	Say Yes to You! – Is Here	03 Dec 2025	00:01:12
Are you tired of playing small and hiding behind the scenes? Watching people with less experience step into the spotlight while you dim your own light? Feeling deep down that you were meant for more, yet still holding yourself back? I’ve been there. And I’m here to tell you: it’s time to step out of the shadows and get visible. Welcome to Say Yes to You! - my podcast for women in business who are ready to be seen, heard, and fully themselves. I’m Kier Adair - Visibility Expert, Founder of The Speak and Shine Collection, International Brand Photographer, and Best-Selling Author. With over 20 years of experience, I empower women to rise, grow their businesses, and claim the success they deserve. I created this show as an invitation to stop waiting for permission and start saying yes to you. Say Yes to You! is uplifting, empowering, and real. Each episode features honest conversations, practical visibility strategies, and stories from my own journey, including the powerful shifts that happened every time I said yes to something that scared me. I’ll share the life-changing year in my business that began with a simple idea and grew into a movement, and why connection and collaboration are essential for feeling safe enough to be truly seen. This isn’t just another podcast paying lip service to visibility. These are raw, relevant conversations that women need to hear to understand what becomes possible when we get out of our own way. Alongside my solo episodes, I’ll be bringing on inspiring thought leaders who will motivate you to step up, speak out, and take action. More women need to be seen and heard if we want meaningful change. So if you’re ready to become the elevated version of yourself, the woman who says yes to opportunities without second-guessing her worth, her voice, or her potential. This podcast is for you. It’s your time. It’s your voice. It’s time to say yes to you. Make sure you follow the show so you never miss an episode.

	Ep 03: The Power Cs – Connection, Community & Collaboration	12 Mar 2026	00:15:00
In this uplifting episode of Say Yes To You, I take you on a deep dive into the three “Power Cs” that have transformed my business and visibility: Connection, Community, and Collaboration. Drawing from personal experience and the evolution of my own brand, I reveal how finding the right people, spaces, and intentions has shifted everything from feeling isolated to becoming unstoppable. I share candid stories about navigating “wrong rooms,” letting go of relationships that no longer serve us, and the strategic ways I keep meaningful connections alive post-networking. From vibrant online communities to energizing in-person events, I show how building your tribe can spark joy, inspire growth, and open doors you never thought possible. Key Takeaways: Find your aligned rooms. It’s not just about networking for networking’s sake—seek out spaces (online and in person) that nurture your growth and business. Be intentional with your connections. Follow up with those who spark something in you, and use small nuggets from your first meeting to stay memorable and authentic. Community breeds confidence. Surrounding yourself with vibrant, like-minded women is crucial for overcoming the challenges of entrepreneurship and feeling less alone. Collaborate for greater impact. Partnerships are most powerful when complementary skills, mutual respect, and shared aspirations unite and when you genuinely enjoy working together! Hybrid connection is key. Deepen relationships by combining online networking with real-life meetups. Something to Try: After your next event or networking session, jot down notes about each person who resonated with you, what stood out, what they wore, or a random detail. Follow up authentically in the DMs (no sales pitch needed!), and arrange a virtual coffee or in-person meetup to keep the conversation flowing.

	Ep 02: Realising the Power of Saying Yes	12 Mar 2026	00:14:29
In this transformative episode of Say Yes To You, I take you on a powerful journey through the pivotal moments that shaped my mantra and the podcast’s namesake of saying yes to you. From my fearless 19-year-old self, passport and camera in hand, to the energy-draining years I spent in corporate life, I share how my choices, intuition, and sometimes audacious yeses ignited real change in my life. I open up about the reality of feeling lost in the “shoulds” of life, the brave leap I took from a “safe” corporate role into the uncertain world of entrepreneurship, and how each yes from booking a business coach I wasn’t sure I could afford to rediscovering my passion for photography sparked a ripple effect not only for me, but for countless other women. As the founder of the Speak and Shine Collection and a dedicated brand photographer, I share the magic that happens when women choose visibility over fear. Inspired by the true stories of Sally, Pauline, Gemma, Caz, Trudie, Karen, Amanda, and Sapna, women who transformed their lives and careers with one courageous yes, I reflect on the powerful impact that comes from finally saying yes to ourselves. Key Takeaways: The courage to say yes to yourself and your intuition can shift the entire trajectory of your personal and professional life. Fulfillment is found by aligning your actions with your purpose, not just following the path of least resistance or “shoulds.” Visibility is a catalyst for more than business growth; it’s the foundation for becoming unstoppable. Community is everything. Surrounding yourself with vibrant, supportive women creates powerful momentum and lifts you higher. Audacity pays off. Your willingness to ask, step up, and invest in yourself is the spark for true transformation. Something to Try: Reflect on a moment when you followed your gut or took an unexpected chance. Where might you be called to say yes to yourself right now—even if it feels scary or uncertain? What’s one bold action you can take to step closer to your true self, purpose, or dream? For ongoing inspiration, stories of women rising, and practical tips to grow your visibility and confidence, hit follow and stay tuned for more episodes.

	Ep 01: My Shower to Stage Story	12 Mar 2026	00:15:27
In this inspiring first episode of Say Yes To You, I share my deeply personal journey from feeling unseen and unheard to spearheading a movement that empowers women to find their voice. What began as an idea in the shower eventually grew into the Speak and Shine Summit. Along the way, I open up about the real struggles I’ve faced with chronic fatigue, health setbacks, and the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. As a visibility expert and founder of the Speak and Shine Collection, I talk honestly about how I overcame self-doubt, perfectionism, and the fear of standing out, challenges so many women face. Through my story, I share the magic that can happen when we step up, show up as our real selves, and lean into the power of community support. I also introduce the concept of the “brand image effect”, how images and visibility can build confidence, attract opportunities, and ultimately create greater success. Key Takeaways: Visibility is transformative, embracing your story and showing up authentically can shift everything, both personally and professionally. Community amplifies courage. Surrounding yourself with supportive, vibrant people is key to sustaining momentum and overcoming self-doubt. Health comes first. Listening to your body and prioritizing well-being can reignite your passion and energy. Progress is layered, not overnight. Years of experiences, relationships, and tiny brave acts set the stage for those “overnight” successes. Say yes to new challenges. Taking bold action, even when it feels out of your comfort zone, can create ripple effects far beyond your initial intentions. Something to Try: Reflect on an area where you’ve been playing small or hiding. What one action could you take today to step into greater visibility, even if it feels imperfect? Sometimes it just starts with saying "yes" to you. For more empowering stories and to join a community where your voice truly matters, hit follow and tune in to upcoming episodes.

	Ep 04: Reclaiming Your Voice with Gill McKay	19 Mar 2026	00:24:45
In this empowering episode of Say Yes To You, I welcome my first guest, speaker coach and partner-in-crime Gill McKay, as we explore a powerful question: why do women stop themselves from saying yes? Together, we dive into the mindset blocks, self-doubt, and comparison traps that can hold us back from stepping into visibility and embracing opportunities whether that’s on stage, in business, or in life. Drawing on our experience with the Speak and Shine Collection, Gill and I share real stories and practical strategies about creating safe spaces, moving beyond perfectionism, and reframing those internal gremlins that whisper “why me?” Our conversation is honest, relatable, and full of golden nuggets, showing how real growth happens when women support each other, celebrate their uniqueness, and take imperfect action. Gill also opens up about some of her own life-changing “yeses” including quitting drinking, delivering a deeply vulnerable TEDx Talk, becoming the Speaker Coach with Speak and Shine showing the incredible ripple effect that one bold decision can create. ✨ Key Takeaways: Safe spaces fuel courage, surround yourself with women who hold you, uplift you, and have your back is key for stepping into visibility and dispelling self-doubt. Social media can trigger “comparisonitis,” but remembering your unique strengths and messaging helps you connect with the right audience. Perfection isn’t the goal. Audiences value authenticity and realness far more than over-polished performances; being yourself on stage is what truly resonates.

CIC, a UK Community Interest Company breaking the cycle of shame and period poverty that keeps girls out of school and steals their futures. For eight years she has partnered with Kenyan charities to deliver menstrual health education and reusable period products in rural and slum communities, engaging boys and girls together to dismantle stigma at its root. Her work addresses a devastating chain: missed school days leading to dropout, early pregnancy, early marriage, and increased health risks including HIV. Reusable period products are not just a practical solution. They are the equity girls living in poverty need to stay in school. Without them, menstruation becomes a monthly barrier to education, opportunity, and the right to a future. By breaking the silence around period poverty and shame, and pairing dignified period products with body literacy education for both genders, Anne gives young women the tools to rewrite their stories and fulfill their ambitions. A champion for gender equality and inclusion, Anne is also a tennis coach who runs an inclusive weekly programme for adolescents and young adults with learning, physical, and sensory disabilities.

Her work didn’t start with qualifications, it started with lived experience. There was a time when she felt completely exhausted, in pain, and disconnected from herself. She didn’t have the energy to show up for my family, let alone build a life or business she loved. That was her turning point. She had to stop pushing through and start listening to her body. Through that process, she began to understand how stress, blood sugar, hormones and lifestyle are all connected, and how small, sustainable changes can completely shift how we feel and show up. Now, she helps women who feel stuck, overwhelmed or like 'nothing is working anymore' to rebuild their energy, stabilise their blood sugar and feel like themselves again. Because when your energy comes back, you stop playing small and finally start saying yes to yourself and your business.

She has partnered with organisations across the public and private sectors, helping leadership teams navigate change, build trust and create workplaces where people can think clearly, communicate openly and perform at their best. Having spent her career supporting people through increasing complexity and pace, Zoë has become fascinated by one question: How do we create the conditions for people to thrive in a world that's moving faster than humans were designed for? She believes many of today's challenges aren't caused by capability but by the environments we've created. We've confused speed with progress, become trapped in cycles of constant achievement and forgotten to listen to one of our greatest sources of intelligence—ourselves. Her work explores how slowing down, simplifying, taking meaningful breaks and creating healthier habits can help people think more clearly, communicate more effectively and build stronger relationships. Whether she's working with executive teams, facilitating leadership programmes or speaking on stage, Zoë's passion is helping people create the conditions where individuals, teams and organisations can think well, connect well and build a meaningful legacy.
