This episode is a celebration of how faith, courage, and authenticity can create ripple effects of change that touch countless lives.We revisit some of our favorite moments from the series — including Noelle Schnacky, Miss Florida's Teen 2025, whose Hope for Heart Kids Foundation was born out of love and loss, supporting families impacted by congenital heart defects. We also highlight Christy Ashby and Kate Slentz, the powerhouse mother-daughter duo behind Orange Appeal Magazine and The Orlando Women's Conference, who have built platforms that celebrate women and strengthen our community.Paris Richardson, Miss Florida 2025, continues to inspire us through her C.R.O.W.N. of Health initiative, bringing wellness and education to children and families across Florida. Jaeann Ashton, Executive Director of Community Engagement at AdventHealth Central Florida, reminds us how compassion-driven leadership and listening first can transform the way we care for our communities We also share updates from Keesha Scott, whose honesty and courage around motherhood and recovery continue to inspire; Karen Keene, whose strength and advocacy following tragedy uplift women through mentorship; and Dr. Karwanna Irving, whose passion for helping women create wealth with purpose is transforming the entrepreneurial space.Finally, we spotlight the continued work of Jessica Galo with Be a MindLeader and Johanna Kandel with The National Alliance for Eating Disorders, two women who continue to make monumental strides in mental health awareness and healing.Each of these stories reflects the heart of what The Make a Difference Series stands for — women using their voices, their gifts, and their experiences to create lasting impact. We hope this finale reminds you that your light, your story, and your purpose truly have the power to make a difference.…And because this series was such a success, we will be doing it again!

Systemic doesn't happen in isolation; it begins when power is shared. By placing decision-making in the hands of communities most affected by inequity, collaborative funds are reshaping philanthropy. This approach redefines who leads, who decides, and how trust is built in the places that haven't always been welcoming.  Rebecca Darwent is the founder and philanthropic advisor at Rebecca Darwent Global Inc. She is an internationally recognized expert in philanthropy, a champion of collaborative giving, and a social entrepreneur dedicated to advancing equity, liberation, and abundance through wealth and resource redistribution. She co-founded the Foundation for Black Communities (FFBC) in 2022 and led fundraising, community engagement, and advocacy that resulted in a historic $200 million capital transfer from the Canadian government to Black philanthropy. Through her advisory firm, Rebecca helps families and foundations channel their wealth and networks to empower the underfunded communities. She is also a 2024 Young Global Leader, a Women Leader for the World Fellow, and a Canadian Millennium Laureate.  In this episode, you will be able to: - Discover how collaborative funds are redistributing power and reshaping traditional philanthropy. - Learn why community-led decision-making creates more equitable and lasting impact. - Understand what it takes to build trust and partnership in historically unwelcoming spaces. - Learn why relationship-building is essential for breaking cycles of exclusion and mistrust. - Discover how Black leaders are navigating and challenging systemic barriers in philanthropy.

Are you feeling under pressure and that there isn't much you can control? You're not alone. I've been there too and what I've learned is that the one thing we can control is how we learn and what we do with it.As the hardcover of Power of What's NEXT: Bold Moves By Design releases October 14th, I've been thinking a lot about crossroads moments ... those times when we pause and realize something needs to change. Writing my chapter made me reflect on how curiosity has been the constant through every pivot I've made, from launching HerCsuite® to creating HER HEALTHX, nonprofit focused on improving women's health outcomes using Agentic AI.Back in 2019, after facing my own experience with symptom dismissal, I planned to start a women's health company. But timing, career, and the pandemic all had different ideas. HerCsuite® took off, and I followed that path until I found myself trying to balance two worlds: leadership and healthcare. For a while, they felt separate. But when I started learning everything I could about AI, it became clear that these two worlds could come together.AI became the bridge, a way to bring together leadership, technology, and women's health with purpose. Once I found this new combined “why,” everything shifted.I believe women need to be in the driver's seat of AI, not just using it, but shaping it. By 2030, when the greatest wealth transfer in history happens for women, we must be more than fluent in how technology works so we can lead with confidence and multiply our impact. It is this discovery, that helped me pivot into a new blend of leadership and healthcare using AI.In this episode, I share three ways you can use AI right now to gain clarity about your next chapter: 1️⃣ Discover more about yourself with Human Design I did, and it changed everything with Michelle Pecak, Founder of MY VIBE 2️⃣ Create your own AI Board of Advisors to guide your thinking and strategy. 3️⃣ Become a curious learner because as "adaptability is the new currency"-Karin Kimbrough. Curious learners land board roles, and grow businesses and make transformation possible.In times of uncertainty, curiosity can bring clarity. It reminds us that learning and applying what we learn is something we can control.Once I realized that I could combine AI with what I love helping women lead, and thrive with bridging the care communication gap, everything felt lighter. I believe the future will be brighter when women are shaping it: improving health outcomes, influencing boardrooms, and driving the wealth and knowledge transfer ahead.We are at a crossroads moment and we can navigate it together.

Hit the Net, Climb Back Up: Embracing Life's Valleys as SpringboardsWhat if your biggest challenges were actually divine preparation for your greatest purpose? Join us as Robin Edgar, seasoned wealth strategist with 35+ years of experience, shares her remarkable journey from teenage motherhood to guiding clients through life-changing financial decisions.Robin introduces her powerful "trapeze analogy" that reframes how we view life's transitions. "We can be swinging comfortably on our trapeze, but real growth happens when we let go to catch the next bar," she explains with hard-earned wisdom. "The space between—catching air—that's where transformation happens." Her framework of living at the intersection of faith, family, and finance offers a refreshing holistic approach to decision-making that transcends typical financial advice.This conversation goes far beyond money matters. Robin reveals practical strategies for navigating major life decisions, including her two-step approach: creating a detailed pro/con list and asking "what's the worst that could happen?" She challenges listeners to examine who they're seeking advice from, noting that "don't take advice from people more messed up than you" and "if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room."Perhaps most powerful is Robin's perspective on life's valleys. "Your muscles aren't built by swinging back and forth on the trapeze. They're built when you hit the net," she shares, explaining how her own challenging moments became the foundation of her strength. Her mantra to "begin with the end in mind" provides a clarifying lens for evaluating choices, whether in business, parenting, or personal growth.Ready to rethink how you approach transitions and build strategy around the people you surround yourself with? Listen now and discover how to transform setbacks into springboards toward your greater purpose.Resources Mentioned:Book: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R.

Are You Living on Autopilot or Riding the Genius Wheel?What if your life wasn't random chaos… but a seven-year cycle that secretly shapes your growth, transitions, and genius?In this conversation, Sally sits down with Lulu Minns, author, coach, and creator of The Genius Wheel, to smash the myth that “genius” is reserved for Einstein-types. Instead, Lulu unveils a radically different framework that reclaims intuition, feminine power, and the cycles we've been taught to ignore.We dive into:Why midlife isn't a crisis, it's a pivot point into a new genius phase.The three kinds of genius (and why you've probably dismissed your own).How to spot when you're in your personal winter phase, and why it's not failure, but power.The invisible skills patriarchy ignores: intuition, charisma, deep listening, and how they're actually genius at work.Lulu's journey from burned-out criminal lawyer to cycle-led coach and author.Forget “hustle harder.” Forget “stay in your lane.”This episode invites you to trust your body, follow your cycles, and redefine genius on your own terms.

Matt Mouzakis returns to the podcast to wrestle with one of the most debated questions in the church: What does Scripture really say about women in ministry? From Genesis to Paul's letters, we unpack how mistranslations, cultural assumptions, and bad theology have sidelined half the Body of Christ for centuries. Was Eve really just Adam's “rib”? Did Paul command women to stay silent in church forever…or was he correcting a local crisis in Ephesus? And what does “headship” actually mean when Paul calls Christ the head of the church? Many of us were taught to see “male headship” as God's design. But what if that's really just the fallout of the Fall? And what if Jesus' Kingdom has already undone that curse?     Spoiler: the resurrection was first preached by women, and that wasn't an accident.

Welcome to the Mind Movement Health podcast! Kate Boyle interviews Nancy Griffin about the powerful link between health and wealth for women, practical steps to build financial security, and the role of insurance, trusted advisors, and philanthropy. The episode covers how to start planning at any age, teach the next generation, and make confident decisions to protect and grow your net worth while enhancing self-worth.   Connect with Nancy Griffin: Nancy is a connector and influencer. She attributes her success to personal courage, determination, and joy, when focusing on women's health and wellness, hence creating Women, Worth & Wellness®. Nancy 
enjoys every opportunity to inspire and inform women about their personal health and wealth, net worth and self-worth, philanthropy and legacy—so that women feel fabulous, generous, joyful, confident, and on top of their game every day. Nancy Griffin established Women, Worth & Wellness in 1994 as a Private Client Wealth Advisor for her female clients and their families. Nancy continues to promote and inspire Daring & Caring Leaders, encouraging them to step up and lead in the world, following in the footsteps from many other powerful Women Leaders in the past. Nancy's overall purpose is to connect and influence for positive impact every chance she gets. “My Mom was a trailblazer as a women business owner and felt that women should have their own money and wealth–including their own ideas about what to invest in. She was my inspiration for focusing on health, along with wealth, as she would often say “if you don't have your health, you don't have anything. " This has always been my focus as I worked with my clients, especially women, as women often have a disproportionate responsibility to family's health and wellness. An equal focus on health and wealth is inseparable."

"You cannot get healthy until you get happy. Happiness is the road to health. I am way happier now than I ever was as a kid. I am way more empowered. I am me 2.0.

Are you doing all the right things but still not seeing the results you want? It may not be strategy that's holding you back - it could be energy.In this episode of Women Leaders on the Move, I talk with Susan Glusica, author of Money Energy Mastery and a stand for unapologetic prosperity. Susan reveals how money is energy, the seven levels of money consciousness, and the three challenges that hold ambitious women back. She shares practical ways to raise your financial frequency so you can attract not only more money, but also more meaning and joy.From writing a love letter to money to creating an environment that elevates your energy, you'll discover how small shifts can lead to exponential growth.You don't have to leave money on the table to find alignment. You can have profit and purpose.” – Susan Glusica

Breaking through the barriers that hold you back isn't about changing who you are—it's about changing how you think.What's Really Holding You Back From Leadership Success?The biggest barrier to women's leadership advancement isn't external—it's the fixed mindset that keeps you playing small. Research shows that women hold just 25% of senior leadership positions and face a projected 48-year timeline to reach true parity in executive roles. But here's the game-changer: women leaders who embrace a growth mindset are reshaping their neural pathways and accelerating their path to the C-suite.This question haunts nearly every ambitious woman I meet: "What's really holding me back?" At first glance, it seems obvious—lack of sponsorship, limited opportunities, or not fitting the traditional leadership mold. While these external barriers are real, the most transformative shift happens when we look inward.The truth? Your mindset shapes your reality. The Elizabeth Effect: When Fixed Mindset Becomes Your Career Ceiling Let me share Elizabeth's story—a brilliant, results-driven leader who consistently went above and beyond. Despite her stellar performance, promotions kept slipping away. When she finally asked for feedback, the response was devastating: "You don't have enough executive presence."Sound familiar? Research reveals that executive presence is being redefined in 2025, moving beyond traditional markers like vocal projection to encompass emotional intelligence, adaptability, and authentic leadership.Elizabeth could have accepted this label and remained stuck. Instead, she chose growth. As her executive coach, I helped her identify the specific gaps between her current presence and the executive leadership she aspired to embody. Together, we worked on targeted mindset shifts and executive presence strategies—from reframing her inner dialogue to mastering the art of leading rooms even when she felt uncomfortable.The transformation wasn't just tactical; it was deeply psychological. Within a year of implementing these strategies, Elizabeth wasn't just promoted—she became known as the leader who elevated everyone around her.The turning point? One powerful belief: "I can grow." The Neuroscience Behind Your Leadership Transformation Here's the encouraging truth that every woman leader needs to understand: Your brain is built to adapt. Research from the NeuroLeadership Institute shows that 85% of people can shift from a fixed to growth mindset on a weekly basis when they focus on three key habits: valuing progress, experimenting, and learning from others.Every small choice literally rewires your mind for the future you want. This isn't positive thinking—it's applied neuroscience.Fixed vs. Growth Mindset: The Leadership DifferenceFixed Mindset Says:"This is just how I am""I'm never going to be good at this""I can't make mistakes"Growth Mindset Says:"I'm not there yet, but I can learn""Challenges are opportunities to grow""Mistakes are data for improvement"McKinsey's 2025 research on growth leadership reveals that high-performing companies are led by executives who demonstrate five critical mindsets: prioritizing growth, acting boldly, maintaining customer focus, attracting talent, and executing with rigor.The Ripple Effect: How Your Mindset Transforms EverythingWhen you shift your mindset, the impact cascades through every aspect of your leadership:On Yourself: Confidence Becomes Your Competitive EdgeYour mind shift shapes your confidence. Instead of playing small, you start seizing opportunities that align with your potential.On Your Team: Culture Becomes Your LegacyYou set the tone—is it safe to try and learn, or are people afraid to fail? Google's Project Aristotle confirmed that psychological safety, directly linked to growth mindset leadership, is the foundation of innovative teams.On Your Results: Growth Becomes Your GPSYou determine whether you seize opportunities or stay stuck in familiar territory.

Listen in and feel heard, by the story of a woman who dedicates her work tirelessly to improve the positioning of women in leadership.When she started her career in corporate banking, and quickly moved through the ranks, to become a high-performer, Dr. Anino Emuwa noticed deeply rooted biases, when she became a mother, despite continuously presenting excellent results. She shares how she had to try hard to convince her colleagues, that she will not be working less, but differently and that everyone will need to get flexible. She realized how in general systematic issues beyond individual performance were holding women back.Dr. Anino shifted her focus to improving global business and society through gender equality leadership.She shares how she organically grew her global community 100 Women @ Davos including women from 109 countries. And emphsizes how change and shifts only happen when people work together towards a united goal and with a united purpose: full representation of women in leadership (even though at current pace this will approximately take another 200 years ...).She talks about barriers to women's leadership: historical workplace structures, socialization of both men and women in traditional roles, organisational policies and cultures that don't reward assertiveness in women, need for equipping women with knowledge and networks. We also discuss how men in leadership need to actively speak out and challenge hierarchical norms - still too little  men are vocal to drive significant change. Dr. Anino is a global expert on women's leadership and works at the intersection of emerging technologies, entrepreneurship and inclusion. She serves on the boards of several organisations, ,is a LinkedIn top voice on gender equity and a TEDx speaker. She served as a judge, coach and regional leader for the Cartier Women's Initiative.####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Veronica Blanco, Director of Human Resources, from Innovative Produce to talk about growth, leadership, and the power of community in the ag industry. From being the first in her family to graduate college to stepping into leadership roles, Veronica reflects on the importance of mentorship, staying positive, and telling the real story of agriculture. She opens up about the challenges of stepping outside her comfort zone and the value of connecting with like-minded professionals through industry forums and programs. She also talks about how organizations like United Ag, programs like the Ambassador Program, and the supportive culture at Innovative Produce have allowed her to explore critical issues like access to care, mental health, and employee wellbeing — all while developing as a leader.Veronica opens up about the powerful role models in her life, beginning with her mother, whose positivity, work ethic, and belief in education laid the foundation for Veronica's success. She also speaks deeply about the impact of colleagues like Amy Wolfe, who have offered not only support but also constructive challenge — helping her shift perspectives, make hard decisions, and grow stronger in the face of transition.These relationships have built a sense of purpose and belonging, and Veronica has been intentional about passing on what she's learned. She reflects on the responsibility to share ag's story more clearly, especially the good that often goes unseen. Whether working behind the scenes or stepping up to public-facing roles, Veronica emphasizes the importance of staying positive, focusing on what's within your control, and surrounding yourself with people who believe in doing good work for good people.Whether you're in ag or any other industry, this conversation is a reminder that great people and strong values can shape your path in powerful ways.Innovative Produce: https://innovativeproduce.com/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Veronica Blanco, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us
