I’ve been where you are
—navigating challenges, figuring out how to turn my vision into a reality, and learning the ropes of building a podcast and business from scratch.
Through my own experience of launching and growing a successful podcast, I’ve gained firsthand insights into what works, what doesn’t, and how to stay focused on your long-term goals.
I use my journey to provide actionable guidance, sharing the strategies that helped me grow my audience, connect with thought leaders, and turn my podcast into a tool for building influence and driving sales. I’ll help you streamline your podcasting process, create content that resonates with your audience, and develop strategies that align with your business goals.
Through my story, you’ll see that success isn’t about overnight results—it’s about consistency, learning from setbacks, and staying authentic to your message. Let me help you use your voice to grow your brand, connect with your audience, and achieve the same kind of results I’ve achieved with She Built It® Media. Together, we’ll create a podcast that not only reflects your brand but drives real growth and results.
Your story is your most powerful tool for building connection and trust.
I’ll help you tap into that power, using strategic storytelling to shape your podcast, engage your audience, and scale your brand and business.
Together, we’ll craft a narrative that not only reflects your brand but propels your business forward, helping you achieve your goals and grow your influence.
Let’s use your story to build a podcast that turns listeners into loyal clients.

With two teen boys keeping me on my toes—whether I’m cheering them on at basketball games or managing the behind-the-scenes magic of podcasts—life is always full!
