Founder & CEO, Podcast Impact Studio
Published Author · Podcast Host · Speaker
British Columbia, Canada
“The part of your voice you’re most tempted to mute is exactly what your audience is waiting for.
Tamar Routly is the founder and CEO of Podcast Impact Studio — a creative collaborative that helps purpose-driven creators stop performing and start connecting. As a voice strategist, podcast producer, and host coach, she works with founders, authors, executives, and community builders to uncover the message they’ve been afraid to say out loud.
Her philosophy is simple: the most powerful thing you can do as a podcaster, speaker, or leader is tell the truth. Not the polished version. The real one. Tamar builds the space where that becomes possible — and then helps clients build shows and platforms around it.
She is the published author of Sobriety for Dummies with Lane Kennedy, co-host of The Sober Curator Podcast, and has been in recovery for over a decade. She speaks openly about sobriety, authenticity, coming out, and what it means to build a business and a life you don’t want to escape from.
Published books — Sobriety for Dummies (Wiley), Hope Elevated, Beyond Recovery & Laughing Without Liquor
