In this episode of The MumSafe™ Pro Podcast, Jen Dugard is joined by industry leader, speaker, emcee, podcast host, and presentation coach Chantal Brodrick for a wide-ranging and deeply insightful conversation about confidence, communication, and long-term career sustainability in the fitness industry. Chantal shares her journey from a 15-year career in media into fitness, business coaching, podcasting, and eventually stepping onto stages as a presenter and emcee at major industry events. Together, Jen and Chantal unpack what it really takes to build influence over time, why content creation compounds, and how trainers can begin to see speaking and presenting as an extension of service rather than self-promotion. This episode is especially powerful for trainers who feel the pull to do more than just sessions on the gym floor, whether that’s running workshops, educating communities, speaking on stages, or becoming a recognised voice in their niche. In This Episode, We Cover Chantal’s transition from media into fitness and why business education became her sweet spot How podcasting helped shape her authority, confidence, and opportunities to speak on stage Why building content consistently matters more than making it perfect The role of speaking, presenting, and workshops in becoming the go-to trainer in your community How trainers can start sharing their message without waiting for a big conference stage The importance of evidence, experience, and alignment when applying to speak at events Chantal’s experience on the board of AusActive and why industry advocacy matters Three practical tips to speak with confidence, even when nerves show up Why preparation, practice, and practising with distraction can change everything How trainers can think about speaking as service, not ego The power of knowing your “superpower” and weaving it into your fitness career Key Takeaway Confidence doesn’t come from waiting until you feel ready. It comes from preparation, repetition, and choosing to share your message… imperfectly,  in service of others. Whether it’s a workshop, a podcast, or a stage, your voice has value when it’s grounded in experience and aligned with who you serve.
