| 49. The Real Reasons Your Podcast Pitches Get Ignored | 25 Nov 2025 | 00:25:23 | |
Have you been pitching to guest on podcasts but only getting crickets in return? After 7 years of hosting two podcasts and receiving hundreds of pitches, I've seen exactly why some guests get an instant yes… and why others get an instant delete. In this episode, I'm sharing the real reasons pitches get ignored - the behind-the-scenes truths most hosts never actually say out loud - and the small shifts that make a huge difference.

What does it really mean to be seen? And why, even in 2025, does visibility still come with such a cost for so many women? In this episode, I'm joined by Antonia Taylor, a PR and communications strategist who helps businesses amplify women's voices and build cultures where female leadership can thrive. She's also the author of the powerful white paper Being Seen: Women, Leadership and Visibility at Work, which was released just last month.

Do you ever sit down to write a post, email or blog and think, "I've got nothing new or interesting to say"? If so, you're definitely not alone - but the truth is, you have so much more to say than you think! In this solo episode, I'm talking about the belief that keeps so many brilliant business owners stuck and silent - and how to shift it. I also share why clarity makes content creation so much easier (and how my Uncover Your Magic course helps with exactly that), how to spot inspiration in your everyday life and how your visibility method might be the thing making you feel blocked. If you've been staring at a blank page lately, wondering if your content even matters - this episode is for you. In this episode, I talk about:

I only discovered Ro Feilden-Cook on Instagram a few months ago, but I was immediately struck by the genuine, honest, and uplifting way she shows up - especially while navigating huge challenges in her life and business. I knew strraight away that I had to have her on the podcast. Ro is a women's wellbeing expert and the founder of The She Collective, a holistic membership that supports women with strength-based movement, mindset tools, and nervous system care. Her mission is to help women take up more space -not less - without resorting to before-and-after culture or shame-based quick fixes. In this episode, we talk about showing up online when things feel heavy, running a values-led business, the importance of community, and the personal cost of trying to do it all. Ro shares openly about the financial challenges her business has faced and the decision to be fully transparent with her members. This conversation is warm, honest and human - one of those episodes that'll stay with you long after you've listened.

Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on a new and exciting venture in my business - my group mastermind called Seen.

Key Takeaways: - The Power of Group Settings: After years of running visibility retreats and 1:1 coaching, I've seen how transformational group settings can be. In this episode, I discuss why I decided to create Seen and how it offers a unique space for business owners to be truly seen and supported. - My 3-Part Visibility Framework: I explain the three parts of my visibility framework and how this forms the foundation of all my offerings, including Seen, and are designed to help you show up confidently in your business. - Why Seen is Different: Unlike many programs that overwhelm you with information, Seen is about stripping away the noise and focusing on what truly matters: connection, support, and taking brave, aligned action. It's a small, intimate mastermind where you'll get personalised attention and build deep connections with like-minded business owners. - Why Now?: I share why now is the right time to launch this mastermind and how it aligns with my mission to help you be seen for who you truly are.

In this episode I chat with the brilliant business coach. Laura Brunton. Laura has rapidly built an engaged and supportive community around her personal brand, and today, she shares her secrets on how she's done it.
We dive into how Laura has stepped out of her comfort zone to show up authentically, including her bold move of becoming a shapewear ambassador and walking through London in her underwear! 😮 She opens up about the challenges and triumphs of staying true to herself in business and life, the importance of putting women first, and why creating a genuine connection is at the heart of her success.
Key Takeaways:
- Focus on What Matters: Laura talks about the importance of staying locked in on your big goals and resisting the temptation to chase every shiny new opportunity. It's all about doing what truly aligns with your mission and values. - The Power of Authentic Connection: One of Laura's standout strategies is her Super Connector Sessions, which focus on meaningful networking without the typical pitchy vibe. She encourages attendees to "steal" her model and create their own spaces for genuine connection. - Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone: Laura shares her experience as a shapewear ambassador, parading in her underwear through the streets of London. She opens up about the fears she faced, the backlash, and how she's learned to show up as her true self despite the noise. - Resilience Through Vulnerability: Laura discusses the impact of her personal history on her ability to show up authentically. She touches on overcoming trauma in her past, emphasising the importance of speaking out and supporting other women. - Being Yourself on Social Media: We talk about showing up authentically on platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram. Laura shares her tips on building a strong personal brand by being unapologetically herself—using emojis, being friendly, and speaking her truth, even in professional spaces.
