In this episode, Laurie Hartwell sits down with Amber — a bride from one of Laurie's weddings she planned back in 2004 — to ask a question most couples never think about until much later: what do you actually remember?Before Pinterest, Instagram, and TikTok told brides what they were supposed to want, wedding planning depended on trust, clear choices, and the right vendor team. Amber's answer is refreshingly honest. The tiny details people obsess over? Not what stuck. What stayed was the feeling of being calm, cared for, and completely present.Amber wanted a "kick-a** party" — great music, nonstop dancing, and a reception that felt effortless. What Laurie delivered was something deeper: blind trust. The kind where the couple never has to carry the stress because someone qualified is already handling it.They cover the DJ moment Amber's friends still bring up decades later, the bar cap decision that kept the party alive, and what it really means to lead with quiet confidence instead of ego.For wedding planners, Laurie breaks down why attracting your ideal couple starts with intentional messaging, how certification protects the couple's investment, timeline, and emotions, and why unqualified advice is one of the biggest threats to this industry.If you are wanting to create a lasting legacy years later, and if you are interested in building your wedding planning business the right way — this one is worth your time.

Why are women still dramatically underrepresented in leadership positions despite earning the majority of college degrees and making up half the workforce? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Gloria Feldt, visionary leadership strategist, bestselling author, and co-founder of Take The Lead. Drawing on decades of experience, including serving as national president of Planned Parenthood and building leadership development programs for women, Gloria explains why the issue is not a lack of ambition but a deeper challenge around women's relationship with power and money. This episode is a must-listen for women leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals who want to expand their impact, influence, and ability to create meaningful change.   What You Will Learn: How Gloria Felt's early life experiences shaped her passion for gender equality and leadership. What the real barriers to gender parity in leadership are and why ambition is not the issue. How women can redefine power as a creative force rather than something oppressive. Why women's relationship with money and power plays a critical role in leadership advancement. How strong networks and relationships create opportunities, funding, and career growth. What leadership power tools women can use to move into positions of influence. Why thinking bigger about business and impact can help accelerate women into leadership roles.   FAQ: Why has gender parity in leadership still not been achieved? Despite women making up roughly half of the workforce and earning the majority of college degrees, systemic cultural conditioning and structural barriers still limit women's access to leadership roles. Gloria Felt explains that the issue is not ambition but the way power and leadership have historically been defined and rewarded.   What does Gloria Felt mean by redefining power? Gloria teaches that power should not be viewed as "power over others," but as energy that can be used to create, build, and improve lives. When women shift their mindset to see power as a positive and generative force, they become more willing to pursue leadership roles.   How can women build businesses that create larger impact? Gloria encourages women to think bigger when starting businesses and to design companies that create meaningful impact in people's lives. Building organizations that solve large problems attracts investment, attention, and opportunities for scale. Connect with Gloria FeldtTake the Lead Women Connect with Anjel B.

What is trauma-informed leadership, and why does it matter in today's workplace? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Dr. Melanie Gray shares how trauma-informed care transforms leadership, strengthens workplace culture, and prevents burnout before it derails careers. Drawing from over 25 years in healthcare, higher education, and corporate leadership, Dr. Gray explains how trauma shapes behavior, how generational stress impacts performance, and why confidence is built through intentional self-leadership. If you are a high-achieving woman considering leaving corporate, building a consulting business, or leading teams through change, this episode delivers practical wisdom on resilience, emotional safety, confidence, and long-term leadership sustainability.   What You Will Learn: How trauma-informed leadership shifts workplace culture by asking what happened to someone rather than what is wrong with them. What generational trauma and adverse childhood experiences mean for confidence, communication, and leadership development. How unresolved trauma contributes to burnout, anxiety, and disengagement in corporate environments. What practical steps leaders can take to build emotionally safe and resilient teams. How to assess personal skills and strategically prepare for a transition from corporate to entrepreneurship. What confidence truly looks like when it is built through preparation, data, and intentional action rather than perfectionism. How planning financial runway reduces anxiety when launching a consulting business. What separates sustainable business growth from temporary virality and surface-level success. How structured coaching with defined goals creates measurable transformation instead of dependency. What it takes to lead with compassion while still holding high standards for performance and accountability.   FAQ: What is trauma-informed leadership? Trauma-informed leadership is a framework that considers how past experiences, including adverse childhood experiences and generational stress, influence present behavior, communication, and performance in the workplace.   How does trauma affect workplace performance? Trauma can impact confidence, emotional regulation, communication patterns, and stress responses, which may show up as withdrawal, defensiveness, burnout, or disengagement. How do I confidently leave corporate to start a consulting business? Confidence increases when leaders assess their skills, create a financial runway, build required competencies in advance, and transition with a structured plan rather than reacting to anxiety or corporate restructuring.   Connect with Dr. Melanie GrayWebsite Connect with Anjel B.

What happens when trust, relationships, and opportunity come together? In this episode of Inside Source, host Mary Straton Smith sits down with Hartwell Furr and Brenley Rinuado, co-founders of the Hartwell Collective, to discuss how the seasonal Nanny Network evolved into a people-first staffing partner creating real career pathways for young women. From grassroots beginnings to long-term community building, this conversation highlights the power of relationships, integrity, and saying yes before you have it all figured out.  

What happens after the baby arrives, and why has that conversation been missing for generations? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Aanchal Dasoar Arora, women's health innovator, pelvic floor physical therapist, and founder of Mendhai Health, shares how postpartum depression, pelvic floor dysfunction, and an identity crisis after motherhood led her to leave a high-level corporate healthcare career and build a digital maternal recovery platform born out of MIT. If you are a leader navigating identity shifts, a healthcare innovator, or a woman seeking support after pregnancy, this episode delivers both validation and visionary solutions.

How discipline and structure sustain founders through the emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship. What it means to choose expansion over shrinking in motherhood and leadership.   FAQ: Why is postpartum recovery not discussed as openly as pregnancy? Cultural norms have historically centered pregnancy preparation while minimizing postpartum physical and emotional recovery, leaving many women unsupported after delivery.   How long are wait times for pelvic floor physical therapy in the United States? In many hospital systems, wait times can extend up to a year due to clinician shortages and limited access to specialized care.   How can digital health platforms improve maternal recovery outcomes? Digital platforms increase access, provide education across the entire maternal journey, extend clinician support, and reduce barriers related to geography, childcare, and scheduling.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA MENORES 2026“HEROES Y VILLANOS”Narrado por: Tatania DanielaDesde: Juliaca, PerúUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church14 de FebreroEl héroe buscador del anillo«O bien, ¿qué mujer que tiene diez monedas y pierde una de ellas, no enciende una lámpara y barre la casa buscando con cuidado hasta encontrarla?» (Lucas 15: 8).Hoy, que es el día del amor y la amistad, contaré esta historia. David y Lisa Allen se casaron en 1990 después de una relación como «novios de la universidad». Ocho años más tarde, Lisa solicitó el divorcio debido a los problemas de David con el alcohol. Al año siguiente, mientras David estaba en rehabilitación, perdió el anillo mientras estaba sentado en un muelle que era propiedad de su hermano en el lago Hartwell, Carolina del Sur, Estados Unidos.David dijo que el anillo se le resbaló del dedo, «rebotó en la madera del muelle y cayó al agua». En ese momento, la pérdida del anillo no significó mucho porque estaban en proceso de divorcio. Pero la pareja se reencontró y arreglaron sus diferencias. Rememorando el anillo perdido 25 años antes, decidieron contratar a un equipo, los buzos del lago Hartwell, para encontrarlo.«Esto significaba mucho para él y su familia», dijo Jeremy Robinson, propietario de los Lake Hartwell Divers. «Para nosotros significó mucho ayudarlos a recuperarlo».Robinson compartió la experiencia en la página de Facebook de los Lake Hartwell Divers. En su biografía, afirman que su misión es «proporcionar servicios de búsqueda y rescate profesionales, hábiles, eficientes y efectivos». Los buzos estuvieron buscando en el fondo del lago con sus equipos de resonancia, y cada señal emitida por los aparatos alentaba la esperanza de hallar el anillo. Finalmente, cuatro días después, el anillo fue encontrado.Lisa respondió a una de las publicaciones, expresando su gratitud al equipo: «Jeremy, fuiste increíble y tu duro esfuerzo está más allá de lo que podríamos haber imaginado. Muchas gracias por encontrar nuestro anillo».La Biblia nos cuenta la historia de una mujer que había perdido una moneda que seguramente era parte de la dote que recibió al casarse. Perderla era una calamidad, aunque le quedaran nueve monedas en su poder. Buscó con diligencia, barrió la casa y consumió el aceite de la lámpara hasta que la encontró. Con esa misma diligencia, Dios busca al ser humano perdido en el pecado y lo restaura.Pero el buscador del anillo también es el propio ser humano. David Allen se dedicó a la búsqueda del anillo cuando se dio cuenta de lo que significaba para su matrimonio. Cuando algo nos interesa, lo buscamos hasta encontrarlo. ¿Qué hemos perdido en nuestra vida que necesitamos buscar con diligencia? ¿Sed de leer la Biblia? ¿Seriedad por los estudios? ¿Cooperación en casa? Lo que sea, busquémoslo y lo hallaremos.

What if the reason you're exhausted, overworked, and questioning your worth at work has nothing to do with your talent and everything to do with a game no one ever taught you how to play? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Robin Goad, a senior technology executive at Amazon Web Services, speaker, and author, to unpack how childhood trauma, perfectionism, and unspoken corporate rules shape the careers of high-achieving women.

Hartwell welcomes Amber Romaniuk, an emotional eating, digestive, and hormone expert with 12+ years of experience.

What if the "perfect life" is actually the most convincing hiding place for emptiness? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Sylvia Resnick, a fulfillment and purpose coach for high-achieving women. Sylvia shares how a lifelong ache for connection shaped her drive to achieve. The conversation also goes deeper into the tension between honoring cultural traditions and evolving practices that harm women, including the urgent reality of female genital mutilation and how Sylvia's organization, Empower Her, is working from within community partnership to create change through education, support, and empowerment.   What You Will Learn: Why "looking successful" can coexist with feeling emotionally empty.

"We wake up every morning as a soul in a human body. That alone should be so incredibly fascinating to us." What if the hardest things you've lived through weren't punishments, but assignments your soul chose to help you grow? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, host Anjel B. Hartwell welcomes Steffani LeFevour, modern-day soul strategist and author of You Are a Badass Mom and the forthcoming book Soul Assignments. Stteffani shares how childhood trauma, an alcoholic father, and the tragic loss of her sister cracked her open to a lifelong search for spiritual truth.   What You Will Learn: The impact of childhood trauma and grief on emotional development and identity. How growing up with an alcoholic parent shapes beliefs, coping mechanisms and adulthood patterns. Why families often end up on "grief islands" when they lack tools, language or support to process loss. How early exposure to death can spark a lifelong search for meaning, spirituality and healing. The role spiritual teachers and books can play in offering language and comfort when religion wasn't present at home. How alcohol can become an unconscious way to avoid feelings, fit in socially, or suppress unresolved pain. What it looks like to break generational chains of addiction through awareness, boundaries and intentional behavior. How to examine your own relationship with alcohol and shift from unconscious use to empowered choice. The importance of creating an alcohol-free "safe house" environment for teens and modeling a different norm. The concept of soul assignments and how reframing painful experiences can move someone out of victimhood. Why radical acceptance of past experiences becomes the foundation for emotional freedom and conscious creation. How thoughts, words, feelings, beliefs and stories function as "power tools" that shape every experience. The difference between using those power tools unconsciously vs. consciously. How to identify outdated stories and rewrite them into truer, more empowering narratives. The process of finding gifts inside even the most difficult events and how that transforms inner resilience. The value of viewing life from a soul-level perspective rather than only through a human-level lens. The path from learning spiritual principles to embodying them, teaching them and serving others with them. How a long-held dream can manifest through clarity, courage and consistent sharing of one's message. Why owning your unique perspective allows your voice, work and mission to expand in powerful new ways.   Connect with Steffani LeFevour Coach with Steph Connect with Anjel B.
