Dr. Julie Marty-Pearson on Podcasting, Community, and Amplifying Women’s Voices

Host Connie Warden welcomes Dr. Julie Marty-Pearson, her podcast coach and founder of Podcast Your Story Productions, who shares how health challenges, grief, and burnout after 20 years teaching psychology and statistics led her to pivot into entrepreneurship in 2020.

Julie began as a career coach for women, then discovered podcasting through a class and launched The Story of My Pet, which grew into a top 5% “small but mighty” show and introduced her to supportive communities.

After attending PodFest and a She Podcasts event in 2024, she shifted her business to helping women podcast and created the Women’s Podcaster Party networking event, emphasizing simple, accessible approaches over expensive gear and complex editing.

Julie discusses her focus on women’s representation, humor as coping (Schitt’s Creek, Clue), and her newer show Still Becoming: Women Unmuted covering women’s issues like healthcare, chronic illness, mental health, and being child-free; she shares how to connect via juliemartypearson.com.
