Owning Your Voice

<p><strong>Owning Your Voice</strong> is a talk show for successful women leaders and entrepreneurs who look confident on the outside but quietly second-guess themselves and their abilities. Through candid interviews, personal storytelling, and leadership insight, the show explores courage, confidence, identity, and authenticity. Drawing from my own journey of losing and regaining my hearing, leading teams across three continents, and reinventing my career in midlife, each episode blends psychology, neuroscience-based confidence tools, and real-life leadership lessons. The result is a show that helps women trust their voices, own their impact, and lead boldly — without waiting for permission.</p><p></p><p><strong>About Your Host:</strong></p><p></p><p>Angela Irwin is an international confidence coach, TEDx speaker, and the founder of Joyful Life Solutions, where she empowers women leaders and entrepreneurs to cultivate lasting confidence and fully own their voice. She brings more than 15 years of global leadership experience from the corporate medical devices industry, where she held roles in marketing, management, and clinical education across the United States, Australia, and Europe. Angela holds a B.S. in Sociology and Psychology as well as an M.B.A., grounding her work in both human behavior and business leadership.</p><p>Angela’s work is deeply informed by lived experience. Born with normal hearing, she began losing her hearing at a young age and was completely deaf by 22. After later regaining her hearing through cochlear implants, she experienced firsthand what it means to rediscover one’s voice — literally and figuratively. During the pandemic, she founded the Joyful Life Cochlear Implant Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to ensuring cochlear implant recipients have access to the critical technology they need to hear and fully participate in life. Her journey has shaped a leadership philosophy rooted in resilience, self-trust, and authenticity.</p><p>Today, Angela is the host of <strong>Owning Your Voice</strong>, a talk show featuring candid conversations with women who’ve achieved success yet still wrestle with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the pressure to appear confident. By blending lived experience, neuroscience-informed confidence practices, and a cross-cultural leadership perspective, she helps women stop shrinking, trust their voices, and step fully into the impact they’re meant to make. Born and raised in a small farm community in South Dakota, Angela has lived and traveled extensively around the world and has called France home for the past 16 years, where she lives with her husband, Colin.</p><p><strong>To connect with Angela, visit:</strong></p><p><strong>Website:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://joyfullifesolutions.com/">https://joyfullifesolutions.com</a></p><p><strong>Instagram:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/angelamirwin/">https://www.instagram.com/angelamirwin</a></p><p><strong>Facebook Business Page:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/joyfullifesolutions">https://www.facebook.com/joyfullifesolutions</a></p><p><strong>Facebook:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/angela.irwin.31/">https://www.facebook.com/angela.irwin.31</a></p><p><strong>LinkedIn:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-irwin-5686722/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-irwin-5686722/</a></p><p><strong>Nonprofit website:</strong> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.jlcif.org">http://www.jlcif.org</a> </p><p>Watch her TEDx here: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bit.ly/2S3vHxH">https://bit.ly/2S3vHxH</a></p>
