Podcasts about women entrepreneurs

Have you ever reached a point where everything looks successful on the outside, but deep down you know something needs to change? In this inspiring episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison sits down with entrepreneur, peak performance coach, and Relaunch creator Hilary DeCesare to explore what happens when life calls you into your next evolution. Hilary shares the powerful story behind her own "I'm done" moment—a pivotal experience that forced her to confront burnout, redefine her identity, and ultimately create the Relaunch Method that has helped thousands of women navigate major life transitions with confidence and intention. Together, Allison and Hilary discuss why so many high-achieving women feel stuck despite outward success, how identity shifts are often the missing piece in personal and professional growth, and why reinvention isn't about starting over—it's about building from the wisdom you've already earned. Hilary also walks Allison through her signature Tune In Process, a simple yet powerful framework that combines neuroscience, visualization, music, emotional alignment, and micro-actions to help women gain clarity, elevate their energy, and move toward their biggest goals. You'll also hear a fascinating conversation about manifestation, the Law of Attraction, The Secret, and how intentionality can help create opportunities that once seemed impossible. Whether you're navigating a career change, business growth, burnout, divorce, motherhood, or simply feeling called toward something more, this episode will remind you that you're not lost—and you're definitely not stuck. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why feeling frustrated is different from being stuck How to recognize when you're ready for a relaunch The hidden identity shifts behind major life transitions Hilary's 3HQ™ framework: Head, Heart & Highest Self The neuroscience behind her Tune In Process How music can help elevate your energy and performance Practical tools for overcoming fear and creating momentum The role manifestation and intentionality play in success Why reinvention is available at every stage of life How to build a life rich in purpose, impact, wealth, and fulfillment Connect with Hilary: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hilarydecesare/ Website: https://therelaunch.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/hilarydecesare/ https://www.facebook.com/TheReLaunchCo https://www.youtube.com/@hilarydecesare This episode is sponsored by AdventHealth for Women.

What if your marketing problem has almost nothing to do with algorithms, social media, or even consistency - at all?In this surprisingly deep and insightful conversation, I asked content strategist and Content Queen founder Mariah MacInnes  to unpack why so many practice owners struggle with marketing — especially healing arts professionals who care so much about helping people, but get super squirmy when it comes to being seen themselves!

Perfectionism has a sneaky way of turning a perfectly good life into a project you can never finish. I sit down with author, fiber artist, and motivational speaker Lorie Kleiner Eckhert to talk about reinvention, resilience, and the moment you decide that “good enough” is not failure, it's freedom. Lorie's newest book, Chai On Life (a playful nod to “chai,” the Hebrew word for life), becomes our jumping-off point for how to move through big transitions with more self-trust and less self-criticism.We get practical and personal: why many of us wait decades to give ourselves permission to do what makes us happy, what divorce and midlife singlehood taught Lorie about independence, and how a complicated “perfect” chicken soup recipe captures the problem with overthinking everything. Lorie also shares how quilts became her visual storytelling tool on stages from PTAs to Procter & Gamble, and why returning to simpler, more durable creativity helped her come back to herself.If you're feeling stuck, Lorie offers a clear two-step reinvention plan: keep your healthy daily routine even when you're hurting, then take one tiny step a day toward your new life and write it down in an accountability log. We also normalize therapy and counseling as ongoing emotional support, not a last resort, and we end with a favorite idea: being “flawsome” and giving yourself credit for the brave next step.Subscribe for more conversations on personal growth, mental fitness, creativity, and navigating life transitions, then share this with a friend who needs a little lift and leave a review so more people can find us.

Meghann Butcher built RepSpark, a B2B wholesale e-commerce platform now moving over a billion dollars a year, without a single line of tech on her resume.She grew up in her dad's apparel and footwear business, hanging around the warehouse at five years old. At 27, when her father's order-entry tool started catching on with independent sales reps, he asked if she wanted to run with it. She said yes, and bootstrapped it from there.In this conversation, Meghann and I get into how a psychology and communications major became the product visionary for a software company, why she still leans on empathy over technical skill to lead, and how staying close to customer pain points built a platform now used by nearly 100,000 retailers.We also talk about being a mom of three while running a growing company, building a drama-free culture, and what it actually takes to scale a bootstrapped business on your own terms.Tune in for a real look at building something durable without the usual playbook.

 "Your life is a garden and whatever you cultivate is what springs up, and if you don't pull out certain weeds, it ends up choking out the good stuff." My good friend, Dr. Word Smith is back for the third time. He flew into Philly, we sat down with zero agenda, and what came out was one of the most honest, layered conversations I've had on this show about relationships, childhood wounds, codependency, Buddhism, karma, and what it actually takes to change.We get into why intimate relationships are the sharpest mirror we have for our unprocessed childhood material, and why most of us don't even have language for what we didn't receive growing up, only a feeling that something was missing. Word shares his own journey through toxic shame, perfectionism, and self-criticism, and what it looked like to actually move through it over 25 years of real inner work. We also dive into Buddhism, the concept of seed planting, why just changing your thoughts doesn't work, and why the feelings and the body have to be part of the equation.Then we go deep into codependency, the slow, invisible way it builds, how it rewards you just enough to keep you stuck, and what it means to finally hit the wall where continuing the old way is no longer an option. We talk about the container: what it means to have a safe space where your body knows it can finally feel, and why that safety isn't a luxury, it's the actual mechanism of change. We close with a tease: we may be co-facilitating a retreat this fall. Stay tuned.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSWhy intimate relationships trigger us more than anything elseThe moment Word finally understood what toxic shame wasHow to trace shame back to childhood: what questions to ask yourselfWhy affirmations alone don't work, and what you're missing when you skip the feelings and bodyBuddhism, karma, and seed plantingCodependency: a survival mechanism that stops serving youThe perimenopause layer: why women in their 40s suddenly can't tolerate the old patterns anymoreSelf-abandonment disguised as being a good mom, wife, partner, and how to start seeing itThe container: why your body knows when it's safe to feel, and why that space is the key to processingFall retreat announcement.

 If you're doing the work and still not getting sales, your problem as a business owner isn't content. It's messaging.

If you've ever felt yourself shrinking before hitting record, freezing before going live, or losing your voice in the moments that matter most, this interview with Kimberly LaForte is for you.She's a voice guide, visibility coach, motivational speaker, and founder of Vocal Honey — a methodology and movement for unmuted leadership. Kimberly blends over 20 years of psychology, neuroscience, Eastern philosophy, somatics, and vocal energetics to help women speakers, coaches, and entrepreneurs step into unshakable presence and sacred self-expression.In this conversation, Kimberly opens up about how a nine-year misaligned marriage left her voice smaller and smaller… until she was taking beta blockers just to go to dinner with friends. Her journey from medicated and silenced to founding the Vocal Honey movement to empower women to take the stage to build impactful careers, is a masterclass in reclaiming your power from the inside out.In this episode we cover:Why you lose your voice in private long before you lose it on stageThe difference between being ready and being resolved (and why only one of them matters)How messy action and mental rehearsal wire your nervous system for visibilityThe real fears behind showing up on camera — judgment, criticism, and proving your worthWhy tension is your nervous system's greatest teacherKimberly's signature somatic practice you can do backstage, before going live, or before a hard conversationHow to build visibility reps on the "everyday stage" of daily lifeWhy the silence between visibility moments is where your real growth happensWhether you're a coach, speaker, entrepreneur, or creative woman ready to stop people-pleasing with your voice and start leading with it… this episode will shift how you think about showing up, speaking out, and being seen.

Thinking about hiring a coach to help you grow your private practice? Before you invest time, money, energy, and trust into someone else's guidance, it's important to know what you're actually looking for. In this episode, I'll share 5 key questions to help you evaluate potential coaches wisely — from experience and accountability to intuition, alignment, and integrity. Because finding the right support can absolutely change your business... but choosing poorly can cost you, too. So in this episode, you'll hear... Why the coaching industry can feel so overwhelming (and what to watch for). The importance of choosing someone who actually walks their talk. How testimonials, referrals, and client stories can help you evaluate a coach. Why emotional resonance and personal connection matters more than you think. The difference between a coach who cheers you on... and one who calls you forward. As you'll hear, I've been working with coaches off and on for 20 years, and I've learned something from every single one of them - including how to choose the right coach to begin with! I'm going to help you figure that out too, so that you can choose the kind of support that fits what you need with confidence. If you're standing at the threshold, wondering how to take the next step - you'll love this. Give it a listen. ~Wendy P.S. Working with excellent coaches has literally changed my life - AND my business. What if it's possible that that could happen for you? :) _______________ RESOURCES Interested in a Quick Start Consult?

Midlife gets labeled as “the beginning of the end,” but that story falls apart the moment you meet women who are building businesses at 80, traveling solo, starting podcasts, or simply reclaiming their strength after a hard season. I sit down with Heike Yates, midlife fitness expert, Pilates teacher, and author of Pursue Your Spark, to talk about why midlife is better understood as an upward turning point and how women can rebuild energy and confidence without extremes, shame, or the exhausting pressure to “start over.”We dig into the mindset shift that changes everything: the idea that you must “let go of the old you” to become “the new you.” Heike pushes back, and I love her take because it honors every chapter you've lived. We talk about identity, roles, and what it means to integrate your experiences instead of discarding them. Her onion metaphor lands hard: peeling back layers can bring tears and grief, but it also reveals what's true underneath and what you want next.Heike shares the real story behind her book, including a caregiver client who finally returns from a break saying, “I feel like myself again,” not as a throwback to youth, but as a return to her power right now. From there, we walk through Heike's SPARK framework (Scan, Plan, Take Action, Overcome Roadblocks, Keep Momentum) and why it works for midlife health goals, menopause seasons, career changes, and any moment where you feel stuck. We close with practical guidance on exercise consistency when you're already exhausted: clear your plate, protect your energy, and let movement support healing instead of becoming another demand.If you know a woman who needs a gentler path to midlife fitness and real momentum we invite you to share this conversation.Connect with Heike - websiteRead Pursue Your Spark hereLet me know what you'd like to hear more about on the showSupport the showI'm Carol Clegg, your host, an accountability coach and curious conversationalist inviting guests from a wide range of backgrounds to share insights on how they live, think, and navigate change.If you enjoy reflection, fresh perspectives, and honest dialogue, this space is for you.If you'd like to experience this work in community, I host a complimentary monthly Accountability Circle  a supportive space to pause, gain clarity, and choose a gentle next step forward.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when your business, motherhood, and responsibilities continue to grow… but your inner capacity feels stretched thin?In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, I welcome mindset and entrepreneur coach Coach Clem to The Good Enough Mompreneur Podcast to talk about the hidden emotional weight so many women silently carry while trying to “hold it all together.”Coach Clem, a UK-based mindset coach originally from France, has supported hundreds of women — many of them mompreneurs — through growth, transition, burnout, overwhelm, and the internal pressure that often goes unseen. Together, Angela and Clem explore the importance of inner stability, why awareness alone isn't enough to create change, and how many of the behaviors we label as “self-sabotage” are actually intelligent protection patterns formed over time.This conversation is a reminder that you do not have to build your business from survival mode — and that sustainable success begins within.In this episode, we discuss: Why ambitious women often feel overwhelmed even when life looks successful  The invisible expectations placed on moms and entrepreneurs  How social media fuels the “not enough” feeling  Reframing self-sabotage as intelligent protection  The connection between perfectionism, people pleasing, and burnout  The three life seasons: growth, realignment, and survival  Why awareness alone doesn't create lasting transformation  How to begin building inner stability in everyday life  The importance of alignment in motherhood, business, and personal growth  Why this inner work matters not just for us — but for our children, too Memorable Moments from the Episode:✨ “You do not have to prove your worth through exhaustion.”✨ “A strength taken too far can become self-sabotage.”✨ “You can build success from alignment instead of survival mode.”✨ “Inner stability is not a luxury — it's a foundation.”Connect with Coach Clem:

Most networking advice was built for men and tested on men. It tells you to work the room, collect contacts, and follow up fast. But research across four continents and fifteen years of longitudinal studies shows that women who network like men consistently underperform the women who don't. Networking strategist and two-time author J. Kelly Hoey shares the goods from the landmark study that launched her latest book, The Social Billionaire. Women who reach the top don't just stay plugged into information flows. They build a second, inner circle of like-minded women with diverse networks, and they use three high-impact strategies most women have never been taught: brokering, churn, and visibility. If you've been told to "just get out there and network" and it's never moved the needle for your business, this episode explains why, and gives you the research-backed formula that actually works.In this episode of the She Leads Podcast, Adrienne and Kelly unpack the central finding of her new book, The Social Billionaire: the women who get internships, land roles, and grow businesses past the million-dollar mark run two networks at once. One is the broader information flow everyone else is in. The other is a smaller, intentional inner circle of like-minded women with diverse networks who give real feedback, real introductions, and back-channel advice that moves careers and businesses forward.Adrienne and Kelly get into the three high-impact networking activities women consistently skip: brokering, churn, and visibility. They talk about why "I don't have time to network" usually means defaulting to transactional outreach, and why the kindest thing you can do for someone is to be specific about what you need.To build a strong, healthy business with longevity, you must build your network strategically. Kelly tells us why.Chapters:

If you've ever thought, “I don't even know what I want anymore,” or “I know what I want, but I'm scared to say it out loud,” this episode is for you.So many women entrepreneurs aren't held back by strategy. They're held back by guilt. The moment you choose what's right for you, someone close to you has an opinion… and suddenly you start shrinking, explaining, apologizing, and making your dreams smaller so other people can stay comfortable.In this episode, Maggie breaks down why that guilt shows up, how the “good girl” conditioning impacts ambitious women, and what it actually looks like to own your choices without burning relationships down or abandoning yourself.In this episode, you'll learn:Why many women struggle to admit what they truly want (and how people-pleasing sneaks into your goals)The difference between wishing and deciding — and why real decisions create momentumHow the invisible load and mental labour impact women's energy, confidence, and risk toleranceWhat pushback can look like when you start growing (even from people who love you)How to stop treating guilt like a compass — and start treating it like a signal you're breaking an old patternCalm, firm language you can use when someone doesn't agree with your choicesMaggie's personal stories in this episode:The year she chose to wait, prepare, and reapply to an elite university program (even when her dad disagreed)The decision to divorce her first husband — and what it taught her about choosing truth over comfortYou are allowed to want what you want. You are allowed to build wealth. You are allowed to be ambitious. You are allowed to choose a life and business that fit you.And when you live in alignment, you show up as your best self. As a leader, business owner, partner, and mother. The people who truly love you for who you are will appreciate that version of you.Ready to stop shrinking?If you're ready to get clear on what you want, lead with confidence, and build a business that supports your life (without guilt running the show), book a complimentary consultation here - https://www.stairwaytoleadership.com/We'll talk about where you are, where you want to go, and what needs to shift so you can grow without abandoning yourself in the process.

Victoria Lai has lived several careers in one lifetime: presidential appointee at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, entrepreneur, and now business advisor and nonprofit COO. But her biggest pivot came when she nurtured her passion for making ice cream on nights and weekends while working a serious government job. In this extra sweet episode, Victoria walks us through how a $25 Craigslist ice cream maker and a promise to herself led to Ice Cream Jubilee, the award-winning DC-area business celebrated by Food & Wine, the Washington Post, and Thrillist, and what it felt like to eventually sell the business she'd spent nearly a decade building. She also opens up about her family's Chinese immigrant history and how it shaped both her flavors and her sense of purpose, and why she considers her latest pivot back to mission-driven work the most fitting chapter yet.

(You know this part!)What it really means to be “coachable”... (Are you?)Why timing matters when investing in this level of supportThe difference between looking for rescue… and learning to lead.

In this episode of The Real Women Real Business Podcast, Shauna Lynn Simon challenges the pressure to constantly chase the latest strategies, trends, and expert advice. For many entrepreneurs, especially “Accidental CEOs,” growth doesn't stall because of a lack of knowledge, but because they begin to doubt what has already been working in their business.Shauna Lynn breaks down how learning can quietly turn into second-guessing, and why blindly following loud or confident voices often leads to building a business that no longer feels aligned. She introduces a powerful way to filter advice, focusing on principles rather than copying tactics, and explains how to combine proven frameworks with your own real-world experience.Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to make strategic decisions that support their strengths, values, and capacity, instead of chasing every new idea that shows up online.If you've been feeling pulled in too many directions, this episode will help you refocus, simplify, and move forward with confidence.Timestamps:(01:50) - (06:30) - Why entrepreneurs start doubting what already works(06:31) - (13:00) - The problem with trends, hacks, and “the only thing that works”(13:01) - (20:50) - The guru effect and why loud advice creates confusion(20:51) - (27:30) - How to filter strategies through your own business(27:31) - (37:20) - Adapting frameworks instead of copying them exactly(37:21) - (49:10) - A practical exercise to refocus on what actually worksResources:Book Your FREE Coaching Assessment Call with Shauna Lynn: https://www.aboutshaunalynn.com/coachmeLearn more about the show: AboutShaunaLynn.com/podcast

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Hatch Beauty Founder Tracy Holland on the hidden cost of building at all costs. Tracy Holland built Hatch Beauty into a $100 million beauty empire in five and a half years. Self-funded.Three kids under five. EY Entrepreneur of the Year. A manufacturing facility in Durham, North Carolina.Business with some of the biggest retailers in the world. Every metric of success you could point to and say, she made it. And then she could not keep up with her own success.One morning at 7:15, after another three-hour sleep night, with 14 minutes and 30 seconds calculated to get coffee, use the bathroom and make it to her 7:15 AM appointment, she pulled over on Pico Boulevard and thought three steps into traffic would fix everything.That is where this conversation starts.We talk about secret keeping. About what it does to you when the outside image and the inside reality stop matching. When everyone around you sees the success, the beautiful children, the thriving business,the awards and you cannot find a single person you trust enough to tell the truth to. About perfectionism and the refusal to give yourself any grace. About the identity that gets built around being the one who has it together, who never breaks, who figures it out. And how that identity becomes its own kind of prison.We talk about the cost of the hustle and growth-at-all-cost culture. The real version. The marriage held together with one hand while building a company with the other. And what happens when your life getstired of waiting and screams back at you.Tracy shares the turning point. The daily practices that recalibrated her thinking. How she rebuilt a $27 million business in 24 months after walking away from everything. And the question that changed everything for her. Listen to the episode and find out.I know Tracy personally. I watched her. She always looked amazing on the outside. Truly an inspiring woman and founder. After this conversation I love her even more because of her raw honesty and willingness to share the hard things from her journey.This is one of the most honest conversations I have had on this show. If you have ever built something and wondered what it is costing you, this episode is for you.About Tracy Holland I'm a founder, investor, and operator who has spent more than two decades building brands and businesses with women who lead. I co-founded HATCHBEAUTY and helped scale it to over $750M in cumulative wholesale revenue, launching and growing brands like Naturewell, Nuance by Salma Hayek, BLISS Color, FOUND Active, and Orlando Pita Haircare.The pod discusses alignment of spirituality and strategy.:My work sits at the intersection of mindset, intuition, and strategic execution. I believe true business growth happens when you align who you are with how you lead, combining inner clarity with smart, scalable strategy. I help women step into their power by strengthening both their mindset and their business strategy. That means building confidence, trusting their instincts, and pairing that with proven frameworks to grow, scale, and lead. It's not either/or, it's both.LINKS & RESOURCESInstagram| LinkedIn | Facebook |Website_____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

Championship Culture At HomeYour kid strikes out, double-faults, falls in a routine, or melts down after a mistake and suddenly your whole body feels it too. We get it and we go there, honestly. Kelly sits down with Becky Beaulieu of Championship Culture Coach and Jaime Gaard Chapman of Gaard Performance Academy to talk about the messy middle of raising young athletes while also running a business, managing a marriage, and trying to stay steady in your own skin. Becky shares the turning point that made “culture” impossible to ignore and why winning is often the byproduct of habits you cannot see on a stat sheet: body language, standards, team-first behavior, and the courage to address conflict instead of sweeping it away. Jaime adds what she's learned coaching across generations, why youth sports feel more professionalized than when we grew up, and how Gen Z athletes respond to autonomy, ownership, and leadership that listens. We also dig into sports parenting pressure, identity, and the car ride home. How do you hold high standards without tying your mood to their score? When does opportunity become overload for the whole family? What are practical ways to manage time and energy as a working mom, including batching, deliberate communication, and scheduling joy before tournaments take over the calendar? You'll leave with mindset tools, language that protects your child's confidence, and a clearer definition of what a healthy “championship culture” can look like at home. If this hits close to home, subscribe, share it with a sports parent friend, and leave a review so more families can find the support they need.

About this episode Emma Grede has been a billion-dollar consumer brand operator for almost a decade. She co-founded Good American with Khloé Kardashian. She's a founding partner of SKIMS, currently valued at $5 billion. She sits on the Obama Foundation board. She's on the Forbes list of America's Richest Self-Made Women. And until April 14, 2026 - per WWD - she was, quote, "for the most part, an enigma." Two weeks later, she's everywhere. This isn't a hot-take episode. This is a strategic breakdown of what Emma Grede actually did - the four moves, the engineered soundbites, the year of infrastructure she built before the launch - and why most accomplished women won't run the same play. Plus a real-time announcement: Monique is writing her first book and searching for the right literary agent, in public, on this podcast. What you'll learn The four moves Emma Grede executed in 14 days (and why each one is reproducible at smaller scale). Why "I'd be more worried if nobody was talking" is the most important sentence of the entire book tour. The trade between being quotable and being safe - and why softening your take is what's keeping you uncirculated. Why most accomplished women won't run this play, even when they have the receipts to. And the smaller version of the play you can run starting this week. Chapters 00:00 - Cold open: the woman everyone's talking about 01:30 - Who Emma Grede was six months ago 04:30 - What she did in 14 days 08:00 - The four moves (infrastructure, soundbite, discourse, consistency) 12:00 - Why Team Emma on the three-hour mom take 14:00 - Why your audience won't do it 16:00 - The smaller version - and the book announcement 18:30 - Close + CTA Memorable quotes "The book is not the story. The book is the artifact." "Emma Grede let herself be misunderstood on purpose. She held an opinion strong enough to travel. That is the trade." "I am tired of people telling mothers how to do anything." "The fight is the marketing. The conversation is the distribution. Emma Grede understood that her job was not to win the debate. Her job was to be the debate." "I'm not waiting until I have a deal to tell you this. The visibility of the search is part of the strategy." Resources mentioned The free AI Visibility Audit.

If you've ever done “all the right things” for your mental health and still felt stuck, this conversation will challenge what you've been told to expect. I'm joined by Brisbane-based psychotherapist, educator, and author Yildiz Sethi, who makes a clear case for moving beyond coping strategies and symptom management toward deeper healing that actually changes the pattern underneath.We talk about why the dominant medical model can quietly lock people into labels and long timelines, even as neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and epigenetics keep proving the brain and nervous system can change. Yildiz explains why so much therapy stays on the surface of the conscious mind, and what happens when you finally work with the subconscious instead. We dig into two powerful sources of repeating struggles: generational patterns carried through family systems and epigenetic inheritance, and personal experiences that get repressed as protection and later show up as triggers, anxiety, anger, or persistent self-doubt.Jildiz shares how approaches like family constellations and her trauma-informed processing work aim to find the root cause quickly and resolve it safely, not just reframe it. She also adds an important safeguard: some severe mental health conditions still require diagnosis, medication, and specialist care, and this work is not a blanket answer for every case. Connect with YildizWebsite: https://yildizsethi.com/LinkedIn  https://linkedin.com/in/yildiz-sethi/If this brought you relief or sparked a new way of thinking about psychotherapy and healing, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find Connect, Inspire, Create.Let me know what you'd like to hear more about on the showSupport the showI'm Carol Clegg, your host, an accountability coach and curious conversationalist inviting guests from a wide range of backgrounds to share insights on how they live, think, and navigate change.If you enjoy reflection, fresh perspectives, and honest dialogue, this space is for you.If you'd like to experience this work in community, I host a complimentary monthly Accountability Circle  a supportive space to pause, gain clarity, and choose a gentle next step forward.

Women founders get 2.3% of VC funding. Not because they lack vision, grit, or ideas, but because the playbook they've been handed was built for men. In this episode, I sit down with Anna Mazarsky, founder of PinkX PowerCore, the first tactical platform built to close the funding gap from the inside out. Anna spent nearly two decades inside the fundraising world. When she pulled the data, she didn't find a confidence problem. She found a systems problem, a bias problem, and a pattern-matching problem no amount of mindset coaching was ever going to fix. So she stopped coaching and started building. We get into why female-led VC funds aren't moving the needle, why women consistently ask for less than they've earned the right to raise, and why 80% of something will always beat 100% of nothing. The system wasn't built for us. Anna is building the one that is. Chapters:

Grab our free Masterclass to Grow Your Coaching Business:https://coaching.debbieshadid.com/masterclassLast year I hired two coaches. The biggest investments I had ever made in my life. And my business did grow, but not because of these coaches. Both of them were bad decisions. But, you know what I did? I showed up anyway.I went to California twice for retreats I did not need to go to. I asked every question. I got coached on everything I could. I made the most of it. Because that is what you do when you are committed to something.Too often coaches fail because they quit. They aren't fully committed. They have not made the decision to go all in no matter what.I know what it feels like to invest in yourself and not get the result you wanted. That is why I made this episode. Not to make you feel bad. But because I genuinely believe you can do this.

You know, I have had so many conversations with coaches who are sitting on something truly powerful and they just cannot find the words to explain it. And I want you to know, that is not a you problem. That is a clarity problem. And clarity is something we can fix.Victoria came to work with me and she told me she was a yoga coach. And I remember thinking, no. That is not it. That is not even close to what you are actually doing with people. And the deeper we went, the more I realized just how special and how specific her gift actually was.Five months later she has a niche that stops people in their tracks, a signature process that is completely her own, and a business foundation she told me she could use to build anything.If you are new to my channel, my name is Debbie Shadid.

Brain lady Julie Anderson spent thirty years studying how neuroscience shapes women's success, and what keeps them from the million dollar mark is not capability. It is mindset, and specifically what their brains have been trained to listen to.In this episode, Adrienne sits down with Julie Anderson, certified brain health professional and international speaker, to talk about the mindset and neuroscience behind how women build and scale. Julie breaks down why women take on too much, why the word "challenge" activates fight response while "opportunity" opens the prefrontal cortex, and why that small shift changes what the brain looks for. They talk through the evening gratitude practice that has to include something about you, the visualization work elite athletes actually do, and something Adrienne noticed in an AI class that morning: a male instructor typing messy prompts and getting ten times the output of a brilliant woman correcting every comma.If you are building toward a million and wondering why the same patterns keep repeating, this one is worth your time.Chapters:01:38
