"I am officially a podcaster!"


"I actually looked into other podcasting kits, do it yourself, launch your podcast now types of promotions and I am beyond thrilled that I chose Podcast to Empower with Kimberly Sumpter. What an amazing teacher, coach and mentor she has been through this entire process. Kimberly had a way of guiding us through each phase of developing our podcast from beginning to end. She never lost sight of each individual's voice and purpose for starting this journey. The knowledge gained during the intensive training equipped us with all of the necessary tools to create a clear and concise message and a professional sounding podcast. I highly recommend Kimberly and the Podcast to Empower training. Because of her tutelage, my dream and vision has manifested itself. I am officially a podcaster!"

Lifetime access gives you the freedom to work at your own pace.



I'm Kimberly Sumpter, a proud native of New Jersey with strong ties to Texas, where I discovered my love for radio broadcasting and podcasting. Three years ago, I had a desire to start a podcast to have the freedom to talk about the topics and connect with the people that matter most to me. I spent over a year trying to gather as much information as possible to start and grow a successful podcast. In the process, I found myself at a complete standstill due to information overload. Yes, I was quite frustrated initially but was able to create my own method that took me from "concept to launch" in less than 30 days. In this course, I'll give you strategies that will save you time and money and provide you with step-by-step instructions on recording, editing, and publishing your podcast, even if you have little to no technical experience. If your goal is to start a podcast without having to spend months trying to piece it all together, I can show you how.

It's time to connect with your tribe through the power of podcasting!


The Podcast to Empower course is tailored for beginners just like YOU who want to launch a podcast without feeling overwhelmed by the process. Are you intimidated by the technology? No worries! This signature "concept to launch" course contains a series of simplified easy to digest lessons that will address, everything from purchasing the right gear, to finding your unique voice as you craft compelling content for your ideal listeners.

In this course you will learn:


  • How to identify and develop content for your target audience
  • What you need to consider when naming your show
  • How to create an outline for your episodes
  • How to select the show format that's right for you

And you will do all this with me and my fierce Podcast to Empower community by your side!



"If you are looking to add your voice to the thriving medium of podcasting this is the course for you."


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 Podcasting Essentials for Beginners because you will understand the value of your investment on Day 1!
