Fave Self CEO Podcast
by Kahla Evans - Fave Self CEO
I’m Kahla Evans - speaker, storyteller, and confidence + communication coach. I help people build confidence in their voice so they stop holding themselves back when they speak - at work, on stage, and in their everyday lives. This podcast is a living essay series. Each episode is a real-time reflection on voice, confidence, identity, and what it actually looks like to stop shrinking and start expressing yourself - without forcing, performing, or becoming someone you’re not. After two decades behind the mic - from NHL arenas to TV studios, radio booths, and TEDx rehearsals - I’ve learned that confidence doesn’t come from being louder, more polished, or more “on.” It comes from self-trust. From presence. From speaking as yourself. This isn’t hustle culture, hype coaching, or performative confidence. It’s embodied confidence. Grounded clarity. And conversations that help you come home to your voic
