This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Sue Pellegrino. The two talk about the bold journey of acquiring and leading Everest Discovery, the critical importance of compassionate leadership in the high-stress world of eDiscovery and litigation support, and how building a strong, values-driven team has helped grow and sustain the business. In this episode, we discuss: How Sue Pellegrino transitioned from restoring classic cars and a background in accounting/business administration to leading a company in the eDiscovery field. What she changed as a leader: creating a company that values work-life balance, cross-training, and multiple people who can do the same task so the team can support one another and step away when needed. When Sue Pellegrino took over Everest Discovery, the initial challenges of entering a new, technology-driven industry. Why compassion, open-door leadership, and work-life balance are essential values Sue Pellegrino wanted to instill in her company's culture. How she leads with an open-door mindset in a fully remote environment, making herself accessible by Teams, text, phone, and calendar, and building a culture where people feel safe bringing both work and personal concerns to the table. Sue Pellegrino, Owner, President, and CFO, Everest Discovery From restoring classic cars to serving as an accounting executive and entrepreneur in eDiscovery, Sue Pellegrino has challenged the status quo around what a woman leader can be her whole life. Sue has spent her career managing organizations' finances, ranging from publicly traded companies to regional enterprises and small businesses. Now, she runs Everest Discovery, taking the business to new heights. The humble beginnings in the mailroom at Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, began Sue Pellegrino's journey to the top, which is a testament to her determination and work ethic. She steadily climbed the corporate ladder, eventually becoming an Accounts Payable Supervisor overseeing all vendors' accounts. Her career then led her to the role of CFO at Copy Secure, a regional paper and eDiscovery solutions company. Here, she led the accounting, human resources, investor relations, and tax departments, playing a pivotal role in growing the company to seven-figure revenues before its acquisition by KLDiscovery. With over 25 years of experience in accounting and business administration, and a decade in eDiscovery, Sue Pellegrino is a seasoned leader. She now leads a dedicated team of litigation support specialists at Everest Discovery, ensuring the company provides the highest quality and most cost-effective solutions to its clients. Under her guidance, Everest's revenue has soared by 42%, and its reach has expanded across the country and even South America. As a female business owner, Sue is a diversity, equity, and inclusion champion, proud to devote her time and resources to organizations that advocate for marginalized and underrepresented groups. She is the Director of the Philadelphia Chapter of Women in eDiscovery, serves on the Philadelphia Regional Steering Committee of Women Owned Law as well as Chairing the Membership and Marketing Committees and VP of the Executive Board, and is an active member of the National Association of Women Business Owners' Philadelphia Chapter. In addition, for 10+ years, Sue has been a vocal fundraiser and volunteer for Camp Achieve, a summer camp for youth with epilepsy. Sue is also a classic car enthusiast who learned to work on cars with her dad from a young age. She recently rebuilt a custom 1966 Fastback Mustang, an accomplishment that resulted in first-place trophies at car shows and was featured in MotorTrend magazine. In recognition of her outstanding achievements, Sue was honored as a 2024 Enterprising Women of the Year, Corporate Counsel Business Journal (CCBJ) 2024 50 Women to Watch, 2025 Class of Top 100 Women to KNOW in America and Philadelphia Business Journal's 2025 Corporate Leadership Award Honoree. She recently was recognized with the Charley and Peggy Roach Founders' Award by the Epilepsy Foundation Eastern Pennsylvania and received the Distinguished Member Service Award from Women Owned Law. And, of course, her bulldog Louie is never far from her side. Website: https://everestdiscovery.com/ Social Media Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suepellegrino/

This very special episode is our first EVER live video recording with an audience of Woman Alive readers, writers, friends and friends of the podcast! Today's conversation on The Sisterhood, is inspired by International Women's Day. We live in a culture which seemingly takes any opportunity to pit women against each other. In the Bible, we have examples like Rachel and Leah competing for Jacob's affection – representing the complexity of the relationships we have with other women. Our host, Tola-Doll Fisher and her guests ask, how do we shift from high school mean girl culture, to women supporting women – at church, at work – even on the school run? And what happens when we respond to Jesus' prayer for unity (Luke 17) and intentionally curate safe spaces for women? Hannah Stephenson-Kelly is an ordinand in the Church of England. Her article for Woman Alive is the inspiration for the discussion we're having today. Read it here: https://www.womanalive.co.uk/opinion/sisterhood-is-not-just-a-label-that-ties-together-a-group-of-women-in-a-90s-sitcom/17330.article Alisa Latty-Alleyne is a leader in Christian media and has recently moved on from her role as National Director of The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) in UK and Ireland.

Jill's new book is called Held in God's Gaze (SPCK) and aims to help readers discover the wisdom, prayer, and spiritual insight of saints and mystics across Christian history. The live audience Q&A questions in this episode were: 1. Has Jesus also redeemed the desire to be “liked” that Jill referred to after the fall? And if yes, how do we live in the redeemed state? 2. Meanness can be rooted in anxiety and comparison. Do you think this is more of a challenge in the digital, social media age that girls and women exist in today? 3. How does the Gospel help us understand sisterhood as part of God's design as opposed to just a social construct? 4. What would you say to women who have experienced heartbreak from sisterhood and are afraid to establish new sisterhoods? 5. Do you think that sometimes we can have unrealistic expectations of each other as women and the capacity that we have to help uphold others? 6. Have any of you had to deal with betrayal by a sister, and if yes, how did you heal from it, or navigate the situation?

Empowering Women in Discipleship: A Call to Action This video emphasizes the vital role of women in discipleship, exploring biblical examples and the importance of support from church communities. The discussion covers practical ways women, both single and married, can engage in disciple-making despite busy lives. Real-life examples and personal stories highlight the essential nature of women's involvement in ministry, offering encouragement and strategies for pastors and church leaders to foster inclusive discipleship environments. Check out Discipleship.org for resources on disciple-making: https://discipleship.org/resources/ Key Takeaways 00:00 Introduction: The Importance of Gender Equality 04:56 Four Key Points on Discipleship 14:11 Challenges in Women's Discipleship 18:07 Men's Role in Supporting Women's Discipleship 26:46 Panel Discussion: Insights on Discipleship 41:56 Empowering Single Moms 52:14 Balancing Discipleship and Busy Lives 01:01:21 Encouragement for the Weary Stay Informed - Get our newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hPViAr See below for a longer description: In this insightful videoo titled "Why Women Should Become Disciple Makers | Trillia Newbell," various speakers converge to elaborate on the importance of women taking active roles in discipleship within the church. The discussion is introduced by Trillia Newbell, who emphasizes gender equality in the mission of disciple-making. The initial conversation covers logistical challenges and underscores the need for family support and good will from one's community. The dialogue transitions, to a penal where Bobby presents an earnest reflection on why women should be heavily involved in disciple-making. For a moment, listeners are asked to visualize a church devoid of women's contributions. This exercise serves to underline the essential roles women have historically played in biblical narratives—from Ruth to Mary, and further extending to modern-day church settings. Trillia Newbell also emphasizes the theological basis for women in discipleship, citing scriptures like Psalm 8 and the Great Commission. She introduces four key points to support her argument that all people, including women, are created to serve. The session continues as she elaborates on how societal constraints and gender wars often hinder women from fulfilling this divine calling. Yet, she reassures that God's design includes women actively participating in disciple-making. Further adding depth to the discussion, other speakers contribute their own experiences and observations. Arriana Rimson, shares her journey emphasizing the importance of having spiritual leaders and mentors who encourage and affirm women's roles in the church. She talks about the significance of creating space for women to use their gifts, drawing on examples from her own life including support from her local church and male colleagues. Other panel speakers recount their challenges and growth as a single mother and highlights the untapped potential within single moms for evangelism and discipleship. Both stress the importance of addressing the practical needs of single mothers as a form of holistic disciple-making. The episode's focus shifts to practical advice, as the speakers provide actionable insights on integrating discipleship into daily routines. For mothers juggling numerous responsibilities, the speakers propose inviting others into their existing activities to foster natural and organic discipling relationships. By sharing personal stories and pragmatic suggestions, they demonstrate that disciple-making can be woven into the fabric of everyday life rather than being perceived as an added burden. Towards the end of the episode, the conversation becomes deeply personal. The speakers open up about the weariness that many—especially women—feel as they strive to fulfill their callings amidst life's demands. They offer encouragement and remind listeners of the grace and help that God provides. They also underscore the importance of communal and familial support in realizing these discipleship missions. In conclusion, the speakers reiterate that every woman, whether single, married, a mother, or a professional, has an intrinsic calling and a special place in the mission of disciple-making. They advocate for church leaders, especially male pastors, to recognize, encourage, and equip women in their congregations, creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for spiritual growth. This episode is a profound call to action, serving as both an inspirational message and a practical guide for women to embrace their roles as disciple-makers. It reassures listeners that by leaning on God's grace, they can overcome societal barriers and fulfill their divine mission within the church. Check out our Blogs: https://discipleship.org/blog/

In this episode of Pleasure In the Pause, host Gabriella Espinosa welcomes menopause yoga pioneer Petra Coveney to explore how ancient yoga practices can ease common menopause symptoms and support your journey through midlife. Discover why stress management is the foundation of menopause wellness, learn breath work techniques that calm anxiety in minutes, and explore the beautiful concept of "Second Spring"—a reframing of post-menopause as a time of reblossoming and renewed vitality.Petra Coveney is the creator of Menopause Yoga™ (2013), a senior yoga teacher, trainer and author of two books on menopause.Her first book ‘Menopause Yoga - a Holistic Guide to Supporting Women on their Menopause Journey,' (2021) accompanies her internationally accredited teachers' training course.

The answers are within you—you just need to breathe, listen, and trust yourself.

In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam sits down with Jessica Dotson, Director of Business Development at Multi Service Fuel Card, Vice Chair of the Women in Trucking Foundation Board, and Chair of the BCS Women in Logistics Events Committee. Jessica's story didn't start in an office—it started at home, supporting her husband on the road as a trucker's wife. That experience gave her a firsthand view of the challenges families face in this industry and set her on a 15+ year journey across operations, sales, and strategy. Today, Jessica is focused on giving back—through her work with the Women in Trucking Foundation and initiatives like the Brittany Traylor Scholarship—all designed to create opportunities and open doors for the next generation of women in transportation.
