Healing Worthiness Through Your Voice (and Growing a Podcast with Kim Parkinson)

The host welcomes Kim Parkinson, a podcast growth coach and founder of KP Creative Media, who helps spiritually aligned women use aligned podcast strategy to be seen and heard. Kim shares how childhood experiences around money—working a paper route without pay and being shamed over 20 cents—shaped long-term feelings of unworthiness and financial struggle, later echoed during a multi-year family lawsuit where her support went uncompensated by some relatives. Through journaling, speaking things out, therapy, and recognizing her strength in using her voice, she’s begun taking ownership of her finances, including letting her bookkeeper go to stay engaged. Kim then describes her path from owning a craft store and hosting a local TV show to podcast production and becoming a certified podcast growth coach, including tactics like organic discoverability, guesting, and monthly “activations,” plus advice for localized businesses using pillar episodes and targeted Spotify ads.00:00 Welcome and Introductions02:32 Kim’s Money Wound Story05:08 Journaling to Heal Worth08:07 Taking Charge of Finances11:09 Voice as a Healing Tool13:43 Therapy and Safe Support15:17 Voxer and Gratitude Practice17:36 Becoming a Podcast Growth Coach22:49 Client Wins and Results24:05 Podcasting for Local Businesses30:05 Where to Find Kim31:29 Final Thanks and SubscribeIf you want to learn more about Kim, you can find her at the links below:Website: https://kpcreativemedia.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kim.parkinson1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kpcreativemedia/If you enjoyed this episode, connect with your hosts, Kristen or Jen, you can find us at the links below!Email us at:  [email protected] more about Kristen here: Instagram : enlighten_servicesWebsite : www.kristenburrus.comFacebook : enlighten_services Learn more about Jen here: Website : https://www.thankfulheartscoaching.com/Facebook : @thankfulheartscoaching Instagram : @[email protected]
