Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Where do I start? I have so many positive things to say about this podcast and the book!
First of all, I heard Heather one morning while listening to the Lady Gang and she made me realize that I was not alone! I have been hitting walls with my job search and my confidence was more than 6 feet under. I bought the book and began to follow her on Instagram. Her book is already helping me to think differently and I have implemented some of the changes she has made.
Now with the podcast, I feel that I can continue this journey to success! The many topics that she brings on each episode, leave me wanting more! I rated this pod with 5 stars, but I wish I could give it 10!
THANK YOU HEATHER!

Finally, exactly what I have been looking for in a podcast - fresh, informative, and inspiring. I recently made a similar transition from the corporate world to starting my own practice and I feel like Heather's Creating Confidence podcast is answering my questions (sometimes even before I ask them!). Another sign from the Universe that I am on the right track. Creating Confidence with Heather Monahan is the podcast you need if you are starting a business, a career or trying to figure out where to take your current one. Time well spent and you will definitely emerge from it more confident and enlightened!

Creating Confidence is hands-down my new favorite podcast!! Heather Monahan is a congenial business genius. She’s found much success as a sales exec turned entrepreneur and imparts her wisdom beautifully in the podcast. She often opens/closes episodes speaking directly to the audience with tips and tricks for how to handle business and personal situations to overall build confidence. She brings on guests who each offer something unique and thoughtful. Her interview style is smooth and personable. She is extremely comfortable communicating, and you feel like she’s talking right to you as a coach.

There’s a lot of stigma behind women in strong leadership roles, but she helps normalize female empowerment in an encouraging way. Her honesty, authenticity and positivity is inspiring. Any female or male can benefit from tips to build confidence, overcome villains, and thrive in their professional and personal lives. Invest in yourself and subscribe!

Came across this podcast during a time in my life when it is desperately needed. I was laid off in January after only 6 months at a tech startup. While it wasn’t personal and other team members were let go, I’ve been feeling lost, sad, frustrated, and burnt out. Heather’s positive, uplifting episodes have given me new perspective and confidence to perform better in my interviews. Her show topics are current, relevant, and original and all of her guests have been engaging and provided valuable insight. I would recommend this podcast to anyone who needs to hit the reset button when it comes to their professional and personal lives.

I love you girl and all you stand for . Your messages are so powerful. But I feel that money has become more important to you then helping people with your powerful gift. Your entire 40 minute shows are literally nothing but ADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s very frustrating when I’m having a crisis in life and I need to hear powerful words and knowledge , when I’m needing help and I turn to your podcast and all I get the whole 40 minutes is you pushing Shopify over and over and over . Literally the same ads are played back to back . Nobody wants to spend their time listen to ads!!!! So I end up shutting you off and going to another podcast that has absolutely no Ads and yet doesn’t make us pay for them either . And I know this is a problem for a lot of your listeners because I hear you spill a Ad for that as well , talking about how ppl are complaining and your answer is well pay for my monthly subscription and you will be ad free with no interruptions …Again MONEY ! So if we pay you then we can actually hear a entire podcast instead of Ads??? So money is more important to you then helping your listeners? I’m not sure if you are aware but there is a thing called inflation happening in our country right now and most ppl are struggling just to keep food on their table and utilities paid and a roof over their head or their babies heads. Yet you think ppl have the money to pay for a podcast ? People that are mentally struggling and they come to your podcast and others like yours to get some help and to get some insight into their issues and they can’t get that with out paying you first , unless they want to listen to you shove Spotify down our throats which is not helping ppl!!!!! Do you not realize how many podcast like yours are out there helping people everyday without payment and without any ads at all. They do it because they love helping people more then they love money!!!! They know their mission in life are to help people and so they just help ppl with no strings attached. If you put out a podcast, it should be for the purpose that is stated in the podcast not just to see how much money they can make!!! So as much as I hate it , I’m going to have to leave you as a listener because if I have to listen to one more of your Shopify ads I will go insane even more then I already am, and 2nd, I’m getting nothing from your podcast and I don’t feel I should have to pay to listen to a podcast. I hope you start listening to your listeners about there being too many adds before you loose them all. I really do love your work and I looked up to you. But when money becomes more important then helping people well you’re not really helping them anymore are you??

I desperately wanted to like this podcast. After listening to the first episode, Gary Vee really led the way, but I figured she would start to get her legs under with the next episode. After hearing how she was fired and then came back, I was ready for some really life-changing content.

It’s just not there yet. Listened to three episodes. Here are some areas that need improvement:

- too much discussion about the podcast journey. I am all about breaking down the walls and keeping it real, but this is an example of getting too meta.

- too many ads. I know first-hand that people truly start their own podcasts build credibility and refine their content from the ground up. They “grow into” sponsorships and commercials. I guess PodcastOne let her skip that step. And it shows.

- too many buzzwords. I hear “killing it” or “creating value” or the like so much it is distracting.

- too much “me”. A general lack of self-awareness, actually. Definitely expected more from a successful senior executive. In her discussion with Kindra Hall they both refused to acknowledge that being physically attractive has advantages and opens doors, and is an example of an almost comical lack of EQ.

- I am still trying to figure out what about this podcast really helps Create Confidence. She used her twelve-year-old son’s 5th grade graduation and courage to do a sleep-away camp as examples to be celebrated. If we are building confidence with this galactic level of coddling , then count me out.

I know this not a glowing 5-star rating, and may be out in the pile with the haters. Please don’t do that. I just want you to make a better product. And I will be back. Cheers and All the Best!
