SHELLEY BOSWORTH’S PODCAST JOURNEY

Meet Shelley, the host of the She Is Courageous Podcast. With her valuable insights and practical tips, she helps listeners develop a brave mindset for success. Shelley firmly believes that everyone holds immense courage and power within themselves. Through her podcast, she hopes to inspire you to embrace your strength and realize that you too are courageous.

Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your background?

Following a 25-year life in corporate, I turned 40, experienced a personal health scare and significant personal loss in a very short space of time and began questioning everything, having worked with coaches in the corporate space I decided to work with a coach to help me get clarity on what I thought I wanted ... within 6 months I had decided to train as a coach myself and start my own business

What inspired you to start a podcast?

Honestly, I’ve been procrastinating for a while, many clients had asked if I would, I want to help as many women as possible and to do that I have to practice as I preach, get out of my own head and get courageous and so here I am ... sharing with hopefully even more women the power of our mindset in a practical way to help us get courageous and take action

How did you come up with the name of your podcast?

I think we put too much pressure on the word Confident and in my entrepreneurial journey, I have increasingly felt we need to build a courageous mindset so the title aligns with the community I am building and my mission to help as many women as possible get courageous and take action on their goals

What is the main focus or theme of your show?

Mindset in a practical and real way, in life and business

I share my own experiences keeping it real, I keep it relatively light-hearted but ultimately I want people to have their own lightbulbs and feel inspired and empowered to take action or do something differently so that they move forward rather than standing still, beating themselves up

Have there been any particularly memorable moments during the recording that stick out to you?

None yet as I am very early on in my journey

Who has been one of your favorite guests so far, and why?

-

What's next for your show – any exciting plans we should know about?

I plan to open up to guests looking for courageous women to share their inspiring stories, I hope to look to collaborate and maybe seek sponsorship too

A special thanks to SHELLEY for sharing her insightful podcast journey thus far and we wish her all the best with her continued podcast growth.
