377: What 7 Years of Podcasting Has Taught Me about Personal Branding and Thought Leadership

This week is the 7-year anniversary of the Speaking Your Brand podcast!

Thank you for being a listener, for sending me emails when an episode particularly resonates with you, and for sharing the podcast with others.

Podcasting every week for the past seven years has taught me a lot.

I'm incredibly grateful to all the women who’ve been guests for sharing their stories and wisdom with all of us.

Podcasting has also been hard at times: boredom, burnout, too many ideas, no new ideas. I’ve been through all these feelings at different points.

In this episode, I share with you:

  • 3 big lessons you can use whether you have a podcast or not
  • How podcasting, especially creating all of the solo episodes, has shaped my thought leadership and strengthened my personal brand
  • The book I’m working on and how the topic and ideas have come directly from the podcast
  • Why having a regular content creation channel can be helpful to you as you develop your own thought leadership

Become Bookable Live Online Workshop - April 15, 2026
If you want to speak more but you’re not sure where to start or your efforts haven’t produced the results you want, I’m hosting a live online workshop called “Become Bookable: How to Get Speaking Invitations” on Wednesday, April 15th.


A lot of brilliant women assume they just need to pitch themselves more. But the real reason speakers get invited isn’t because they pitch harder — it’s because they’re positioned as bookable.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop live on Zoom, I’ll show you how speakers actually get invited — and help you clarify the positioning that makes event organizers say yes.
