Chrissi is sitting down with multi-passionate entrepreneur and podcast mentor Candace Dudley to talk all things podcasting, mindset, and what it really takes to make your voice heard—even when self-doubt creeps in.

From her days as a classroom teacher to building a thriving podcast and wholesale business, Candace shares the real story behind her transformation, the mental shifts that helped her step into entrepreneurship, and the practical steps that helped her hit record (even when the mic sat in a box for 3 months).

We cover:

• The identity crisis that comes with starting something new

• How to talk about yourself in the present tense to invite growth

• Why “just hitting record” is often the best next step

• Overcoming “who am I to say this?” energy

• Sustainable strategies for launching, growing, and staying in the game as a podcaster

• How podcast guesting can boost your visibility

• The one mindset practice every podcaster needs to stay consistent

Whether you’re thinking about starting a podcast or need a reminder that your voice matters, this episode will inspire you to take imperfect action—and finally do the dang thing.
