Description

Is your voice your greatest asset or the reason people aren’t buying from you?

In this unapologetic guest episode of Don’t Sugarcoat It, Candy sits down with Annelise McCarthy, Australia’s leading speaking coach, viral content creator and the woman behind the movement helping entrepreneurs stop hiding, start expressing, and take up actual space online and on stage.

With thousands of students, a global audience, and a reputation for calling out the BS holding women back from being fully seen, Annalise breaks down what most coaches still get wrong about communication, visibility, and showing up with conviction.

Together, they go deep into:

• Why your voice is the #1 tool scaling your business (and the way you’re using it is costing you clients)
• The truth about confidence: it’s not a personality, it’s a skill
• Why people don’t listen when you speak and how to change that instantly
• The real reason entrepreneurs feel “blocked” when showing up online
• How to create a message people remember, repeat, and respond to

This episode is raw, honest, and cuts straight through the fluff.

If you’re a mentor, coach, entrepreneur or expert who wants to speak with authority instead of apologising for existing… this is your wake-up call.
