The podcast that empowers women in business to own their voice, be heard and create impact - one simple communication insight at a time.

You know your message and story matter, but something still holds you back from using your voice. Maybe it’s fear of judgement, overthinking what to say, or worrying you’ll get it wrong, so instead, you stay quiet.

Hosted by Sarah Collins, a former Senior TV Producer for ITV & ITN turned Media Trainer and ICF- Accredited Communication Coach. With over 20 years’ of experience in television production, Sarah has spent two decades shaping stories and messages for global audiences. She's now on a mission to bring simple, effective communication skills to the generation of women who were never taught them - but need them to thrive in business now more than ever.

Whether it’s scaling your voice to step into thought leadership in a media interview, speaking with confidence on camera, on stage and beyond or scaling the way you communicate in meetings and presentations - this podcast will help you use your voice to be heard, in the moments that matter.

Through a mix of solo and guest episodes, you'll gain real-world media insights, practical coaching techniques and honest conversations with experts in the speaking space, exploring what it really takes to use your voice effectively.

Remember to speak with intention, not hesitation and let your voice be heard.

  • 30. The Story Trust Gap: How To Stop Editing Yourself Before You Speak, with Hilary Salzman
    Oct 22 2026

    Have you ever sat on an opinion, softened your words, or edited yourself before you’ve spoken and wondered why you can’t just say what you really mean?

    In this episode of She Speaks to Scale, I’m joined by Hilary Salzman - Business Storytelling Consultant and Founder of the She Roars Club. Hilary spent 20 years in corporate marketing and then her own agency, molding her voice to fit into male-dominated spaces, until she reached breaking point. She then built a business helping women to use their lived experiences to build connections and scale their business.

    The episode features:
    🎙️The generational conditioning that taught women to stay quiet
    🎙️Being an introvert in a male dominated corporate environment
    🎙️Value Proposition Marketing as a different way of communicating.
    🎙️The Story Trust Gap - what it is, why it exists, and why it’s not a confidence problem
    🎙️ What it really means to roar and why it looks completely different for everyone

    About the Guest:
    Hilary Salzman is a Business Storytelling Consultant, author of The Roar of Her Story (shortlisted for a Business Book Award in 2025), and Founder of the She Roars Club, an accountability community for women founders.

  • 29.How To Work Through Self-Doubt and Speak With Confidence.
    Oct 15 2026

    Is self doubt holding you back from growing and scaling your business? If so, you're not alone.

    In this episode of She Speaks to Scale, I’m sharing something that stopped me in my tracks when I shared it in a recent talk. Research states that over a third of women who run their own business say that feelings of self-doubt are preventing them from growing and scaling. And other studies show that it’s not just founders this relates to - 70% of women in professional roles have experienced imposter syndrome, with almost half saying those feelings get more frequent as their career progresses.

    This episode is for every woman who has ever sat on an idea, stumbled over her pitch, or questioned whether she really belongs in the room.

    The episode also features:
    🎙️ What imposter syndrome actually is and why it doesn’t care how qualified or experienced you are
    🎙️ Why our generation was set up to feel this way
    🎙️ How self-doubt affects how you communicate and how others perceive you
    🎙️ Questions to help you understand what’s holding you back and how to move past it.

  • 28. From Not Having A Voice To Speaking On International Stages, With Amy Kelly
    Oct 8 2026

    In this episode of She Speaks to Scale, I'm joined by Amy Kelly - Nervous System and Identity Coach, Founder of The Unshakeable Woman and Host of the 'Dream Big with Amy' podcast.

    Amy is also a previous client of mine and it's been such a joy to have been part of her speaking journey - from not feeling like she had a voice, to gaining clarity on her story and mission, to now speaking on International stages.

    Take a listen, to understand what it really takes to rebuild your life and dream big, after walking away from a life you thought would be forever and how stepping into that identity as a speaker helped towards it.

    The episode also features:
    🎙️ The experiences that became the catalyst for everything Amy has built
    🎙️ What a dysregulated nervous system actually looks like and why it could be stopping you from using your voice
    🎙️ The identity shift Amy had to make to go from holding back her story to owning it on stage
    🎙️ What changed for Amy in the year since we worked together and what she does differently now as a result
    🎙️ Why messy inspired action is what gets you to the life and the stage you want
