FWM: You have been a beacon of hope and inspiration for millions around the world. Tell us about your work to empower others through Podcasting.
Through my work in podcasting, I have been able to empower and inspire millions of people around the world. By sharing my personal experiences and struggles, I have shown others that they, too, can overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. My transparency and authenticity have allowed me to connect with my audience on a deeper level, and I am honored to have been able to help so many people give life a second chance.
I strongly believe that words have the power to heal, and I have used my platform to spread positivity and hope. Through my podcast, I have been able to provide a safe space for individuals to share their own stories, and I have been humbled by the outpouring of support and gratitude from my listeners.
My journey has taught me that success is not about having a perfect life but rather about persevering through challenges and staying true to oneself. I am committed to continuing my work in podcasting and using my voice to make a positive impact in the world. In additional, making sure to provide a safe place for individuals to share their story and have a community of support.
FWM: How did you begin Podcasting?
In 2018, I started podcasting as a personal outlet to escape the pressures of being a mother, wife, friend, volunteer worker, and educator. Battling low self-worth, depression, and illness, I embarked on a three-year journey of self-discovery and learning to love myself. Through podcasting, I found a safe space to share my deepest fears, struggles, and triumphs, and it quickly became therapeutic for me.
Initially, I never imagined people would be listening, as I had no significant media presence then. However, to my surprise, listeners were tuning in and wanting more of my wellness, life, and educational journey. Through podcasting, I could break free from the stresses of the day and connect with others on a deeper level.
I realized that my vulnerability and authenticity had resonated with my audience, and I was grateful for the opportunity to help others going through similar struggles. Podcasting had become more than a personal outlet for me; it had become a platform for sharing hope, inspiration, and healing.
FWM: What challenges have you faced during your journey to success?
I’ve faced some of the toughest challenges life can throw at you. Health issues, family troubles, losing loved ones, and financial strain have all tested me differently. But nothing could have prepared me for the pandemic.
When my husband lost both of his jobs, my family had to spend all our savings on caring for our two children and household expenses. Our special needs child required major surgery that we couldn’t afford, leaving me feeling hopeless and lost. I turned to God’s prayer for guidance, hoping for a solution to emerge.
As I prayed for a miracle, I realized that I could flip my business from 100% in-person to virtual by leveraging the power of podcasting. I was determined to make it work. I started mapping out a plan to create, speak, collaborate, and interview through this medium, creating for myself the ability to monetize my podcast. The first thing I did was create a Podcast Course. Then after that, I create a way to create multiple streams of income from my one podcast by adding value to my audience and supporter.
With God’s help, podcasting saved my family from financial ruin, giving us a new lease on life. I often say that “podcasting paid for this,” as it transformed our financial situation and brought us hope for the future.
My story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of determination in the face of adversity. It shows that even in the darkest moments, there is always a way forward. I know how it feels to struggle and how to overcome the odds with ingenuity and perseverance.
In the midst of unprecedented challenges, my journey proves that we can turn obstacles into opportunities and emerge stronger, more resourceful, and more resilient than ever before. Podcasting saved my family, and I know it can do the same for others. Just put in the work!
I am no different than you. I had my back pushed against the wall and had no other options. I had to figure it out and make it work. So that is exactly what I did with God’s help!

FWM: What are the key ingredients to a lucrative podcast?
Compelling Content: The foundation of a successful podcast is a unique, engaging, and high-quality content that resonates with your target audience. This requires careful planning, research, and a deep understanding of your listeners’ interests and preferences.
Consistent Schedule: Regularly publishing new episodes on a consistent schedule is essential to building and retaining a loyal audience. Consistency helps to establish credibility and reliability, and it shows your listeners that you take your podcast seriously.
Strong Branding: A strong brand identity is crucial for standing out in a crowded market. This includes designing a professional-looking logo, choosing a catchy name, and creating a memorable tagline that reflects your podcast’s personality and values.
Marketing Strategy: Effective promotion and marketing are crucial for attracting new listeners and building a strong following. This can include utilizing social media platforms, email marketing, guest appearances on other podcasts, and collaborations with influencers or brands.
Engaging Audience Interaction: Engaging with your listeners and building a community around your podcast can help you to build a loyal following, monetize, and increase engagement. Encouraging feedback, responding to comments, and offering exclusive content or perks to your listeners are all effective ways to keep your audience engaged and invested in your podcast.
FWM: How important is giving back?
Giving back to the community is a fundamental aspect of my life. It helps me stay grounded and centered, and I believe it’s essential to create opportunities for others as we grow. One of my core values is that everyone deserves a chance to shine and have access to resources to help them grow. Therefore, I give back to the community in four ways: education, wellness, business, and podcasting.
In education, I conduct workshops, seminars, and training to empower individuals and groups with knowledge and skills to achieve their goals. In wellness, I share my journey of self-love and provide guidance on mental, emotional, and physical well-being. In business, I offer mentorship and coaching to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses and succeed. In podcasting, I collaborate with new and aspiring podcasters to help them launch their podcasts and provide tips on how to grow and monetize their audience.
Ultimately, it’s about creating a positive impact in the lives of others, no matter how small, and letting them know that they are not alone. It’s an honor and a privilege to be able to give back to the community and to make a difference in someone’s life.
