Episode Overview:This week's episode is absolutely buzzing — and not just because we're talking bees. Meet Emma: ethical beekeeper, skincare alchemist, and proof that you don't need GCSEs or a conventional path to build something extraordinary. From being a teen mum navigating the stigma, to cold-calling for dodgy kitchen companies (yep, we went there), Emma's journey is anything but beige.She's built a legacy from raw honey and raw grit, and if you've ever thought your life was too messy to build something meaningful — think again. Emma proves that the wildest journeys often make for the sweetest success.Think success looks like a neat CV, a degree, and a 5-year plan?Wrong. Sometimes it looks like telesales in a smoke-filled office, accidental skincare breakthroughs in your kitchen, and bee stings to the face.
This podcast, which is intentionally being dropped on International Women's Day celebrates Women In Technology. I sit down with "Wonder Woman" Toni Robinson founder and CEO of Stilettos & Screwdrivers and author of "She Conquered" and discuss her trajectory to the successful mobile business she has as well as dissect some excerpts from her book "She Conquered". I couldn't start the conversation without asking her if she saw the movie "Hidden Figures" and I couldn't end the conversation without asking her if she's living in purpose.
Tonight's show is the rescheduled show that was cancelled due to technical difficulties. In their book, She Conquered, that Lenise R. Williams, Esq., was able to compile, you will find a collection of ladies who wrote stories about how they overcame adversity, faced their fears, and conquered entrepreneurship. Their stories are of women who have faced disappointment, financial hardships, divorce, being a single parent, lack of support, prison sentences, battles with cancer, and more. They continued to push and achieve their dreams. Their strength? All the things that were meant to deter them only made them stronger. Their stories were written to inspire, educate, and help women rise to shine. Firm believers that women who may think that it's too late or there are too many obstacles to overcome will find strength from their stories, stories about ordinary women, no different from the people that you may know. Their stories explore the lives of women who decided to live outside of the box despite what they were told. These ladies have all faced different obstacles in their hometowns across the United States. Despite their differences, they share several things in common: being passionate, laser-focused, having a strong commitment to build successful businesses, and living a life that they LOVE. Because their stories will ignite a fire in women who are sitting on the sidelines watching others achieve their dreams, you're encouraged to get your copy of She Conquered by visiting www.SheConqueredBook.com/.

Tequila Cousar is a co-author of She Conquered, a collection of stories of women who have overcome adversity, faced their fears, and conquered entrepreneurship. There are stories of women who have faced disappointments, financial hardships, divorce, becoming a single parent, lack of support, prison sentences, battles with cancer, and others. They continued to push and achieve their dreams. All the things that were meant to deter them made them stronger. After battling infertility for years, Tequila miraculously became pregnant. From then, she knew that everyday needed to count, because she and her husband had to leave a legacy to their children. Tequila's story, like the others, is to inspire and educate other women, especially women who think it's too late or there are too many obstacles to overcome can find strength from these stories.
