Why are so few women hosting podcasts, and what does it cost us? This episode of Getting Heard is about women in podcasting, the confidence gap that stops female founders starting a show, and why your voice matters more than you think.

I've spent ten years watching brilliant women talk themselves out of starting a podcast. Not good enough yet. Hate the sound of my own voice. Who does she think she is. And the big one: I'll do it when I'm ready, except ready never actually turns up.

So I'm sharing four statistics about women in podcasting that genuinely broke my heart when I read them, including the one that tells you exactly what you're walking into when you start a podcast as a woman in business. Then there's a one line exercise for you. Thirty seconds, brutal honesty required, and whatever you write down is the reason this show exists.

Getting Heard is the podcast for women in business who want to start a podcast and actually be heard. New episodes every weekday.
