Cat Marshall’s posts made me stop and think several times. Cat Marshall, the Intuitive Uplevel Queen who is helping spiritual female entrepreneurs own their worth and show up unapologetic, shared some of her darker moments and experiences as she was going through a hard time. I found those posts inspirational and I was grateful for what she was sharing, because I felt like it was giving me more knowledge should I ever need it. So I wanted to talk to Cat and offer our conversation to more of you there hoping it will inspire you, too.
What You’ll Learn:
- How powerful it can be to share your dark moments with your audience
- About our responsibility to open ourselves to be able to hear what we need to heal
- How we can access wisdom or knowledge in what is happening to us
- The way to access gratitude in the middle of a s**tstorm
- Becoming more authentic through traumatic experiences
Healing changes our relationship with our parents, with our friends, with our family, and it changes the way we show up with strangers, both on a practical and an energetic level. When we do this work, we show up completely differently, and that is where your power lies.

With Suzy Ashworth, who is a Quantum Transformation and Embodiment Coach for entrepreneurs, I went through an incredible experience on a retreat we attended together. We were integrating and processing lots of change, and we already knew we were going to be working together the following week to relaunch Suzy's podcast under a completely different brand and with a different message. In this episode, we talk about Suzy’s new show Infinite Receiving, and where that shift has all come from for her.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to overcome the hesitancy and reticence about when you are creating a personal brand
- Why it’s important that you feel full of yourself first, and then to expect to receive everything else you desire and need
- What kind of shift happens when you start leading the way you truly are
- How to know what you need to share most
- Practical steps for going from a business to a company
- What to do when you want to move forward, but you feel like you don't know what you're doing
The work with Infinite Receiving is important because it starts with the human. You can have the stuff on top, and you can take stuff on top away, but you still have the whole human.
Creating a business where every single person understands the values has been and will continue to always be the biggest challenge.

At the Positively Influential live event, I had the pleasure and honour to talk to Lisa Mitchell. Lisa is the founder of The Visionary Collective, and she helps people get clarity on their vision, so they can create organisations and cultures where other people can co-create with them to deliver the shared vision.
What You Will Learn:
- How to overcome a fear of being spiritual in the business world
- Why it is important to create organisations that are joyful, inspiring and empowering places to be
- How the fear of showing who you are limits you
- The most challenging parts of deciding to change direction with your business
- What we've got to share with people if we want to influence how they live their lives
The bravest thing we can ever do is show up as ourselves. People want the connection, we just have to serve as a model for them and give them permission through the way we're being.

This is a conversation held at my Positively Influential live event with Pete Cohen. Pete is the host of the Future Self Podcast and one of today's most recognisable practitioners of high performance psychology and leadership. He is also well known for his expertise as resident life coach on GMTV. Let’s get to know Pete better.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why most people see a future they don’t want
- Why we often are not the person to be able to help those closest to us with their personal development
- How to find a safe space for yourself to unravel the professional and the personal
- Should you be public about your experiences when going through tough times?
- What we need more of right now to be able to grow
As Pete says, look for a future when you don't necessarily see one. Look at life from your perspectives and be curious about it. Because that’s the best way to grow.

Today, I’ll go over some of the modalities that I've been leaning into, why I decided to do that and what the impact has been for me so far.
What You’ll Learn:
- What Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) is and how it works
- The concept of quantum realities and how it’s connected to our everyday life
- What Theta healing is and what it has done for me
I feel like my role is to demonstrate human imperfection as I go through personal growth and transformation, and I love how free these techniques have made me feel.

Today I'm talking about the impact of menopause on me personally and how it then affects business and life. I'd listened to Davina McCall on Steven Bartlett's podcast and I was impressed by the bravery and the courage that she gave in sharing what menopause had done for her as an upbeat public facing woman. So I was inspired to share some experiences from my world and the steps I've taken to improve circumstances for myself.
What You’ll Learn:
- How to recognise if you are entering menopause and find the right support to go through that period
- How to empower your close friends and family to communicate with you if they see or experience anything from you that's a bit out of the norm
- The benefits of being open about what is happening to you when you are menopausing
75% of women who go through menopause are badly affected by it. If you're a woman, you may need to go and get yourself checked or investigate it. If you are a man, you're going to know someone in your life who's going through it. I want us all to have much happier, easier rides in our life. And the more people who are bringing our attention to something that affects so many people, the better.

Today's episode is all about a little adventure I've decided to take myself on. I'm talking about my decision to train as a breathwork facilitator. I’ve also decided that 2023 for me is about coming into a period where I want to delve much more into my own personal development and potentially add strings to my bow for my business.
What You’ll Learn:
- The transformative power of breath
- Chief drivers for your transformational work
- How to do the best of your ability when you want to learn something
- Breathwork as a pathway into accelerating your sense of purpose
Since we are spiritual beings in human bodies, we need to make the most of this instrument that we have, which is our breath. So give your best to find the practices that make you feel more connected to a higher power, and I promise it’s going to be an interesting journey.

In September 2022 I joined a group of 40 female entrepreneurs, invited to do some work with Richard Branson around our businesses and making a bigger impact in the world. Richard Branson got very involved with us all, so today I am sharing takeaways from that valuable experience.
What You’ll Learn:
- How stepping away from everyday life makes you see things with more clarity
- The power of being together with the right people to help each other grow and evolve
- How being visible and sharing important things is valuable for others to make their big shift
This trip gave me the final push to rebrand and made me realise that I have all I need, I just have to choose which race I am in. And as I said to Richard Branson, you never know whose life you are going to touch.

The title of this episode might surprise you. However, the witch wound can affect many of your relationships and friendships, the way you show up in your business and the form of leadership you are stepping into.
What You’ll Learn:
- What the witch wound is and how I became aware of this energy
- How connection to a wise woman from the past can help you choose your direction
- How generational trauma passed down genetically affects an entire generation when something major happens
- Why women often don’t feel safe to make their voices heard and how this echoes in the online space
- Why many of us are wounded by the behaviours of other women who find female friendships challenging
You don't have to stay paralysed by other people's neglect or poor behaviour. It's perfectly safe to go out into the world and find people on the same wavelength as you. Whatever is happening for you has happened so that you recognise your inner power.

I want to kick the year off by reminding you about one of the best ways you can get through your year: by connecting with your best friend - your inner guidance system. Ignoring your intuition is what can take you painfully off course. So my encouragement to you for 2023 is to find out how you can drop into the space of your intuition.
What You Will Learn:
- How to know when it’s time to accelerate and when it’s time for deep rest
- How to look after yourself so that you can give to the people around you without depleting yourself
- Why you’d want to consider letting go of some current influences in your life
Intuition isn't just a niggly feeling in your gut. It is every single cell in your body acting like an advanced warning system. The more you can find that space to drop in, the better life is going to be.

Many of you mentioned it was intriguing for you to hear about me coming out of the spiritual closet. I often feel quite uneasy about the language around spirituality, because I grew up in a household where any concept of faith or religion was frowned upon. But the concept of higher power, higher guidance and overall intelligence do make sense for me. So today, I want to run through some of the things that have led me to feeling much more spiritually connected.
What You’ll Learn:
- Learnings from the hard things you’ve gone through are going to set you on the right path again
- Why crashes and clashes happen when you let go of the trust that the universe is guiding you, and tap strongly into ambition and drive
- Why any work where you can become aware of or alter the consciousness beyond the day-to-day living is valuable for you
I know that there can be a real fear about stepping into the spiritual space and letting other people know that it is part of you. If you tap into that intuitive, wise part of you right now, ask yourself what it is trying to tell you - what do you need to do to show up in the world and make the difference you're here to make?

Whilst we can have a lot of fun at Christmas, it can bring up a lot of stress as well. I want to share with you what I do to make sure I enjoy Christmas rather than getting overly stressed about it as a business owner and as a human being.
What You’ll Learn:
- Remember that the whole point of Christmas is to enjoy yourself
- Why it’s important to remind yourself and your loved ones that Christmas is not about having absolutely everything
- How to mentally prepare yourself for people, situations and places you find challenging if you are going to be around them
- Why it is essential to take time for yourself
Our business, our life, and our sense of self are so intrinsic to each other. I want us to kickstart the next year in a great positive way together. We are hosting our 28 Days of Business & Self Transformation Challenge. Sign up now at www.annapn.co/28days!

How do you know what your priorities are? If you are building an impact driven business, there are probably times where you are putting business first. But sometimes we have to ask ourselves, is that balance of what's important to us reflected in our diaries, in our activities, in our thoughts and actions?
What You’ll Learn:
- How you can bring gratitude and appreciation in the midst of challenging circumstances
- Why it is important to calibrate your thoughts when stressful things come up
- How to relook at your diary
- How to prepare everyone around you for the fact that you might be less present than you would like to be or than you usually are
- How you can carve out some time for yourself when you've got challenges coming up that need your attention
What are you not prioritising that needs to be your priority? And how can you future proof yourself and your business by getting some processes and support in place now, before a challenge comes up? Look at your diary, put the priorities that you know in your heart first, and make sure you excel when those times crop up.
We're preparing an incredible 2023. For the first 28 days of January we are hosting our 28 Days of Transformation FREE Challenge. If you want to make a difference to how you start 2023, go to www.annapn.co/28days

In my eagerness to get a new rebranded version of my podcast off the ground, I haven't taken the chance to introduce myself properly to those of you who have maybe never listened to me before. This episode is a bit of a formal introduction to who I am, my background, what I'm doing, and what I believe my work is all about.
What You’ll Learn:
- My journey from an actor to entrepreneur
- The moment in my life that has changed everything
- How audio has shaped my life
- The failures that I've made along the way
- Why I'm always exploring and expanding my sense of personal development
- Why I decided to strip back and be much more open and honest

If you've been watching my progression through social media, my emails or on this podcast, you will know that I have rebranded my entire business. We now have Influential Audio for the podcasting side, whereas Influential Vision is the higher level of the business. So what is Influential Vision all about and why have I done that?
What You’ll Learn:
- The vision I had during my awakening moment
- Why we need to have people ahead of us who are lighting the way for us
- What you can do when your personal sense of vision, mission and message are getting lost
- Why I am building the Influential Circle
- How participating in honest conversations can be the catalyst for change for you
I believe that you can change any situation, but sometimes you have to sit in the mud for a little while, which is what I've experienced and shared with you. Now I can step more fully into the vision of what I'm building.
We have our very first Influential Circle in person event in January 2023. Make sure you are on our events list at www.annapn.co/events and let’s develop an environment of change together.

Today's episode is about how I went from a crying, miserable, unhealthy mess to being a happy individual, finding the route back to doing something I love, and being a nicer and a more honest version of myself.
What You’ll Learn:
- What to do if you need a duvet day or a duvet week
- Why you should be honest with people around you when you are not great
- Why it can be a good idea to reach out to a coach who doesn’t know you
- Getting clear about things that might bring you joy outside of the business
- How you can get help if things don't feel good for you right now
I hope you can find your own journey back to elements of joy. To support you on that journey, I am building a connected community where we’ll regularly have live podcast shows.

Today, on my 45th birthday, I want to highlight how much can change in a year when you need to strip things back. No matter who you are, you can fall, you can crumble, but you can pick yourself up again. Over the last few months, we have rebranded a lot of my business from the Podcast Agency and Anna Parker-Naples Limited to Influential Audio.
I'm going to share today with you the most vulnerable, honest and raw stuff that I've ever shared in my five years of podcasting - what I've learned, who I'm choosing to be and how I'm choosing to show up as I become more and more visible.
What You’ll Learn:
- Where to turn when you feel the wake up call
- How to face your vulnerable period so you can heal yourself
- How to prepare for influences that bring you forward
- Why you need to be thankful for what the crisis has showed you
Wake up calls are important and they can come in all shapes and sizes. One of my biggest learnings over the last 18 months was that I've realised that deep connection friendship matters.
And we are planning, with every event that we have, the ability for you to meet other people on the same wavelength. You can find out about our first live event at www.annapn.co/events and get on the waitlist!

Welcome to what feels like a monumental episode. I've been hosting Entrepreneurs Get Visible for nearly three years. Now we are consciously rebranding and evolving the business and my personal brand. It became clear to me that this podcast needed to evolve with me, to elevate itself and its message so that I can continue to share from the heart and be passionate about my message.
So this is the last episode of this podcast as Entrepreneurs Get Visible. We're going to take a short hiatus so that on the third anniversary of this podcast, we can come back with a bang!

I'm talking today about my decision to begin to separate my personal brand and myself from my business, the reasons why I'm doing that, and what I've done to date in order to pave the way for them being two separate entities.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why I decided to change my social media handles
- Why I kept holding myself back from rebranding even though I registered the business a while ago
- How my message has shifted
I want the business to be much more than me, and to not just be about podcasting. So we've rebranded to Influential Audio, and we are interested in working with people who are passionate about global consciousness.

Have you got a bit bored by your own content? Listen in to find out what you can do about it!
What You’ll Learn:
- Consider rebranding if you feel like you’ve grown out of what you’re representing
- How to determine if your audience is starting to switch off from the content that bores you
- How you can make some easy and simple changes that excite you
- How to make changes pretty quickly by telling the right story around it
We can get lost in the need for perfection, and perfectionism is the thief of joy. Move forward and react to intuitive feelings and messages that are coming through for you. If you've started to become a little bit bored of your own content, I believe that there's something bigger going on for you.

If you don't want to sell your business, why would you think about building it with the view to sell it?
What You’ll Learn:
- Why you might want to remove 95% of your time from your business
- Why you won’t be able to sell the company if you are holding all of the strings and are the only doer in your business
- What happens with your business when you build out standard operating procedures for every single activity
The most important thing isn't whether or not you want to sell your business, it's the fact that you can learn to scale your business and uplevel as a business owner. When you start removing yourself from your business, your personal brand is still important, but the business sits on its own.

Batch creation is particularly poignant at this time of year, when many people are going off on holiday. But this doesn't just have to be for the summer. This is a great way to think about elevating your status, continuing visibility, and giving yourself room and space to have assets that are valuable for your business without you having to be present all of the time.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why it is a good idea to batch create the assets for your podcast
- What you, as a creator, get as a result of bundling together your time
- How batch creation improves your content
- Why your tasks are getting done much quicker during batch creation
If you're not batch creating yet, start doing that and putting it in your diary, so that is a firm commitment. Visibility is very important, but not at the expense of your health, and not at the expense of you feeling overwhelmed and pressured.

Podcast Sales Funnel http://www.annapn.co/funne
My friend Rochelle Dallas, a business transformation coach, online business mentor and Managing Director of Course You Can, explains why you are not going to come into the online space and suddenly wake up as a millionaire. While it certainly is not impossible, it doesn't happen without laying some strong business foundations first.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
-
Where the motivation to get your message out there comes from
-
The little steps in between a freebie and a high ticket
-
Having a self-study program is a great way of bottling up your knowledge and selling it
-
The number one tip for clients' onboarding process
-
Why clients need to be able to independently move through their own transformation and build their own courses even if you are not near
-
How we can package up our own personal knowledge that then has a wider impact
There are massive opportunities now for semi-passive, recurring income if you create a course, but not all courses are done well. Make sure that ayour clients are informed and are looked after from the moment they onboard. Think about all the people that are missing the deep understanding and the deep development work that you can give them, and get all the elements in your business right.

Podcast Sales Funnel http://www.annapn.co/funnel
I'm recording this episode after two days at The Podcast Show in London. In the evening, we were lucky enough to get tickets to see Fearne Cotton's live show of her podcast Happy Place. She was interviewing Sara Cox, who I've grown up listening to. It was more than interesting to watch these very accomplished women have a very frank and open conversation about their own vulnerability.
Today I want to share with you the lightbulb moments that have happened for me as a result of watching and experiencing this intimate live show. I’m inviting you to tune in and think about this as well.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
-
Why a mismatch between public perception of who you are and what you stand for can be uncomfortable, but will make you more visible
-
Why letting people see who you are might be a more effective and a more heartfelt way to make a difference for the listeners
-
How to line up your true self and your brand
-
How honest are you in your desire to be available and seen by your potential clients?
Wherever you're at right now, know that it's okay. We're perfect just the way we are. And the word perfect is even unnecessary.

I'm speaking from the heart today about what's happened for me as a result of starting this podcast and the lessons that I've learned in the nearly five years that I've been in business.
I've made it very clear through this podcast and through my books what I stand for. As a result of having a strong podcast, and having a strong personal brand, I’ve got a wealth of connection, recommendation, relationship, collaboration and friendship. But it has taken consistency, and a level of boldness and confidence about what I’m doing.
The sooner you realise that everything you're doing in business should be a test, a trial and a learning opportunity, the sooner you are going to be able to adjust, pivot, change and course correct.
I still stand by the fact that being seen and heard is the most critical thing you can do, in terms of your profits, of referrals and recommendations. But crucially underneath that, it's about the level of impact you can have on other people.
This show allows me to bring to you some of my knowledge, my learnings, my mindset issues, woes and challenges in a way that the other parts of my content don’t right now. It also allows me to bring amazing people to you to listen to, because nobody got there at the click of their fingers.

Today we're talking about passive income. Why is passive income important? It allows you to have financial independence, to change your life, to have security beyond the nine to five paycheck and the pension that you might be offered somewhere else.
I'm joined by Cody Berman, the host of the FI Show, who is very passionate about financial independence. Cody has a number of income streams that he wants to help you understand today, as a great and easy way to get started with passive income.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
-
The benefits of having passive income in your business for the rest of your life
-
What streams in business you should consider and which one to start with
-
How much of the marketing for your business you have to do yourself
-
Things to understand when you begin the journey into creating your product
-
Which SEO tools you should use
Once you get passive income streams to exceed your monthly expenses, you have choice to no longer work at that point, which is a powerful concept. When you get the first taste of passive income and realise that you can disconnect your time from your money, it can be life changing and give you so much freedom in the rest of your life.

Today I want to talk to you about something I'm proud of that we've created and why I feel proud.
We've just released to the world the very first official project to come out of Expert Audiobooks, which is a branch of my business. This is a book "Become the Real You" by Donna Elliott & Cheryl Lee who got in touch with me because they know about my audiobook experience.
When you want to elevate your voice, your profile and your message, you want to make sure that you work with people who know what they're doing. Excellent audio quality in an audiobook experience has to be seamless. The amount of energy that you expend is surprising, not just on your throat and your body, but mentally and energetically in order to get yourself inside your own story as an expert author with a unique voice.
If you've just got your expert book in paperback or hardback, it isn't enough. 67% of people who read and consume personal development and business books prefer audio. So if your audiobook isn't there yet or it's done badly, you want to make sure you get it out there and get it done quickly.
So today is a big celebration of our first project for Expert Audiobooks going live. If you are interested in working with Expert Audiobooks for a premium high-quality experience that's going to leave your listeners wanting more, get in touch!

Today I'm talking about why I have found retreats incredibly useful to go on, and why I think this is something that you should consider adding to your agenda or wish list for the next year.
When you take yourself out of your business and away from your home environment, with the right kind of like-minded people, it gives you a chance to get a bird's eye view of what's going on for you. It gives you a chance to recalibrate and revise what you're doing in terms of energy and strategy.
When we step outside our own comfort zones to spend time with people that we potentially don't know very well or don't know at all, it is possible to forge quite strong and important relationships. There is a safety in being able to share your challenges and your struggles.
So as we go towards the close of 2021, I would strongly consider finding a way to go on a retreat, because it might just be the thing that you need to give yourself back that energy and recommitment to your business.

Today we're talking about the ways that you can streamline your content creation. When you're starting out on your own, or you're starting to hire VAs and freelancers to assist you, communicating exactly what you want and guaranteeing that it's good quality can be an issue.

Today we're talking about how and why your business is speaking to you, and what you need to do about that. Often we get wrapped up in doing the things that we think we should be doing, potentially getting caught up in a rat race. And when this happens, we're losing sight of what matters to us.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
-
Why you should remind yourself to be grateful for your business
-
How to avoid falling into a trap of thinking that you are not doing well enough, because of the pressure that's on you at home
-
Remembering your priorities when you reach the crisis point
-
The importance of looking after yourself enough to see what's there after the storm
When you get caught up in the hustle and the competing, you forget yourself. Think about what it would be like if you remembered why you began in the first place. When your business has a purpose, a mission and a message, you don't need to run the race.

In this episode, we are focusing on why it is important to put yourself first.

But then what happens is that you can end up with much more clarity.

It's everything to the sides that adds value, and that's where experts and specialists come in. A real specialist is super deep and super narrow in their field.

On this podcast, I talk all the time about getting visible. This time there's something even more important and pressing. It's come to my awareness that now, when the world has started to open up, many people are struggling with their mental well being.
Anxiety, panic disorder, negativity, depression, weight gain, body confidence, all of that stuff is rising in our teenagers, and it has been compounded through lockdown. The other thing I see in my parents’ generation, is how scared the older members of the family are, how down and depressed they are, and still fearful about going out. It concerns me that this is now running through the whole of our society.
I coach people how and why to become more visible to improve their businesses, but behind that is my desire to help people learn how to think differently, learn to get support when they need it, and learn to find the people out there that can help them.
If you are at a stage where you know that you can help people with anxiety, mental health, well being, helping them have better routines in their lives, better thought cleanliness in the way that they are behaving and thinking, I urge you to find the ways to get louder. Think about this as your responsibility, as your way to give back, and have much more impact.
If you've been thinking about this, there are two ways that you can have tremendous success in terms of that impact quickly - by launching your own podcast, or by being a guest to get in front of other people to get that message heard.
We do both of those in The Podcast Agency. I invite you to find out about our production and launch packages and our Podcast Booking Boutique at https://thepodcastagency.com/.

Today we're talking about the different ways to monetise your podcast. While you could start monetising your show right from the start, I chose not to do it, because I wanted to build brand loyalty and a solid audience first. But here are the options that you can consider for your own podcast.
The Best Ways to Monetise Your Podcast:
- Promote your products and services and bring people into your funnel
- Establish affiliate partnerships and use affiliate links in your show notes
- Create your own sponsorship packages or use a sponsorship broker
- Sell merchandise to build brand loyalty and listenership loyalty
- Use a membership model with premium content for the paying members
If you knew that creating a 10-minute podcast episode could bring you in hundreds or thousands of pounds, wouldn’t that be worth it? I think it is. Podcasting can be the core of your business if you put your thinking cap on, and if you monetise it at the right time for your show and your audience.
