"Jani is made for podcasting I think. She’s such a natural and even her voice is perfect for the medium - amazing!"

"Just jumped off my final Zoom with Jani and I am so inspired and buzzing to start my Podcast experience. When I first spoke to Jani I was finding it difficult to know how to open - I had no idea where to begin. Jani gave me some guidance and asked me to think about what I wanted to say and more importantly how I wanted to say it, her encouragement has given me the belief that my voice is good enough and what I am going to put out there carries value - I am not even sure that Jani was aware that's how she made me feel. At all points Jani kept checking what I wanted to get out of the sessions which is very refreshing, she did not have a pre-worked set of questions and her knowledge is vast. I would highly recommend working with Jani and I look forward to sending her my very first Podcast - just hope she loves it!"
