Podcasts about empowering women

Journalism is under fire at a moment when truth, accountability, and public trust matter more than ever. In this episode, Kara Duffy sits down with Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and investigative podcaster Maggie Freleng to unpack how media, power, the justice system intersect, and where they break down. Maggie shares how her reporting on wrongful convictions, policing, and systemic corruption led her into investigative podcasting, why blurred lines between journalism, influencers, and creators demand stronger ethics, and how privilege shapes whose cases receive public attention. Together, they discuss jury bias, misinformation, class inequality, and what it means to be an advocate in a system that often protects itself over people. 00:00 Introduction to the Guest: Maggie Freleng 01:26 Maggie's Journey into Journalism 05:16 The Changing Landscape of Journalism 09:17 The Role of Independent Journalism 19:00 Maggie's Personal Reflections and Life Choices 26:31 Reflecting on Personal Experiences and Wrongful Convictions 27:31 The Jury System and Its Impact on Justice 31:13 Choosing Between Bench Trials and Jury Trials 32:25 Karen Reed Case: A Litmus Test for Public Awareness 36:36 The Role of Police and the Concept of Defunding 40:23 Addressing Income Inequality and Class Wars 42:33 Empowering Women to Take Action 44:26 Exciting Updates on Season Three 45:30 The Power of Women and Multitasking 49:42 Conclusion and Final Thoughts The Powerful Ladies podcast, hosted by business coach and strategist Kara Duffy features candid conversations with entrepreneurs, creatives, athletes, chefs, writers, scientists, and more.

Most leaders avoid conflict. Not because they are weak, but because they want to be liked, respected and seen as reasonable.In this episode of The Professional Speaking Show, John Ball and leadership expert Julie Holunga unpack how conflict aversion quietly erodes authority, credibility and influence — especially for leaders and professional speakers who rely on trust and presence to lead.Julie introduces the idea of “lazy leadership” and explains why avoiding hard conversations feels easier in the moment, but costs leaders status, clarity and effectiveness over time. The conversation explores how language, tone and timing shape authority, and how leaders can address tension without becoming aggressive, performative or fake.This episode is for leaders and professional speakers who want to lead with clarity, credibility and confidence — not just keep the peace.Find out more about Julie's work at JulieHolunga.com or connect with her on LinkedInCHAPTERS00:00 Lazy Leadership: A New Perspective02:24 Empowering Women in Conflict Resolution05:28 The Importance of Language and Tone08:02 Navigating Male-Dominated Environments10:48 Constructive Conflict: A Path Forward13:43 The Spectrum of Conflict Engagement16:19 Authenticity in Communication19:07 The Three C's of Conflict Competence21:54 Building Trust Through Effective Communication24:48 Practical Applications in Everyday Life42:11 Closing ThoughtsKey TakeawaysCredibility in leadership is crucial for effective communication.Lazy leadership occurs when leaders avoid difficult conversations.Effort and preparation are necessary for addressing conflict.Language and tone significantly impact conflict resolution.Women often face challenges in asserting themselves in male-dominated environments.Constructive conflict can lead to better outcomes and relationships.Clarity, choice, and communication are key components of conflict competence.The Titanium Rule emphasises speaking to others as they need to be spoken to.Authenticity in communication fosters trust and collaboration.Being deliberate in our interactions can lead to more positive outcomes.Visit presentinfluence.com/quiz to take the Speaker Radiance Quiz and discover your Charisma Quotient.For speaking enquiries or to connect with me, you can email john@presentinfluence.com or find me on LinkedInYou can find all our clips, episodes and more on the Present Influence YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PresentInfluenceThanks for listening, and please give the show a 5* review if you enjoyed it.

In this episode, I'm sharing my 2026 goals — and more importantly, how I plan to achieve them. I'm walking you through the five goals I've set for the year, why I approached goal-setting differently this time, and how my 2026 word of the year — surrender — is shaping both my life and my business. We'll talk about:   Letting go of control and perfection in goal setting Why personal and business goals can't (and shouldn't) be separated What it looks like to focus on embodiment instead of constant tracking Creating consistent, meaningful impact through generosity And my core business goal for 2026: creating opportunities for women in real estate that wouldn't exist otherwise I'm also breaking down the specific action steps behind each goal — because vision without a plan doesn't get you very far.

From navigating Wall Street during the financial crisis to building wealth strategies for women who are reshaping the economy, Emily Green shares how she became a powerful advocate for women taking control of their financial futures.In our conversation, I sit down with Emily Green, Head of Wealth Management at Ellevest, a company founded by Sally Krawcheck to close the persistent investment gap facing women. Emily's career began at J.P. Morgan, where she quickly noticed a troubling pattern: male founders were consistently better prepared and better supported when selling businesses or going public, while women were left without the same level of financial advocacy. That realization led her to Ellevest, where she helped build the firm's wealth management division from the ground up, effectively launching a startup within a startup.Emily opens up about the pivotal transition Ellevest made after selling its robo-advisory business in 2024, a bold decision that required letting go of an early identity to gain clarity around serving high-earning and high-net-worth women more deeply. We talk about how women's relationships with money evolve over time, shifting from budgeting and day-to-day decisions toward life trade-offs, fulfillment, and legacy. Emily also shares how her clients' wealth comes from diverse paths, like corporate leadership, early tech roles, entrepreneurship, and investing, reflecting a growing desire for alternatives to traditional banking models.This talk dives into the historic wealth transfer underway and why women will be at the center of it, controlling an estimated fifty percent of U.S. wealth by 2030. Emily introduces the idea of “wealth care,” reframing money as a tool to maximize life rather than an end goal. From examining inherited money beliefs to treating personal finances like a business, she offers grounded, actionable guidance that can save women millions over their lifetimes.If you're ready to rethink money, leadership, and long-term impact, this is an episode you don't want to miss.Chapters

In this episode of The People Dividend Podcast, host Mike Horne and Nancy Griffin explore the interconnected themes of self-worth, net worth, and legacy, particularly in the context of women's empowerment. Nancy shares her journey in advocating for financial independence, wellness, and philanthropy among women, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing health and the impact of generosity. The conversation delves into actionable steps for building a legacy and the significance of working with trusted advisors to navigate financial planning. Through personal anecdotes and insights, Nancy highlights the transformative power of philanthropy and the ripple effects it can create within communities.   Key Points: Self-worth and net worth are deeply connected. Women often bear a disproportionate amount of responsibility for family health and wellness, which are essential for being an asset to others. Generosity often returns benefits to the giver and can create a significant ripple effect in communities. Women are increasingly earning and inheriting wealth, creating opportunities for stewardship. Leadership involves empowering others to step into their strengths. Building a legacy starts with education and community involvement.   Links:  Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Learn More About Executive and Organization Development with Mike Horne Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikehorneauthor  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikehorneauthor/,  LinkedIn Mike's Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/6867258581922799617/,  Schedule a Discovery Call with Mike: https://calendly.com/mikehorne/15-minute-discovery-call-with-mike     Learn More about Nancy Griffin: https://womenworthwellness.com/about-us/  #peopledividendpodcast #podcastepisode #podcastrecommendations #WomenEmpowerment #HealthAndWealth #Philanthropy #FinancialIndependence #LegacyPlanning

Trish welcomes Dr. Courtney Johnson, a pelvic floor physical therapist specializing in women's health for female athletes and active moms. Together, they challenge the outdated advice of relying solely on Kegels, explaining why tight pelvic floors aren't necessarily strong and can contribute to issues like leakage, prolapse, and pain, while debunking the normalization of postpartum symptoms as "just part of being a mom." Dr. Courtney advocates for a holistic approach to recovery, emphasizing the role of factors such as stress, sleep, sunshine, breathing techniques, pressure management, lifestyle habits, and even loose clothing in supporting pelvic floor health and the broader core system.

In this powerful episode, Mike welcomes Katya Karlova, former corporate VP, resilience alchemist, author, and endometriosis advocate, for a conversation centered on transforming pain into purpose. Originally from Moldova and educated at UCLA and University College London, Katya spent 15 years in global talent management before a life-altering health journey redirected her calling. During the pandemic, Katya confronted chronic pain, anxiety, and body dysmorphia, eventually receiving a long-overdue diagnosis of endometriosis, a condition affecting millions of women worldwide yet still widely misunderstood and misdiagnosed. She shares the emotional and physical toll of navigating a medical system that often dismisses women's pain, and the resilience required to continue advocating for answers. That experience became the catalyst for her debut book, Invisible Pain, Unstoppable Power, and for her growing advocacy work supporting those living with trauma, chronic illness, and unseen suffering. Katya also opens up about body positivity, self-love, and reclaiming confidence, including her journey into boudoir modeling as a powerful form of healing and self-expression. With more than 500,000 social media followers, Katya discusses authenticity, censorship, bias against curvy women, and the challenge of balancing vulnerability with empowerment online. Recognized as one of Womenpreneur Magazine's Top 20 Empowering Women, her story is a compelling testament to resilience, leadership through empathy, and the transformative power of gratitude.   IN THIS EPISODE: ➡️ THE DIAGNOSIS FIGHT: Katya's years-long battle to be diagnosed with endometriosis ➡️ MEDICAL GASLIGHTING EXPOSED: How women's pain is dismissed inside the healthcare system ➡️ PAIN INTO POWER: The personal crisis that sparked Invisible Pain, Unstoppable Power ➡️ THE POWER OF POSITIVE BODY IMAGE: Katya's journey into the world of boudoir modeling ➡️ IMPACT THROUGH AUTHENTICITY: Building a global community by leading with truth and vulnerability

Besties Stacy and Daynah dig into whether season 4 of The Morning Show still delivers on its original promise of women-centered power or simply mirrors the same messy systems it once set out to critique. They break down ambition, accountability, and the ways women turn on each other, calling out what felt uncomfortably real, what went under-examined, and why certain storylines landed harder than others. Along the way, they share their own experiences with getting fired for setting boundaries and navigating midlife reckoning energy, before circling back to Corey discourse, Stella's reckoning, Alex's choices, and why “girlboss” narratives tend to collapse when real power enters the room. Together, they ask the real question: is this empowerment or just realism dressed up as progress? 0:00 | Holiday chaos & faking it 3:30 | Midlife reckoning energy 7:45 | Setting boundaries & getting fired 14:10 | Work, rejection & feeling disposable 19:30 | The Morning Show: too real or not critical enough? 26:00 | Women in power & girlboss collapse 33:40 | Corey discourse & mommy issues 41:20 | Stella's reckoning & accountability 48:10 | Alex, ambition & questionable choices 54:30 | So… is this empowerment?

Are you dealing with painful periods, missing cycles, weight gain you can't explain, anxiety that won't go away, or fertility struggles that your doctor keeps calling "unexplained"? What if I told you that being a woman is not a diagnosis, and those symptoms your doctor keeps brushing off as "normal" are actually your body trying to tell you something?Today I'm sitting down with Dr. Jessica Dupont, a naturopathic doctor and fertility expert who is completely rewriting how women understand their bodies. Jessica breaks down why we're living in a cortisol era where chronically high stress has rewired our brains to think constant overwhelm is normal. She's explaining the three major shifts that have happened in women's health over the last 10 to 15 years, why most women in their thirties who think they're in perimenopause actually just need cortisol regulation, and her revolutionary Fertility 3.0 approach that focuses on egg competence, not just egg count. We're talking about the bacteria that causes recurring miscarriages that most fertility clinics aren't even testing for, why you can improve your egg quality in as little as 90 days, and what cycle syncing actually means (spoiler: you don't need to eat specific foods on certain days).This conversation completely changed how I think about my own health. If you're a high-achieving woman who's been told your symptoms are "just stress" or "just being a woman," this episode is going to feel like the permission slip and roadmap you've been waiting for.00:41 Introduction 01:22 Meet Jessica Dupont: Naturopathic Doctor05:57 The Cortisol Era and Women's Health08:08 The Impact of Modern Lifestyle on Women's Health24:11 Understanding Cortisol and Its Effects49:33 Debunking Menstrual Myths50:41 Understanding the Menstrual Cycle56:59 Fertility and Egg Quality01:04:37 Proactive Fertility Planning01:14:53 Perimenopause: What You Need to Know01:24:49 Empowering Women's HealthConnect with Jessica: InstagramWebsite  To join the Ambitious Network for free, click HERE.

In this episode of Boss Bitch Radio, I sat down with Gemma James, the host of Muse Yourself Podcast for a deep and honest conversation about my journey, my reinventions, and the many chapters that led me to where I am today. Gemma interviews me about how my life shifted from becoming a teen mom at 16, to raising two children on my own, to navigating toxic workplaces, financial struggle, and the overwhelming pressure of simply trying to survive!  I share how fitness became my lifeline during some of my darkest moments, helping me manage depression and slowly rebuild my confidence. We talk about how a random idea turned into a thriving pole dancing business, how that evolved into a women's strength studio, and how following tiny nudges without knowing the full plan turned into a career of helping women over 40 feel strong, capable, and connected to their bodies! This episode dives into midlife health, reinvention, the power of movement, and the surprising path that brought me from government aid to coaching women worldwide. If you're craving a fresh start or love hearing raw, real stories of growth and grit, this conversation with Gemma is one you'll want to hear.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Stephanie Wall. Purpose of the Interview To share Dr. Wall’s expertise as a neuroscience coach, criminal justice professor, author, and mentor. To discuss her mission through 1 Million Lives Transform, a global movement helping women unmute their voices and lead with authenticity and confidence. To provide actionable strategies for overcoming self-doubt, fear, and imposter syndrome in professional and personal settings. Key Takeaways Background and Roles Served 20 years in law enforcement and continues teaching criminal justice and ethical leadership. Founder of 1 Million Lives Transform, focused on empowering women to reclaim their voices. Unmuting Your Voice Many professionals mute themselves due to fear, lack of confidence, or imposter syndrome. Techniques: Awareness: Recognize when you’re silencing yourself. Pause and breathe before responding. Stand up when speaking in meetings to command attention and project confidence. Use phrases like “I’d like to build on that point” to engage respectfully. Mindset and Fear What you tell yourself matters more than external criticism. Replace negative self-talk with affirmations and surround yourself with positive influences. Neuroscience supports that repeated positive input rewires thought patterns. Boundaries and Time Management Learn to say “No” as a complete sentence. Set boundaries for phone calls and social interactions to protect productivity. Busy professionals should establish communication rules (e.g., “Do you have a minute?”). Authenticity and Leadership Authenticity is key—embrace your natural gifts and use them to transform spaces. Leadership requires mindset shifts when moving from peer to manager roles. Mentorship should be intentional and specific, not generic (“pick your brain” requests need structure). 1 Million Lives Transform A movement to help women rewrite their narratives, reclaim confidence, and lead boldly. Focus on self-awareness, boundaries, and empowerment strategies. Notable Quotes “Notice in that moment that you are muting yourself.” “Stand up when you speak—you command the room.” “No is a complete sentence.” “Our gifts are not for us; they are for other people.” “What you say to yourself does more damage than anything anyone else could say.” “Authenticity isn’t lip service—it’s showing up as who you truly are.” “Boundaries are not selfish; they are necessary.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
