  • Smart business women listen to this show

    Melinda has a way of creating the kind of conversations women entrepreneurs actually want to be a part of. There’s a really good mix of business, personal growth, leadership, and the VERY real experience of building something of your own. I really appreciate how she gives women founders space to talk about more than strategy and gets into the person behind the business too. Such a valuable show for women building their own version of success!

  • Fear to Freedom: Transforming from the Inside Out

    This episode was a moving reminder that real transformation doesn’t come from adding effort, it comes from shedding the beliefs and patterns that hold us back. Hearing how the work Martine shared helps people unpack fear, separate identity from emotion, and choose with awareness is so valuable for anyone on a growth journey. You created a space where listeners can feel not just inspired, but invited into self-leadership, curiosity, and authentic choice. Such a generous and insightful conversatio... more

  • Scaling with Heart, Not Just Head

    This was a quietly powerful conversation. Hearing Luba talk about scaling pediatric therapy reminded me that impact grows when empathy and strategy meet. It’s one thing to build a business, another to build one that measurably improves lives and lifts the quality of care for families. You honoured that intersection beautifully: heart and discipline coexisting, not competing. A very human lesson for anyone leading in service-driven industries.

  • Gratitude as the Currency of Legacy

    I love how this conversation reframed success not as accumulation, but as giving back with intention and heart. When entrepreneurs build with gratitude, their legacy isn’t profits. It’s impact, uplift and generational value. Powerful story, beautifully shared.

Q: So how does Ionava sit with all the other providers, you know, like the Blue Cross, Blue Shields of the world?

Your Brain Has One Bank Account: Entrepreneur Sarah Deane on Human Energy, Burnout and Sustainable Peak Performance
Q: So what have you found in terms of the impact of AI on capacity? ... What are you seeing in your own data, in terms of companies adopting it and the impact on people?
Deane says AI can return time but adoption must connect to business value and account for the human role, appropriate use, training, and keeping people in the loop. AI-related work still requires human judgment, and people need sufficient capacity to assess outputs and make sound decisions.
Your Brain Has One Bank Account: Entrepreneur Sarah Deane on Human Energy, Burnout and Sustainable Peak Performance
Q: What is sustainable high performance? I guess it's different for different individuals, right? But when we're thinking about it in the workplace, how would you define sustainable high performance?
Deane defines it as capability multiplied by culture multiplied by capacity to execute: knowing how to do the work, having an environment that supports it, and having the cognitive and energetic resources to access the brain systems required.
The Success Lie: Entrepreneur and Investor Chantell Preston on Women, Wealth and Investing in Women
Q: So let's just start there. What is holding back women of wealth from investing in other women, you have promising startups? What is it?
It's a shift in mindset and education. Women have not been taught money concepts, often rely on spouses or brokers, and hesitate to ask questions due to worry about looking bad. The path forward is education, safe spaces to learn, and leaning into different investment avenues including funds and funds-of-funds to diversify risk.
