In this episode of Reclaim Your Voice, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my experience speaking at the Women Thrive Summit 2026.

From delivering my 45-minute keynote, How I Rebuilt My Confidence and Found My Voice Again, to navigating the mindset, preparation and reality of stepping onto a virtual stage in front of over 200 women in business.

This episode is a real and honest debrief of what it’s like to grow into your voice as a speaker, build confidence in business, and step into leadership as your business evolves.

I share what I’ve learnt about public speaking, why over-preparing can sometimes disconnect you from your message, and how trusting yourself in the moment is often where the real impact happens.

We also explore the power of being in the right rooms, the importance of mentorship and community, and how opportunities, collaborations and connections naturally expand when you step into visibility.

If you’re a coach, business owner or entrepreneur who wants to grow your confidence, improve your public speaking skills, and use your voice more powerfully in your business, this episode will speak directly to you.
