Does the Bible truly restrict women in leadership? In this thought-provoking Voxology Podcast episode, Mike Geary, Susie Lind, and Preston Sprinkle wrestle with this deeply significant theological question. Drawing from Preston's upcoming book, *From Genesis to Junia: What the Bible Really Says About Women in Leadership*, they explore the historical, cultural, and biblical contexts that shape complementarian and egalitarian debates. Are women called to lead, preach, and teach in the church? What role does cultural context play in interpreting scripture? With a blend of personal stories, rigorous scholarship, and honest dialogue, the hosts unpack passages like 1 Timothy 2 and Ephesians 5, illuminating how interpretations of authority, headship, and agency have shaped the Church's approach to women in ministry. Susie shares her lived experience as a pastor navigating these challenges, while Preston dives into the exegetical work that informed his book. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about how faith intersects with justice, theology, and cultural issues. Join the conversation as the hosts emphasize Jesus' inclusive teachings and challenge the commodification of women within religious structures.

"I've always focused on what I've been called to do and how I do that in partnership with others." Aleem Maqbool speaks to Dame Sarah Mulally, shortly before being confirmed as Archbishop of Canterbury. She's the first woman ever to lead the Church of England. It's a tough time for the Church and its leader who has to hold together people with a broad range of opinions across the Anglican Communion, one of the largest Christian communities in the world. Dame Sarah's election has upset some traditionalists who have threatened to leave the church because they are against the role of women in leadership. And, with her predecessor leaving because of his failings over abuse in the church, her stance on safeguarding, along with reparative justice and the blessings in church of same sex couples, are all in the spotlight. A former nurse, Dame Sarah rose to become England's chief nursing officer before being ordained. She says that there are strong links between nursing and being a priest - not always finding a cure, she says, but trying to heal.

Should women demand employers to pay MORE to cover their beauty costs? Women are paying out of pocket to be seen as credible, competent, and professional at work. Hair. Skin. Clothes. Time. Money. Face lifts. All of it. Not to mention the societal expectation that women should remain youthful, polished, and "camera-ready" especially when in a visible position whether it's in leadership, on stage, or otherwise. Spicy, right?In this episode, I sit down with Eleanor Beaton, powerhouse CEO and founder of Safi Media, to talk about why these costs are not vapid vanity, but part of the infrastructure of expectation and what is required to stay relevant, and why pretending otherwise keeps women underpaid and exhausted.Listen, I pushed back HARD on how outrageous this idea is - but also, WHAT IF it could be a way forward for us as women? We chat about the economics of beauty standards, ageism in the workplace, and why professional women are stuck absorbing costs, financial and emotional, just to appear relevant and polished.Eleanor peels back the curtain on why grooming, wardrobe upgrades, and even the ruthless battle against gray hair aren't just personal choices, they're part of a larger social infrastructure expected from women in high-visibility roles. We get real about the financial toll (think: $20,000+ a year!) and the invisible expectations that men just don't face. If you're an entrepreneur, founder, or ambitious woman in a corporate setting, you'll learn why it's time to stop treating these “upkeep” expenses as shameful and start seeing them as legitimate business investments.We also talk about negotiating for the true cost of visibility, dismantling patriarchal narratives, finding the right communities for support and strategic advice, and why transparency and discernment are superpowers for the next generation of female leaders. This episode isn't just a conversation, it's an invitation to step up, get strategic, and redefine what it means to show up powerfully in a culture that's overdue for a change.We talk about:The hidden costs of female professional visibilitySocietal beauty standards and agingThe gender wage gap and structural imbalancesNegotiating compensation as infrastructureEmotional impact of relevance and confidenceThe power of networks and access to informationDiscernment in choosing professional communitiesTimestamps:00:00 Choosing Gray: A Personal Choice03:11 Blind Spots and Relevance08:16 Beauty Expenses and Tax Challenges10:32 Accounting for Appearance Costs13:03 Gender Stereotypes and Ageism Debate19:07 Negotiating Workplace Costs20:47 Negotiation Tips for Employment Logistics26:24 Confident Women in Daily Life29:36 Empowering Women Entrepreneurs33:29 Structuring Success for Entrepreneurs35:18 Discernment and Evolving StandardsPrefer watching on YouTube? https://youtu.be/crrVBwgUfSo—---------------------------------------------------------To Connect With Eleanor:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/Website: https://eleanorbeaton.com/To Connect With Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allison__hareLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/allisonhare/Website: https://allisonhare.comBook a free clarity call with Allison: https://allisonhare.com/freecall Be sure to rate, review, and follow this podcast on your player and also, connect with me IRL for more goodness and life-changing stuff.Schedule a FREE podcast clarity call with me - Your future audience is out there.

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from myself, Dr. Robin. I say — "You may be like so many high achieving women who are accomplished that you might be living in an outdated version of who you are. Versions that were built from who you were, who you used to be, who you have been, and you haven't updated this sense of who you are." If you've been successful, accomplished, and respected — but lately you feel restless, misaligned, or quietly questioning what's next — this episode is for you. In this solo conversation, I talk about why purpose doesn't disappear, why it often feels confusing at this stage of your career, and how to recognize when your purpose is asking to evolve. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll understand why feeling unfulfilled doesn't mean something is wrong — it often means you've outgrown a former version of yourself. You'll learn how "shoulds," expectations, and identity armor quietly block clarity when you're at a career crossroads. You'll walk away with four simple questions that help you reconnect with what feels aligned now — not who you used to be. I'm Dr. Robin — professor, speaker, author, coach, and creator of the PurposeMAKER™ philosophy, framework, and platform, supporting high-achieving women in leadership to close the gap between success and fulfillment.

If women don't experiment with AI now, we risk hard-coding today's leadership gaps into tomorrow's technology. In this episode I'm joined by Kendra MacDonald, CEO of Canada's Ocean Supercluster, to explore the intersection of women in leadership, AI readiness, representation, and emerging technology. This conversation goes beyond theory. It tackles the real risks and opportunities facing women leaders as AI, climate tech, and other emerging technologies reshape how leadership works — and who gets to shape the future. In this episode, we discuss: ◾ Why representation in leadership matters more than ever in emerging tech ◾ How AI adoption in the workplace can either reduce or reinforce gender bias ◾ Why women's hesitation to experiment with AI is a leadership issue — not a technical one ◾ What it takes to lead confidently in male-dominated industries like tech and ocean innovation ◾ How leadership pipelines for women are shaped early — at work, at home, and through education ◾ The role of experimentation, confidence, and visibility in closing the leadership gap Kendra shares her own journey — from stepping away from STEM early in life to leading large-scale innovation and commercialisation — and offers practical insight into how women leaders can engage with AI and emerging tech without needing to be technical experts. If you care about: ✔ women in tech leadership ✔ AI readiness for leaders ✔ gender diversity in leadership ✔ bias in AI algorithms ✔ emerging and sustainable technology this episode is for you.

As this show predicted at the end of 2025, Jeffrey Epstein has become the Disorderer-in-Chief of 2026 – with Keir Starmer's credibility and ability to govern the latest victims of the document release. So how could there possibly be any Order emerging from this Disorder? It is only possible if McSweeney is ejected from Number 10. That is the only answer and the longer Starmer keeps him on, the weaker he will become relative to the Labour backbench. This week, Jason and Jane look at the ongoing fallout from the Epstein files on British high politics and why we need more transparent and more courageous leaders. Plus: the duo investigate the rise of women in leadership roles within the UN, examine upcoming US negotiations on both Russia/Ukraine and Iran/Nuclear, present Jason's observations about the depoliticisation of Trump's America, and answer questions from members of our Mega Orderers Club. Finally, as they Order the Disorder, they imagine a world with new institutions that could actually track what diplomats (current and former) do with state secrets and their privileged access to power.

What happens when a high-performing woman finally decides to build what she actually needs? In this episode, I sit down with Meg Gold, Co-Founder and CEO of BONDE, a private, vetted community for women decision-makers to talk about the parts of leadership we don't talk about enough: vulnerability, identity shifts, and the quiet courage it takes to bet on yourself. Meg shares the deeply personal story behind BONDE's founding, from navigating IVF to leaving corporate leadership and the unexpected ways women at the top still struggle to find real connection. We explore what women in leadership are truly missing (spoiler: it's not more mentorship), and how BONDE is reimagining community for women who don't fit into traditional boxes. If you've ever looked around a boardroom or business community and thought, "This wasn't built for me," - this conversation will feel like a homecoming. YOU'LL HEAR The moment Meg knew she was building someone else's dream and why she walked away How IVF reshaped her relationship with leadership, timing, and self-trust The unexpected way BONDE was born (hint: it involves an ugly sweater party) Why high-performing women still feel isolated, even with mentors and success The core need Meg sees in women leaders today (and how BONDE is answering it) How vulnerability became one of her strongest leadership tools Her perspective on protecting energy as a founder, mother, and human Why more women are betting on their own intellectual property A simple ritual she uses to stay grounded, creative, and clear YOUR RESOURCES → BONDE: www.joinbonde.com → Meg Gold: www.linkedin.com/in/meggold

In this episode of Even Better, host Sinikka Waugh is joined by Urmi Hossain for a powerful conversation on mentorship for women, how to find the support you need and how to become that support for someone else. Urmi shares why mentorship begins with self‑awareness, clarity, and understanding your goals, and why the best mentor for you doesn't always look like you or come from your industry. Together, they explore mentorship as a two‑way relationship, the importance of showing initiative, and the surprising value women often underestimate in themselves. Urmi also introduces the idea of building a personal "board of mentors" to guide different parts of your life and career. With insights on confidence, community, and empowering other women, this episode offers practical guidance for anyone seeking to grow, give back, and be even better. -- Urmi Hossain is a woman who wears many hats. She is a self-published author, speaker, blogger, podcast host, polyglot, mentor, and holder of both the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) and CAIA (Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst) designations. Urmi works in the financial services industry in Canada, where she currently resides. Her first book, Discovering Your Identity: A Rebirth from Interracial Struggle, reflects her journey as a third-culture kid navigating questions of belonging, culture, and self-worth. Urmi is the host of Stories Beyond Borders, a podcast that amplifies diverse voices and explores stories of identity, migration, language, and what "home" really means. Passionate about women's empowerment, she serves as the Co-Chair of Women in Leadership's Montreal Chapter. She is also a strong advocate for continuous learning and personal growth. One of her greatest passions is public speaking — she has been an active Toastmasters member since 2019, having served as both VP of Education and Club President. In her spare time, Urmi enjoys reading thrillers and mystery novels and staying active through boxing, HIIT workouts, and running.

This episode is the second in a special FEI Podcast series spotlighting past speakers from Financial Executives International's ICONS: Leaders in Finance event – designed to build momentum toward ICONS 2026. Heather Cole, Executive Coach and Business Analytics Advisor at Lodestar Solutions, Inc., interviews Patti Humble, former Chief Accounting Officer at UPS, Institute of Management Accountants board member, and Golden Seeds investor. Patti reframes careers as “jungle gyms, not ladders,” sharing the pivotal moment when she walked into her leader's office and asked for a promotion—only to learn she wasn't even being considered. That courageous ask set off a chain reaction that ultimately led her to the C-suite. Together, Heather and Patti explore: Why “don't ask, don't get” is a leadership strategy, not a slogan How finance leaders earn influence by shifting from black-and-white answers to business-shaping questions What real transformation leadership requires: hearts, minds, and momentum—not just project plans The power of building an external network to accelerate decisions and reduce friction Patti's next chapter as a board-ready leader and angel investor supporting women-led startups through Golden Seeds If you've ever assumed that hard work alone would get you noticed, this conversation offers a better playbook—because excellence is impressive, but advocacy is what changes your zip code.

Send us a textOn the latest episode of the Stories to Create podcast, Cornell Bunting sits down with Jacquelyn Mosier—a builder, problem-solver, and someone who's learned to trust her gut, especially when it keeps tapping her on the shoulder about the same issue.Jacquelyn talks about how ForgeOps didn't start as a company—it started as a feeling. Over and over, she watched smart, capable teams struggle. Not because they weren't good at what they did, but because their systems weren't talking to each other. Information got stuck. Hand-offs fell apart. And things quietly went wrong long before anyone noticed the job was off track.She could've ignored that feeling. A lot of people do. But she didn't. She leaned into it—and trusted the right people to help her build something better.That leap led to ForgeOps, where she's now Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer. ForgeOps is creating a job coordination operating system that lives where construction meets operations. Jacquelyn's role covers revenue, partnerships, positioning, and investor relationships—but for her, it's about more than numbers. It's about protecting the vision and making sure what they build actually works in the real world.She also shares about Jack-IT Consulting, another company she founded to help businesses cut through the tech noise, choose the right tools, and actually use them. No shelfware. No overcomplicated systems. Just tech that does what it's supposed to do.What really drives her?Seeing patterns others missBuilding with intentionChoosing people over egoTurning intuition into real, working systemsJacquelyn believes the best companies are built when leaders really listen—to the data, to the people in the field, and to themselves.In this episode, she also opens up about growing up in a small town called Shelbyville, Illinois, navigating challenges within her family, and eventually moving to Florida to escape the cold and start fresh.If you're building something meaningful, figuring things out as you grow, or wrestling with problems that don't have easy answers—this conversation is for you.

This conversation brings into focus the dynamic A Suite program that Justina has created through her business, Valkyrie Solutions, designed specifically to empower women in leadership roles. Throughout the episode, a slew of insights unfold as Chris and Justina tackle the enduring challenges and hidden opportunities within male-dominated industries.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in leadership development, gender dynamics in the corporate world, and practical guidance on fostering inclusive workplaces.

Importance of Self-Trust: Building self-trust is crucial for women to assert themselves and excel in their professional environments. Dismantling Competition: Encouraging women to view each other as teammates rather than competitors to enhance innovation and success. Unlearning Toxic Conditioning: Addressing and overcoming toxic workplace environments that condition negative views towards leadership and gender. Research-Backed Strategies: The A Suite offers rooted strategies and psychological insights to empower women in leadership with evidence-based practices. Notable Quotes: “The greatest transformation is that women trust themselves the first time around.” “When there is no diversity at the top, we see the same ideas regurgitated and recycled.” “In the absence of self-doubt, we’re really able to thrive in other aspects of our life.” “I never should have had to doubt myself in the first place.” “We all rise together when we teach and empower those around us.”

James Stewart (J.D.M.) speaks with Catherine McKenna about her book, Run Like A Girl. From Olympic dreams to the frontlines of politics and climate action, Run Like A Girl charts McKenna's personal and political journey – from leading Canada's climate plan to withstanding sexist attacks as “Climate Barbie.” Through a unique scrapbook-style format, McKenna blends candid personal stories, political insights, and reflections on motherhood, ambition, and activism. McKenna recounts her fight for climate policy, the ups and downs of public service, the tough decision to leave politics, and her mission to empower women in leadership. For readers of Becoming by Michelle Obama and No Logo by Naomi Klein, Run Like A Girl is a timely and deeply personal call to action – about finding your own path, breaking the rules, fighting for the future – on your own terms. Catherine McKenna is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Climate and Nature Solutions. She is Canada's former minister of environment and climate change (2015-19) as well as minister of infrastructure (2019-21). The chair of the UN Secretary General's Expert Group Net Zero, she is a frequent speaker on climate action and women empowerment.

Dr. Lynn H. Cohick is a for-real Bible scholar – which is the way you say that when you're not a for-real Bible scholar. Dr. Cohick is Professor of New Testament and also Director of Houston Theological Seminary at Houston Christian University.She served as President of the Institute of Biblical Research, as a senior translator on the New Living Bible Translation team. She serves on the Board of Trustees at Biola University and as the founder and President of Center for Women in Leadership. She has a great podcast – The Alabaster Jar -- and she's just a delightful human being. It is a joy today to talk with her about women in the Bible and in the 21st century, and about a passage in Ephesians that I think you'll find illuminating.
In the opening episode of Season 7 of Embracing Enough, host Dina Scippa pulls back the curtain on what women in leadership are actually carrying - and why so many are exhausted despite doing everything “right.”This episode isn't about fixing confidence or pushing resilience harder. It's about naming the deeper, systemic patterns that make leadership feel heavy, isolating, and emotionally taxing for women - especially those who are competent, committed, and conscientious.Dina reflects on the evolution of the podcast and introduces a season rooted in honesty over polish, truth over platitudes. She speaks directly to the quiet exhaustion women leaders feel but rarely say out loud - the fear of sounding ungrateful, weak, or incapable if they admit how hard it really is.This season moves the conversation away from individual shortcomings and toward the unspoken realities of leadership culture: the emotional labor, the silence, the pressure to perform composure while absorbing the weight of expectations that were never part of the job description.Embracing Enough becomes what it's always meant to be - the group chat, the hallway conversation, the truth-telling space where women don't have to pretend anymore.Key TakeawaysLeadership exhaustion is widespread among women—and it's not a personal failureThe fatigue many women feel is rooted in systemic expectations, not workload aloneWomen leaders often feel stuck despite being capable, successful, and qualifiedThere is a silence problem around naming the emotional cost of leadershipThis season prioritizes honest, unpolished conversations over performative confidenceThe focus is shifting from “fixing women” to examining leadership systems
This episode is about a feeling I do not hear discussed very often, especially among women in leadership: having a career that looks successful on paper, but still not feeling settled, finished, or like you have “arrived.”I am not sharing this as a complaint or a dramatic confession. It is an honest observation about how my career has actually unfolded. Over time, I have gained experience, responsibility, and perspective, but the moment I assumed would come—the one where everything feels certain and secure; never really did. What showed up instead was continued curiosity, change, and growth.In this episode, I reflect on how that pattern formed and what it has taught me about leadership, ambition, and stability, including:How starting my career during the dot-com boom and bust in San Francisco taught me to operate in ambiguity long before I realized itThe difference between ambition and restlessness, and why nonlinear growth is often misunderstood; especially for womenWhy choosing fit over optics can be one of the most confident leadership decisions you makeHow repeated market disruptions reshaped my understanding of stability, loyalty, and what leadership actually requiresIf you thought you would feel more certain by now, or more finished, this episode is for you. You are not behind, and you are not failing to figure something out that everyone else has mastered. Some careers are not designed to arrive at a final destination.They are meant to unfold; through recalibration, second acts, and choices that prioritize alignment over appearance. That belief sits at the heart of Clover, and it is why this show exists.

Send us a textYou are in a high-stakes meeting making a critical point, and suddenly you realize you have been talking for minutes straight. You see a peer check their phone; you see a stakeholder's eyes glaze over. Your instinct is to apologize or trail off, but in senior leadership, that is a power leak.

Australia’s political landscape feels bleak at the moment. From the coalition consumed by infighting to the brutal realities facing women in leadership, voters are frustrated. As trust erodes, support for protest parties like One Nation is rising, fuelled by cost-of-living pressure, culture-war politics and a growing sense that no one is actually listening. In this episode, Natarsha Belling is joined by Greens Leader Larissa Waters. Larissa unpacks how economic anxiety is being weaponised, why climate change and household bills are inseparable, the controversial hate speech laws, and the failure of political leaders to offer unity or accountability.

In this compelling episode of the 95 Podcast, Dale Sellers sits down with Amy Anderson of The Unstuck Group to discuss critical topics facing church leaders today. Fresh from leading The Unstuck Group through the unexpected loss of founder Tony Morgan, Amy shares profound insights on succession planning, navigating grief while leading, and the importance of knowing when to pass the torch. The conversation explores the church life cycle, metrics that matter for sustained health, and the exciting resurgence of spiritually hungry young adults returning to church. Amy offers practical wisdom on how pastors can focus on what only they can do, build leadership benches, and position their churches to reach the next generation effectively.Show Notes: https://95network.org/95podcast-322-summary-succession-planning-church-health-leading-through-transition-reaching-the-next-generation-w-amy-anderson-episode-322/Key Points In BriefAmy's Journey: 35 years of marriage, three grown kids, six grandchildren on the way; started in corporate (3M, Amation), transitioned to church ministry for 12-13 years, now 11 years with The Unstuck Group working with 250+ churchesCore vs. Defend vs. Discuss Beliefs: Churches share common core beliefs worth dying for; defend beliefs (like women in leadership, Calvinism vs. Arminianism) we'll defend but shouldn't let divide; discuss beliefs (age of earth) are open conversationsLeading Through Loss: After Tony Morgan's sudden death in fall 2024, Amy led The Unstuck Group through grief while experiencing their biggest year of service; team-based leadership and lack of weekly "52 events" helped manage the weightSuccession Planning Essentials: Best time to plan is during the high point, not the decline; requires 2-3 year transition across three lanes—teaching/preaching, board leadership, and staff leadership; pastors often stay too longChurch Life Cycle Reality: Every church goes through a life cycle; the key is recognizing where you are and reinventing at sustained health to avoid decline; metrics tell the story before attendance and finances show problemsMaintenance Phase Warning: When you're more worried about keeping people happy than moving mission forward, you're in maintenance; false happiness comes from good attendance/finances while momentum is actually slippingLead Indicators to Watch: Percentage of people serving, new people in database, kids check-ins, and baptisms—these decline before overall attendance, giving early warning signsFuture Pastor Shortage: Over 100,000 pastors expected to transition in next 10 years; seminaries aren't producing enough replacements; churches must build leadership benches and create residency programs to raise up future leadersWhat Lead Pastors Must Do: Cast vision, be spiritual leader/teacher, champion where church is going—but don't have to do everything; surround with team that complements weaknessesTwo Essential Strategies: (1) Effective weekend service reaching new people—the primary entry point; (2) Clear discipleship pathway with simple steps: serving (spiritual gifts), community (finding 3 friends), generosityExciting Trend: Spiritual temperature is rising; Gen Z and 28-40 year olds (with and without kids) are finding their way to church, spiritually hungry—not returners but new seekers trying out faithHope for the Future: While some churches will close (the "clubs" not on mission), there's a strong army of mission-focused churches making tough decisions, refining strategies, and Support the show
Heal Yourself, Rewrite Your Family's FutureWhat if the fastest way to calm your child's anxiety is to regulate your own? We sit down with Robyn Graham—a mother, former pharmacist, and top 1% podcaster—who now serves families as a faith-based anxiety coach blending neuroscience, psychology, and Scripture. Her story threads through corporate life, a bold pivot into photography, and a clear call to help parents heal so their kids can thrive.We dig into why today's teens ride a constant dopamine roller coaster and how social media's blue light, metrics, and comparison loops fray attention and mood. Robyn lays out a simple but powerful plan to stabilize the nervous system at home: pause before reacting, step outside for five minutes of light, move your body daily, and make family meals a non-negotiable. She also draws a firm line on safety: if a child voices suicidal thoughts, therapy comes first, and medication can be a life-saving bridge. Faith and clinical care are not rivals—prayer can anchor the process while evidence-based treatment does its work.Food and light become unlikely heroes in this conversation. We explore the gut-brain axis, the impact of ultra-processed foods and dyes on mood, and how quality protein and whole foods support calmer days. Then we talk circadian cues: morning sunlight to kickstart energy, evening light to cue melatonin, and practical winter routines when the sky turns gray. We close with the courage to pivot—how Robyn evolved her career without losing her core, and why organization, clear messaging, and SEO updates matter when purpose shifts.If you're a parent who wants fewer meltdowns, better sleep, and a stronger bond with your kids, this episode offers clear tools and grounded hope.
