I’m Kimberly
Hello,
a passionate podcaster, coach, and podcast editor who believes in the power of storytelling to inspire, connect, and create change. Since 2019, I've had the privilege of teaching over 500 students, helping them find their unique voices and confidently share their stories with the world. As the host of the Sistahs Connect® podcast, I understand firsthand how impactful a well-told story can be, and I’m on a mission to empower women to do the same.
Along this journey, my work has been recognized by industry leaders like The Podcast Business Journal, Authority Magazine, and Libsyn, who named me a Women's Month podcast industry leader. In 2024, I was honored to be included on the POC Stock Top 50 Future of Black America list, a recognition that further fuels my commitment to amplifying diverse voices.
I’m here to share my knowledge, offer guidance, and help you build meaningful connections through the art of podcasting. Whether you’re just starting or looking to level up, I’m excited to help you every step of the way!

CHRISHAN WRIGHT, AWARD WINNING PODCASTER & HOST OF BLAXIT GLOBAL
“My first attempt at podcasting was 6 years ago and I quickly lost steam right out of the gate. Why? Because I lacked the knowledge, expertise, and hands-on training that Kimberly provided. Anyone can teach you the mechanics of podcasting, but only with Kim’s coaching can you find your unique voice, receive honest and actionable feedback as well as a proven process to get you from concept to launch. I highly recommend Podcast to Inspire because you will understand the value of your investment on day one!”
