Fave Self CEO Podcast
I’m Kahla Evans - speaker, storyteller, and confidence coach, who now helps soulful creatives and teams speak with calm, clarity, and a little bit of magic.
Here, we explore mindset, confidence, spirituality, and the quiet power of alignment - because showing up as your fave self isn’t about polishing who you are, it’s about remembering her.
After two decades behind the mic - from NHL arenas to TV studios, radio booths, and TEDx rehearsals - I’ve learned that confidence doesn’t come from being “on.” It comes from being real.
This isn’t hustle, hype, or high-gloss self-help.
It’s growth that feels grounded, confidence that feels calm, and conversations that bring you home to yourself.
Each Friday, you’ll find soulful reflections, practical mindset tools, and rituals for speaking and living with more presence, peace, and power.
Because your fave self isn’t waiting somewhere in the future -
she’s already here 🖤

The rituals you don’t see before I step on stage
We all get nerves - whether it’s an NHL arena, a client pitch, hitting “go live” on Instagram, or asking someone out on a date. The butterflies, the blank brain, the “why did I say yes to this?” panic…
In this episode, I’m sharing my pre-speaking confidence routine - the simple rituals I lean on before stepping on stage, emceeing an event, or walking in to run a workshop. These are the tools that help me move from shaky to steady - and actually enjoy the moment.
You’ll hear:
• Why nerves feel the same no matter the stage (big or small)
• My go-to tricks for calming down fast - breath, movement, music
• The surprising extras (like gum + Taylor Swift lyrics) that really work
• The #1 thing to focus on before you start speaking
Whether you’re pitching, presenting, or just trying to speak up with more confidence, these little shifts can change the whole vibe.
