Podcasts about female founders

In this inspiring conversation, Cinthia Pacheco speaks with Valerie Priester, CEO and Founder of Victorious Life Coaching, about the inner work behind lasting business success. They explore what confidence really looks like for women entrepreneurs, why fear can actually be a good sign, and how journaling, meditation, and self-trust can transform the way you show up as a leader. Valerie shares her personal journey from self-doubt to empowered action, reminding us that confidence isn't something you're born with—it's something you build through courageous, aligned decisions. Key Takeaways Confidence is a muscle—you strengthen it every time you take action despite fear. Fear often signals growth. If it feels uncomfortable, you're probably on the right path. Internal work matters as much as strategy. Entrepreneurship is a personal development journey first. Journaling and meditation help you quiet the noise, reconnect with your intuition, and lead with clarity. Alignment over imitation: True confidence comes from showing up as yourself, not copying others. Women leaders bring empathy and impact—owning that power creates ripple effects in communities.    Topics Covered The real connection between confidence and action How fear can become a compass for growth Navigating self-doubt and imposter syndrome Emotional leadership for women founders Why self-awareness is essential for sustainable success Practical tools to strengthen confidence daily   Favorite Quotes “Confidence only comes when you take action. If you never take action, you can't build confidence.” – Valerie Priester “If you're feeling fear, you're probably headed in the right direction.” – Valerie Priester “Entrepreneurship is more about developing you than developing a business.” – Valerie Priester   Valerie's Bio: Valerie Priester, Mindset & Strategy Catalyst Valerie Priester equips high-achieving women entrepreneurs, those seasoned founders who've hit a plateau yet feel the pull of “something bigger” to trade lingering self-doubt for crystal-clear direction and strategic momentum.   As Founder of Victorious Life Coaching LLC, Valerie fuses deep mindset mastery with practical, values-aligned business strategy so her clients don't just dream about next- level growth, they execute it with confidence and consistency. Drawing on her own journey of resilience and years in coaching, she offers a proven framework that helps women clarify bold goals, map profitable growth plans, and take decisive action.   Valerie is a Certified Master Business Mindset Coach, Sacred Money Archetype™ Coach, Money Breakthrough™ Business Coach, Les Brown Coach-Trainer-Speaker, Christian Life Coach, international best-selling author, and motivational speaker.   Her mission is simple: empower ambitious women to play a bigger game, amplify their impact, and design their victory turning purposeful vision into sustainable success and genuine fulfillment.   Connect with Valerie Priester Here's the link to my free Break Through Your Confidence Plateau Guide: https://go.valeriepriester.com/break-through-your-confidence-plateau/ Website: valeriepriester.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriepriester/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ValeriePriesterVLC IG:@ vpriester Connect with Cinthia Pacheco & Digital Bloom IQ Website: digitalbloomiq.com Instagram: @digitalbloomiq Join the newsletter In Full Bloom for SEO insights and calm business growth.   Voice Over, Mixing and Mastering Credits: L.

Melissa Morris is the founder of Métier, an innovative luxury handbag brand well-revered for its commitment to combining fashion and function. Before starting her own luxury brand, Morris had worked in merchandising and design for some of the biggest names in luxury, including Helmut Lang, Armani, Belstaff, and LVMH. But in all her years working for brands, she noticed a lack of bags that actually served the wearer. Métier was born from Morris's vision for accessories that were both elegant and practical. She dreamed of a line that offered customers the perfect bag for any occasion with a seasonless and timeless aesthetic. Despite having never designed a handbag in her life, she used her degree in sculpture and her career in merchandising to engineer the bags of her dreams with her customers in mind. Métier took off after its founding in 2017, garnering a cult following, and the bags have even been spotted in award-winning Hollywood productions like Succession and The White Lotus. It's also secured major celebrity endorsements, earning praise from stars like Nicole Kidman, who has been seen wearing them both on and off screen. Morris continues to prove her commitment to her customers today as Métier develops new bespoke options for its loyal devotees.

From poet to paper artist and conscious entrepreneur, Janna Willoughby-Lohr shares how she built a purpose-driven company that proves creativity and sustainability can spark community, connection, and real economic change.Janna is the founder and lead artist of Papercraft Miracles, an eco-friendly handmade paper art studio in Buffalo, New York, creating everything from plantable seed paper to realistic paper flowers for clients like Lionel Richie, Lowe's, Pinterest, and Capital One. Named a Top 10 NAWBO Woman Business Owner of the Year and featured on discovery+'s Meet Your Makers Showdown, Janna has carved out a powerful space in the art and business world by choosing impact over unchecked growth.Her journey began with financial limitations that led her to Warren Wilson College, where she unexpectedly discovered the book arts department and experienced a spiritual awakening through papermaking. When traditional programs failed to support her vision, she built her own major, combining business, creative arts, and social work, at just nineteen years old. That innovative mindset taught her early on that artists don't just need technical skill, they need communication, confidence, and courage to own their voice.In our conversation, Janna dismantles the myth that artists can't thrive financially and challenges the toxic “fempreneur” culture selling unrealistic success. Instead, she offers a framework of conscious entrepreneurship grounded in sustainability, community, and stakeholder-focused models like B Corps. She shares practical insights on scaling with intention, overcoming imposter syndrome, and designing businesses that honor both people and the planet.We also dive into authenticity in leadership, the evolution of women's roles in business, and the rising demand for connection in a digital age. Janna's work proves that handmade, meaningful experiences can combat isolation and rebuild community, and that women entrepreneurs are uniquely positioned to lead this shift. This episode is an inspiring reminder that your creativity, your voice, and your vision matter more than perfection.Tune in to hear how Janna is redefining success and lighting the path for purpose-driven founders everywhere.Chapters

Jenee Naylor is the personality behind the beloved luxury fashion blog HighLowLuxxe and the founder of 12PM Studios. Before she became a full-time content creator, she held leadership roles at Target. She stayed at the chain for eight years as a general manager and store director, building up her people management skills, with the goal of one day becoming CEO. But she also found joy in running HighLowLuxxe on the side, posting fashion content on her days off and interacting with her growing audience. After feeling like her growth had been stunted at her day job, Naylor left Target to run her blog full-time. Her continued authenticity and dedication to her platform have made her a fashion authority and a dream partner for brands. She even had a full-circle moment being invited back to Target—only this time, she was launching her own fashion line. Now, after years of establishing herself in the luxury fashion industry, Naylor decided to launch her own luxury eyewear brand, 12PM Studios.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

But after years of seeing the same patterns repeat—sky-high markups, confusing claims, and a lack of true transparency—she decided to build something different. Alongside her co-founder Jen Shane, Alisa created INNBeauty Project: a brand that delivers clinically effective, clean skincare without the luxury price tag.Vegan, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free, iNNBEAUTY was designed to be as inclusive as it is high-performance—bridging the gap between clean formulas and results-driven science.

Send us a textYou built your business for freedom. But if you're the one everyone turns to when the school calls, the groceries are forgotten, or the cat's sick, that “freedom” can disappear fast. Being the flexible one feels like strength. But over time, it becomes an expectation — and the cost is your focus, your energy, and your growth.In this episode, I share the moment that made me realize bending for everyone else isn't a badge of honour. It's leadership fatigue in disguise. And more importantly — what to do about it.Episode Highlights:

Moms, Startups, and Holy GritWhat if a $5 coffee and a little confetti could change a mother's day? We sit with founder and mom of four, Rachel Frosch, to unpack how a hand‑stitched idea became Mom Badge—a simple, beautiful way to see, support, and celebrate moms right when it matters. Rachel traces the journey from education and professional development to the startup world, revealing how her knack for championing teachers now fuels a platform built to honor the invisible work of motherhood. You'll hear how fabric badges turned digital, why beauty makes care feel real, and how small, timely gestures—paired with gift cards and video messages—become lifelines during the hardest weeks.This conversation goes beyond product into the marrow of building: faith as the practice of taking the next step, the “manna in the desert” seasons, and the very real tech hurdles of shipping, bugs, and platform changes while bootstrapping. We talk Twin Cities Startup Week, ILT Academy, and the Empower Her community that's creating honest, non‑competitive spaces for female founders. Rachel shares advice on problem–solution fit, The Mom Test, and guarding your early vision from advice overload. She also gets candid about identity, the line between Founder‑You and Real‑You, and the kind of self‑care that actually refuels—morning runs, planned joy, and presence with family.If you've ever felt the tension between calling and capacity, motherhood and metrics, this story will meet you where you are. Expect practical insights for entrepreneurs, tender reframes for parents, and a nudge to send that tiny kindness today.

In 2013, Gregg Renfrew founded Beautycounter—the beauty brand that pioneered what we know today as the clean beauty movement. The brand gained a well-respected reputation for its commitment to using safe ingredients in its products and for refusing to include any formulas that contained questionable or harmful chemicals. Renfrew's commitment to customer health and her advocacy for cosmetic regulation set her apart from her competitors at a time when clean beauty was just an idea, not an entire industry. She last joined us in 2019, before the company's sale to a private equity firm in a deal that valued the brand at $1 billion. Since then, she's had to make several pivots—from being asked to step down as CEO to leaving her own company to watching it go into foreclosure. Her latest pivot has involved starting a new company with the same commitment to clean beauty called Counter, and she's back to tell us all about the new venture.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With a career spanning clinical practice, software development and AI integration, Kirsten brings a fresh, deeply personal perspective to the future of women's healthIn this episode, we explore the root causes of infertility and why simply timing intercourse isn't enough. Kirsten breaks down the concept of the “Conceivable Cycle,” how subclinical symptoms reveal deeper fertility issues, and why most women are misled by generic wellness advice. She also shares the story behind building an AI-powered virtual care platform, one designed not to replace doctors, but to give millions of women access to tools that previously cost tens of thousands in clinical care.We also talk about IVF, when it should be used, and how even women in their 40s can significantly boost fertility outcomes by improving internal health metrics.

From aspiring fine artist to co-founding a groundbreaking media company and advising Fortune 500s, Cynthia Nelson's journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and relentless curiosity. With more than 25 years leading at the intersection of capital, innovation, and culture, Cynthia has proven herself a powerhouse in entrepreneurship and growth strategy.Her story begins in the unlikeliest of places: a receptionist desk at a computer repair shop in the mid-80s. From there, she witnessed the tech industry's birth, climbed the ranks at Ingram Micro, and navigated the turbulence of early startups, including a devastating betrayal by a business partner. But rather than stepping back, she leaned into every challenge, becoming one of the few Latina women to raise $15 million in private equity and ultimately selling her company Todobebé after a decade of pioneering media, parenting content, and cultural storytelling.Cynthia shares the pivotal lessons that fueled her success, from the importance of listening deeply to your customers, to the courage of saying “yes” to unfamiliar challenges, to the discipline of surrounding yourself with advisors who tell you the hard truths. She reminds us that entrepreneurship is not just about scaling fast, but about staying grounded in what people actually need, not just what founders imagine.Her reflections stretch beyond business into the deeper realities of being a woman in leadership: the sacrifices, the biases, and the double standards that continue to shape the funding landscape. Yet Cynthia's approach is one of fierce generosity, mentoring other women, championing female investors, and encouraging founders to build smarter, more sustainable businesses.This is a story of grit, creativity, and impact, and a masterclass in building with purpose. Tune in to hear Cynthia Nelson's remarkable journey and her wisdom for the next generation of women entrepreneurs.Chapters

If you're tired of spending every Monday scrambling to create content for the week or feeling like you're constantly behind on your marketing, this episode will completely transform how you approach content creation. Today I'm sharing my Marketing Marathon framework, which allows me to create an entire month's worth of content across 6 different platforms in just 3 focused days. Batching content is a way of working smarter, not harder and it doesn't need to be exhausting.  I used to do content creation weekly, dedicating every Monday to marketing, and while it worked for a while, I started hitting roadblocks when I wanted to get more creative or when I had travel or time off. Instead of forcing a system that wasn't working, I analyzed what was actually causing the bottlenecks and created a solution that fits my current season of business. The key to this framework is preparation. I never show up to ideate during my Marketing Marathon. I come with content topics already collected throughout the month, a calendar strategy for Instagram, custom templates from my Sales Studio team, and a clear plan for what gets done on which day. This allows me to focus purely on execution, which is why I can record five podcast episodes back-to-back without breaking a sweat. I'm breaking down the exact 3-day structure: Day 1 for video and audio recording (highest energy), Day 2 for Instagram content creation (medium energy), and Day 3 for writing and scheduling (lowest energy). Plus, I'm sharing all the prep work that makes this possible and why separating ideation from creation is absolutely crucial. In today's episode, we're talking about: Why weekly content creation was burning me out  The 3-day Marketing Marathon structure  The preparation that makes this framework possible  Why ideation and execution must be separated  How custom templates and delegation through Sales Studio makes the design process seamless and fast Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!

Diarrha N'Diaye is the founder and CEO of Ami Colé—the beloved beauty brand known for its dedication to celebrating melanin-rich skin. N'Diaye first stepped into the beauty industry by working in social media marketing. She became a go-to expert in digital content management, lending her expertise to brands across fashion, beauty, and editorial sectors. She then transitioned into product development when she was recruited to work at Glossier during its heyday. By the time N'Diaye conceived the idea for her own brand, which would focus on darker skin, she knew exactly what it took to create a product and market it effectively. Her years of experience in every step of that process prepared her to launch Ami Colé in 2019. After growing a loyal community and winning over 80 awards for her products, she made the difficult decision to shut down her brand earlier this year. Her announcement prompted an outpouring of grief from the people who saw themselves in Ami Colé. But now, N'Diaye's more than ready for whatever her new chapter holds after building a hugely successful company from scratch.

Jennifer Anderson is the founder of Kids Eat in Color, a platform dedicated to providing families with the resources they need to feed their children nutritious foods and build healthy eating habits. Anderson's passion for nutrition started during her time working in the nonprofit space, leading after-school snack programs. Her experience inspired her to go back to school and study the science of nutrition. After earning her master's degree in public health and becoming a registered dietician, she went on to lend her expertise to various nutritional education programs, including the USDA's SNAP-Ed program, an initiative aimed at providing nutritional resources to low-income families nationwide. But even with all of her experience working as an expert in the field, Anderson struggled to feed her children. She started documenting the meals she'd make for her kids on Instagram, sharing her strategies for how to get them to eat different food groups with other parents who might be struggling to feed their picky eaters. Today, Kids Eat in Color has grown from a small Instagram page to a platform with 2 million followers, has expanded offerings to include recipes, educational courses for parents, and meal plans, and works to support food justice initiatives offline.

Why can you trust yourself to build a multimillion-dollar company—but not to have one hard conversation? In this episode, Kris pulls back the curtain on the anatomy of self-trust. From visionary ideas to money, health, relationships, and leadership, she reveals why so many women compartmentalize their confidence—rock solid in some domains, shaky in others. You'll hear how past experiences, identity “totems,” and cultural conditioning quietly erode our confidence, and why fear, vulnerability, and inherited stories often dictate where we doubt ourselves most. More importantly, Kris shows you how to begin repairing that trust—through awareness, reframing, and practice—so you can finally stop second-guessing and start standing fully in the leader you already are. Here's what we explore in this episode: The surprising gap between visionary trust and day-to-day confidence The different domains of self-trust—and where women most often stumble How identity, environment, and old narratives shape what you believe about yourself Why it feels safer to trust money or process than people or intuition Practical ways to build competence and leverage your strengths to close the gaps This episode calls you to stop treating self-trust like a mystery and start treating it like a skill.

Sarah O'Leary is the CEO of Willow Innovations, the inventors of the first wearable breast pump. She began her career as a consultant for private equity clients, learning firsthand how businesses make big decisions and developing her problem-solving skills. She then made the switch from advising companies to helping run them when she went to work for a client. O'Leary transitioned into brand development and growth in the e-commerce and retail space at companies of all sizes, refining her skills. Willow Innovations reached out to her to recruit her shortly after she became a mom. The offer came while she was navigating postpartum life and reconsidering how she wanted to invest her time. She accepted Willow's offer because she believed in the company's commitment to showing up for moms like her. O'Leary joined as the company's vice president of growth, helping expand Willow's product offerings and its identity as a brand that supports moms beyond breast pumps. The results she drove and her years of experience made her the perfect candidate for the role of CEO when the time came to select a new one.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
