Why am I not getting the speaking opportunities I want?

It’s a question so many high-achieving women ask themselves—especially when they already have the experience, the credentials, and the passion to make an impact.

In this episode, I unpack what’s really behind the gap between your expertise and the kinds of speaking engagements you dream of.

The truth is, experience doesn’t automatically lead to visibility—or invitations.

I share my own story of hitting a plateau in my speaking career, and what finally made the difference (hint: it wasn’t more credentials).

You’ll learn the three key shifts you can make to go from being seen as someone who *teaches* to someone who *transforms*.

Here’s what we cover:
- How to break free from the “expert trap” that keeps your talks safe—but forgettable
- Why storytelling is your ticket to truly connecting with audiences (and event organizers)
- The importance of owning your identity as a speaker—and making it *visible*

These simple, strategic shifts can make all the difference between being overlooked and being in-demand.

Your voice matters. Your story matters. Let’s make sure people hear it.
