The Luminary Leadership Podcast is a must-listen for any small business owner or entrepreneur looking to grow their leadership skills and find balance in their personal and professional life. With almost 13 years of experience as a small business owner, I am always on the lookout for new podcasts that can provide valuable insights and help me learn something new every day. This podcast has quickly become one of my favorites as it not only offers valuable business advice but also tackles topics related to parenting and raising children. Elizabeth, the host, does a fantastic job of mixing up the content and keeping listeners engaged. I appreciate her innovative approach and always find myself craving more after each episode.
One aspect that stands out about The Luminary Leadership Podcast is the impeccable audio quality. Often, with other podcasts, I find myself having to mess around with settings to get clear audio, but that's not the case here. The audio is consistently on point, which makes listening a seamless and enjoyable experience. It's evident that the host and her team put effort into ensuring high-quality production.
Overall, this podcast offers great material for both personal and professional growth. Elizabeth is a bold visionary who provides refreshing insights into leadership. She tells it like it is and encourages listeners to think differently about how they can rise above their to-do lists and truly lead in all areas of life. Her humor, wisdom, and practical advice make this podcast a must-listen for any business owner looking to level up.
While it's challenging to find any major flaws in this podcast, one minor drawback may be the lack of variety in guest speakers or perspectives. Although Elizabeth herself brings immense value through her experiences as an entrepreneur, it would be interesting to hear from other industry experts or thought leaders in different episodes.
In conclusion, The Luminary Leadership Podcast has been an invaluable resource in my journey as a small business owner and parent. In these uncertain times, it has helped me stay true to my values and navigate the challenges of balancing family and business life. Elizabeth's guidance and insights have had a positive impact on both my personal and professional life, and I am grateful for the wisdom she shares. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone looking to grow as a leader in their business and beyond.
Coming off the heels of our most recent Visionary CEO Mastermind retreat, I wanted to bring you behind the scenes of a powerful theme that came up again and again: belief—and the role it plays in building a business that actually lasts.In this episode, I'm unpacking what it really means to lead from belief, how it fuels growth in both visible and invisible ways, and why it might be the most underutilized (and underestimated) asset in your business strategy.I'm also sharing a personal story about hitting a massive business milestone that, on paper, seemed impossible—but belief made it inevitable. You'll learn how to create your own North Star Belief Statement, what it looks like to align your team and operations around it, and how to track unique KPIs that reflect belief-driven success.Whether you're feeling stuck in the grind or are looking to lead with deeper intention, this episode will help you scale with conviction, clarity, and legacy in mind.Here's what we cover:
In this episode, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Denise Duffield-Thomas—a money mentor whose work has impacted over 10,000 entrepreneurs around the world. I've admired her for years, not just because of the way she teaches about abundance and wealth, but because of how she lives her life: with intention, honesty, and ease.We got into the real stuff—what it's like to build a successful business while navigating undiagnosed ADHD, the pressure of always chasing the next big thing, and why Denise is now leaning hard into simplicity and joy. She's choosing contentment over constant growth, and honestly, it's a refreshing (and powerful) perspective more entrepreneurs need to hear.We talked about the messy middle of motherhood, the tension between ambition and peace, and what it truly means to live a “first class life”—not in terms of luxury, but in alignment with your values.This conversation is full of permission slips—to slow down, to trust the season you're in, and to define success on your own terms.Some highlights from our conversation:
If you're the kind of business owner who's doing all the things (because let's be honest—you probably do them best), this episode is for you.
Ever feel like you're crushing it at work but scrambling at home? Trust me, I've been there. In today's episode, I'm flipping the script on what drives real—not just incremental—growth. Spoiler: the secret isn't another marketing funnel. It's the way we lead inside our own four walls.Here's what we dig into:The paradigm shift – why your business can only scale to the level you steward your home life.The hidden cost of compartmentalizing – what happens when career wins pile up but family rhythms lag behind.Creating harmony – simple, doable ways to align your life plan with your business vision so both can flourish.Visionary leadership at home – the same clarity, delegation, and intentionality you bring to your company—applied to dinner, bedtime, and everything in between.By the end of this conversation, you'll walk away with fresh questions to ask, quick systems to trial, and permission to treat your household like the powerhouse incubator it really is.Resources from this episode:Visionary CEO Schedule TemplateHarmony on Demand Journal PromptsBook Mentioned: Hold Onto Your KidsThe Incubator: A Mastermind For Visionaries & Their Right HandShow notes: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/episode276Connect with me:Website: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/If there's a topic, a question or a guest you want to hear on the show or an idea you have for us, just reach out and share that at marketing@luminaryleadershipco.com.

This episode is really personal. I'm sharing a recent experience that completely shifted the trajectory of my life and business—and it all started with something I never expected to be powerful: stillness.In a world that constantly tells us to hustle, push, and make things happen, I was invited (in a very real and divine way) to wait. To not act. To stand still and see. And let me tell you—it wasn't easy.But in that stillness, something shifted. It brought clarity, peace, and a deeper understanding of what abundance and prosperity really mean—both in leadership and in life.In this episode, I'm talking about:
I just got back from Mexico, and let's just say—I had a lot of time to reflect on what's working (and what's not) in my business. One thing that kept coming up? How easy it is for entrepreneurs to get stuck in the weeds instead of actually stepping into their role as CEO.If you're anything like me, you've probably found yourself juggling all the day-to-day tasks—emails, content, calls—while your bigger vision and strategy keep getting pushed to the back burner. Sound familiar? That's exactly why I'm sharing a concept that's been a game-changer for me: the One Day CEO method.Here's the deal:

In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I'm diving into a different perspective on leadership. We often think of leaders as problem-solvers, but what if the best leaders actually create problems on purpose?

Instead of just tackling day-to-day issues, I'm proposing we focus on creating challenges that spark growth and breakthroughs.I'll be talking about how staying reactive can really hold you back, and how true trailblazers are leveraging strategic problems to force progress. I'll share a simple five-step process for identifying areas where you're too comfortable, setting audacious goals, creating intentional constraints, embracing failure, and seeking outside perspectives—everything you need to start creating challenges that lead to growth and transformation, both for you and your business.Resources from this episode:Visionary CEO Schedule TemplateThe Incubator: A Mastermind For Visionaries & Their Right HandShow notes: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/episode263Connect with me:Website: https://luminaryleadershipco.com/If there's a topic, a question or a guest you want to hear on the show or an idea you have for us, just reach out and share that at marketing@luminaryleadershipco.com.

In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I bring a conversation that can be uncomfortable but necessary which is the critical practice of releasing relationships, roles, and beliefs that no longer serve your trajectory towards your big next.
