This week, Shawna and LaLa discuss the unbelievable story of a husband who reportedly discovered his wife was cheating through Google Earth. That leads to a bigger conversation about the picture-perfect lives people create online—and why you shouldn't believe everything you see on Facebook or social media.They also talk about people who constantly start new businesses, claim they're going to become millionaires, and promote every new idea as the “best business ever.” Is it genuine confidence and ambition, or are they more focused on looking successful online than actually becoming successful?Then, Shawna sits down with Kerrie Lee Brown, former Editor-in-Chief of SUCCESS Magazine, to discuss her 30 year career in media, the lessons she has learned, and her new company, The Lioness Global Initiative.

What if the life you worked so hard to build no longer feels aligned with who you're becoming?In Part One of the ICON Series, Allison Walsh explores the powerful process of reinvention and what it means to intentionally create your next chapter. From career changes and entrepreneurship to identity, personal growth, and finding greater alignment, Allison shares the lessons she has learned through her own seasons of reinvention—and why starting again does not mean starting from scratch.You may have the career, business, title, recognition, or stability you once dreamed about, yet still feel like something is missing. If you've been asking yourself, “Is this still right for me?”, this episode will help you recognize the difference between simply being successful and being truly aligned with the life you're building.In This Episode, Allison Explores:The 4 signs that you may be ready for reinventionWhy success can stop feeling like alignmentHow gratitude and growth can exist at the same timeWhy your identity can become limiting when it is tied too closely to a title or roleThe difference between being capable of something and being called to continue doing itWhy working harder isn't always the answer when something no longer fitsHow to recognize whether a difficult season is developing you or depleting youWhat to do when your future requires more space than your current life can holdHow to conduct an intentional reinvention auditWhat you should honor, release, carry forward, and practice nowWhy you don't have to burn down your current life to begin creating your next chapterHow to start building your next career, business, or opportunity before you're ready to make the leapThe Reinvention AuditIf you're in a season of change, Allison challenges you to evaluate four things:HONOR — What has this chapter given you?RELEASE — What no longer fits?CARRY FORWARD — What experience, skills, relationships, reputation, and strengths are you taking with you?PRACTICE NOW — What decision can you make today that reflects the woman you're becoming?You don't need to map out the next five years. You simply need to get honest about your next right move.Your Challenge This WeekTake a few minutes to complete your own reinvention audit.Write down four headings:Honor. Release. Carry Forward. Practice Now.You don't need to figure out your entire future. Start by telling yourself the truth about what no longer fits and identifying one decision that moves you toward your next chapter.Because reinvention isn't about becoming someone entirely different.It's about becoming a more complete expression of who you've been becoming all along. About the ICON SeriesICON stands for Intention, Create, Own, Next—a series about intentionally creating your next incredible chapter.This episode is Part One, focused on intention and reinvention.In the next episode, Allison will explore how you can turn everything you've lived and learned into something that creates value, impact, and opportunity for others.

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?Jennifer: My superpower is really resilience and never giving up. Through all the trials and tribulations that we all go through in life; I never lose hope and never give up on my dreams.Tampon Tribe is proving that certified organic, plastic-free period products can become a fast-growing business when impact, community and product integrity stay at the center.I welcomed Jennifer Eden, co-founder and CEO of Tampon Tribe, back to Superpowers for Good to celebrate the company's Purpose Built 100 recognition. Tampon Tribe ranked number 10 overall, number 2 among environmental solutions and number 2 among women founder CEOs. That recognition reflects both growth and mission.Jennifer explained that the company began with two pillars: health and the environment. After struggling with endometriosis, she found that switching products changed her own experience. That personal discovery became the basis for a company now working to eliminate toxins, man-made materials and plastics from period care.“We don't compromise,” Jennifer told me. “We don't use any additives, we don't use any chemicals, any toxins, any waxes, any glues, any perfumes, any dyes or any plastics.”She also shared a major milestone: Tampon Tribe recently became GOTS-certified organic as a company. Jennifer emphasized that this certification goes beyond cotton quality. “It's an entire impact certification from seed to shelf,” she said, noting that it considers fair work practices, water use and environmental impact.The product line has grown from tampons to include pads, liners, reusable pads, menstrual cups, period underwear and wellness items. Jennifer sees the company becoming a trusted resource across the full life cycle for people who get periods, including tweens and teens preparing for a first period.One of the most compelling parts of the story is how community helped build the business. Tampon Tribe began with an Indiegogo campaign, then used regulated investment crowdfunding on Wefunder and debt crowdfunding through SMBX. I'm proud to be an investor.

Send us Fan MailFor the first time in seven Renaissance Women's Summits, I walked away feeling like this wasn't the culmination of everything we had been building.It was the beginning.There is so much ahead.For years, I've continued moving forward with this vision even during seasons when I wasn't completely sure where it was leading. And this year, something clicked. All of those years of moving forward without having perfect clarity created the clarity and confidence I have now about where Renaissance Women is going.In this episode, I'm taking you inside the 2026 Renaissance Women's Summit at Riverwood Mansion—the room, the women, the conversations, the moments that surprised me, and what I learned from hosting our seventh Summit.I'm sharing some of my biggest takeaways about building a business and brand that feels authentically YOU, doing the things that scare you, learning how to pivot when things inevitably don't go according to plan, and remembering to deeply pour into the people who have already chosen to show up for you.Because this year, the women in the room weren't simply the audience.They were the event.Their businesses. Their dreams. Their questions. Their vulnerability. Their willingness to connect and be seen.And that realization leads directly into what comes next.At the Summit, we officially launched Renaissance Women, and today I finally get to introduce it to our podcast community.Renaissance Women is a social media and visibility-forward community for women founders who want to become known for what they do.Because visibility creates opportunity.This isn't about becoming an influencer. It's about becoming known—for your expertise, for the problem you solve, for the business you're building, and by the people you're meant to serve.Inside Renaissance Women, we're bringing together social media strategy, content, messaging, visibility, coaching, accountability, real relationships, and in-person experiences to help women stop building alone and start becoming more visible alongside women who get it.The Summit is no longer the destination.It's the launching pad.The podcast, the community, the Summit, and everything we're building from here are becoming one Renaissance Women ecosystem—and I have never felt more certain about where we're going.If you've been listening to this podcast and wishing you could take the conversation beyond your headphones and actually be in community with us, this is your invitation.❤️ JOIN THE RENAISSANCE WOMEN COMMUNITY:And to every woman who walked through the doors of Riverwood Mansion, every speaker who poured into our women, my incredible team, and every partner who believed in this vision: thank you.A special thank-you to our 2026 Summit partners and sponsors: Entreprenista, Gift House, Myrrh Candle Co., STAT Wellness, ILA, Kate Tran, Amplify Boutique, Asulon Coffee, Edit Rentals, Juno, Bach Babes, Lifestyle by LeBlanc, R Public Relations Firm, The Legal Apothecary, Anchor, Southern Domestic Diva, NexusPoint, and Hey Hey Creative.The Summit was just the beginning.Welcome to Renaissance Women. ❤️Support the showAbout The Host:Sydney Dozier, the visionary behind Renaissance Marketing Group, has been at the forefront of social media excellence since the agency's inception in 2014.

Send us Fan MailBefore she ever picked up the clippers, Andrea, known as FadesxDre, worked inside a male maximum security prison in Texas.In Part 1, Crispin sits down with Andrea for her second time on the show. She was one of the very first guests ever, but technical difficulties meant a redo. She grew up between Del Rio, Beeville, and New Mexico, raised mostly by her grandma after her parents separated. Her grandma's faith and her handmade Sonora tortillas were home. By Andrea's own words, there was no direction back then, just survival.Her dad spent his whole career with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. When she needed stability for her daughter, she followed him in. She started in administrative work in Ad Seg, where inmates are locked up 23 hours a day. Then she went through the academy, where the class locked arms and walked into pepper spray together, and put on the uniform as an officer.She explains how she earned respect by being fair and consistent, and why inmates spend their days studying every officer's habits. She also talks about why she went to therapy after years of seeing things most people never will, and why mental health needs to be talked about more in Latino families. Plus Preguntas al Chile, cumbia Tejana, and a couple of unit stories we couldn't stop laughing about.What you'll take away: How consistency and fairness earned her respect in a male max unit What the corrections academy is really like Why being too friendly can cost you your power How one steady person, her grandma, changed everything Why she's normalizing therapy with her own kidsContent note: This episode includes a brief mention of suicide and a discussion of trauma.

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Sego Leadership, formerly known as the Women's Leadership Institute, is built on one belief: Utah thrives when women lead. The organization is committed to elevating women in business and strengthening leadership across Utah. Director of Marketing and Communications, Jen Hunsaker, joins us with more. Jen Hunsaker: When women are elevated into leadership, they elevate Utah's families, businesses and communities. We do this by creating development programs for women and helping companies build workplaces where training sticks. That initiative is called Sego Certified. Utah companies commit to steps that advance women and keep them in the workforce. We work with companies to create improvements that fit its needs and size. Research shows that companies with gender-equitable leadership report higher retention and are 39% more likely to outperform competitors. Sego Certified helps businesses compete while staying true to Utah values. It works because it's practical, safe, and results-focused. Women's leadership isn't about displacing men; it's a multiplier. Companies grow stronger when men and women lead side by side. Through programs like Sego Next, Sego Rising, Sego Leading and Sego Suite, we prepare women across the pipeline, from returning to work to pursuing the C-Suite. Together, these programs help prepare Utah's workforce and companies for the future. Derek Miller: By empowering women to lead, Sego Leadership is strengthening Utah's workforce, economy and future.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to RENAISSANCE WOMEN. Today is officially the beginning of the 2.0 era of this show—and I genuinely cannot think of a better episode to launch it with.If you've been listening to this podcast before today, welcome back. And if this is your first episode, welcome to Renaissance Women: The Podcast—a show for women building businesses, brands, and lives that require them to step outside of their comfort zones, become known for what they do, and build something that supports the woman behind it.And here's what I want you to know from the very beginning:If you're listening, you're already part of this community.You are a Renaissance Woman.This show is an extension of the Renaissance Women community we're building through our podcast, our annual Renaissance Women's Summit, and everything that's coming next.Because I believe we are Renaissance women building Renaissance businesses—and visibility is one of the greatest tools we have to create the opportunities we're praying for.So for the first official episode of this new era, we're picking right back up with Part 2 of The State of Social Media in 2026.In Part 1, I dug into the latest industry research to understand something I've been feeling all year: social media feels different.The tolerance for mediocre content has never been lower.AI has made it easier than ever to create more content, but consumers are becoming increasingly selective about what actually earns their attention. We talked about AI slop, authenticity over production value, founder visibility, and why community and conversation are becoming increasingly important.Today, we're answering the bigger question:So what do we actually DO about it?We're getting into:Why social media is becoming a search engine—and what that means for the content you're creating.Why originality is beginning to matter more than trend chasing.Why I believe the rise of AI will actually make human content MORE valuable, not less.Why short-form video still matters—but production value and content value are not the same thing.Why community, comments, DMs, and actual conversation need to become part of your social strategy.And why I believe the brands that win this next era won't necessarily be the brands creating the most content. They'll be the brands creating content people actually care about.Because here's where I believe we're headed:More specific content. More useful content. More original content. More human content.The barrier to creating content has never been lower.But the barrier to creating content worth someone's attention has never been higher.Welcome to the 2.0 era.Welcome to Renaissance Women.I'm so glad you're here. Let's build something worth being known for.Support the showAbout The Host:Sydney Dozier, the visionary behind Renaissance Marketing Group, has been at the forefront of social media excellence since the agency's inception in 2014.

You've been told to lean in, work harder, and find more hours in the day. Lynn Bromley thinks that advice is the problem. Four terms in the Maine State Senate, New England's Small Business Advocate under the Obama Administration, and author of On the Path to Justice, Lynn joins Elyse to make the case that women don't need empowerment. We need to be unencumbered.You'll learn:- Why being a woman today is like being left-handed in a right-handed world, and what that constant friction actually costs you- The E-Cycle: how showing up extraordinary leads to exhaustion, then to seeking empowerment, then to being further encumbered- Why exhaustion is a symptom of a systemic problem, not evidence that you need a better system- The difference between doing the task and holding the outcome, and why women almost always hold the outcome- The two extra hours of unpaid labor women do every day, and what Lynn's audience said they would do with that time backIf you have been quietly blaming yourself for being tired, this conversation will give you a different explanation. It is not that you are doing it wrong. It is that you are carrying more than anyone is counting.
In part two of my chat with Staci Millard, host of The Small Business School Podcast, we dive into visibility, leadership, personal growth and what it really takes to show up well in business. We talk about how your season of business can shape the way you approach social media, growth and where your energy is best spent. We also get into the behind-the-scenes of building something new, managing imposter syndrome and becoming a stronger leader, while creating habits that help us show up as the best version of ourselves. Catch part 1 if you missed it here! Tune in to hear more about:• Why visibility matters, but should still align with the season your business is in.• How Staci is navigating the uncomfortable process of building software and learning to hold belief in a bigger vision.• Why leadership starts with how you regulate yourself, communicate and show up for your team.• The self-development practices we both prioritize, from sleep and nervous system regulation to movement and mindset.• Why creating energy, confidence and consistency can have such a powerful ripple effect in business and life.Growth asks us to become a different version of ourselves along the way. Whether that means stepping into stronger leadership, sharing more of the journey, protecting our energy or simply believing in ourselves before everyone else can see the vision, the work starts with us.

Authenticity FirstSomeone tells you it's impossible, and your whole body wants to prove them wrong. That's the energy Hetal Gatecha brings to this conversation, and it starts long before business. She shares her fertility journey with raw honesty: years of trying, multiple IUI and IVF rounds, doctors telling her she couldn't conceive naturally, and the grief that hits when hope feels expensive. Then comes the twist that still gives me chills, a final stressful month, a moment of prayer, and a natural pregnancy that changes everything. From there, we widen the lens to what it means to rebuild your life as an immigrant in North America. We talk culture shock, visas, the undervalued reality of being a stay-at-home mom, and how the modern lack of “village” support can leave women carrying too much alone. Hetal also explains the role of extended family and multigenerational living, plus how marriage traditions have shifted across generations, both in the United States and in India. On the entrepreneurship side, Hetal takes us behind the scenes of opening a dental practice with her husband, learning marketing and operations from the ground up, and eventually creating a new model: a dental studio and spa that puts patient comfort and genuine care back at the center. We also get practical about dental insurance, including why “out of network” doesn't always mean what people assume, how to understand your benefits, and when paying a little more can buy you time, trust, and a better experience. If you're balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, building a family business, or trying to figure out whether grit has turned into stubbornness, this one will hit home.

What happens when the life you've built no longer feels fully aligned with who you are becoming?In this episode, Andrea sits down with longtime friend, photographer, entrepreneur, and mindset coach Renee Bowen for a deeply personal conversation about identity, entrepreneurship, healing, and rediscovering your authentic self.Renee shares her unexpected journey from psychology student to award-winning photographer and coach, revealing how entrepreneurship became one of the greatest catalysts for her own personal growth. She discovered that business challenges often have very little to do with strategy—and everything to do with the subconscious beliefs we've carried since childhood.Together, Andrea and Renee explore how early experiences shape our relationship with money, worthiness, creativity, and success. They discuss the importance of curiosity, meditation, nervous system regulation, and Human Design as tools for greater self-awareness and alignment.This conversation offers a powerful reminder that the answers you're searching for are often already within you.

“Fourteen years of conversations. The people who made my journey matter.” In this special 14-Year Celebration episode of Vigilantes Radio Live, Dini sits down with his older sister, Alicia Sjonté Dampier, also known as Chyna, for a deeply personal conversation about faith, fear, entrepreneurship, family, and the courage to begin again.Alicia shares her journey as a wife, mother of two daughters, entrepreneur, owner of Chyna Printz, and founder of the Lady CEO League Association. She opens up about the realities of starting businesses, stopping, procrastinating, rebuilding, and learning how to keep moving even when fear is present.The conversation explores what it means to “do it afraid,” how faith guides her decisions, the difference between being busy and building something profitable, and why so many women allow fear, perfectionism, or self-doubt to delay the businesses and dreams they know they are capable of pursuing.Dini and Alicia also reflect on growing up as brother and sister, how adulthood has changed their understanding of family, what motherhood has taught Alicia about strength, and the legacy she hopes to leave for her daughters.This episode is about more than entrepreneurship. It is about becoming the woman you were called to be before you feel completely ready.Facebook: Lady CEO League Association IG: Lady CEO League Association TikTok: Lady CEO League Association Facebook: Chyna Printz IG: Chyna Printz TikTok: Chyna Printz www.chynaprintz.comLady CEO League Association is getting ready to launch open membership.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/vigilantes-radio-live--2166168/support.Vigilantes Radio Live! by The Only One Media Group ℗©2025Episode Credits:Produced, edited, mixed, and written by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Artwork designed by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Show Introduction by KateSegment jingles composed & produced by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Additional music licensed through 7th Sign RecordingsLinks:onlyonemediagroup.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vigilantesradio/https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-vigilantes-radio-live-29999229/https://www.instagram.com/whodiniblakin3d/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26009230/To support our show, please leave reviews, ratings, or you can help fuel the passion over at buymeacoffee.com/vigilantesradioEmail us at onlyonemgt@gmail.com or vradio@onlyonemediagroup.com
When Lella Sá was seven years old, she learned to meditate with her grandmother, which was the beginning of a spiritual journey that has guided her through multiple expressions of her calling; from modeling, to event management, to biographical counselling, to motherhood, to running a Waldorf school. She now serves as a culture change and productivity consultant focused on what she calls Matrifocial Leadership. Today we explore how Lella's in-depth practice of menstrual cycle awareness influences and inspires her work supporting women to lead through Maitrifocal practices that honour life. We chat about what could become possible if we all embodied this life-affirming form of leadership, personally and collectively, as well as some of the obstacles that get in the way. We explore:How to work in sync with our biology, our biography and our responsibility as humans living in this epoch, by embodying the wisdom of ‘life before performance'. How cycle awareness and aligning with natural rhythms helps us to cultivate a new, healthy relationship with time, by using our bodies as leadership infrastructure. How indigenous cyclical wisdom can teach us about the practice of sufficiency, which is vital to putting life at the centre of our work, and to work through stewardship and collaboration instead of domination and competition. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Minda Harts grew up working the counter at a Dairy Queen to help cover her family's utility bills, and she climbed her way to the corporate career she'd always dreamed of. But being one of the only Black women in the room wore her down in small ways that piled up over ten years, until she found herself sitting in a parking lot, crying, and neglecting her health despite having "made it." On this episode of She Pivots, Minda talks about the breaking point that led her to start a blog just to get her thoughts out–a blog that grew into the bestselling book The Memo, three more books, a film in festivals, and a teaching career at NYU. Recorded live in front of a room full of women media-builders at The Riveter's Gathering summit in Washington D.C., this conversation traces how Minda went from dimming her own light to building the trust-focused career she never had.

How does ADHD manifest uniquely in women across their lifespan, and why are so many high-achieving professionals being missed or misdiagnosed? In this episode of Overcoming Distractions, Dave talks with Dr. Jolene Brighten, naturopathic endocrinologist, nutrition scientist, and author of "ADHD and Women" to unpack the often-overlooked nuances of neurodivergence in female professionals. Dr. Brighten shares her insights as a late-diagnosed "AuDHDer," explaining how hormonal shifts, cultural expectations, and internalized hyperactivity create distinct challenges for women in business, health, and daily life. **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one?

Building a business while caring for others can be deeply meaningful work, but it can also come at a cost if your own well-being is left behind. It can be easy to get absorbed in caring for others and accidentally lose focus on your own personal needs in the process. Shulamit experienced this firsthand. In this episode, Shulamit Ber Levtov shares her unconventional path into therapy, from activism, graduating with a Master's degree at 48, and building a thriving group practice in a rural community. She opens up about the realities of entrepreneurship, the mental health challenges that led her to step away from group practice ownership, and why sustainable success starts with taking care of yourself first. Join us for an insightful discussion! MEET SHULAMIT Shulamit is known as The Entrepreneurs' Therapist. She's the mental health professional you hire when you're a woman business owner, and you want to build the internal steadiness--for your emotions and your money psychology-- to lead effectively through the uncertainty, weight, and complexity of running a business. Shulamit has been an entrepreneur for over 27 years and has more than 22 years of professional experience supporting women's mental health and personal growth. As a trauma survivor and Master's-level trauma therapist, with certifications in Dare To Lead™, Trauma of Money®, and Financial Social Work as well as somatic parts therapy, Shula brings a unique perspective and approach to supporting women in business. Learn more about Shulamit on her website, LinkedIn, and Instagram profiles. In this episode: Graduating with a Master's at 48! Evergreen marketing strategies Going from group private practice to solo Shula's plans for the future Final takeaways for listeners Graduating with a Master's at 48! Shulamit's story is an adventurous and inspiring one. Shula explains how her mother was an activist, and that this type of work was prominent in her family lineage throughout her life. That, she explains, impacted how she wanted to contribute to the community around her, leading her to study Social Work. However, after arguing with a professor about socialism and fighting on behalf of people who need to be paid a living wage, she was dropped from the programme because her grades (from this professor's class) pulled her average too low. While Shula had attempted to complete her Master's degree twice before, this was the moment in her life, decades after that Social Work course, that she decided to bring everything together and really go for it. Evergreen marketing strategies Back in 2012, after Shula graduated with her Master's and began her path to private practice, she decided on a location that (at the time) had relatively few therapists and counsellors. Therefore, pre-COVID, Shula was marketing her brick-and-mortar group private practice in a small town that had a strong need for therapy services. What worked for her and her business then did not always continue to work post-COVID and into the online world. So, Shulamit's main advice for consistently successful marketing is to be present and create deep connections with the community, whether that's in-person, online in videos on social media, or both. Going from group private practice to solo Shulamit explains that this is the reason why she's the entrepreneur's therapist: she went on a personal journey from group private practice to a solo business owner for her own well-being. Shula came to realize that either she leaves her business or continues to suffer with poor mental health, and she chose her mental health. Shula recognized that her associates were depending on her to bring in clients for the business to prosper, and for them to have an income as well. But, when she understood the depth of her struggle, she had to remove herself from the practice and allow someone else to take her place to stop her entire team from suffering as well. Shula's plans for the future In two words, here are Shulamit's goals for the future of her practice: sustainability and growth. Sustainability for her solo practice, to continue to see her clients and sustain herself in the process, growth for the profession, and expansion in the research of caring for entrepreneurs. As she continues to experiment and as the digital work continues to change, she's committed to finding strategies that will be evergreen. Final takeaways for listeners Shulamit wants you to take care of yourself. Don't let your mental, physical, and emotional well-being be an afterthought. So, take a regular temperature check on yourself once a week, or every now and then at least, to figure out what you are feeling, why, and how to help yourself move forward with less stress. Secondly, don't let the nature of the work make you feel like you are failing. The work is hard because it is inherently hard, and not because you can't do it. You can.

What if the key to a more impactful 2027 is the work you do before the new year begins? In this amazing episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison Walsh sits down with Carolina Flores to take you behind the vision for Iconic Impact, an intentional experience created for ambitious women, entrepreneurs, leaders, thought leaders, and change-makers who are ready to create their next incredible chapter. Allison and Carolina explore what it means to honor where you are while still being ambitious about where you're going. They dive into alignment, mindset, personal branding, visibility, leadership, influence, and the importance of channeling ambition in a direction that creates meaningful impact—not simply doing more because you feel like you should. They also talk about why Q4 is the perfect time to start preparing for 2027. Instead of waiting until January 1 to set goals, this is an opportunity to reflect on what worked, what didn't, what you want more of, what you're ready to release, and what you need to put in place now to enter the new year with clarity and momentum. For women who have spent years building behind the scenes, Allison and Carolina also explore the next step of becoming more visible. Whether you're growing a business, advancing your career, building a personal brand, leading a nonprofit, or expanding your influence, visibility can help you take the expertise and experience you've already built and turn it into greater impact. And then there's the power of community. Iconic Impact was created to bring together ambitious women who understand what it means to build something meaningful—and who believe that success becomes even more powerful when we use it to support, champion, and create opportunities for other women. From the incredible speaker lineup to the hands-on Impact Lab, meaningful connections, and the new Impact Grants supporting women entrepreneurs and nonprofit leaders, Allison and Carolina share what makes this experience different and why every detail has been created with intention. If you're ready to strengthen your visibility, expand your influence, connect with women who understand the journey, and create a more intentional next chapter, this conversation will give you a glimpse of what's waiting for you at Iconic Impact. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Q4 is the perfect time to prepare for a more impactful 2027 How to align your ambition with your purpose and values Why ambitious women often compare themselves to their own expectations How to move beyond comparison and focus on meaningful impact Why personal branding and visibility matter for your next level How women can turn their expertise into greater influence The importance of building a strong community around you Why you don't have to build your business or career alone How to recognize when you're ready for your next chapter What to expect from the Iconic Impact experience How Impact Lab will help women strengthen their visibility and create content How the Iconic Impact Grants will support emerging founders and nonprofit leaders Why investing in women creates a ripple effect of meaningful change How to think about your legacy and the women coming behind you Join Us at Iconic Impact Ready to create your next incredible chapter?

Send us Fan MailSomething feels different about social media in 2026. The tone, the energy, the way people are consuming content—and if you're a business owner, you've probably felt the shift too.I've been talking all year about why I believe the future of social is more human, more relational, and less dependent on perfectly polished content. But I wanted to know: does the research actually back that up?So I dug into the latest industry data, and some of these stats are FASCINATING.In Part 1, we're talking about the rise of “AI slop,” why consumers are becoming more selective about what earns their attention, the growing value of authenticity over production value, why founder visibility is becoming a real business asset, and why community management is so much bigger than responding to comments.The opportunity on social media has never been larger—but the tolerance for mediocre content has never been lower.If you're trying to figure out what's actually working right now and how your business should evolve with it, this episode is for you.✨ Ready to build your Renaissance?Join Sydney and 100+ women entrepreneurs in Nashville at the Renaissance Women's Summit on September 10th: renaissancewomenssummit.comAnd if you're ready for support building a social media presence that actually moves your business forward, learn more about working with Renaissance Marketing Group: renaissancemarketinggroup.comSupport the showAbout The Host:Sydney Dozier, the visionary behind Renaissance Marketing Group, has been at the forefront of social media excellence since the agency's inception in 2014.

Most people walk out of an event and decide the room was a flop. Very few of them stop to ask whether they actually did their part.In this episode, Haley sits down with Inbal Claudio — an event and membership strategist who helps female founders create profitable in-person experiences that people actually show up for. Inbal is the founder of Like Minded, an in-person community and coworking space for women in business in Orange County, and the creator of The IRL Effect, her framework for turning real-life connection into recurring revenue. She's hosted roughly 140 in-person events over the last three years, which means she isn't theorizing about what makes a room work.The conversation takes the topic from both sides of the table. First from the seat of the attendee — what you're actually responsible for when you walk through the door, why "it didn't work for me" is usually a vetting problem, and the one line Inbal uses at every event she attends that opens a conversation every single time. Then it flips to the host's chair: how to start smaller than your ego wants you to, why what you host doesn't have to match what you sell, and the money conversation most women hosting events are avoiding entirely.In this episode we get into:Radical responsibility as an attendee — vetting the room, knowing what you're actually there for, and being present once you're in itThe one line that makes walking into a room of strangers survivable, even for introvertsWhat separates an actual community from an audience, and why "community" has lost its meaningStarting smaller than your ego wants you to, and why what you host doesn't have to match what you sellThe case for charging — and why the women who don't charge tend to spend the mostMentioned in this episode:Like Minded Live — Costa Mesa, October 2nd. *Code HALEY10 saves 10%!Connect with Inbal:Instagram: @inbalclaudioWebsite: www.inbalclaudio.comConnect with Haley:Instagram: @thehaleywestfallWebsite: www.haleywestfall.comTikTok: @thehaleywestfallLinkedIn: Haley WestfallSubscribe to The Weekly PourGrab your ticket to The Table Experience 2027 | Feb 5-6, 2027 in Phoenix, Arizona

What if you don't need to do more to create greater momentum? What if you need to pull back long enough to see what is working, what no longer belongs, and what deserves your full energy next? After a wonderfully full—and admittedly wild—summer, Allison began looking at her business through a different lens. She created space, ruthlessly evaluated what the company was carrying, and established extreme clarity for herself and her team around the next chapter of She Believed She Could. In this episode, Allison shares the three decisions that are reshaping the remainder of her year and challenges listeners to consider whether constant movement is taking them closer to the future they want—or simply keeping them busy. This conversation is for the woman with a full calendar, a growing vision, and the sense that something needs to become clearer before she moves forward. Memorable Moments From the Episode “There was only one week all summer that we were home for the whole week. It was a lot, but it's also what I prayed for. I'm incredibly grateful that we were able to do so many things together as a family.” “What if the most powerful thing you could do to move forward is pull back—not quit, not abandon the vision, but intentionally create enough space to see what's actually working and what no longer deserves your energy?” “We convince ourselves that movement is momentum, but they are not the same thing. You can be moving constantly and still not be moving in the right direction. You can have a full calendar and an empty strategy.” “Creating space can save you months or even years of pursuing the wrong priorities. White space is not wasted space. White space is where we reconnect with the vision.” “Where do I need to stop pushing long enough to see clearly? Maybe you need to stop saying yes to every opportunity and determine which ones actually support the future you want.” “Sometimes we pull back because we're afraid, but sometimes we pull back because we're preparing to leap—and those are two completely different things.” “For every part of our business, I began placing it into one of four categories: Do we keep it, merge it, pause it, or eliminate it? Growth is not always about addition. Very often, growth requires subtraction.” “Sometimes the bravest decision is to acknowledge that something was right for a previous season, but it isn't necessarily right for the next one. History is not always a reason to continue.” “We're building an integrated ecosystem that supports ambitious, impact-driven women through a clear path that strengthens five areas of growth: mindset, messaging, marketing, monetization, and momentum.” “Clarity does not mean knowing every step. It means knowing the next right step and being willing to take it. ICONIC stands for Intentionally Creating Our Next Incredible Chapters—and that's exactly what this season represents to me.” Ready to Create Clarity Around Your Next Move?
