    102. Special Series: Secrets of Powerful Men with Dr. Sean Levchuck, World Renowned Cardio Thoracic Surgeon

    He’s Helped Save Hundreds of Children: Dr. Sean Levchuk on Purpose, Pediatric Heart Health & a Life of Service What does it take to dedicate your life to saving children, supporting families through their most frightening moments, and still believe the glass is always half full? In this special Secrets of Powerful Men episode of the award-winning Secrets of Powerful Women Podcast, Jill Conway sits down with Dr. Sean Levchuk, a renowned pediatric cardiologist and Director of Pediatric Cardiology at St. Francis Hospital on Long Island. Over his 30+ year career, Dr. Levchuk has helped care for hundreds of children with serious heart conditions and has worked extensively with Gift of Life International, an organization that has helped provide lifesaving heart treatment to children around the world. But this conversation goes far beyond medicine. Dr. Levchuk opens up about growing up in the Bronx in a family where neither parent graduated college, becoming a doctor when that dream seemed almost impossible, and finding the mentor who changed the trajectory of his life. He also shares powerful stories from his career, including former pediatric patients who returned decades later as adults with families of their own, and one former patient who came back asking Dr. Levchuk to help save another child. In this episode, you'll hear about: The warning signs and realities of heart conditions in children Why student athlete heart screenings can be so important Sudden cardiac arrest and heart risks in young athletes How advances in cardiac imaging are changing pediatric heart care What Dr. Levchuk has learned after decades of treating children The role mentorship played in his success How he balanced a demanding medical career with marriage and fatherhood Why he believes great doctors need to connect with patients and families Faith, loss, grief and the emotional side of medicine His advice for young people considering a career in medicine And in a candid conversation you may not expect from a pediatric cardiologist, Jill asks Dr. Levchuk about men, women, marriage and menopause. His message to men is an important one: educate yourself. Dr. Levchuk discusses why men shouldn't take the physical and emotional changes of menopause personally, why understanding what women are experiencing can strengthen relationships, and why couples need to approach this stage of life as a team. He also shares the simple relationship advice his mother gave him on his wedding day that has stayed with him throughout his marriage. Perhaps the most powerful lesson comes when Dr. Levchuk explains why he still believes medicine is one of the most meaningful careers someone can choose. For him, success isn't about the title, the money or recognition. It's about knowing that your time here mattered because you helped someone else. This is a conversation about purpose, leadership, pediatric heart health, marriage, mentorship, faith, resilience and leaving a legacy that matters. If you love inspiring conversations about successful people, powerful life lessons, health, relationships and finding your purpose, this episode is for you.

    101. Money Has Feelings with Kristy Archuleta

    Your Money Has Feelings: How to Change Your Money Mindset with Kristy Archuleta Why can a woman be successful, accomplished, and confident in so many areas of her life, yet still feel anxious, ashamed, or insecure about money? In this episode of Secrets of Powerful Women, Jill Conway sits down with Kristy Archuleta, financial therapy trailblazer, professor at the University of Georgia, and co-founder of the Financial Therapy Association, to explore the powerful connection between money, emotions, relationships, confidence, and self-worth.  Kristy explains why the way we think, feel, and behave around money often begins in childhood. Those messages you heard growing up, like "money doesn't grow on trees," can become unconscious money beliefs that follow you well into adulthood. And for women, those beliefs can run even deeper. For generations, women were often taught that managing money was a man's responsibility. Kristy explains how those messages can affect a woman's financial confidence, independence, decision-making, and relationship with moneyeven today.  Jill and Kristy talk about financial anxiety vs. financial stress, scarcity mindset, money shame, financial independence after divorce, saving for your future, asking for a raise, couples fighting about money, and why comparing your financial life to someone else's can be so damaging. Kristy also offers a simple place to start: understand where your money is actually going and ask yourself, what is one small thing I can do today to improve my financial future? Whether you're a woman over 40, woman over 50, entrepreneur, businesswoman, recently divorced, starting over financially, or simply ready to feel more confident about money, this conversation may completely change the way you think about your finances. It's time to let go of the shame and start talking about money. Kristy is from Athens, Georgia women and money, money mindset for women, financial therapy, financial anxiety, financial stress, financial wellness, financial confidence, financial freedom for women, financial independence, personal finance for women, women over 40, women over 50, midlife women, midlife finances, successful women, powerful women, women entrepreneurs, women in business, money anxiety, scarcity mindset, money trauma, childhood money beliefs, financial independence after divorce, starting over financially, divorce and finances, money and relationships, couples and money, money shame, building wealth for women, financial empowerment, Georgia bulldogs

    100. From High School Dropout to White House Correspondent: Debra Alfarone on the Power of Asking

    From High School Dropout to White House Correspondent: Debra Alfarone on the Power of Asking What if one courageous ask could change the direction of your life? In this inspiring episode of Secrets of Powerful Women, Jill Conway sits down with award-winning national TV correspondent, keynote speaker, media coach, and host of The Good Side, Debra Alfarone, for a powerful conversation about women's confidence, career success, overcoming self-doubt, resilience, personal growth, and having the courage to ask for what you want. Debra's story is proof that where you start does not determine where you finish. She went from high school dropout to White House correspondent, despite having no connections, little confidence, and plenty of rejection along the way. Her success secret? Ask anyway. Debra shares how one audacious phone call early in her career created a relationship that would eventually help open the door to CBS News decades later. But she also reveals something successful women don't talk about enough, behind the few life-changing yeses were countless noes. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why women need to get more comfortable asking for what they want• How to overcome imposter syndrome and self-doubt• Why rejection may actually be redirection• How to build confidence when you don't feel confident yet• Why successful women stop comparing themselves to everyone else• How mentors can change the way you see yourself• The power of betting on yourself during a career transition• Why fear is often "false evidence appearing real"• How to stop playing small and create your own opportunities• Why sometimes you need to go where you're wanted• How women can support each other instead of competing with each other Debra also opens up about her difficult childhood and the people she calls "label whisperers," the teachers, mentors, friends, and leaders who saw something in her before she could see it in herself. If you're a woman over 40, woman over 50, entrepreneur, business leader, professional woman, or someone considering a career change, this conversation is a reminder that you are not finished becoming who you're meant to be. You don't need everyone's approval. You don't need to have it all figured out. And you don't need to wait until you feel completely confident. Sometimes you just need to ask. Because as Debra says, "You create your life one ask at a time."
