  • 254. Top tier tips from TV reporter Ashleigh Paholek

    Ever wondered how TV reporters keep their cool when the camera is rolling live and there’s no second take?

    In this episode, I’m joined by Ashleigh Paholek – confidence coach, Channel 10 Melbourne news reporter, and founder of Tier Society.

    Ashleigh shares:

    • 🎥 The nerve-wracking story of her very first live cross – and how she stopped her voice from shaking.

    • 💪 Her top strategies for recovering when things go wrong mid-presentation.

    • 🙌 The surprising confidence lessons from approaching strangers for vox pops (and why rejection isn’t personal).

    • 🍺 The most Aussie news story she’s ever covered – yes, it involves a kangaroo and a beer.

    • 🎤 Why she believes confidence is a decision, not a personality trait.

      We also swap our own live-TV war stories, laugh over on-air bloopers (Lod Raver, anyone?), and talk about the real preparation that makes confidence look effortless.

      If you’re an aspiring or emerging journalist, a public speaker, or just someone who wants to care less about what people think and show up with more presence – this episode is packed with practical tips you can use straight away.

                  In this episode, I’m diving into a big question that landed in the podcast DMs:

                  “How do I simplify my message? I feel like I get muddled and go off on tangents.”

                  Been there? Me too.

                  As a business owner of nearly 7 years, I know how quickly your message can become a tangled web of ideas. So today I’m sharing three ways to bring it back to clarity:

                  💡 In This Episode:
                  • ✨ Why writing your “quotable quotes” is a game-changer for clarity

                  • 🎯 How to zoom in to stand out in a world full of noise

                  • 🗣 Why speaking it out loud is your fastest path to a clear message

                  • 📚 Behind-the-scenes of writing VOICEPRINT (and why pre-orders matter so much!)

                          • 249. Nude Swim 2.0

                            In this wild episode, I take you behind the scenes of one of the most unexpected moments of my life — landing butt-naked on the front page of a newspaper. Yep, you read that right.


                            But this isn’t just a cheeky tale for laughs (although it’ll give you plenty). It’s a rally cry for full-bodied, unfiltered, soul-deep self-expression — the kind your voice is craving.

                            Inspired by my second time doing the Dark Mofo Winter Solstice Nude Swim, this episode is about so much more than stripping off. It’s about stripping back the fear, judgement, and conditioning that keeps your voice small.

                            I share:

                            • 📰 The story behind that Hobart Mercury front page moment

                            • 🌊 Why the nude swim became a portal for self-discovery and healing

                            • 💡 What cold-water skinny dipping has to do with vocal freedom

                              Because your VOICEPRINT isn’t something you perform. It’s something you uncover. And that starts with the courage to drop the layers — metaphorical and otherwise — and let the real you be heard.

                                • Emotional techniques to connect with your authentic voice, including imagining the opposite — what if you weren’t allowed to speak?

                                • Why self-doubt is a privilege, and how that perspective can fuel courage

                                • My personal stories of resilience, from mountain climbs to handling social media trolls with humor and heart

                                • The surprisingly easy thing you can do right now to reclaim your voice
                                • Whether you struggle with public speaking, personal expression, or simply finding your confidence, this episode offers practical insights and inspiration to help you step into your authentic voice and speak up in moments that truly matter.

                                    • 245. Why you need a classy clapback

                                      Ever been hit with a ridiculous comment that left you speechless? Whether it’s “You’re profiting off cancer” or a sly dig at your pricing, negative feedback can rattle even the most seasoned professional—especially when your work is heart-led and purpose-driven.

                                      In this episode of That Voice Podcast, I’m unpacking what it means to deliver a classy clapback—not a snarky comeback, but a clear, confident response that protects your message, your mission, and your mindset.

                                      ✨ You’ll learn:
                                      — Why ignoring criticism isn’t always the best option
                                      — How to build your own Q&A doc (just like we did in PR!)
                                      — The secret sauce to turning hard questions into mic-drop moments
                                      — Why “Yes, and…” is the most disarming way to begin a clapback
                                      — How to prepare responses to both public critics and your inner doubts

                                      🧀 Plus: a smelly cheese metaphor you won’t forget. (You’re welcome.)

                                      Whether you’re growing a business, building a brand, or just sick of being caught off guard by comments that linger in your brain at 3am—this one’s for you.
