What if giving up on your dream was the very thing that made it come true?
Meet Sion Dayson—award-winning author, voiceover artist, and walking proof that surrender can be a superpower. From a rainy decade in Paris to the sun-drenched coast of Spain, Sion’s journey is packed with unexpected turns, a few publishing heartbreaks, and one very serendipitous mic check that sparked a whole new career.
In this episode, we dive into how Sion made the leap from novelist to voiceover pro, what it’s really like building a creative business abroad, and why she believes success doesn’t come from pushing—it comes from paying attention to the lightbulb moments.
We talk AI, imposter syndrome, nervous energy (and why dancing it out works), plus what it takes to keep a human voice heard in a machine-driven world.
✨ Key Takeaways:
- 🎤 Confidence comes after clarity—why Sion trained for 9 months before saying “I’m ready”
- ✨ Serendipity loves a surrender—how letting go brought her two book deals in 48 hours
- 📣 Voiceover is more than talking—a masterclass in breathwork, tech, and self-promotion
- 🤖 AI isn’t the enemy—it’s the prompt for stronger boundaries and better ethics
- 🧠 Your inner voice knows—and it might sound more like a gut feeling than a soundbite
Sion’s story is a reminder that reinvention isn’t a detour—it’s part of the path.
🎧 Tune in for a funny, warm, and eye-opening conversation that’ll have you thinking twice about your next “no”... and possibly dancing to Outkast before your next pitch.
