    You Don't Have to Do It Alone I Chaya Laine

    Nine days postpartum, Chaya walked into a photo studio in a wig and full makeup. She told everyone she was doing great. On the inside, she was drowning. That photo shoot cracked something open. Over the next months she moved through undiagnosed postpartum depression and anxiety. She was convinced she was the only one struggling. A year later she realized how far from normal it had been. Three months after that she was pregnant again. She spent the second pregnancy researching postpartum care obsessively and designing specific support systems. The second postpartum was unrecognizable from the first. That became the Gentle Postpartum course and the nonprofit she's building, a vision of a physical space where every practitioner a new mother needs lives under one roof, and preventative care replaces reactive crisis response. This episode: the photo shoot, the lie that she was the only one drowning, the practical system that rewrote her second postpartum, and the postpartum village she's quietly building toward.

    Yehudis Kornfeld I On the Mitzvah of Muscle #jewishwomen #jewishstories

    Yehudis Kornfeld stopped being afraid of aging. That's not where she started. She watched her grandmother suffer frp, Alzheimer's for years. Both her parents have heart disease. Her father has prostate cancer. Her father-in-law fell at 70 and was never the same. By the time Yehudis had her fifth baby at 39 and turned 40 the next month, the fear she'd carried for decades was finally sitting in her own body. She went looking for a way out and found electrical muscle stimulation (EMS); a workout in a full-body suit that fires every major muscle at once. She tried it before buying a suit. First session, her muscles "woke up from the dead." Power 20 Studios opened six months later in Tom's River, New Jersey. Priced deliberately below the $250-per-session industry standard so regular women could actually afford it. Her thesis is the one her clients rarely walk in believing: modern medicine extends your lifespan. Muscle extends your healthspan. Those are two different things. This episode goes into the fear, the body at 40, the suit, the bulky-weights myth, and the mitzvah of muscle that most people gloss over.

    She Doesn't Want to Inspire Change. She Wants to Create It I Mussie Holtzman

    She doesn't want to inspire change. She wants to create it. And she learned the difference at 17. Mussie shares the Shabbaton at 17 that redirected her whole career, why she thinks the reason people avoid therapy is that we've called it "for broken people" too long, why the therapeutic relationship is a mirror of every other relationship in your life, and the line that stopped me mid-interview: "It's not pathological. It's just weird." A conversation about therapy, advocacy, mental health, identity, self-worth, and why humble isn't the strategy for women who want to make change.

    She Says Effort Without Structure Is Just Chaos. She Helps Business Owners Fix It I Blimi Adler

    Effort without structure is just chaos. That's the thesis Blimi Adler has spent six years proving. She's a business structurist. She helps founders trade the busy-14-hour-day feeling for a business that actually moves. Plus two newer offerings, CEO Mode and Launch Mode, that meet earlier-stage founders and first-time business owners where they are. Blimi shares how she got here. From a childhood spent trying to fit into a box that didn't have her shape, to an accounting career , to the coaching course she bought that reset her whole trajectory. Plus the business plan she wrote in a journal at twenty-two that turned up in her garage a decade later. Plus: her "know the rules, then break them" framework, why every employee at every level deserves to know what success looks like for them, the reason she think we need to stop avoiding business conversations at girls' nights, and what it actually means to call yourself self-made. A conversation about entrepreneurship, structure, clarity, self-made narratives, and how confidence is the output, not the input. Connect with Blimi:  ✉️ blimi@pivotyes.com 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/blimiadler/ Just getting started?

    One in Three Women Describe Their Birth as Traumatic. She's Trying to Change That | Toby Deutsch

    One in three women describe their birth as traumatic. Toby Deutsch was one of them. Then she had a miscarriage, discovered neuroplasticity, and rewired herself into a completely different person for her second birth, which was redemptive, and the foundation of the company she now runs. Toby shares how years of searching for her calling all pointed to the thing her own body finally taught her, and how she built Gentle Beginnings around helping other women prepare for birth the way she wishes someone had prepared her. Plus: the neuroplasticity fact that reframes everything (pregnant brains rewire six times faster than regular ones), why she calls postpartum the whole thing, the Ayurvedic saying that says forty days influence forty years, and the founder truth that passion and execution live in different parts of the brain. A conversation about birth, motherhood, neuroscience, founding, confidence, and doing it scared until the doing turns into the confidence. New episodes every week. Subscribe so you never miss one.

    The Way Other Kids Played House, She Played Business | Noa Mintz

    At twelve, she was running a nanny agency from the middle school bathroom. At fifteen, she'd hired her first CEO. At twenty-six, she's building the first digital infrastructure for post-intensive-care recovery, because modern medicine got so good at saving lives it created a whole new syndrome, and nobody built a system to catch it. Noa played business the way other kids played house. She never really stopped. Noa shares how her curiosity about people and problem-solving followed her from childhood into studying cognitive neuroscience at Brown University, working in healthcare technology, and eventually founding a company focused on helping people recover after intensive care. Plus: her advice for women starting something of their own, why judgment might be the most important skill to develop, how to separate signal from noise, and why your failures may teach you more than your successes. A conversation about entrepreneurship, identity, healthcare, AI, judgment, and staying true to yourself while building something that matters. New episodes every week.

    She Was Too Nervous to Read the Agenda. Now She Speaks at Money 20/20 I Miriam Sheril

    What if the imposter syndrome you can't shake was actually a shared secret across every room you've ever walked into? When Miriam Sheril was a Federal Reserve intern in January 2009, her job was to read the meeting agenda out loud. She spent three days a week nauseous leading up to it. Instead of asking am I in the wrong career?, she found herself asking who else in this room is faking it? a question that would carry her through fifteen years at the Fed, the launch of FedNow, and the leap to running US strategy at a UK-based fintech called Form3. In this episode Miriam shares what fifteen years inside the Federal Reserve taught her about power, politics, and the imposter syndrome nobody escapes, and how being openly Orthodox in fintech turned out to be the strategy, not the risk. Deep on the five-item checklist she used to pivot in her career, the colleague who told her to stop saying "this might be a stupid question," and the American Bankers piece she calls her proudest work.
