? In this episode I'm joined by Sarah Collins, media trainer, communication coach and former senior producer at ITV and ITN, where she spent over 20 years working on some of the UK's biggest daytime television shows including Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women. Sarah's story is one that will resonate deeply. She grew up shy, kept her head down at school, and walked into one of the loudest industries in the country with no real toolkit for using her voice. It wasn't until a small but significant moment in a busy newsroom, when an editor told her he already knew who she was, that something shifted. Now she helps female founders and organisations get media ready, blending her insider television expertise with ICF accredited coaching to help people show up in podcast interviews, TV appearances and beyond with clarity, confidence and conviction. We talk about: * Why not knowing what to say is the real confidence blocker, not nerves * The three foundations Sarah uses with every client: mission, key messages and story * How she watched expert after expert crumble under studio pressure and what she learned from it * Why she avoided the camera herself for nearly 20 years and how that changed * The client who went from not knowing what to say at networking events to speaking in parliament * What reclaiming your voice looks like when you have spent years hiding in plain sight This one is a brilliant listen whether you have a podcast interview coming up, a stage opportunity on the horizon, or you simply want to start showing up with more presence and purpose.

Finding Your Voice After Everything Falls Apart: Building Two Businesses Through Separation with Becci Jones

What does it take to build not one but two businesses while navigating separation, solo parenting a four-year-old, and doing it all without letting anyone see the cracks? In this episode I'm joined by Becci Jones, LullaBaby franchisee in Lincoln and West Lindsay and founder of Beyond Birth with Becci, a postnatal doula business built to support mums who feel like they're doing it all alone, even when they're in a relationship. Becci opens up about a 12-year relationship that unravelled, an award-winning business her partner never once acknowledged, and how she kept showing up for her community while carrying more than anyone knew. We talk about: * Why Becci became a doula to better support the mums already coming to her baby classes * What the fourth trimester actually is and why so many women are left unsupported in it * The breastfeeding statistic that will genuinely stop you in your tracks (80% of women who felt they couldn't breastfeed weren't physiologically unable to, they just weren't supported) * How going through separation became the fuel for her business * What it means to hold space for other people when nobody is holding it for you * Why she started being honest online about what was really going on in her life, and what happened next * How she's building a personal brand by being unapologetically herself * The real reason community matters so much in those early months of motherhood Becci also shares why she believes mums in relationships need a voice just as much as single parents do, and why knowing your own instincts is the most powerful thing you can give yourself in parenting and in business. If you are in the middle of a hard season and wondering whether now could ever be the right time to build something, this one is for you.

Why You Don't Need More Clients to Make More Money with Taylor Smith

Are you a female founder making great sales but still wondering where all the money went? This week I'm joined by Taylor Smith, chartered accountant, former aviation CFO, and profit and cashflow strategist for women in business. Taylor works with successful female founders who are brilliant at what they do but have potentially avoided the financial side of their business. She specialises in increasing profit, strengthening cashflow, and helping women grow their revenue without needing more clients. And she's here to tell you that avoiding your numbers is completely understandable, and completely fixable. In this episode we cover: * Taylor's journey from a single parent household to the boardrooms of aviation companies, and why she left corporate to work with female entrepreneurs * Why so many women in business have a complicated relationship with their numbers and where that really comes from * The confidence shift that happens when a founder finally gets a handle on her finances * The most common profit leaks in small businesses and how to start finding them today * Why chasing new clients is often the slowest and most expensive way to grow your revenue * Pricing strategy for coaches and service providers, and how to raise your prices without it feeling out of alignment * How to structure your offer suite to increase profit from the clients you already have * How knowing your numbers connects to showing up, speaking up, and using your voice more powerfully as a business owner Taylor also shares two things you can do this week to start recovering profit you didn't even know you were losing. If you have ever felt vulnerable opening up about the real state of your finances, suspected you might be undercharging, or wondered why your revenue and your bank balance don't seem to match, this episode is for you.
