At some point, every ambitious woman faces a moment that tests who she really is. When the title disappears, the safety net falls away, and all that’s left is her own voice. For Andy McNicol, that moment came after 22 years inside one of the most powerful talent agencies in the world. Laid off in the middle of a pandemic and preparing to become a single mom by choice, she had to decide whether to chase another job… or finally build something that was entirely her own.What happened next wasn’t just a career pivot.

There’s a moment every woman hits, that quiet breaking point between what the world expects of us and what we know we deserve. For Lisa Myers, that moment came somewhere between court filings, breast pumps, and 3 A.M. feedings. The world had innovated for everyone else except working moms.Lisa didn’t have an engineering degree, a trust fund, or an army of advisors. What she had was an idea and the audacity to believe she could build it herself. That spark became Ceres Chill, a company changing how women move through motherhood, work, and life.But this isn’t just Lisa’s story. It’s every woman’s story. The one where we’re told to stay quiet, be humble, play nice, and wait our turn. And like Lisa, it’s about what happens when we stop waiting and start building.Key Takeaways:- Success is creating something that helps women live and lead on their own terms.- You don’t need permission to start.- Talking about what you’ve built isn’t showing off — it’s showing what’s possible.- Community is the real engine of success.- Disruption starts with one woman saying, “This isn’t good enough.”Learn More About Lisa:Website: cereschill.comLinkedIn: Lisa MyersInstagram: @cereschillAbout Our Guest:Lisa Myers is the Founder of Ceres Chill, a company dedicated to ensuring the success of breastfeeding parents and the health of the world’s most vulnerable infants.

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.

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.

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. Now, she’s rewriting the narrative around clean energy, using her platform to cut through fear, misinformation, and bad branding.Because the truth is, women are tired of being talked down to, especially when it comes to science, technology, and the future of our planet. We don’t need dumbing down. We need clarity, courage, and creators like Isabelle who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo.Key Takeaways:The cultural baggage nuclear energy carries, and how Isabelle is unraveling it with education and edgeWhy nuclear is actually the safest and cleanest form of energyHow Isabelle turned curiosity into a movement — and a characterWhy storytelling, branding, and bold visuals in science matter more than ever The worst advice Isabelle ever got and why being “cringe” is the key to building anything worthwhileLearn More About Isabelle:Website: isodope.comInstagram: @isabelleboemekeX: @isabelleboemekeBook: Rad FutureAbout Our GuestIsabelle Boemeke is the Founder and Executive Director of Save Clean Energy and the creator of the online persona Isodope.

Lisa Chastain did everything “right.” The career, the marriage, the house, the 401k. But behind the scenes, she was unraveling financially and emotionally.

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.
