In this episode of The You World Order Showcase Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jessica West, a podcast coach, mindset mentor, and host of the Feminine Initiate Podcast. Jessica’s journey is nothing short of transformational—from a near-fatal car accident that reshaped her perspective on life to becoming a podcasting powerhouse helping coaches, creatives, and visionaries step into their message and build their personal brands.
Jessica's story is a testament to the power of resilience, self-belief, and taking action before you're ready. And if you’ve ever dreamed of starting a podcast but felt unsure about where to start—or if you’re wondering whether podcasting is worth the effort—this episode is packed with insight and practical wisdom that will shift your mindset.
💡 The Wake-Up Call That Changed Everything
Jessica’s life took a drastic turn in 2015 when she was in a severe motor vehicle accident. Doctors didn’t expect her to survive past the first three days, and when she did, she was told that her life would never be the same again.
Her independence, her ability to work, and even her social life was all called into question. But instead of accepting those limitations, Jessica made a powerful decision:
“I realized that I was my only limit. I chose to believe in the doubts and the voices of limitation for so long. But from that moment on, I decided I wasn’t going to let my own thoughts hold me back anymore.”
This mindset fueled her three-year recovery, during which she went back to work, finished her university degree, and started her own business—all while saying "yes" to herself over and over again.
Her biggest realization? Fear is a lie—and we always have the power to create the life we want if we just step into action.
🎙️ The Magic of Podcasting: Why It’s a Game-Changer for Coaches & Creatives
Jessica’s path eventually led her to podcasting, first as a way to explore mindset and transformation, then as a marketing asset for her business.
What started as a passion project quickly became a powerful networking tool—allowing her to reach 52 countries, rank in the top 5% of global podcasts, and build a thriving community.

Podcasting: More Than Just a Marketing Tool
So many coaches, healers, and spiritual entrepreneurs think podcasting is just about creating content, but Jessica and I both agree—it’s so much more than that. Podcasting is about:
✔️ Finding your authentic voice and getting comfortable being seen & heard
✔️ Building meaningful relationships with guests and your audience
✔️ Attracting aligned clients who resonate with your message
✔️ Developing confidence in your expertise and unique perspective
✔️ Creating long-term visibility in a sustainable way
But here’s the thing—most people give up before they ever see results.
Only 32% of podcasters make it past three episodes, and less than 12% last more than a year.
Why? Because they don’t have a strategy—and they don’t understand that podcasting, like anything worth doing, requires commitment and consistency.
Jessica’s mission is to help people launch with clarity, confidence, and a plan for long-term success—so that podcasting actually feels doable, sustainable, and profitable.

🛠️ How to Launch a Podcast That Actually Grows Your Business
Jessica's "Just Launch" podcast coaching program takes a holistic approach to launching a podcast with purpose and profit in mind.
Here’s what she teaches:
1️⃣ Start With Your Core Message & Audience – If you’re speaking to everyone, you’re speaking to no one. Define your niche, ideal listener, and core message before you hit record.
2️⃣ Align Your Podcast With Your Business Goals – Your podcast should work for you, not feel like a second job. Jessica teaches how to integrate your podcast into your content strategy so that it attracts clients without extra effort.
3️⃣ Create a Sustainable Plan – Planning 52 episodes ahead prevents burnout and keeps you consistent. Most podcasters quit because they don’t have a clear roadmap.
4️⃣ Monetize from Day One – Whether it’s through coaching offers, affiliate partnerships, or sponsorships, your podcast should support your business model, not drain your energy.
5️⃣ Build Confidence in Your Voice – Podcasting is personal. It’s about owning your story, showing up, and trusting that your message matters.
The #1 Podcasting Mistake Coaches Make

✨ Releasing Fear & Stepping Into Your Power
One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation was this:
💡 We are our own biggest limitation.
So many people hesitate to launch a podcast—or any kind of visible brand—because they’re afraid of judgment, failure, or not being "good enough."
But what if you are already enough?
Jessica shared a powerful EFT tapping exercise to help you release resistance and step into creative confidence—because confidence isn’t something you “get.” It’s something you create through action.
“Most of us are held back by our own internal narratives. If you start affirming to yourself that you are powerful, that you are the creator of your life, that will completely shift everything. We don’t have to wait for permission.”
