Hey there! My name is Brynn, and I launched the Court Reporter Podcast because many of us in this field have felt overwhelmed, unsupported, and lost, yearning for guidance tailored to our unique experiences.
My journey led me to seek resources to navigate fears and stress exclusive to our roles. I craved relatable conversations that could shatter limiting beliefs and propel me toward professional success. Unable to find this dedicated support elsewhere, I chose to create it myself.
Through each episode, I offer practical coaching insights drawn directly from my firsthand experiences as a court reporter. I share strategies on reclaiming time, such as the system I developed and the roles like a scopist and transcript manager I introduced in my company, which liberated a significant portion of my time and mental energy.
I discuss both struggles and triumphs, urging listeners to dream big, take action on their "impossible" goals, and advocate for themselves proudly within the justice system. The podcast is my way of paving a smoother path for fellow court reporters who, like me, aspire to unlock their full potential and regain balance in their lives.
