Podcasts about female leaders

In this episode of Clover, I sit down with Cherie Werner, the force behind Fiesta, the largest community for founders and investors in Austin, and FoundHERs, a dedicated space for women entrepreneurs. Cherie shares her journey from startup life to building Fiesta almost by accident, and how “leading with welcome” has become her guiding principle.We talk about what it really takes to turn a crowded room into genuine connections, why consistency and inclusivity matter, and how women founders can push past the urge to be “perfect” before showing up. Cherie also offers simple conversation starters and follow-up practices you can use to walk into any networking event with more confidence.If you've ever felt intimidated walking into a room full of strangers—or if you're looking for a better way to grow community around your own work—this conversation will give you both inspiration and practical tools.You'll learn:How Fiesta grew into Austin's largest founder–investor communityPractical ways to break the ice beyond “What do you do?”Why consistency and inclusivity fuel stronger communitiesA mindset reset for women founders: show up before it's “perfect”Follow-up strategies that turn quick chats into lasting relationshipsHow to design events and spaces that make people feel truly welcome

Why do so many accomplished women still doubt themselves—even after building extraordinary lives and businesses? Kris continues her Self-Trust & Self-Worth mini-series with a powerful exploration of the programming women inherit from generations before us. She invites us to reflect on the systemic, cultural, and ancestral patterns that quietly shape how women value themselves—and why even the most accomplished female founders still lie awake at night second-guessing their own decisions. From hiding success out of guilt to resisting difficult conversations at work, Kris shows how the paradox of female leadership is never about capability—it's about the stories we've absorbed about what women “should” be. And she challenges us to stop playing small, stop apologizing for what we've built, and start owning the lives we've worked so hard to create. Here's what we explore: Why inherited programming makes self-trust harder for women than men The cultural double standard that shames women for success How female founders get boxed in by guilt, doubt, and “shoulds” The hidden cost of over-functioning and perfectionism Why leadership requires both confidence and compassion This episode is your reminder that you are not broken—and you're not alone. The work ahead isn't about fixing yourself, it's about unlearning what never belonged to you in the first place. Contact Information and Recommended Resources Your journey starts with clarity.

Welcome to a very special live edition of the Women Authors of Achievement Podcast, hosted for the first time in UK, right here at the Amano Hotel Skybar in London, overlooking Covent Garden. My guest today is Nikki Trott, strategist, podcast host and author of her new book Sacred Business. Her story bridges two worlds: the ambitious drive of London's fashion and branding industry, and the expansive, intuitive energy she discovered in Berlin.Nikki started out leading global fashion and lifestyle campaigns, working with big names across London and New York. But at some point, success as she knew it started to feel off. Thats when she made a radical choice, she left it all behind to follow a different kind of calling.In this conversation, we talk about what it means to walk away from conventional success, how Berlin helped her reconnect with her intuition, and why business can, and should, be an expression of who we are at our core.If you're in a moment of transition or simply craving more purpose in your work, hear this episode!Read more about the Women Authors of Achievement (WAA) Podcast via waa.berlin/aboutFollow us on Instagram & find us on LinkedInSubscribe to our newsletter via waa.berlin/newsletter ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Send us a textWhat happens when you're a leader but you've lost your motivation? It's hard to get momentum back when you've taken time off, or things are tough in your business. Suddenly, the challenges of moving your business forward seem insurmountable; what if you stay stuck? What happens to your company? Your family? Seriously though, how do you find your mojo again so you can be the leader you were meant to be? Any ideas? I have a few. If I can get unstuck, you can too. Let's find our mojo together.In this episode, I shareHow to spot “productive hiding” (inbox zero, busywork, perfecting tasks) vs. real restThe two WHYs: why you're stuck (not helpful) vs. why your work matters (the one that moves you)A simple motivation reset: declare it → reconnect to your big WHY → take one tiny, brave action“Future You” tactics for energy: sleep, food, movement, hydration, and support that match your next-level selfFast ways to create upward momentum: micro-steps, accountability, collaboration, celebrating small winsThis episode at a glance:[00:04:41] This conversation is not about go, fight, win, get it done, make it happen, crush it, hustle. It's about clearing the path for yourself when you have big dreams and desires and, for whatever reason, you're not moving. [00:06:29] If you have discovered that you're stuck. It's okay. You're stuck. Good. Now we can do something about it.[00:11:03] It's coming from past history and fear. And it's difficult to create, much less get moving when you're in that head space. You're stuck in the past.[00:15:15]  So just do something.  Taking rapid messy action is what starts the wheels of motivation and momentum turning again for me.Resources and Links:Watch my all-time favorite series, Parks and RecreationMurakami ExhibitIsraelmore AyivorJekyll and HydeDowntown AbbeyWant to increase revenue and impact?

Send us a textIt's tough to get noticed in Hollywood, and today's guest made a career by helping others do just that. She was one of the entertainment industry's most respected and sought-after media and publicity strategists, ran her own talent management firm (B. Company), and now she works with Late Show legend, Stephen Colbert… as president of his production company Spartina. Carrie inspires me and so many other women by being a kind leader in a tough industry, her dedication to her team, and her 1.8 second-response time to text messages. Whether you're just starting out or you've been in business for years, there's something here for you. So grab a cup of tea, buckle up and tune in!In this episode, we discussFinding the confidence to start your own thing in the entertainment industry - TWICE!Handling comparative pressure, facing down obstacles and refusing to apologize for who you are.Balancing high demands on your time while finding time to live a lifeHer genius method to get to inbox zero-ish (I've tried it, it works!)The women that have lifted HER up.This episode at a glance:[08:23] What helped Carrie take off on her own: she wanted to contribute to the choices that her clients were making, not just enhance the work they were already doing. And it just took one client, America Ferrara, to say “I see you as that” to give her the confidence to *be* that.[20:45] The main reason Carrie said YES to running Stephen and Evelyn Colbert's production company, Spartina: If that YES is loud, if something magnetic is pulling you, that's telling.[31:08] Carrie's empowering leadership style: she taps into people's strengths and celebrates the things her team can do that she can't. If you have a team of clones, you won't succeed. [44:05] Carrie was surrounded by strong female role models, starting with her mom, author and speaker Marcia Byalick. She learned from great women in her industry like Kelly Bush Novak, Lesley Dart, Lois Smith, and Pat Kingsley.[58:03] What's on Carrie's Times Square billboard: “There's always a ticket”.

Christy made history as the 35th premier of British Columbia and became the first woman in the province to be elected premier by the people. Though she's stepped away from active politics, she hasn't stepped out of public life.

What does it truly take to build a thriving career in Hollywood? Emmy award-winning actress and producer Karina Michel pulls back the curtain on the entertainment industry in this captivating conversation about resilience, authenticity, and creative evolution.Karina's remarkable journey began far from the bright lights of Hollywood—in a small town in England where, at just three years old, she declared to her parents she wanted to be an actress. Through twists of fate, including being discovered by a photographer at an Ohio mall, she built a career spanning over 100 projects, including appearances in Dexter, Entourage, CSI: New York, and Transformers 2.What makes Karina's story particularly compelling is her ability to evolve with changing circumstances. When a writers' strike halted her acting work, she pivoted to producing at a time when female producers were rare. This transition coincided with motherhood, allowing her the flexibility to remain in entertainment while being present for her children. Beyond acting and producing, she has expanded her creative portfolio as a writer for Rolling Stone and Authority Magazine, as well as the host of her podcast, "Coffee with Karina: Entertainment Unfiltered."Throughout our conversation, Karina shares invaluable wisdom for aspiring entertainment professionals. She emphasizes the critical importance of networking, the need to begin local and build experience, and the power of embracing imperfection rather than waiting for ideal conditions. Her definition of boldness—"not giving in to fear in any way"—serves as both her philosophy and her message to listeners hesitant to pursue their creative dreams.Discover why authenticity remains the cornerstone of creative success and how facing your fears might open doors to worlds you never imagined possible. Whether you're pursuing a career in entertainment or seeking inspiration to take a bold step in any field, Karina's insights offer both practical guidance and motivational fuel to move forward with courage.Resources:Podcast Coffee with KarinaKarina on LinkedInSupport the show When you subscribe to the podcast, you are supporting our work's mission, allowing us to continue highlighting successful women in a variety of careers to inspire others helping pay our wonderful editor, Chris, and helping me in paying our hosting expenses.

Why does Paganism attract so many LGBTQ+ people—and how are queer practitioners reshaping Pagan traditions from within? In this in-depth episode, Dr Angela Puca draws on extensive academic research and ethnographic evidence to explore the powerful intersection of queerness and contemporary Paganism. We'll examine why decentralised structures, ritual flexibility, and the sacralisation of the body make Paganism particularly resonant for queer seekers. From feminist Wicca to trans-inclusive magical circles, and from the mythic play of the Minoan Brotherhood to the controversies surrounding Dianic Witchcraft, this episode uncovers the theological innovations and spiritual practices that queer Pagans are creating. Drawing on scholarship by Sarah Pike, Melissa Wilcox, Robert Wallis, Martin Lepage, Kathryn Rountree, and many others, this lecture explores topics such as gender alchemy, ritual storytelling, queer reinterpretations of myth, and the embodied politics of magical practice. It also problematises the gender polarity model in traditional Wicca and explores how LGBTQ+ practitioners are queering divinity itself. Join us for a critical and compassionate conversation about how Paganism becomes not only a refuge for LGBTQ+ individuals but also a space of radical religious creativity.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Ever wonder why women with impressive careers still fantasize about being rescued? Even successful female executives sometimes harbor this secret hope that someone else will handle the heavy lifting of financial security. Tracy interviews Jessie Gabriel, founder of All Places and champion for women's capital ownership. Jessie is a corporate lawyer turned advocate who's on a mission to change how financial power is distributed. It's not about capability. It's about the stories we tell ourselves about money, power, and who gets to control both. Stop waiting for someone else to build the financial world you want to see. Every dollar you spend is a vote. Every investment decision is a choice about whose vision gets funded. In this episode, Tracy explores: Why less than 1% of $100 trillion is controlled by women How financial insecurity creates adult money shame The hidden patterns behind "proving you're not poor" Why every purchase is a power move How systemic exclusion perpetuates inequality "Don't think I'm poor. Don't think I'm poor. That's what was driving my behavior—even when I was making more money than my parents ever had." ~ Jessie Gabriel

Do you find yourself apologizing for what you don't know rather than confidently showcasing what you do? Tracy sits down with Jodie Kelley, CEO of the Electronic Transactions Association, who brings over 25 years of experience navigating leadership roles in male-dominated industries. As women, we're often conditioned to focus on the boxes we don't tick instead of the ones we do. This unconscious pattern creates invisible barriers that hold us back more effectively than any glass ceiling. In this revealing conversation, Jodie shares how her non-linear career path led to unexpected success and the crucial mindset shifts that separate those who break through from those who stay stuck. Her story proves that following what brings you joy can lead to more fulfillment than following a prescribed path. In this episode, Tracy explores: Why women apologize when men would simply showcase confidence How following your passion creates more authentic career success The unconscious biases affecting how female leaders are perceived Why being "relentlessly confident" is essential for women leaders How internal self-belief trumps external reception "If you are doing your homework, really throwing yourself into your job in a positive way and delivering, that matters. And if you bring with it that confidence in yourself, there is definitely a path. It's not that there is no glass ceiling, but there is a way to get to where you want to be." ~ Jodie Kelley

In this week's episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy explores the transformational power of leadership and what it really means to lead as a well-resourced woman. Kris invites listeners to rethink leadership not as a title or destination, but as a lived experience. Leadership is about taking up space, having a voice, and guiding others toward something greater. “A well-resourced woman knows her leadership voice. She knows what her values are, she knows what her expectations are, she knows what her vision is... She doesn't settle, she doesn't tolerate.” When women understand that leading people is a superpower—not a burden—it opens up a whole new way of being. For the women who find themselves questioning their worth or waiting for permission, this episode is a gentle but firm reminder: you already have what it takes. Leadership lives within you. It's time to trust your inner knowing, own your voice, and lead with intention. If you're ready to claim your space, amplify your influence, and walk boldly in your power, this episode will speak directly to you. Tune in and remember, your leadership changes the world.

Meet Gisele Marcus, a leadership dynamo whose remarkable journey from Harlem to Harvard Business School epitomizes what it means to be bold in pursuing excellence. Growing up in what she affectionately calls "old Harlem," Giselle was raised in a household where excellence wasn't just encouraged—it was required. This foundation propelled her through Syracuse University, into a Harvard MBA program, and ultimately to becoming a TEDx speaker and respected operations executive.What makes Giselle's story particularly powerful is her candid admission about learning the true value of networking at age 39. "I wish someone would have told me earlier that excellence alone doesn't guarantee career advancement," she reflects. After following a sponsor's networking advice during an international assignment, Giselle returned to find not just one job opportunity awaiting her, but eleven. This revelation transformed her understanding of career development and now forms the cornerstone of her guidance to other women.Throughout our conversation, Giselle shares game-changing insights about political astuteness in the workplace, creating a compelling personal brand (hers: "I make organizations hum"), building a career portfolio that showcases your full range of talents, and embracing AI while developing the emotional intelligence that technology can't replicate. For women facing career pivots—whether by choice or circumstance—she offers practical strategies for identifying transferable skills and enlisting friends or coaches to help you see strengths you might miss in yourself.Perhaps most inspiringly, Giselle defines boldness as "taking that extra step when you're questioning yourself," reminding us that for women, there's no such thing as being "too bold." Whether you're just starting your career journey or looking to make your next strategic move, this episode offers both the practical tools and the mindset shifts needed to truly show up and be bolder in all aspects of your professional life.Resources:  www.giselemarcus.comLearn more about AnitaB.org Support the showWhen you subscribe to the podcast, you are supporting our work's mission, allowing us to continue highlighting successful women in a variety of careers to inspire others helping pay our wonderful editor, Chris, and helping me in paying our hosting expenses.
