Podcasts about unlocking creativity

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I'm joined by Amy Shoenthal, bestselling author, journalist, and the mind behind “The Setback Cycle,” a framework for turning life's most difficult moments into launching pads for growth. A seasoned writer for outlets like Forbes and Fast Company, Amy spent years interviewing founders, creatives, and executives, only to realize the one thing they all had in common: a major setback.What started as a “journalism side hustle” to put her ambitious energy somewhere when her job was no longer serving her, became a research-backed journey into what happens when things fall apart and how those moments can lead to reinvention. In this conversation, Amy shares how subtle setbacks, like quietly being sidelined at work after maternity leave, often shape us just as powerfully as the dramatic ones. She breaks down the four phases of the setback cycle, offers actionable steps to help you identify and move through your own, and reminds us that success doesn't always look like a straight line forward.From slingshot neuroscience to slumped ceilings in fashion studios, Amy's insights are a lifeline for anyone sitting in the discomfort of a stalled career, strained relationship, or uncertain next step, unsure if it's an ending or a new beginning. Thank you for listening!

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I'm joined by Tieghan Gerard, founder of the beloved food brand and blog Half Baked Harvest. Powered by homegrown creativity, consistency, and a deep love for beautiful, nourishing food, Tieghan started documenting her recipes and eventually, Half Baked Harvest was born. With four bestselling cookbooks and millions of fans, she's turned persistence into her superpower.But beneath the dreamy food photos is a savvy entrepreneur who's learned how to scale, sustain, and evolve in an ever-changing digital world. From launching products to growing her team, slowly but surely, Tieghan shares the behind-the-scenes challenges of delegation, burnout, and learning to loosen her grip without losing her vision. She's refreshingly honest about the grind, the growth, and the support it takes to build something that lasts.Tieghan's story is a reminder that longevity trumps virality, and that success doesn't require perfection, but persistence. We talk about what inspires her, what drains her, and how she stays original in a sea of food trends and copycats. With a grounded sense of self and a vision rooted in quality over quantity, she proves that you don't need to do it all, just the things that matter most. Whether she's talking about building her email list, battling burnout, or dodging AI content theft, her message is clear: own your work, know your audience, and keep showing up.Thank you for listening!

In this episode of The Creative Genius Podcast, I talk with designer, writer, and thinker Ben Rennie, author of a new book that explores the transformative power of curiosity and creativity. Together, we unpack the dynamic relationship between curiosity, creativity, and confidence, and how this path can guide us to overcome fear and step more fully into our potential. Ben shares his personal story—sparked by a promise to his late mother—that led him to examine how people find themselves in powerful, unexpected places.We explore the idea that creativity isn't limited to the arts but is instead the ability to see things differently, solve problems, and bring ideas to life. Through vivid stories and practical wisdom, Ben and I explore how curiosity is the antidote to fear, how creativity naturally flows from curiosity, and how confidence is built by simply beginning—and continuing—to create.From imposter syndrome at a Dolce & Gabbana event to finding inspiration in nature, this conversation is a powerful invitation to get curious, stay creative, and be kind to yourself in the process.Topics Covered:How curiosity dissolves fearWhy creativity is about seeing possibilities, not just making artReframing repetition: why doing what's been done before is still meaningfulHow creative confidence is earned through actionThe role of environment and nature in creative flow Navigating imposter syndromeand Honouring your pathResources & Mentions: Ben Rennie's new book Ben's “Wednesdays” blog on Medium Brene Brown Steve Jobs: “You can't connect the dots looking forward…” Meredith Hite-Estevez: “Join a song already singing” Rick Rubin: on creativity and remixing existing ideasTakeaways / Call to Action:Follow your curiosity—it's the best antidote to fear Just start, even if it's been done before—your voice mattersPractice regularly and create space for your creativityCapture your ideas on the goBe gentle with yourselfSpend time in nature to reset and reconnect

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I'm joined by Cristina Mancini, CEO of Black Girls Code, the nonprofit on a mission to change the face of tech. Before joining Black Girls Code, Cristina built a career in film and television, where her curiosity about how to reach audiences between releases led her into the world of technology. What began as a quest to better engage fans soon evolved into a passion for using tech to drive impact and inclusion. Cristina is leading a powerful expansion of the organization's focus: beyond teaching girls to code, she's focused on launching them into the rooms where decisions are made. With her, Black Girls Code has grown to include not just education, but inspiration and real-world opportunity, ensuring that girls and women of color not only learn the skills, but build the confidence and community to thrive in tech. Mancini's vision is clear: access isn't enough, especially in a society in which “people are developing technologies that are not built with inclusion in mind.” Under her leadership, Black Girls Code has evolved beyond education, expanding into college campuses and adult programs that inspire, equip, and launch talent into real-world careers. Whether it's helping a girl build her first app or ensuring she lands a paid internship, Cristina is building a future where representation is the rule, not the exception.In a world where AI and emerging technologies are shaping everything from healthcare to hiring, Cristina is clear: inclusion isn't optional, it's crucial. From building out summer camps and national programming to creating pathways for paid internships and leadership, she's working to ensure no girl is left behind just because the tech world wasn't built with her in mind. Thank you for listening!

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I'm joined by Nayeema Raza, creator and host of the newly launched podcast Smart Girl, Dumb Questions. With a background spanning global consulting, documentary storytelling and top-charting podcasts, Nayeema decided it was time to create something entirely her own. In this episode, she shares how a childhood shaped by constant change made her comfortable with reinvention, and why staying still has always felt more foreign than starting over. For Nayeema, comfort has never been the goal. It's the cue that it's time to move on. Her path has been guided less by long-term plans and more by instinct: when something starts feeling too safe, that's her “clue to unlock the next thing.”She opens up about what drew her to launch a show built on curiosity, and why asking the “dumb” questions out loud matters more than ever. We talk about what it means to redefine ambition on your own terms, the pressure of being both the business and the brand, and the surprising freedom that can come from a failed milestone. Whether it was ending a long-term relationship, starting over in New York at 31, or launching a podcast from scratch, Nayeema's path proves that reinvention isn't just possible, it can be joyful, curious and entirely your own.From navigating the realities of running her own show to reshaping what mastery looks like, Nayeema is creating a space where not knowing isn't a weakness, it's the starting point. This episode is a reminder that sometimes the smartest thing you can do is ask the question everyone else is too afraid to say out loud. Thank you for listening!

On this episode of SUPERWOMEN, I'm joined by Gail Becker, founder of Caulipower, the better-for-you brand that redefined the frozen pizza aisle and became one of the fastest-growing food startups in the U.SAfter years climbing the corporate ladder, Gail realized the view at the top wasn't what she thought it'd be. With no background in the food industry, she poured herself into solving a personal problem: finding nutritious, gluten-free food her sons with celiac disease would actually enjoy. What started with a 90-minute homemade cauliflower crust pizza recipe turned into a national sensation, earning Caulipower over $100 million in revenue within five years. We talk about building a company later in life, raising capital as a female founder, staying true to your mission, and what it means to define success on your own terms. Gail shares what it really felt like to walk away from the safety of a steady job, the highs and lows of starting over later in life, as well as it being what ultimately equip her for the hardships of taking on an industry you're stranger to. We talk about the importance of admitting what you don't know and when to ask for help. To take stock of what you're not good at and be open to educating yourself for the better of your brand. Whether you're in a career rut, thinking about launching something new, or unsatisfied with Big Food, this conversation is your sign to bet on yourself.Thank you for listening!

There must be something we can do."Ko: 그들은 컴퓨터 앞에 앉아 부랴부랴 키보드를 두드리기 시작했다.En: They sat at the computer and hurriedly typed on the keyboard.Ko: 그리고 마침내, 소영은 문제를 해결했다.En: Finally, Soyoung solved the problem.Ko: 경보음이 멈췄고, 그들은 안도하며 실험을 시작했다.En: The alarm stopped, and they began the experiment with relief.Ko: 준과 소영은 협력하여 창의적인 프로젝트를 완성했다.En: Joon and Soyoung cooperated to complete a creative project.Ko: 박람회 당일, 그들의 작품은 박수를 받았다.En: On the day of the fair, their work was met with applause.Ko: 학생들은 물론 선생님들도 감명받은 채 칭찬했다.En: Both students and teachers were impressed and offered praise.Ko: 준은 큰 미소를 지으며 소영에게 말했다. "팀워크와 믿음이 이렇게 중요한 줄 몰랐어."En: Joon, with a big smile, said to Soyoung, "I didn't know teamwork and trust were so important."Ko: 이번 경험은 준에게 큰 자신감을 안겼다.En: This experience gave Joon great confidence.Ko: 그는 자기 스스로의 가능성을 더 믿게 되었고, 친구와의 협력이 얼마나 중요한지 깨달았다.En: He came to believe more in his own potential, and he realized how important cooperation with friends is.Ko: 이제 그는 그 어떤 것도 해낼 수 있다고 믿었다.En: Now, he believed he could accomplish anything.

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I'm joined by Rosa Li, founder and CEO of Wildwonder, the world's first sparkling prebiotic and probiotic drink inspired by heritage tonics and California produce stands. When Rosa's high-stress finance job left her feeling depleted and dealing with digestive issues, she looked inward and backward. Drawing from her grandmother's traditional herbal tonics, Rosa started tinkering in her kitchen, rediscovering the power of plants, botanicals, and food as medicine.In this episode, Rosa opens up about the early days of Wildwonder, from chasing co-packers to hand-delivering drinks door-to-door, Rosa's entrepreneurial journey is anything but ordinary. She shares how she bootstrapped her business during the pandemic, transformed rejection into resilience, and landed on the shelves of Whole Foods, Target, and 5,000+ retailers across the U.S. Rosa also dives into the cultural influences that shaped her, what it looks like to create a mission-driven brand in a male-dominated space, and why vulnerability and resourcefulness are her secret weapons in both life and business. Whether you're a founder, a foodie, or just someone figuring it out as you go, Rosa's journey proves that success doesn't come from waiting—it comes from showing up again and again, in spite of the noise. Thank you for listening!

"I find that most often I take the risk and not only do I grow, I learn. I'm furthering not only my career and whatever it is I'm taking the risk in, but when I fail I've also learned something. And you only learn the most valuable lessons, unfortunately, when you fail." In this special event recording, you'll hear behind-the-scenes info and career lessons from fashion designer Rebecca Minkoff! As the author of Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success, podcast host of Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff and co-founder of the Female Founder Collective, Rebecca's encouragement stems from her 20 years of entrepreneurship - both the successes and the frustrations. Moderated by Jackie Hyland, NYWICI member and Associate Director of Corporate Affairs, Sustainability at KPMG US, this conversation focuses on taking educated risks and transforming setbacks into opportunities. You'll also hear tips for how to establish your unique vision and get to know the audience you hope to serve. 

On this episode of SUPERWOMEN, I sat down with Allison Ellsworth, co-founder of Poppi—the better-for-you soda brand that's gone from tabling at the farmers' market to one of the fastest-growing beverages in the U.S.Allison's journey started with a gut feeling—literally. Struggling with health issues and searching for natural remedies, she discovered the benefits of apple cider vinegar. But instead of settling for the harsh taste, she hit the kitchen and created her own fix. What followed? A Whole Foods rep at the farmers market, a “Shark Tank” deal, and a rebrand that would catapult Poppi into virality and the mainstream.In this episode, she opens up about what it really took to scale Poppi: letting go of fear, maxing out credit cards, learning how to lead, building a brand from instinct, and saying no to “dumb money.” We talk team dynamics, viral TikToks, Super Bowl commercials, and why sometimes the boldest move is pausing everything to get the brand right. We also get into the power of believing in yourself, even when no one else sees the vision yet. After all, Allison is the self-proclaimed Chief Believe Officer. Whether you're building a business or just love a good founder story, Allison's energy, honesty, and unstoppable drive will leave you inspired—and maybe craving a can of Poppi. If you've ever been told “That's not how it's done,” this one's for you.Thank you for listening!

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I'm joined by Dr. Tiffany Moon, board-certified anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, author, and former cast member of “The Real Housewives of Dallas,” for an honest conversation about finding perspective and building self-worth. In this episode, Tiffany shares some of the lessons that shaped her new book, “Joy Prescriptions,” and opens up about the power of letting go, saying no, and finding confidence outside of achievement. We discuss her incredible journey, from her unexpected leap into reality TV to launching multiple businesses. Tiffany opens up about the moment she realized success wasn't synonymous with joy, and how that realization led her to reimagine her life. The accolades, the titles, and the “dream job” just weren't filling up her cup the way she had imagined they would. Between launching a summit for professional women and juggling multiple businesses, she lets us in the power of using joy, not perfection, as a metric of success.Whether she's in the operating room, onstage at her LeadHer Summit, or at home with her twin daughters, Tiffany's story is a reminder that life doesn't start after reaching your professional goals—it begins when you “find worth in just being you.”Thank you for listening!

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sat down with Neha Kumar, co-founder and COO of Full Glass Wine Co., a brand acquisition and management firm that focuses on revitalizing the direct-to-consumer wine market. In an inspiring conversation, she teaches us about entrepreneurship, resilience, and redefining success on your own terms. Neha's career began in finance and banking before she pivoted into the startup world—learning through failure and eventually building and selling companies across multiple industries.In this episode, Neha shares why she lives by the philosophy of “burn the ships,” how working in six-month increments helps her stay focused, and how she fits her professional goals into her personal life work-life balance. “It's all just one” when integrating family, career, and ambition into a single, meaningful whole, she says. We talk about how she found herself again through work after facing postpartum struggles and what it took to build Full Glass Wine Co. through the acquisition of seven wine brands in just 18 months. We get into the importance of understanding what season you're in—whether you're sprinting or running a marathon—and how to make it all work by letting the different parts of your life move together. Neha's story is honest, energizing, and a reminder that you don't need a perfect plan—just the courage to go after what you want next.Thank you for listening!

From spontaneous kisses over Sunday lattes to morning walks in Central Park (with perfectly groomed dogs), Dorinda reminds us that life is best lived with heart, intention, and a healthy dose of humor. We also dive into the evolution of dating after 50, why women should lean into saying yes, and how Blue Stone Manor became not just a home but a sanctuary. We get into the “floozy clause” of prenups, the realities of Upper East Side divorce culture, and the beauty of female friendship.This episode is sponsored by Magnum Ice Cream (US).

We're back with the Morning After Series on SUPERWOMEN, sponsored by Magnum Ice Cream! In the third episode of this four-part series, Candace Bushnell, the creator of “Sex and The City,” and I sat down with the incredible Camille Kostek—model, entrepreneur, and former NFL cheerleader. Camille opens up about the brutal rejections that she faced early in her career, the impossible beauty standards she refused to conform to, and how walking away from agencies that didn't believe in her led to the Sports Illustrated moment that changed everything.Camille gets real about the lingering insecurities that come with being in the public eye, the mental toll of an industry built on perfection, and the daily work of staying true to herself. She also tells us why she believes in breaking the mold rather than fitting into it and how social media has both empowered and pressured her. And, because no conversation is off-limits here, we talked about , why women are still hesitant to ask for what they want, and why we feel like we're constantly being sized up, whether in an audition or on a first date. This episode is sponsored by Magnum Ice Cream (US).

On SUPERWOMEN, I'm sitting down with Dr. Amy Shah, a double board-certified physician, best-selling author, and nutrition expert. Amy walked away from a traditional medical career to carve her own path in wellness. After spending years training to become a doctor, she found herself exhausted and unfulfilled. Searching for answers, she turned to writing as a creative outlet, never imagining it would lead to a thriving career helping women take control of their health. In this episode, Amy shares her expertise on the often overlooked connection between gut health, hormones, and overall well-being, breaking down how modern lifestyles wreak havoc on our bodies and what we can do to reset. She explains the science behind fasting and its effects on women, why walking is one of the simplest yet most effective tools for brain health, and how our food choices shape everything from energy levels to mood. She also addresses the alarming misinformation online surrounding women's health, highlighting the red flags to watch for when seeking medical advice.Amy gives us actionable insights on reclaiming your energy, strengthening your body, and building a life that feels aligned with your goals.

Welcome back to the Morning After Series on SUPERWOMEN, sponsored by Magnum Ice Cream! In the second episode of this four-part series, Candace Bushnell, the creator of “Sex and The City,” and I sat down with the fashion icon Nicky Hilton Rothschild, to talk about her experiences with dating and how “SATC” has shaped her life. Nicky is a New Yorker, born and bred. She grew up in the city secretly watching “Sex and The City” when she was a teen, and blowing her entire allowance at Patricia Field's boutique in Greenwich Village on Saturdays with her sister Paris. But her love life hasn't mirrored that of the show's leading ladies. “I wish I had some more salacious stories for you, but I was always that monogamous girl. I was always in, like, a multi-year relationship,” she tells us, “so I didn't get to play in the Manhattan dating playground.” Nicky gives us the scoop on the best places to meet elusive bachelors, how she knew she met The One, which “SATC” character she sees herself in, her cameo that never was, and the one fashion item she still scours the Internet for.Magnum Double Raspberry bars are the perfect indulgent treat for chocolate and fruit lovers this Valentine's Day!

On SUPERWOMEN, I talked to Shirah Benarde, the 22-year-old CEO and co-founder of NightCap. When she was just 16, Shirah found out that one of her friends had been roofied. Not long after, she got to work, taping together a pair of pantyhose and a scrunchie to make a prototype of a device that can help protect people from drink-spiking. Cut to one year later: Shirah and her brother Michael pitched the product on “Shark Tank” and secured a deal. But launching her business as a Gen Z founder was far from easy. “I knew deep down that I had no idea what I was doing, and that made it really hard for other people to see me in a professional way,” she told me. Shirah pushed herself to really understand her business, making costly mistakes along her journey.“We definitely spent a lot of money on things that we didn't know that worked,” she said, “but it was a huge learning lesson.” In the process of building her company, she discovered how to get people to trust her vision: “You have to take yourself seriously.” NightCap has since taken off, partnering with nonprofits, and over 200 universities. The company has also been spearheading legislation to help people stay safe when they go out. This week on SUPERWOMEN, I talked to @shirahbenarde, the 22-year-old CEO and co-founder of @nightcapit about drink-spiking and her life-saving (literally!) accessories that help people stay safe when they go out. Shirah lets us in how she deals with the stigma of being a Gen Z woman in business, her time on “Shark Tank,” and how she personally convinced the CEO of a multinational fashion company at a conference to team up with her company.Thank you for listening!

On the SUPERWOMEN podcast, I'm sitting down with Laurie Segall, the founder of Mostly Human Media and a former senior technology correspondent and editor-at-large at CNN. Throughout her award-winning career, Laurie has investigated the dangers of technology, and has interviewed some of the most powerful figures in Silicon Valley, like Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey. Laurie had always dreamt of being a journalist and started at the bottom of the newsroom as a CNN intern. Fast-forward several years, and she was leading the organization's tech coverage at one of the most pivotal moments in modern history—the rise of social media. Her groundbreaking reporting has shed light on some of the most terrifying consequences of the digital era, including unregulated A.I. chatbots, tech addiction, revenge pornography, and more. After she spent nearly a decade at CNN, at the top of her game, she left it all behind in 2019 to start her own media company, where her work has continued her push for a safer future. She has also written a memoir, “Special Characters: My Adventures with Tech's Titans and Misfits,” an unflinching look at how she built her career alongside the tech startup nerds turned giants, who have shaped the world as we know it today.In this episode, Laurie shares her best advice for women who feel intimidated by the challenges of starting a business, the YouTube video that inspired her to quit her dream job, and how she plans to take on her latest target: MrDeepFakes.Thank you for listening!

On the SUPERWOMEN podcast, I'm sitting down with Chelsea Hirschhorn, the founder and C.E.O. of Frida, to talk about how her company prepares women, and parents in general, for the raw realities of raising children. Chelsea launched Frida Baby, in 2014, with the NoseFrida, a handy tool she'd used on her own young child when they were sick with a cold. When she realized how much more effective and hygienic it was compared with other products on the market, she knew she wanted to share it with the world. The company launched Frida Mom in 2019, and, just last year, she took it another step further with Frida Fertility. Her company has exploded with an innovative product line that supports parents in every stage of their journeys, from the moment that they think about having a child all the way through their postpartum recovery and beyond. In this episode, Chelsea dives into the importance of establishing trust with your consumers and helping them to feel seen and understood, what it's like to go into business with your spouse, and she shares the one thing we would be surprised to know about her.

On the SUPERWOMEN podcast this week, I'm joined by Kathleen Griffith, an award-winning business strategist and bestselling author, to talk about her book, “Build Like a Woman: The Blueprint for Creating a Business and Life You Love,” and her path to empowering female entrepreneurs. Kathleen started her career in corporate, working for big advertising agencies, but felt that her work was engineering insecurity in women rather than emboldening them to do more. She left and founded her own companies: BUILD, a global platform that guides women in transforming their businesses and lives, and Grayce & Co, a female-focused marketing and media consultancy. Her work has been featured in numerous publications, including TIME Magazine, Forbes, The New York Times, Business Insider, and The Wall Street Journal, and she has been recognized as a “Top 40 Disruptor” by ADWEEK, “Leading Woman in Business” by Fast Company, “Creative Innovator” by Condé Nast, “Most Powerful Woman” by Fortune, and more. In this episode, she reflects on finding opportunities in life's challenges, building confidence through setting and achieving goals, and why we, as women, need to forge the right mindset—not just the skillset—to turn our dreams into a reality.

This week, I sat down with Tiffany Masterson, the founder of the skincare company Drunk Elephant, on the SUPERWOMEN podcast to talk about the importance of staying committed to your purpose while growing your business.  Before she started the company, Tiffany recognized in herself a deep passion for using her creativity to help others. She'd been asked for skincare recommendations by her friends, and began to look into common ingredients found in skincare products. Her research journey led her to realize how many of the ingredients were unnecessary and could lead to issues like inflammation. In 2013, she launched Drunk Elephant with a focus on clean and simple formulas. The business, which she founded as a stay-at-home mom, became one of the leading and fastest-growing brands in the clean beauty movement. It was acquired by Shiseido for $845 million, in 2019. In this episode, Tiffany takes us through her journey and shares insightful tips on how to use doubt and fear as motivation, who to bring onto your team, and when to ask for help.
