The Unmuted CEO
🎙️ You've been building your business in silence long enough, sis.
Welcome to The Unmuted CEO Podcast—where mom entrepreneurs stop second-guessing, start showing up, and finally get seen for the powerhouse they already are.
I'm Tammy Maynard—mom of six (yes, twins included!), visibility coach, and the woman who turned years of feeling invisible into a thriving business. And sis, if you've ever stared at that "Go Live" button for 20 minutes, rewritten the same caption seven times, or wondered if you'll EVER feel confident enough to show your face online—I see you. Because I've been you.
Here's what you'll find inside every episode:
Real talk about building visibility on YOUR terms—no hustle culture, no "rise and grind" BS, just strategies that work WITH your life, not against it.
Behind-the-scenes of what it actually takes to show up consistently when you're juggling kids, a business, and trying to remember if you ate lunch.
Mindset shifts that turn "I'm not ready" into "watch me work."
Practical systems for batch content creation, time management, and staying visible without burning out.
Guest conversations with women who've walked this path and come out the other side—thriving, not just surviving.
This isn't another podcast telling you to do more. This is permission to show up as you are, build confidence one post at a time, and finally turn that quiet potential into the seen, paid impact you've been dreaming about.
Whether you're a brand new entrepreneur or you've been lurking in the shadows for years, it's time to get unmuted. Your voice matters. Your business matters. And sis—you were made to be seen.
New episodes drop every Monday—because your next level of confidence can't wait.

Unmuted: Coming Back Stronger After the Pause
Sis, let’s be real — sometimes life pulls us into a pause we didn’t plan. Motherhood, business, faith, and even heartbreak can make us go quiet. But hear me: your silence was never the end, it was preparation.
In this powerful comeback episode, I’m opening up about my own season of pause — why I stepped back since March, what God revealed in the quiet, and how you can return to your calling stronger, more aligned, and more confident than before.
You’ll discover:
- Why the pause isn’t punishment, it’s protection.
- How to reframe “consistency” when you’re starting again.
- The three truths I learned about showing up after silence.
- A faith-rooted pep talk to remind you that your voice still matters.

Welcome to the Unmuted CEO podcast. I'm Tammy Maynard, and this is where Montrepreneurs come to turn quiet potential into seeing paid impact. If you've been billing in silence, second guessing your voice, or wondering when you'll finally step into the spotlight, you're in the right place. Here there's no fluff, no perfection, just real conversations about visibility, confidence, and building a business that works with your life, not against it. So grab your coffee girl, your tea, or whatever keeps you sane today. And let's dive in. Hey sis, it feels so good to be back behind this mic. It's been a minute, I gotta admit, and I know it's been a long while since the last time y'all heard from me. And if I'm being completely honest, I almost stayed gone. Girl, life got real. My face got tested, my brand, my relationship, my family, and even my voice had to be realigned. But here's the thing, silence does not mean defeat. The pause isn't punishment, it's preparation. But I had to figure that out the hard way. And today, I want to talk to you about what it really looks like to come back stronger after you've been away. Because if you've been feeling muted, forgotten, or like your place has been taken while you were on pause, sis, this one is just for you. I've been away since March. And in that time, I've walked through motherhood with my six babies. I've wrestled with my business decisions. I've had issues in my marriage. I've pressed into God about where he's leading me. And there were moments where I thought maybe my voice didn't matter anymore. God reminded me, my silence was not the end. It was my soil. The soil where he planted new vision, new confidence, and new clarity for what he's called me to do. Maybe you've been in that same seat. Sitting quiet, watching everyone else shine, wondering if you missed your chance. Let me tell you something right now. Your pause does not cancel your purpose. Here's what I learned during my pause, and what I want you to hold on to in yours. Number one, the pause preserves your purpose. God will pull you back when He knows you need protecting. Your pause might have saved you from burnout, maybe from wrong opportunities, or maybe even from stepping into rooms you weren't ready for. Number two, the pause purifies your priorities. When everything goes quiet, what really matters rises to the surface. For me, it was family, faith, and alignment. What about you? And number three, the pause prepares your platform. Every comeback is stronger when it's built on reflection, not just reaction. Your pause gave you depth. And now, when you speak, you'll carry more weight, more authority, more anointing. Alright, sis, let's make this practical. If you're ready to come back from your pause, here are three things that you can do today. Number one, write down one thing God showed you in your quiet season. Number two, decide on the next step that aligns with your feelings and not leave you overwhelmed. And number three, declare this over yourself. Done is better than muted. Because you don't have to come back perfect. You just have to come back present. Now, listen, sis. This is my first episode back. And maybe it's your first step back too. But let's do this together. Let's stop apologizing for the pause and start honoring it for what it is. Preparation. You're not behind. You're not even forgotten. Let me pray over you before we close, if you'll allow me to. Dear Lord, I thank you for every woman listening. Thank you for the pause that protected her. Thank you for the vision you've been growing in her. Give her the courage to return to her calling with boldness, with faith, and with confidence. Let her know she is not too late and her voice still is needed. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Girl, your comeback is already in motion. Now let's walk it out. Thank you so much for spending this time with me today. If this lit a fire in your soul, don't keep it to yourself. Share with another woman who needs this word. And let's grow this movement together. Be sure to subscribe and leave a review so you never miss an episode. And don't forget to grab your free visibility checklist. Link in the show notes.

Remember, girl, your comfort zone is not your friend zone. Break free, be bold, and keep showing up. This is Tammy Maynard. And you've been listening to the Unmuted CEO podcast, where we turn fear into fuel and dreams into reality. I believe in you, and I hope you do too. See you next time, sis.
