Dreams are the catalysts for change, the sparks that ignite our passions and propel us toward our goals. They are the guiding stars that lead us to explore new territories and achieve greatness.
For me, the journey began with a personal dream: to launch my own podcast and share my voice with the world. But as I delved deeper into the podcasting industry, I discovered a staggering truth—women’s voices were significantly underrepresented.
This realization transformed my dream into a mission: to empower other women to make their voices heard in the podcasting world.
In just a year and a half, my podcast: The Courage To Be has soared to rank in the top 1.5% globally, a testament to the power of following one’s dreams with passion and persistence. Yet, the true fulfillment of this journey comes not just from my own success, but from the opportunity to help other women step into the spotlight and share their unique stories.
It’s been an incredible experience to work with amazing clients as their podcast consultant and manager, guiding them as they bring their own podcasting dreams to life. Clients like Amy and Molly, who are about to launch their podcast “Meet Me in the Penthouse,” exemplify the power of decision, persistence, faith, and resilience in the pursuit of dreams.
The Evolution of a Dream
When I first set out to launch my own podcast, my focus was on creating content that resonated with my audience and allowed me to express my thoughts and ideas. It was a personal goal, one that required commitment, creativity, and a willingness to step out of my comfort zone. But as I navigated the podcasting landscape, I began to notice the gender gap that existed in the industry. The statistics were clear: women were underrepresented, both as podcast hosts and as guests. This realization sparked a new passion within me—a desire to change the narrative and create more opportunities for women in podcasting.
What started as a personal ambition quickly evolved into a broader mission. I wanted to do more than just succeed with my own podcast; I wanted to help other women achieve their podcasting dreams as well. I envisioned a world where women’s voices would be heard, where they could share their stories and insights without barriers. This dream became the driving force behind everything I do, and it has led me to work with incredible women who are making their mark in the podcasting world.
Decision: Turning Dreams into Action
Every dream begins with a decision—a moment when you choose to take action and pursue your vision, no matter the challenges that lie ahead. For me, the decision to launch my podcast was the first step in a journey that would eventually lead to empowering other women to do the same. It was a decision rooted in a deep desire to create something meaningful, to share my voice, and to inspire others.
This decision has been mirrored in the journeys of the women I’ve had the privilege of working with, including my recent clients Amy and Molly, who just launched their podcast today.
Their decision to launch “Meet Me in the Penthouse” was a bold step toward realizing their dream of creating a platform for high-performing individuals to thrive without burnout. They made the choice to turn their vision into reality, and it has been an honor to support them as they navigate the podcasting world.
Persistence: The Engine of Progress
The journey toward achieving any dream is rarely straightforward. It requires persistence—the ability to keep moving forward, even when the road is challenging and the outcomes are uncertain.
Persistence has been a key factor in the success of my podcast, and it’s a quality I’ve seen in every woman I’ve worked with, including Amy and Molly.
Building a successful podcast takes time, effort, faith, money, and a willingness to learn and adapt. There are technical hurdles, content creation challenges, and the ongoing task of growing an audience. But through it all, persistence is what keeps you going. It’s the belief that every step you take brings you closer to your goal, and it’s the determination to keep pushing forward, no matter what.
Faith: Trusting in the Process
Faith is the belief in the unseen—the conviction that your dreams are possible, even when you can’t yet see the results. In the early days of my podcasting journey, I had to rely on faith to keep me moving forward. I trusted that my efforts would pay off, that my voice would resonate with others, and that my dream of empowering women in podcasting would become a reality.
This faith has been a guiding force for me, and it’s a quality I encourage in every woman I work with. Amy and Molly’s faith in their vision for “Meet Me in the Penthouse” has been a key factor in their success. They believed in the value of their message, and they trusted that their podcast would find its audience. Their faith has been rewarded, and their podcast is now about to become a platform for meaningful and inspiring conversations.
Resilience: Overcoming Challenges
In the pursuit of any dream, challenges are inevitable. What matters most is how you respond to those challenges—whether you let them derail your progress or use them as opportunities to grow. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from setbacks, to learn from every experience, and to keep moving forward with renewed determination.
Throughout my journey, resilience has been essential. There have been moments of doubt and obstacles that seemed insurmountable, but I’ve learned to embrace these challenges as part of the process. This resilience has allowed me to continue growing my podcast and to support other women as they face their own challenges in the podcasting world.
Commitment: Staying True to Your Vision
Commitment is the promise you make to yourself to stay the course, no matter what challenges arise. It’s the dedication to your dream that keeps you moving forward, even when the journey is difficult. My commitment to closing the gender gap in podcasting has been unwavering. It’s what drives me to continue growing my podcast, to support other women in their podcasting journeys, and to keep striving for greater impact.
This commitment has led to incredible results. Not only has my podcast achieved global recognition, but I have also had the privilege of helping extraordinary women succeed with their podcast launch.
The Joy of Seeing Dreams Realized
There is no greater joy than seeing a dream realized, especially when that dream involves lifting others up and helping them achieve their own aspirations. As I look back on the past year and a half, I am filled with pride and gratitude. The journey has been challenging, but it has also been incredibly rewarding. I have seen my dream of closing the gender gap in podcasting come to life in ways I never imagined, and I have had the privilege of supporting incredible women like Amy and Molly as they pursue their own dreams.
Their success is a testament to the power of dreams and the importance of following them with all your heart. It’s a reminder that no matter how big or small your dream may seem, it’s worth pursuing. With the right mindset, persistence, faith, resilience, and commitment, anything is possible.
Dreams are powerful. They have the ability to shape our lives, inspire change, and create a lasting impact on the world. The pursuit of our dreams is a journey that requires courage, dedication, and a willingness to face challenges head-on. But it is also a journey filled with joy, growth, and the fulfillment of seeing your vision come to life.
As I continue on my mission to close the gender gap in podcasting, I am reminded of the importance of staying true to my dreams.
Each step I take brings me closer to a world where women’s voices are heard loud and clear, where they are empowered to share their stories and insights, and where they can achieve success on their terms.
It’s a dream worth pursuing, and I am grateful for every opportunity to make it a reality.
So, to all the dreamers out there—keep going!!!
Believe in your vision, stay committed to your goals, and know that your dreams are worth every effort!!
Together, we can create a world where dreams are not just possible, but inevitable.
