There comes a moment for every ambitious woman when the grind no longer feels like growth. When the late nights, the accolades, and the endless “yeses” stop feeling like success and start feeling like survival.For Sehreen Noor Ali, that moment became a turning point. A venture-backed founder who had built her reputation in the fast-moving world of AI and startups, Sehreen had done everything “right.” Until life forced her to stop. And in that stillness, she discovered something most women never get the chance to find: space.Space to ask what do I really want?Space to imagine ambition that includes family, health, and joy.Space to say no without apology.Her story is a mirror for every woman who’s ever been told to keep pushing, keep performing, keep proving her worth. It’s proof that success doesn’t have to mean burnout and that the most radical thing a woman can do is redefine what achievement looks like on her own terms.Key Takeaways:Saying “no” is often the most powerful yes to yourself.Burnout can be the catalyst for a more aligned, intentional career.You don’t have to be an AI expert, just AI literate for the expert you already are.Mindset shifts can redefine what success looks like in every season of life.You can build ambition and balance if you make space for both.Learn More About Sehreen:LinkedIn: Sehreen Noor AliWebsite: sehreen.comAbout Our Guest:Sehreen Noor Ali spent years launching startups, most recently co-founding Sleuth, a Fast Company award winning platform that used crowdsourced data and AI to rethink how we approach children’s health.

For too long, women have been told to “just deal with it” when it comes to menopause. Symptoms dismissed, pain minimized, hormones ignored. Joanna Strober wasn’t willing to accept that, and she’s making sure the rest of us don’t have to either.As the co-founder and CEO of Midi Health, Joanna is rewriting the rules for women’s healthcare. Menopause isn’t a niche issue. It’s a universal experience for women. And yet the system wasn’t built for us. Joanna’s story is about building power in an overlooked market, creating access where there was none, and showing that women’s health is not only necessary, it’s non-negotiable.Key Takeaways:The best time to optimize women’s health is nowHow Joanna turned her personal health struggles into a national companyThe myths about perimenopause and menopause that are holding women backWomen need choices, not gatekeepers, when it comes to their healthMenopause is inevitable, but suffering through it doesn’t have to beLearn More About Joanna:Website: joinmidi.comLinkedIn: Joanna StroberInstagram: @joannastroberAbout Our Guest:Joanna Strober is a visionary healthcare leader and CEO/co-founder of Midi Health, the fastest-growing national telehealth clinic transforming how women navigate menopause and midlife.

Julie Bornstein was told she didn’t fit the mold of a founder. That the venture world doesn’t fund women at scale. That maybe she’d missed her chance.

Hannah Habes didn’t set out to spark a matcha movement. She set out to heal herself. What started as a personal health journey became the foundation for Matchaful, a brand that’s grown from Hannah biking around New York with a backpack full of matcha to seven thriving cafes and a wholesale business across the U.S.Too often, women are told to play it safe.

So many women spend years building a life that looks good on paper—degrees earned, careers established, families raised—while quietly carrying the weight of survival. We push harder, achieve more, and numb the rest. Until one moment demands we face the truth: this isn’t happiness.For Shamina Taylor, that moment came on a yoga mat in 2013 when she found herself unraveling in the stillness she had always avoided. That breakdown became a breakthrough. She turned her pain into purpose, her hustle into harmony, and her scarcity into abundance. Her story isn’t just about one woman’s wealth. It’s about the power of women everywhere to step into their own.Key Takeaways:Operating solely in masculine “do mode” keeps women in survival cycles.Wealth consciousness isn’t about saving every penny; it’s about identity shifts.Fear disguises itself as safety; intuition requires nervous system regulation.Investing in yourself accelerates growth and collapses timelines.When women rise in abundance, they change generations.Learn More About Shamina:Website: shaminataylor.comInstagram: @shaminataylorPodcast: The Unapologetically Rich ShowYouTube: @shaminataylorBook: Unlocking The Quantum WomanEvent: The Wealth Consciousness Experience 2025About Our Guest:Shamina Taylor—former attorney turned Wealth Consciousness Mentor, bestselling author, mother of two and host of top rated podcast The Unapologetically Rich Show dedicated to normalizing big money for women.

What happens when women dare to question the systems designed to keep them small? Julianna Glasse knows firsthand. Once a Christian pop singer at the center of evangelical culture, she walked away from it all after realizing the cost of her silence and submission. When a man in her church sneered, “This is what happens when women read,” Julianna turned that insult into a global movement to reclaim the inherent worth of women and dismantle the internalized fear and shame that keeps them trapped.But her story isn’t just about leaving religion. It’s about what every woman faces when she decides her worth isn’t defined by anyone else. It’s about courage, liberation, and the radical act of self-actualization.Key Takeaways:Women who refuse silence change everythingAutonomy is non-negotiableSystems built on control crumble when women riseOppression wears many facesWhen one woman rises, she gives others the courage to do the sameLearn More About Julianna:Website: thisiswhathappenswhenwomenread.orgInstagram: @juliannaglasseLinkedIn: Julianna GlasseAbout Our Guest:Julianna Glasse is a dynamic thought leader, and the Founder and CEO of This Is What Happens When Women Read, a global initiative advancing women’s liberation through education and safe community.

Isabelle Boemeke walked away from modeling and into the belly of one of the most misunderstood industries on the planet: nuclear energy. Not because it was trendy, but because it mattered.

Rachel Sklar didn’t set out to become the godmother of modern women’s networking — she was just pissed off. Frustrated by the constant erasure of women in media and tech, she did what a lot of smart women do: she wrote an email. But unlike most emails, this one sparked a movement. Women have always known how to build in the margins — around systems, despite gatekeepers, and without the credit. Rachel just decided to make it impossible to ignore. Because when women back each other, we don’t just change the conversation. We change the entire game.Key Takeaways:How frustration became fuel for Rachel’s most successful venturesThe power of introductions, visibility, and building value into your networkWhy representation isn’t a favor — it’s strategyThe art of saying “no” to unpaid labor and “yes” to building powerHow Rachel’s new podcast Hi, Smart Friend! is spotlighting voices you need to hearLearn More About Rachel:Instagram: @rachelsklarLinkedIn: Rachel SklarPodcast: Hi, Smart Friend!X: @rachelsklarAbout Our GuestRachel Sklar is a writer and entrepreneur based in New York.

What happens when you build something with your whole heart and still get written out of the story? Maria Goy had the resume. Fortune 500 exec. Tech and ops specialist. She co-founded a company that raised over $40 million, scaled it over years, stepped into the CEO seat, and still managed to stay rooted in purpose. But somewhere along the way, what she built started slipping out of her hands. Decisions got made in rooms she wasn’t fully in. Advice turned into directives. Passion was called emotion. And in the moments that mattered most, no one stood up. Not even the people who should have. Contracts matter. Representation matters. And your truth matters most of all.Key Takeaways:The importance of having your own lawyer, even if you trust your co-founderHow gender bias shows up in “feedback” like being called emotionalWhy the wrong board can feel more like a trap than a teamHow to protect your truth on paper and in the roomWhy walking away with nothing can still be the most powerful moveLearn More About Maria:LinkedIn: Maria GoyAbout Our GuestMaria Goy is a seasoned executive with extensive corporate and entrepreneurial experience.

What if burnout wasn’t a breakdown — but a wake-up call to build something entirely new? The more you work, the better you are. That’s what hustle culture tells us. For Tai Beauchamp, the hustle started early. At 25, she was a beauty editor at the top of her game, the first Black Beauty and Fitness Director at Seventeen Magazine, and checking every box of success. But behind the scenes? She was burned out, overwhelmed, and running on empty. Something had to change, and in the process, a daily hike turned into a global movement.Key Takeaways:The origin of Morning Mindset with Tai and its global growthLearning to live from the inside out — not the to-do listBuilding a scalable model for impact without burning outCreating community experiences that actually transformWhy saying no (without guilt) is a business strategyLearn More About Tai:Instagram: @taibeauLinkedIn: Tai BeauchampWebsite: morningmindsetwithtai.comInstagram: @morningmindsetwithtaiAbout Our GuestTai Beauchamp is an award-winning TV host, producer, visionary wellness & lifestyle expert, and multifaceted entrepreneur.

Did you know a girl’s confidence can drop by 20% between the ages of 13 and 18? After talking to Illana Raia, founder and CEO of Être, I can’t stop thinking about how we can change that.

She’s putting them in boardrooms, letting them ask bold, unfiltered questions about pay, power, and leadership—and companies are listening.

That’s how we build the next generation of fearless women.Key Takeaways:Learn why confidence starts in middle school, not the workplace.Reasons it's never too early to start being who you want to be.Why seeing a woman lead makes leadership feel possible.Discover how the confidence gap becomes the compensation gap if we ignore it.How girls ask better questions when we let them in the room.Learn More About Illana Raia & Être:Websites: https://www.illanaraia.com/ & https://www.etregirls.com/Follow the Hello Sunshine Teen Advisory Board: https://hello-sunshine.com/teen/LinkedIn:@illana-raia & @être-girlsInstagram, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Facebook: @Etregirls Read The Epic Mentor Guide and  Être: Girls, Who Do You Want To Be?About Our Guest Named one of the first 250 entrepreneurs on the Forbes Next 1000 List, an Inc. 500 Female Founder, and recognized twice by Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas, Illana Raia is the founder and CEO of Être - a mentorship platform for girls.

What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of resources, but the belief you need to have it all figured out first? My conversation with Georgia Dant, founder and CEO of Marfa Stance, was a masterclass in trusting your vision before anyone else can see it. She didn’t wait for a perfect plan or external validation—she launched Marfa Stance mid-air, literally.

Ever wonder why some startups get millions while others with just as much potential struggle to raise a dime? That’s what hit me hard in my conversation with Beth Ferreira, General Partner at Serena Ventures. It’s not just about having a great idea.

So dream bigger, plan smarter, and own the room.Key Takeaways:Why product-market fit matters more than passion alone.The truth about equity, dilution, and returning the whole fund.How to choose investors who back your vision—not just your valuation.Why you need to start using AI now if you want to stay competitive.Only you get to define what success looks like.Learn More About Beth Ferreira & Serena Ventures:Website: https://www.serenaventures.com/LinkedIn: @bethmferreiraInstagram: @serena.venturesAbout Our Guest Beth Ferreira is a General Partner at Serena Ventures, where she invests in early-stage companies that empower everyday people.
