First, I’d like to know why you’d like to come on my show. Are you a female lawyer with a nexus to Japan? Have you overcome challenges on your path and want to help others smash through their struggles by what you can share with them? Do you want to stretch your confidence and speak out loud for the first time about what it’s like for you to be a lawyer in Japan? Have you listened to an episode or two that resonated with you?

Tell me what it was that made you feel inspired by my guests’ stories. Listen to the episodes, and send me a message, and I’ll certainly give you a chance to come tell your story and unlock the wisdom you would like to share with my listeners

Yes! Launching a podcast can feel overwhelming if you're doing it by yourself, and it can make you put off becoming one. But you don't have to do it alone. I didn’t! I had a collaborator! I also got coached on how to do it and I now provide that insight to people wanting to host their own podcast.

I can help you develop a podcast concept, sketch out your niche theme, choose your podcast format (interview, educational, etc.), direct you to your podcast music and artwork, get the tech side of things sorted for you (it’s not as hard as you might think), and most of all, I can teach you how to be confident and banish podcaster imposter syndrome, find creative questions to ask guests and get you over the line to launch and hold your hand as you grow your show!

Like everything in life that is worth it, becoming a great podcast host also takes some effort. You need to skill up, practice your art, and be willing to give it a go without being perfect and get better as you go. To help your podcast really thrive, learning how to create the conversation that your audience wants, be good at conversation, as well as seeking out interesting guests to interview on your show are all key.

I started from zero to become a confident podcast host of my own show (Lawyer on Air) and co-host of the Jandals in Japan Podcast. When I listened to my hero podcasters I thought they were professionals from the get-go. But none of us are and if you compare yourself to “their now” against “your now” then you might feel afraid to podcast. But I assure you, that confidence is a skill you can get better at! helping you find that podcaster inside of you who is just waiting to step up and tell your story or give a voice to the people that matter to you. Soon you too will be podcasting and interviewing with confidence.

I give a 48-hour “cooling-off period,” once you have signed the contract with me, which enables you to ask for a refund and cancel our agreement to work together if you change your mind.

However, given the nature of all of my services, I do not give refunds once we have commenced our consultation or started working together. I will make every effort I reasonably can, to provide the services to you that are listed in our contract. If you are unhappy with anything, I appreciate you letting me know so I can make it right. Refunds will only be given in the case where I am unable to provide the services in our agreement due to illness or unforeseen circumstances.
