In this episode of Soul Podcasting, we’re sitting down with the incredible Angela Ross, host of SoCal Voices and former broadcast journalist, for a conversation that’s equal parts inspiring and empowering. Angela shares how the chaos of 2020—COVID, social unrest, and uncertainty—pushed her to start her podcast as both therapy and a platform for positivity. We’re talking all things legacy, voice, mindset, and strategy. From choosing “done over perfect” to time-blocking podcast work around a 9–5, Angela brings the realness. If you’ve been second-guessing whether it’s your time to start or scale your podcast, this is your sign.

In this episode of Soul Podcasting, we're diving into the real magic that happens when you work with a podcast team who truly gets your vision. I’m sharing personal stories of what it felt like to do it all alone — and what changed when I found aligned support for editing, graphics, and content repurposing. Plus, we’re flipping the script to talk about the friction and frustration that happens when your team doesn’t get you (because yep, I’ve been there too).

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why I believe podcasting is still the most underrated thought leadership tool in 2025. With all the noise online—fast content, flashy funnels, endless social media—I wanted to take a moment to slow down and remind you of the power of your voice. Podcasting isn’t just a content stream; it’s your platform for real influence, trust-building, and legacy creation. I’m talking from the heart in this one, friend. If you’re a creative, CEO, or visionary entrepreneur, I want you to see how podcasting can be so much more than a checkbox on your marketing plan. It’s your soulful stage to lead with purpose. So grab your tea or coffee, cozy up, and let’s dig into how this beautiful medium can shift your brand—and your leadership—in ways that truly matter.
