What if the secret to building confidence, connection, and community was just hitting “record”?
This week on Podcast Café, I’m joined by business mentor, serial entrepreneur, and podcast host Katy of #ActuallyICan. Katy's journey into podcasting didn’t start as a marketing strategy — it started as a way to share truth, connection, and the real stories that often get left off the highlight reel.
From launching multiple businesses to producing a podcast that’s evolving right alongside her life and work, Katy gets candid about burnout, pivots, and giving herself permission to do things differently — including stepping fully into her voice.
We cover:
Why podcasting is more than just a marketing channel — and how Katy learned to trust her voice
The evolution of #ActuallyICan and why it’s okay to shift directions
Building businesses that align with your real life (not just your revenue goals)
Her top advice for starting a podcast and avoiding burnout
The surprising power of podcasting to build deeper relationships — with yourself and your audience.
If you’ve ever wondered whether starting a podcast is “worth it,” this episode will give you the realest insight you need.
