Have you ever felt like fear of public speaking might hold you back from launching a podcast?

In this episode, I chat with Gaye O’loghlen, my mentor at Toastmasters, about how she overcame her own nerves and built confidence as a speaker. Gaye shares how the supportive community at Toastmasters can help anyone—yes, even the most nervous speakers—gain the skills needed to present with confidence and ease. You’ll also hear her practical tips on using vocal variety, smiling while speaking, and adding a touch of humour to make your podcast voice truly engaging.

By the end of this episode, you’ll walk away with actionable strategies to conquer speaking jitters, sound confident behind the mic, and create a connection with your audience. Whether you’re just starting out in podcasting or looking to sharpen your speaking skills, this episode will give you the tools to get started.
