Women’s Podcasting Masterclass: Find your voice

With Multi-Award-Winning Podcaster, Sangeeta Pillai

Women's podcasting course? You’ll love my podcast training for women.

When was the last time you really used your voice, really spoke your truth? Despite all the progress women have made, most of us STILL don’t use our voices. Because we’ve been socialised to be polite, to be nice, quiet little girls who grow into quiet women.

If you’ve struggled to use your voice, it’s not your fault sister. Patriarchal systems have conditioned us to stay quiet, for so long that we’ve forgotten our powerful voices.

I am here to teach you how to find and use your voice confidently.

Before we go further: why do we need a podcasting masterclass just for women? While female listeners makes up 49% of all podcast listeners, there are only half as many female podcasters as male. It’s time to change this!

Guess what, this isn’t just another podcasting course about microphones and tech. This is about unlearning the conditioning that keeps us small.

Podcasting gave me a loud voice. It showed me my true power. And it can do exactly the same for you.

There are plenty of courses that teach you how to plug in a microphone, but I teach you how to find the courage to speak into it – and find your authentic powerful self.

To give you the best of both worlds, I’ve split this Masterclass into two distinct modules. First, we will learn the fundamentals of crafting a brilliant podcast. Then, we take it a step further—we step into a professional studio to physically record your trailer.

This combination of mastering the basics and getting real-world studio experience (alongside my 8+ years of podcasating experience!) will help you find your voice and create your powerful podcast.

So are you ready? To speak. To shout. To roar.
