Have you ever lost your voice?

What does it mean to find your voice?

This is the part where I put theory into practice. Essentially my hunch is that finding your voice involves using it.

Introducing the How You Find Your Voice podcast.

Each episode is a conversation with someone who has found their voice, and isn’t afraid to use it. Think writers, artists, activists, thinkers, entrepreneurs. People who have found purpose, passion, or a way of expressing themselves that is uniquely theirs.

We talk about their work, but also their lives; the turning points, the moments of doubt. The barriers they had to push through. How did they build their confidence, or rebuild it after it was lost? How did they find the courage to do it?

Why this podcast, and why now?

Part of this project is personal. I’m reclaiming my own voice, yes, and I’m trying to get my mojo back. But it’s more than that.

I want to understand voice from all angles: historically. Culturally. Socially. Biologically. Mythically. Even, sometimes, mystically. And most of all, through a female lens.

Let’s not beat about the bush. I’ll mostly be speaking to women (alongside non-binary people, trans women) and the occasional brilliant man. Not because this is about exclusion, but because women’s voices are still too often marginalised, softened, or sidelined, and I’m interested in what happens when they’re centred.

That said, these conversations are for anyone who recognises the quest. Everyone’s welcome.

A bit about me

My name is Jessie. I’m a writer by trade, a novelist by aspiration, and a lifelong listener.

I don’t have all the answers. I’m not a certified coach with patented life theories, or a high-flying CEO with productivity hacks. I’m no guru. What I am is deeply curious about other people and their stories.

I’ve programmed and run a literary and storytelling series for over a decade, and I’ve seen first-hand how powerful it can be to hear someone speak honestly about their life and work. Stories don’t just entertain, they orient us and remind us of what’s possible. That’s what this podcast is here to do.

What you can expect

Season one features conversations with some genuinely phenomenal women. I’ve interviewed some award-winning, internationally acclaimed writers, creatives, and activists, all talking about the courage and creativity it takes to find your voice.

You’ll hear women speaking openly about things we’re often taught to keep quiet about. Writers bringing forgotten women back from the footnotes of history. Poets and novelists giving silenced mythological characters their voices back. People who’ve pushed through self-doubt, silencing, or fear to make their work and claim their space.

Their stories are generous, thoughtful, and quietly transformative. I can’t wait for you to hear them.
