Grief. Growth. Grit. Abby Combs shares the raw and real behind-the-scenes story of building her business after devastating loss, discovering purpose in unexpected places, and finding her identity beyond the carpool lane. As the founder of E-Studios, she helps health and wellness brands master email marketing, but her story is about so much more than business. It's about self-trust, boundaries, and what it really means to be confident. This is a must-listen for any woman who's ever wondered if she's doing enough, or if she's allowed to want more.

Anushka Salinas is the CEO of the parenting tech company Nanit. Salinas began her career as an assistant buyer at Lord & Taylor, discovering her love for fashion and business data. She then pursued her MBA and serendipitously met the founders of the groundbreaking clothing rental company Rent the Runway when it was still just an idea. She began working for the company as an unpaid intern during business school, and then, upon graduation, left a secure job offer behind to continue growing the business, eventually becoming Rent the Runway's VP of merchandising. She went on to apply her e-commerce expertise to Hudson's Bay and a start-up called Resonance before returning to Rent the Runway to run its subscription business, and then ultimately become its president. Then, in 2024, Salinas pivoted again to lead yet another groundbreaking company, this time in the parenting space. Salinas joined Nanit, a technology company revolutionizing baby monitors with AI insights, offering a data-driven approach to modern parenting. Under her leadership, Nanit continues to innovate and expand, becoming an essential tool for families navigating the joys and challenges of raising children.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the tech world, women are still fighting for access—to funding, to resources, and to the table. Nomiki Petrolla is changing that. She's the founder of Theanna, a SaaS platform built specifically to support women tech founders from idea to scale. After years as head of product at an AI company, Nomiki saw the gap firsthand—and knew something had to change. On this episode of The Powerful Ladies Podcast, we talk about the difference between idea people and doer people, why access matters, and how a personal family crisis helped her find her purpose. I love how she leads with heart and honesty, building not just software but a true community of women who are getting things done.

Courtney Claghorn is the co-founder of SUGARED + BRONZED, the nation's largest sugaring and sunless tanning destination. Claghorn's journey began in 2010, out of her Santa Monica apartment, while juggling a full-time job in the fintech industry. After becoming dissatisfied with the high prices and underwhelming experiences of local spray tanning, she saw a gap in the market, and with just $1000 and encouragement from her then-boyfriend (now-husband and co-founder), she started offering her own services. Over the past 15 years, SUGARED + BRONZED has grown exponentially, now boasting over 35 locations nationwide—with 10 more in the pipeline—as well as a thriving e-commerce business.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Literally First Class, Keri Ford discusses the concept of upper limits, emphasizing that these limits are often physical rather than merely mental. She explores how the nervous system plays a crucial role in our success and how physical responses can indicate deeper mindset blocks. Keri highlights the importance of rewiring our nervous system to facilitate growth and action, and she encourages listeners to build their capacity to handle both high and low emotional states. The conversation concludes with practical advice on identifying physical symptoms related to mindset issues, reinforcing that awareness alone is not enough for transformation.   Takeaways: The upper limit is a physical barrier, not just a mental one. The nervous system's responses can hinder success. Awareness of mindset blocks is not enough for change. Rewiring the nervous system can facilitate growth. Physical symptoms often indicate deeper emotional issues. Building capacity helps manage emotional highs and lows. Noticing positive experiences is crucial for growth. The brain's negative bias can overshadow achievements. Emotions manifest physically in the body. Identifying physical symptoms can lead to breakthroughs.   Episode Resources: Book your free 15-minute Somatic Strategy Call with Jalena (no sales pitch, just a free nervous system audit)!

Felly takes us behind the scenes of her experience inside Dreamium, where she transformed her done-for-you services into a full-blown offer ecosystem and finally started feeling excited (and confident) about selling again.Before Dreamium, Felly was feeling disconnected from her retainer offer, unsure about her pricing, and frustrated that her suite didn't flow.

Angela Vranich is the co-founder and chief product officer of the baby-and-kids food brand Little Spoon. Angela jump-started her career while still in college by founding a nationwide organic food marketing company. After graduation, she got a job in television, producing culinary competition reality shows out of Philadelphia. But she quickly realized it wasn't for her. After a cross-country move to be with her then-boyfriend (now husband and co-founder), who ran an organic foods distribution company, she began to think about what food categories on the market were due for a shake-up. She realized that the baby-food space had been dominated by the same single player for nearly 90 years—and set out to change that. The result is Little Spoon, launched in 2017, which offers fresh-cooked baby food made with organic ingredients. Little Spoon sold a million meals in its first year, and in the years since, it has expanded to include all types of meals for children up to 10 years old. Today, they're the #1 online destination for kids' food and have delivered more than 35 million meals to families nationwide.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we're diving into a conversation about one of the most important shifts happening in business right now. Did you know the fastest-growing segment of entrepreneurship and business ownership is actually women? And at the forefront of that movement is today's guest, a true powerhouse whose story is as inspiring as it is game-changing. Our guest is Suneera Madhani — a visionary entrepreneur, FinTech innovator, and champion for women in business. Suneera is the trailblazing founder of Worth, a revolutionary platform that uses patent-pending AI technology to help small businesses gain fair access to capital. It's a bold, brilliant idea that's leveling the playing field for entrepreneurs everywhere. But her story didn't start at the top. Before founding Worth, Suneera built Stax Payments from the ground up, transforming a simple idea into a multibillion-dollar company with over $140 million in recurring revenue. Along the way, she made history as one of the first female CEOs to build a unicorn — a rare feat in the male-dominated world of FinTech. Her journey is one of resilience, grit, and relentless ambition. From selling credit card machines out of the trunk of a Volkswagen Beetle to being laughed out of boardrooms, she's faced every challenge head-on and proved the doubters wrong time and again. Today, she's not only a successful entrepreneur but also an angel investor, advisor to more than a dozen boards, and a sought-after speaker who's shared her wisdom on some of the world's biggest stages — from Meta and Harvard Business School to South by Southwest and beyond. In this episode, we'll unpack Suneera's incredible rise, her mission to shatter ceilings for women in business, and the lessons she's learned while bootstrapping billion-dollar ventures, navigating biases in leadership, and balancing the demands of entrepreneurship with family life. It's a masterclass in leadership, resilience, and what it takes to redefine an entire industry — and you're going to want to hear every word.   Episode Highlights: 00:22:00 Who is Suneera Madhani? 02:30:00 Suneera Madhani's Early Entrepreneurial Journey 05:08:00 The Game-Changing Idea and Rejection 08:22:00 Building a Billion-Dollar Company 14:10:00 Key Components of a Billion-Dollar Business 18:40:00 The Importance of Team and Culture 21:13:00 Building a Winning Team 22:09:00 The Importance of Networking 22:30:00 Hiring Strategies and Challenges 25:41:00 Reflecting on the Journey 31:39:00 Challenges for Women Entrepreneurs 38:50:00 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   Contact Info: Website: https://suneeramadhani.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suneeramadhani/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suneeramadhani/   Subscribe to the Podcast:

Let's talk about what happens when you start refining your offers. Spoiler alert: it's not just spreadsheets, post-it notes, and “aha” moments. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the emotional chaos that often shows up when you're doing the deep, strategic work of shaping offers that actually reflect your brilliance. If you've been feeling confused, overwhelmed, or even a little bit like a fraud, this one's for you.I get it. You sit down to tweak your offer lineup and suddenly it feels like you're staring into the abyss. You doubt everything. You question if you're even cut out for this. Maybe you've even had the urge to scrap it all and start from scratch. That's not a sign that something's gone wrong. That's a sign you're right on track. We dive into the common emotional stages of offer refinement: confusion, mistrust, self-doubt, and that classic “burn it all down” moment. But we don't stop there. I'll show you how to ride the wave through the winter season of your business and into spring, where things start to click, confidence rises, and you finally feel proud (and ready!) to talk about your offers again.If you're knee-deep in the messy middle, know this: you're not doing it wrong. You're doing it right. What to Expect in This Episode:Why confusion and overwhelm are actually signs of deep strategic workWhat “burn it all down” mode really means (and how to move through it)How visibility and self-trust are connected in your offer strategyThe emotional seasons of refining offers—and why spring always follows winterA gentle reminder that doing it alone makes it harder than it needs to be"The clarity will come, but you have to go through the messy bit first." ::Follow + Connect with Mehttps://www.instagram.com/ceels.lockley/https://www.threads.net/@ceels.lockley ::Free MasterclassLearn more about the different types of offers and map out your offer ecosystem:https://ceelslockley.co/the-line-up::Join my CommunitySign up to my free monthly events for service pros, Sisters of Service:https://ceels-lockley.myflodesk.com/sisters-of-service ::Work with meJoin my group program for service providers who want to design a profitable offer suite over 6 months:https://ceelslockley.co/dreamiumCreate an industry-leading offer ecosystem with me 1:1: https://ceelslockley.co/main-event-experience

Rosie Johnston is the founder of the clean fragrance line By Rosie Jane. Johnston originally trained as a makeup artist and began working in London, then moved to Los Angeles, where she continued to build her skills and clientele. In 2003, she founded Rosie Jane Cosmetics, which offered an ahead-of-its-time multipurpose lip and cheek pot. While the venture didn't last, she realized she had a love and knack for making her own products. She then created her signature scent, wearing it to shoots, hoping that it would make her memorable to clients and help her to book more jobs. But when clients and friends began asking to purchase the scent, something clicked. She began producing larger quantities, and soon after, By Rosie Jane was born. Since launching in 2010, By Rosie Jane has expanded from one scent to seven. It's also formulated perfumes, perfume oils, and a suite of bodycare products. The brand is consistently one of Sephora's top-selling fragrance brands, and last year reached $10 million in revenue, making it one of the most recognizable clean fragrance brands on the market today.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ariana Ferwerda and Kiley McKinnon are the co-founders of the women's ski and activewear brand Halfdays. McKinnon is a former freestyle aerial skier who competed at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, and Ariana holds degrees in marketing and marketing research from Michigan State University. Despite their different professional backgrounds, when the two met in Denver in 2019, they commiserated over the lack of stylish, mid-range ski apparel options for women. They felt they could do better, and less than a year later, they launched Halfdays, a line of sleek women's skiwear made from nearly 100% recycled materials. Though it was originally a direct-to-consumer company, today, its products are sold in retailers like Nordstrom and Dick's Sporting Goods. The brand has also expanded into hiking gear, athleisure, and more. Last year, it saw 86% year-on-year growth and triple-digit wholesale growth.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
