If your ideas feel a bit - or a lot - messy and muddy, you’re far from alone.
This is the #1 challenge I hear from women we work with.
We're too close to our own ideas so we're not sure what our audiences will be interested in.
We feel self-doubt or resistance that causes analysis paralysis.
We try to put too much information into our talks (hello, expert trap!).
This is why we are your idea whisperers.
In this episode, I share:
- Why it’s hard to get clarity on our own ideas
- Why you need a clear throughline that’s a palm tree and not an oak tree
- The biggest reason why all of your ideas feel overwhelming
- Specific things you can do to get clarity
- The purpose of resistance and vulnerability in your idea formation

Become Bookable Live Online Workshop - April 15, 2026
If you want to speak more but you’re not sure where to start or your efforts haven’t produced the results you want, I’m hosting a live online workshop called “Become Bookable: How to Get Speaking Invitations” on Wednesday, April 15th.
A lot of brilliant women assume they just need to pitch themselves more. But the real reason speakers get invited isn’t because they pitch harder — it’s because they’re positioned as bookable.
In this 3-hour interactive workshop live on Zoom, I’ll show you how speakers actually get invited — and help you clarify the positioning that makes event organizers say yes.
