In today’s episode, I sat down with Jacqueline Strominger—founder of Leap to Your Success and host of the Unstoppable Leadership Spotlight podcast. We had such a real conversation about what it actually takes to launch and sustain a podcast, from the struggles of finding the right support (and the lessons learned when things don’t go as planned) to keeping things authentic, unpolished, and full of heart. Jacqueline opened up about her passion for empowering leaders and why great leadership matters—not just for companies, but for all of us trying to create positive change.

If you’re a podcaster (or thinking about it), there’s honest wisdom here about processes, marketing, and finding your voice through the messiness. My hope is you walk away realizing your story is worth sharing—and perfection isn’t required. Thanks for tuning in. If this episode resonated, go ahead and share it with someone who needs a little encouragement today!
