Episode 580: Empowering Survivors of Sexual Assault with Jenna Cox-Hadley Jan 27, 2022

Show notes

Jenna Cox-Hadley is the composer, lyricist, and playwright for Wait for Her, an original musical.
Jenna grew up in a musical and mixed-race family in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Throughout her education, she distinguished herself with her creative mash-ups, ear for harmonies, and musical leadership.
She majored in Mathematics and Russian at the U.S. Naval Academy while singing in the Gospel Choir--including a performance for President Obama and Tom Hanks at the Kennedy Center. Jenna also studied opera, tap dancing, Irish step dancing, and, at Wheaton College, jazz voice to deepen her creative skill-set. Jenna's deep empathy, career adjustment from Navy to theater maker, and wide cross-cultural experiences in Central Asia, Turkey, and Germany give her a rich palette of artistic inspiration.
While in college, Jenna's heart broke learning how many women—many of whom she was close to—had experienced sexual assault. Jenna began writing Wait for Her, hoping that her grief and intensive research on trauma could be transformed into a life-giving and healing story for survivors and their communities.

Ready To Start Your Own Podcast? Jan 25, 2022

Show notes

Are you ready to start your own podcast?!
Several months ago I invited a limited number of therapists to take part in my first podcasting workshop...
How To Start A Podcast For Mental Health Care Workers.
mentalhealthpodcasters.com
And if I do say so myself, it was a hit!
I got to share everything I've learned over these last few years about creating a podcast--in the mental health field!--that receives thousands of downloads per month and which is the primary driver of my income.
Yep, because of the podcast, I've been able to replace the salary I was making from a full time job at a county clinic in the Bay Area.
In addition, it's been an incredible way to meet amazing therapists from all over the world, learn how others are working in the trauma field, and it's been a fantastic and never-ending source of inspiration for myself!
So who is this workshop for?
Therapists of all kinds
MFTs
Social Workers
Counselors
Psychologists
Survivors
Advocates
Coaches
If you're a mental health professional and/or coach or advocate and excited to get your voice out there, or market your business, then this is for you.
What will the workshop consist of?
I am going to walk you through getting your podcast up and running!
You might like to know that over these last few years, as someone in the health care field, who started out knowing nothing about podcasting, I've been able to grow The Trauma Therapist | Podcast to one that receives about 150K downloads per month!
That puts the podcast in the top 5% of all podcasts.
Pretty crazy.
And, as you may know, I've been able to attract a breadth of interesting guests, from a variety of backgrounds.
As well as attract--and keep--sponsors!
Very cool indeed.
What it is & Key Topics:
In this live, 4-module, Zoom video workshop (with each module lasting approximately one hour), I'll share with you everything I've learned about creating a successful podcast:
How to choose your topic
The unique challenges and benefits of being a health care worker in this field
The tech equipment I use (including the computer, the mic, the mic stand, ear buds etc.)
How to acquire hosting for your podcast (an online platform where you store and then distribute your podcast and which provides you with an RSS feed)
How I decide upon episode topics
The different ways I monetize
How I secure guests
The email templates I use to reach out to guests (and then to follow up)
The scheduling software I use
What I've learned about acquiring sponsors, losing sponsors, and keeping sponsors
And much more.
