What if being called “too much,” “too different,” or even “weird” is the very signal that you’re thinking in ways others can’t? In this thought-provoking episode, Trish Goodfield—speaker, trainer, and author of Weird Wisdom at Work—redefines what it means to thrive in today’s workplace. After being labeled “weird” in an executive meeting, Trish uncovered the deeper meaning of the word: destiny.

If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t quite fit the mold, this episode will show you why that might be your greatest edge—and how to turn your “weird” into wisdom that truly makes an impact. ✨ About the Guest ✨ Trish Goodfield is a Speaker, Trainer, and Author of Weird Wisdom at Work.

    Paying it Forward: How to Include Your Community In Your Big Mission Goals with Raimonda Jan

    What if the real secret to success isn’t a viral moment or a perfect blueprint… but the small, consistent steps you take to lift others along the way? In this episode of Women Thrive, host Raimonda Jan reflects on International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month by exploring a powerful idea: paying it forward. Drawing from a recent Women Thrive networking call, she shares why meaningful impact is rarely created overnight. Instead, it’s built through the compound effect of consistent action, community support, and women opening doors for one another. Raimonda also shares how Women Thrive brings this mission to life—from free monthly networking calls and an internship program that has helped participants move into paid roles, to intentionally giving first-time speakers a platform so they can build confidence and step onto bigger stages. She reflects on the early encouragement she received from speaker Tricia Brooks before Women Thrive had a large audience, and how that moment continues to inspire her commitment to support other women today. If you’ve ever wondered how to create ripple effects through your work and community, this episode will challenge you to think about how you can pay it forward—and invite you to be part of the upcoming Women Thrive Summit. ✨ About Raimonda Jan ✨ Visionary and charismatic leader and entrepreneur Raimonda Jankunaite, founded the Women Thrive Media in 2017 as an events platform for women.

    Break the Pattern: How Neuroscience Helps Women Come Back to Themselves with Robin Banks

    📢 Sign up for the upcoming Women Thrive Summit 2026 here: https://summit.womenthrivesummit.com/ ✨ What if the reason change feels so hard… isn’t your lack of discipline — but your brain trying to keep you safe? In this episode, Robin Banks, founder and CEO of Neuro Verity Global, unpacks the powerful connection between neuroscience, the nervous system, and the way we experience life. Robin shares how her journey from real estate and health coaching into functional neuroscience began after noticing clients repeatedly lose motivation — and after facing a mysterious illness of her own. What she discovered is that the brain constantly predicts reality based on past experiences, prioritizing safety and energy conservation, which can unintentionally keep women stuck in comfort zones, overwhelm, and cycles of unsustainable change. Robin’s work focuses on helping people understand their nervous system, recalibrate internal set points, and use neuroplasticity to create transformation that actually lasts. She also offers a preview of her upcoming Women Thrive Summit 2026 talk, “Whole On Purpose: The Neuroscience of Living Wholly,” where she will explore how women can work with their brain — rather than against it — to create meaningful, lasting change.Break the Pattern: How Neuroscience Helps Women Come Back to Themselves with Robin Banks ✨ About the Guest ✨ Robin Banks is the visionary Founder and CEO of NeuroVerity Global, LLC, a Functional Neuroscience Coaching Practice dedicated to helping women optimize brain health, restore nervous system adaptability, and expand internal capacity so they can live, lead, and love from a position of wholeness. A firm believer that women were divinely designed for living WHOLLY, in the fullness of being whole —not fragmentation—Robin teaches women to access the beautiful biological intelligence of their brain and nervous system to move from burnout, overwhelm, exhaustion and survival mode into clarity, resilience, identity authority, and full capacity living. Robin pioneered Neuro-Integrated Transformation™, a neuroscience-anchored process of human change that integrates the brain, nervous system, identity, story, behavior, and lived experience into one unified pathway of transformation. This principle, rooted in research, psychology, physiology, and Robin’s own journey, declares that sustainable change only happens when the whole internal architecture of a woman is addressed. Through Neuroverity Global, Robin offers her clients the opportunity to follow a personal or professional path of transformation.  She designed the Neuro-Integrated Wholeness™ and Neuro-Integrated Leadership™ disciplines to serve as the foundational principles for her life’s work helping women to build capacity, coherence, alignment and wholeness.   Robin’s message is clear—We were divinely designed for wholeness and it's time we walk in it. 📢 Important Links 📢 Connect with our Guest: http://www.neuroverityglobal.com http://www.RobinRBanks.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/robin-banks/  Connect with Women Thrive Media: Women Thrive Summit: https://womenthrivesummit.com/ Become a Guest on the Women Thrive Podcast: https://womenthrivemedia.com/podcasts Women Thrive Book: https://womenthrivesummit.com/book/ Women Thrive Magazine: https://womenthrivemagazine.com/magazine/

    Living Aligned: Reclaiming Your Truth and Inner Power with Rosaly Didona

    📢 Sign up for the upcoming Women Thrive Summit 2026 here: https://summit.womenthrivesummit.com/ ✨ What if the breakdown you’re praying away… is actually the doorway to your awakening? What if the anxiety, the rock bottom, the nights where you didn’t know if you could keep going — were the very moments preparing you to reclaim your power? In this deeply moving episode, Rosaly Didona shares her journey from survival to spiritual sanctuary. After giving birth to her daughter prematurely during COVID and walking through the trauma of a NICU battle, Rosaly found herself facing crippling anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and a complete unraveling of who she thought she was. But in that darkness, something shifted. A profound spiritual encounter anchored her in faith, personal responsibility, and a new understanding of alignment. Now a Source Alignment Guide and founder of The Purifying Place, Rosaly helps women move beyond coping and into integration — balancing mind, body, and soul without bypassing the hard parts. This conversation is about reclaiming your truth, trusting divine guidance, and stepping out of survival mode into authentic expression. If you’ve ever felt like life broke you open… this episode will show you how that breaking can become your becoming. ✨ About the Guest ✨ Rosaly Didonna is a Source Alignment Guide & Mentor, and founder of The Purifying Place, a spiritual sanctuary dedicated to helping women return to their inner truth, wholeness, and embodied self-trust. Known for her grounded yet deeply intuitive approach, Rosaly guides women out of self-doubt and overwhelm and into a state of clarity, alignment, and divine connection. Her work weaves together spiritual coaching, energy healing, nervous system attunement, and embodied awareness to help her clients experience transformation from the inside out. Her journey into this work began through one of the most defining moments of her life—becoming a mother to her daughter, born at just 23 weeks. What began as crisis became a profound initiation into surrender, resilience, and self-trust. This experience awakened in Rosaly a deep remembrance of who we are beneath fear: whole, guided, and divinely supported. Today, Rosaly brings this lived wisdom into her coaching, workshops, and teachings, helping women reclaim their power, trust their intuition, and move through life with confidence rooted in soul. Through The Purifying Place, she supports women in rising into the fullest, most aligned expression of who they were created to be. 📢 Important Links 📢 Connect with Guest: https://www.instagram.com/thepurifyingplace/  https://www.youtube.com/@ThePurifyingPlace  https://www.thepurifyingplace.com/  Connect with Women Thrive Media: Women Thrive Summit: https://womenthrivesummit.com/ Become a Guest on the Women Thrive Podcast: https://womenthrivemedia.com/podcasts Women Thrive Book: https://womenthrivesummit.com/book/ Women Thrive Magazine: https://womenthrivemagazine.com/magazine/

    How to Build Courage and Say Yes with Kristen Siqueiros

    What if the only thing standing between you and your calling… is your willingness to say yes? Not when you feel ready. Not when you feel confident. But when it’s uncomfortable, uncertain, and stretches your faith. In this powerful episode, Kristen Siqueiros shares what happens when a woman keeps saying yes — to leading a family-owned security company in male-dominated industries, to building faith-based community when she felt spiritually alone, to mentorship that stretched her, and to launching a nonprofit, Into The Garden We Grow, after a life-changing retreat centered around one word: held. As a wife, mother, nonprofit founder, and CEO, Kristen opens up about courage, fear, leadership, and the tension between faith and doubt — and how each brave “yes” reshaped her purpose. If you’ve been sensing a nudge toward something bigger but fear keeps whispering “not you”… this episode will challenge you to consider what could happen if you simply said yes. ✨ About the Guest ✨ Kristen Siqueiros is a wife, mother, nonprofit founder, and faith-driven leader with a heart for helping women grow in purpose, confidence, and calling.
