If you have been wanting to guest on podcasts but don't know where to start, how to pitch, or what to do once you land the show, this episode is your masterclass.

As part of this month's Podcast Visibility Month, I'm interviewing Julie DeLucca-Collins, who's hosted her own podcast for years, has been on 100s of podcast shows herself, and runs a podcast agency with her husband. 

As both podcast hosts and avid guests on shows, we've teamed to share all of it so you don't have to learn the hard way.

In this episode:

• Why guesting is the smartest first move before you ever start your own show
• The number one mistake guests make that makes hosts never want to have them back
• How to research shows and pitch yourself in a way that actually gets a yes
• What to include in your pitch to make the host's job easy and your answer obvious
• The cardinal sin of podcast guesting and the guest who did it 287 times in 40 minutes
• How to use Gemini NotebookLM to research shows and find your perfect pitch angle
• What to do before, during, and after the episode to make the most of every appearance
• Why thank you goes further than you think and the etiquette most guests skip

Plus Julie shares her Spotify playlist tip for turning every past appearance into ongoing visibility. That one is gold.

It's a new month, and I'm calling it Podcast Visibility Month (which pairs so well with International Podcasting Day on September 30th)

Because lately I've had so many women ask me the same question: "Michelle, how do I get on podcasts?"

Whether you have a corporate job, run your own business, or are a subject matter expert, author, or speaker, podcasting is a powerful visibility channel for you.

This kickoff episode explores why podcasting matters more than ever right now. And what's coming this month to help you get started.

In this episode:

• Why podcasting builds instant credibility and trust in a way social media simply can't
• Why a podcast episode outlasts and outperforms any social media post
• How podcasting feeds your AI visibility and keeps you searchable and findable long after recording
• Why appearing on someone else's show gives you instant third-party authority
• How podcasting opens doors to relationships, referrals, and opportunities you'd never find otherwise
• Why you don't need your own show to start guesting is one of the best PR moves you can make right now

Plus, a sneak peek at everything coming this month: topics, pitching, do's and don'ts, interview prep, and how to turn one episode into lasting visibility.

You know you need to get out there. You're ready. But something keeps stopping you.

Maybe it's LinkedIn. Maybe it's speaking. Maybe it's pitching yourself as a podcast guest. Maybe it's finally launching that big thing you've been working on for months.

Whatever it is, this episode is for you.

Because I've been there. More times than I'd like to admit. And what I've learned after years of working through it myself and with clients is this, we don't need another certification, another course, or more time. 

We don't need to wait for someday. Someday is not a day on the calendar. You have everything you need right now.

In this episode:

• Why the thing stopping you isn't what you think it is
• The reframe from my TEDx talk that makes showing up so much easier
• How to give yourself runway before you put yourself out there
• The nano steps that make the hard part feel way less hard
• The one question to ask yourself before this episode ends

And I'm leaving you with one simple action. Just one. Because that's how it starts.

If this resonated, share it with a woman in your world who's been sitting on the sidelines waiting until everything feels ready. She needs to hear this.

DM me on LinkedIn and tell me — what is the one thing you've been putting off that you're going to take action on this week?

If you've been feeling ready to put yourself out there but something keeps stopping you, this episode is for you.

I've been there too. And I hear it constantly from the women I work with. You're ready. You know you have something to offer. But something just keeps getting in the way.

Here's what I want you to know. It's not a visibility problem. It's a clarity problem. And that is so much easier to fix.

I'm walking you through five questions that will unlock your personal brand, get you unstuck, and help you finally show up in a way that feels like you.

In this episode:

• Why putting yourself out there feels so hard and the simple reframe that changes everything
• Why visibility is not vanity; it's an act of service and a business asset
• The five questions that will help you get clear before you get visible
• Why a narrower lane gets you faster traction than trying to serve everyone
• How clarity leads to visibility and authority, in that order

Grab a pen. You're going to want to write these down.

If this resonated, DM me on LinkedIn and tell me you heard it. I'd love to hear from you.

What if you could take your book, your guide, your speaking topics, your blog posts, everything you've already created and instantly turn it into podcasts, visuals, quizzes, infographics, and more?

That's exactly what I'm sharing in this episode. And it's completely free.

A few weeks ago I was a guest on Gillian Whitney's Easy Peasy Books podcast and dropped what might be my biggest content gem yet: how I accidentally discovered that Google NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook) is the ultimate content amplifier for women experts, founders, authors, and speakers.

The feedback was so good I knew I had to bring it straight to you here.

In this episode:

• What Google NotebookLM actually is and why most people are only using a fraction of what it can do
• The moment I realized this tool was a total game changer for speakers and authors
• How I used it to prepare for a presentation in one afternoon walk with my AirPods
• Every use case you need to know audio podcasts, visuals, slides, quizzes, infographics and more
• How to use your existing body of work to create endless content that gets you seen and chosen

This one is for every woman expert who has more content than time and more brilliance than bandwidth.

In this episode:

• The difference between memorizing and internalizing and which one actually works
• What to do if you forget your words mid-talk 
• How to use your body, your hands, and the stage without overdoing it
• What to wear and what to absolutely never wear on a stage
• The truth about slides when they help, when they hurt, and why you should build your talk without them first
• And much more

A year ago today I stepped onto the red dot and delivered a TEDx talk at my alma mater, Florida State University.

It was one of the highest professional moments of my life. 

And yet the talk has never been released. Let's just call it organizer "technical difficulties" of no fault of my own.

It's a heartbreak I won't pretend doesn't sting. But here's what I know: the idea inside that talk is too important to stay quiet. 

That's why this episode feels so personal. On the one year anniversary of stepping on that red dot, I'm bringing you someone who has spent over a decade on the other side of it, Tessa Rawson, a TEDx organizer across Europe and the US and founder of Resonance, where she coaches speakers to land and deliver their TEDx talks and pitches.

If a TEDx talk is on your vision board, this episode is your starting point.

We discuss:

• The one question every great TEDx idea must be able to answer
• What organizers are actually looking for when they read your application
• The biggest mistake most applicants make and how to avoid it
• Why persistence and patience aren't optional and how long it really takes

And much more.

Part 2 is coming soon all about how to present once you land the spot.

This is the first of my new Visibility Spotlight Series to highlight the mission of the She's Visible™ movement, and I could not have asked for a better guest to kick it off 

Deb Drummond is an ultrapreneur, media company founder and visibility champion from Vancouver, BC who has built seven international companies and now dedicates her platform to getting more women on stages, on screens, and in pages. She is exactly the kind of woman I created this series for someone who has done the work, busted through the fear, and is now raising the bar for every woman listening.

In this episode Deb shares her story, her platforms, and the one mindset shift that changes everything when you're ready to step out but something keeps stopping you.

In this episode:

• The childhood belief that silently kept her from speaking up and how she finally broke through it
• What she does every single morning that gives her the courage to show up
• Why social media alone will never be enough for lasting visibility
• The three platforms she built to get more women seen at scale
• Why AI discoverability is the visibility opportunity women can't afford to ignore right now
• The one thing she tells every woman sitting on the sideline

People aren't going to Google to find experts anymore. They're going to AI.

ChatGPT. Claude. Perplexity. Gemini. Copilot. Decision makers, podcast hosts, event bookers, and potential clients are using these tools to find and recommend experts just like you. And if you're not showing up there, you're invisible in a whole new way.

I know because it happened to me. Starting in January 2025, people began booking calls, telling me they found me through ChatGPT or Claude. And then they hired me. That's when I knew AI visibility wasn't optional anymore.

In this solo episode, I'm introducing something I've been building for you: The Recognition Ready™ AI Visibility Guide for Experts. A 20-page guide that walks you through exactly my framework on what AI needs to find, trust, and recommend you.

In this episode:

• Why AI is now the new search engine and what that means for you
• The three signals AI absolutely needs to recommend you
• Why LinkedIn is more critical than ever
• How to get first-mover advantage right now, before everyone else catches on

If you caught Part 1 last week, you already know Antonia Taylor is my sister in women's visibility. This week, we're back with the six new rules of visibility that will propel you forward this year and beyond.

Antonia and I each brought three rules you can use to stop waiting and start showing up for that ONE thing you're hiding from, holding back on, or hesitant to show up and be seen. Today, not SOMEDAY, is your moment to confidently put yourself out there.

This episode will show you:

• Why visibility starts with how you see yourself before any content plan or strategy
• The clarity practice that works for you AND for AI search
• How to nurture yourself for visibility so it actually sticks
• Why being credible means letting others validate what you already know
• How to find your place of power, the channel that lights you up and works for you
• Why continuity beats perfection every single time
