What if the best networking event you'll ever attend doesn't require a name tag, awkward small talk, or leaving your cozy home?In this episode, I'm sharing exactly why podcast guesting has become my go-to strategy for growing my business, increasing visibility, and building genuine connections. Unlike traditional networking or social media posts that disappear, podcast guesting creates authentic, long-lasting visibility — and it works even while you're offline.Inside, I break down:Why podcast interviews create deeper trust than a networking eventThe borrowed credibility that happens when a trusted host introduces you to their audienceHow one podcast guest spot can lead to clients, collaborations, and partnershipsThe power of evergreen episodes that continue bringing people to your businessWhy this method works especially well for introverts and busy entrepreneurs like meIf you've been overlooking guesting as a real networking strategy, this episode will shift your mindset — and give you a clear path forward.

If you're an introvert, putting yourself out there can feel overwhelming—but podcasting and guesting might be the perfect fit for you!I learned this firsthand after speaking at a women's leadership event. While my extroverted friend left energized, I felt completely drained. People assume podcasting is just like public speaking, but it's not (thank goodness!). Podcasting allows introverts to connect, share, and grow—without the exhaustion.Why Podcasting Works for Introverts
Debt can feel overwhelming, especially when it reaches six figures. But what if you could turn that debt into financial confidence and security? In this episode of Better Brave, I sit down with Dr. Upchurch, a money coach and physician who helps professional women eliminate massive debt and build long-term wealth.Dr. Upchurch's own financial transformation began in medical school when she recognized she was repeating unhealthy money habits she had witnessed growing up.

Now, she coaches women through their own financial breakthroughs, helping them shift their mindset, take control of their money, and increase their net worth.In This Episode, We Cover:Breaking generational money patterns and creating new financial habitsThe importance of financial confidence and how to build itWhy one-on-one coaching can accelerate your wealth journeyConnect with Dr. Upchurch:
Welcome to this episode where I'm diving deep into a topic close to my heart: Imposter Syndrome. You know that feeling when you hit record and suddenly think, "Who am I to be doing this?" Trust me, you're not alone. It happens to all of us.When I started out with over 160 episodes ago, I had those moments of doubt. "Will anyone even listen?" What is Imposter Syndrome? It's that persistent feeling of self-doubt despite evident success. It's normal and happens when we care deeply about our craft.Why It Happens? The more we care, the more doubt creeps in. Comparison to others' polished content can amplify this feeling.How to Push Through ItRemember Why You Started: Reconnect with your mission and impact.Rationalize: Focus on facts, not perceptions.Focus on One Listener: Your message matters more than flawless delivery.Keep Track of Wins: Positive feedback is your proof of impact.Everyone Feels This Way: Even top podcasters have faced imposter syndrome.Closing Encouragement & Call to Action Your voice matters. Someone needs to hear what you have to say. Record your next episode without overthinking it. Trust me, someone needs to hear this.
Podcast guesting is a powerful way to grow your business, increase visibility, and build authority—all while sharing your message in a long-form, engaging way. But are you truly ready to be a guest on a podcast? In this episode, I break down three key signs that indicate whether you're prepared to maximize your podcast guest appearances.3 Ways to Know If You're Ready for Podcast Guesting:1️⃣ Do you have a place to send listeners? Before guesting, make sure you have a way to keep the connection going—whether that's an email list, Facebook group, free resource, or your own podcast. Having a clear call to action will help convert listeners into engaged followers or clients.2️⃣ Are you open to sharing your personal story? The best podcast episodes are built on storytelling. Your audience will connect with you through your journey—so be ready to share your experiences in a way that builds trust and relatability.3️⃣ Are you prepared to share your episode when it airs? Podcast guesting isn't just about showing up—it's about leveraging the opportunity! Promoting your episode helps expand your reach and strengthens relationships with podcast hosts. If you're not comfortable sharing, it may be time to do some inner work or refine your messaging.

Send us a textIn this solo episode, I'm reflecting on my journey from Episode 1 of the Better Brave Podcast to where I am now 160ish episodes in. Over the past 3.5 years, I've recorded more than 160 episodes, each one teaching me something new about podcasting, consistency, and growth.When I started, I kept things simple. I didn't have all the tools, skills, or confidence, but I took that first small step. Looking back, it's incredible to see how those early episodes laid the foundation for what the podcast has become today.Here's what I'm sharing in this episode:How I started: What Episode 1 looked like and the challenges I faced as a beginner.What's changed since then: How my process, mindset, and skills have evolved after 3.5 years and 160 reps of practice.The power of starting small: Why tackling big goals always begins with small, intentional steps.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the thought of starting something new, this episode will remind you that the most important thing is to start—no matter how small. Growth happens one step, one episode, and one rep at a time.Resources Mentioned: Podcast Setup Guide [FREE]Podcast Setup Mini Course [HERE]Guesting Bundle [HERE]

Send us a textIn this solo episode of Better Brave, I'm walking you through my process of turning an idea into a podcast episode—from that first spark to hitting publish. If you've ever wondered how to create content consistently or worried you won't have enough to share, this one's for you!Here's what I cover:Spur-of-the-Moment InspirationIdeas often hit during walks, meditation, or even in the shower.Capture the energy right away with a voice note or quick jot-down.Don't overthink—your message could be exactly what someone needs!Planned and Prepped EpisodesChoose topics aligned with your niche or frequently asked questions.Create notes to stay organized and add clear value for your audience.Turn recurring social media questions into podcast episodes.Guest InterviewsPrep is key—research guests to ensure they align with your show.Plan questions but stay flexible during the conversation.It's okay to say no if a guest doesn't feel like the right fit.The Final StepsRecord, edit (if needed), upload, and either publish or schedule your episode.Whether it's a spur-of-the-moment idea or a carefully planned episode, trust your voice and the value you bring to your listeners.
Send us a textMy clients and I have made plenty of podcasting mistakes over the years—here are the top five so you can skip them and grow faster!Trying to reach everyone → Get clear on your audience and who your dream listener is.Overcomplicating the tech → Start simple! A mic, a recording platform (Audacity, Zoom, Riverside), and a host (Buzzsprout) are all you need.Too many guest episodes → If you want to be seen as an authority, prioritize solo episodes (aim for 2/3 solo, 1/3 guest).Publishing and ghosting → Promote every episode—share on social media, email your list, and drop links in relevant conversations.Skipping a call to action → Tell listeners what to do next! Subscribe, leave a review, join your email list, or grab a free resource.Bonus: Don't record topics just because you think you should—talk about what excites you!
