If you’ve been around my world for any amount of time, you know I believe one thing deeply:
Podcasting is not a hobby.
It’s a leadership platform.
UNITED State of Women, has been recognized in multiple national and regional rankings:
This recognition is an incredible honor not just for the show, but for what it represents.
UNITED State of Women was never built for vanity metrics.
It was built to help women live more connected to their power, their purpose, and their plan.
From Kokomo to National Rankings
When we launched UNITED State of Women in 2019, the vision was simple:
Create a space where professional women could grow in leadership, clarity, and confidence.
To now see it ranked among the best women’s leadership podcasts and personal development podcasts in the country is a full-circle moment.
Especially as someone based in Kokomo, Indiana, building nationally recognized media from a smaller market.
It proves something I tell my podcast clients all the time:
You do not need to be in New York or LA to build authority.
You need consistency, clarity, and strategic positioning.

At The Business Podcast Editor, we work with entrepreneurs, executives, and organizations who want their podcast to:

Media credibility
Speaking leverage
This is why podcast SEO and distribution strategy matter.
And this is why I teach my clients to treat their show like a long-term business asset.
