We’re celebrating 100 episodes for the WOC & Allies: Business & Career Realtalk Podcast.
And since this podcast has the word “realtalk” in the title -- just wanted to share I was not looking cute recording this episode. I was wearing a Dodgers snuggie (a snuggie is a blanket with arm holes), a bun and PJs.
This podcast has absolutely evolved from 2 years ago when I first launched it in March 2022. I thought i had to follow what everyone was doing:
- Having to put makeup on each time I hit record
- Script it word-to-word cause I’m a recovering perfectionist
- Have guests cause no one would be interested in listening to what I have to say
2 years and 100 episodes later:
- Been awarded 2 times as a Top Career Podcast by Mac’s List
- Will have my most downloaded episodes this month from solo episodes with no video and no guests
- Intentionally said no to being part of a big podcast network
My recent podcast episode, My Mistakes & Triumphs from 100 Episodes, is a quick 22-minute podcast episode where I shared my evolution of how I learned to embrace being myself and how I’ve stayed focused to my 2 goals of this podcast:
- Provide free, accessible education to others
- Give a chance for those interested in working with me and my team to get to know me better not just as a coach, but as a human
What We Cover in This Episode:
- Why my podcast name has made it easy for everyone to find my podcast (Hint: SEO)
- How I embraced doing what was enough for me which meant from switching from weekly to bi-weekly podcast episodes
- All my mistakes including thinking I needed guests when I just needed to be myself (The result: I will have my highest podcast downloads this month from solo episodes)

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
