I’m Simona

It’s great to meet you!

I’m absolutely thrilled that our paths are crossing and that we have been brought together!

My purpose is to connect my light to those who need it, so they can discover and shine their light too.
I believe that having a deep connection to yourself is the most important relationship you can have.
I’m the Founder and CEO of VOLT Productions, a full-service podcast production agency, and Executive Producer and Host of both As It Relates to Podcasting and the Happiness Happens Podcast.
I’m on a mission to help entrepreneurs to reach their highest potential by starting, launching, and growing their dream podcasts. I blend my intuitive nature with a proven framework and strategies to help my clients tune in to their higher selves and shake up their industry with massive impact so they can serve on a more meaningful level.
I’m an avid learner and like to keep up with the latest in podcast production, promotion, and public relations strategies. Personal development is so important to me, so I’m always talking about and learning how to care about your #1 person – You!
I have a Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies and Public Relations from the University of Guelph, a Digital Marketing Management Certificate from The University of Toronto, and a Public Relations Advanced Diploma from Humber College.

What am I like outside of ‘work’?

Energetic, quirky, and always up for a new adventure.

But when I’m not behind the mic hosting the Happiness Happens podcast, producing a show, or strategizing a game-changing podcast launch, you can find me at home in wine country with my cockapoo named Gus. (Seriously the cutest dog ever! I’m not just saying it because he’s mine!)

Here are some podcasts I’m binging right now: Make Your Damn Bed, Earn Your Happy, School of Greatness, and Oprah’s Supersoul Sunday.

**How VOLT Productions Came to Life ⚡️**

When launching my show ‘The Happiness Happens Podcast’ in 2019, I learned firsthand how hard it was to create a podcast that is impactful and actually gets downloads.
If I could go back to my own podcast launch, oh the things I would do differently! But we live and learn, and I taught myself how to market a show that was valuable to my listener.
And then over the years, I saw other creators in the space trying to launch podcasts (that they put their heart and soul into) but were not getting the impact or listenership they craved.
The idea of VOLT Productions was born out of my desire to give everyone the possibility to launch their message impactfully and then continue to grow their shows and have returning listeners as I did.

Why I Do What I Do!

Dana Clark - Founder of Heroic Humans and Cool to Connect

"Simona’s guidance and help throughout the entire process of creating my podcast was game-changing. She gave me all the tools and resources that I could have asked for, and was so patient, kind, and encouraging when it came to releasing the podcast of my dreams!
I highly recommend working with Simona, she will not disappoint you. Simona helped me stay confident in my ideas and helped me execute them. She has such a positive mindset and it really is contagious. She made me feel so supported and really knows her stuff. Thank you, Simona!”
Susan Casey

“ I have been working with Simona and her podcast production team since my podcast launch in July 2021. If you’ve found Simona, don’t look any further, because you’ve found the best! Simona will not only help to reduce your anxiety about launching your podcast, but she’ll also get you excited, which is exactly how you should feel before you launch your podcast into the world!”
Jessica Stephens

“Simona was truly instrumental in launching my podcast! I didn’t know what I didn’t know, but she knew what I needed to have in place to get me the exposure and traction needed to hit Top 150 on Apple podcast in my launch week! I was blown away by the response to my show and it’s because of the launch plan she designed for me to execute. She is a real pro and love working with her. “
Karin Conroy

“Simona has been an absolute godsend for my podcast! I cannot recommend her expertise and support enough. She has the perfect combination of all the necessary knowledge for the millions of questions combined with incredible support. Launching a podcast is no small task, so it’s critical to find someone who knows what they’re talking about and is also super organized to keep track of all the stops. Aside from that, her ongoing support kee[ps everything running smoothly. I cannot imagine trying to do all of this without her! “
Sarah Rosensweet

“ I met Simona with only an idea for a podcast, knowing nothing, and she helped me to create a successful podcast by taking care of pretty much everything but the recording! Simona is incredibly organized and has fantastic systems in place. She also has great ideas about growing the podcast and the best strategies for showing up on social media. Simona is also a lot of fun to work with! My Podcast is top-notch, thanks to Simona”
