ABOUT

She Says It is a strategic communication podcast and creative community for women small business owners and entrepreneurs who want to find their voice, build visibility, and communicate clearly in business and in life.

Hosted by Madeline Sargent, brand strategist and strategic communication consultant, this show delivers practical guidance for women who are tired of being overlooked, struggling to articulate their message, or feeling invisible in their industry.

This podcast offers honest conversations around business communication, speaking with confidence, visibility strategies for women entrepreneurs, personal branding, messaging clarity, and what it actually takes to be understood in the rooms that matter. Through interviews and solo episodes, you'll hear from women who are navigating the same challenges, building businesses, finding their voices, and showing up authentically in their industries.

This show provides women in business with tools, stories, and strategies to speak clearly, show up authentically, and build a presence that reflects who they really are—without trying to be everywhere or sound like everyone else. This is a space for women who have something to say and are ready to say it clearly, confidently, and in their own way.

Podcast Guest Prep Guide

Thank you for joining me on She Says It! I’m excited to share your story and conversation with our audience. My goal is to create a relaxed, thoughtful space where we can explore your experiences, insights, and perspectives in a way that feels authentic to you.

Before the Interview

Review the Interview Outline

I’ll send a list of discussion topics and questions beforehand. These aren’t meant to be rigid—they simply help guide our conversation.

Test Your Technology

For the best audio quality, please:

  • Use headphones or earbuds if possible

  • Record in a quiet space

  • Close unnecessary apps and browser tabs

  • Check your internet connection before we begin

My Interview Process

Step 1: Research & Preparation

Before recording, I spend time reviewing your work, website, social media, and any information you’ve shared so I can ask thoughtful questions and create a meaningful conversation.

Step 2: Conversation Design

I create a custom interview outline based on:

  • Your story

  • Your expertise

  • Topics that will resonate with listeners

  • Opportunities for authentic discussion

Step 3: Recording Day

Our conversation is designed to feel natural—not scripted. We’ll begin with a few easy questions to settle in before diving deeper into your experiences, ideas, and insights.

Please remember, you will be recorded and the recording will be used on Spotify.

Step 4: Editing & Production

After recording, I edit the episode for clarity, pacing, and listener experience while preserving the authenticity of our conversation.

Step 5: Promotion

Once the episode is complete, you’ll receive:

  • Your Spotify episode link

  • A collab post on Instagram once the episode goes live on Wednesday at 9 am PST

  • Continuous promotion on She Says It (includes newsletters and social media posts)

What Makes a Great Conversation?

The best podcast moments happen when guests:

  • Share real stories

  • Speak from personal experience

  • Offer lessons you’ve learned

  • Allow space for honesty and reflection

  • You don’t need perfect answers. You just need to show up as yourself.

Recording Day Checklist
