Fave Self CEO Podcast
I’m Kahla Evans - speaker, storyteller, and confidence + communication coach.
I help people build confidence in their voice so they stop holding themselves back when they speak - at work, on stage, and in their everyday lives.
This podcast is a living essay series.
Each episode is a real-time reflection on voice, confidence, identity, and what it actually looks like to stop shrinking and start expressing yourself - without forcing, performing, or becoming someone you’re not.
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 louder, more polished, or more “on.”
It comes from self-trust. From presence. From speaking as yourself.
This isn’t hustle culture, hype coaching, or performative confidence.
It’s embodied confidence. Grounded clarity. And conversations that help you come home to your voice.
New episodes drop Fridays.
Come if you’re ready to stop hesitating, start expressing yourself more fully, and become your fave self - the version of you who no longer shrinks.
She’s not 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.
