The place where female wellness entrepreneurs talk ambition, money, and ownership- out loud. She’s The BOSS is a no-holds-barred interview podcast spotlighting bold, rule-breaking women in health and wellness who are building powerful, profitable businesses on their own terms. Hosted by holistic nutritionist turned wellness business coach Leigh McSwan, this show is where ambition, money, and power are spoken out loud through deep, unfiltered conversations with women who are rewriting the rules of entrepreneurship. Nothing is off-limits. Leadership. Wealth. Motherhood. Burnout. Desire. Boundaries. And the defining moments that force you to choose between staying comfortable and going all in. Each episode goes far beyond surface-level success to peel back the layers of the woman behind the brand-her mindset shifts, identity pivots, contrarian decisions, failures, and the moments that changed everything.

    A Mother’s Road From Crisis To Advocacy with Robin DeLorenzo

    Your confidence can vanish in one sentence: “So, what do you charge?” Then life hits you with a much harder question: “What do I do when something feels wrong and nobody will listen?” That’s where this conversation lands, and it’s why I wanted you to hear Robin DiLorenzo’s story in her own words. Robin is the founder of the Safe Mama Project, a resource and community she’s building after years of navigating her daughter’s complex health journey. She shares how a routine wellness visit became a turning point for her family, why she believes her child was injured, and what it was like to be dismissed when she started asking questions. We talk maternal intuition, informed consent, mom guilt, and the lonely middle space where you’re trying to make decisions with imperfect information and very high stakes. We also get into the practical realities of turning lived experience into a mission-led business: learning new skills after leaving a corporate career, building online platforms, handling polarizing feedback, and setting boundaries so your nervous system can survive the work. Robin explains what she hopes the Safe Mama Project becomes over the next five to ten years, from step-by-step tools for moms in crisis to bigger community gatherings and education around whole-body wellness. If you’re a mother, a caregiver, or a wellness entrepreneur trying to lead with courage, press play, share this with someone who needs it, and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next. If the conversation resonates, leave a review and tell me what part hit home. SALES CONFIDENCE- early bird rate in effect! Master your sales skills for life.

    Cheaper Than Divorce: The Gym And The Guilt | Dr. East Phillips

    Your confidence doesn’t disappear at pricing time because you’re “bad at sales.” More often, it vanishes because you’re still asking for permission to be fully seen. I’m joined by Dr. East, an integrative and alternative medicine physician, frequency coach, and best-selling author, for a candid talk about what it takes to unshackle yourself as a woman, a mother, and an entrepreneur. We dig into the mindset blocks that quietly run the show: self-limiting beliefs, people pleasing, and the belief that a “good mom” should sacrifice everything. Dr. East breaks down why that story creates guilt, resentment, and pressure kids never asked for, then shows how writing your own permission slip can change your marriage, your energy, and your calendar. If you’ve been waiting for someone else to make space for you, this is your reminder that the rescuer is you. From there, we go deep on identity-based transformation and purpose. We talk intuition as a real business asset, how to follow what lights you up, and how to spot the moment you’ve overstayed your purpose. Dr. East shares practical ways to uncover desire, plus the daily habit structure behind Elevate, a 50-day consistency container that supports higher energy, better boundaries, and healthier growth without grind culture. If this hit home, subscribe, share the episode with a woman who needs her permission slip, and leave a review so more wellness entrepreneurs can find these conversations.

    Salmon DNA And Sisterhood Are A Business Plan with Laura Swanson

    AI is speeding up everything, but it can’t replace the feeling of being truly seen. That’s why this conversation with Laura “Lala” Swanson hit so hard for me. She went from high-earning tech sales burnout to a year of slow travel across 13 countries, earned her 200-hour yoga certification in Nepal, and came back with a clearer compass: build a life that feels like yours, then build a business that supports it. Lala is the co-founder of NomiA, a wellness and beauty travel company hosting curated international retreats for women, and the visionary behind only, a wellness studio concept blending movement, meditation, and community in Minnesota. We talk about trusting your intuition in business, choosing partners with integrity, and why “connection” isn’t soft. It’s a real strategy in 2026, especially post-COVID and in a world where human interaction is starting to feel like a luxury. We also get practical about the retreat model: what’s included in their Merida, Mexico retreats, how they vet clinics and providers for safety, and how she holds wellness and aesthetics without shame or judgment. Yes, we even go there on salmon DNA injections, skincare, and what it means to feel beautiful on your own terms. If you’re a female wellness entrepreneur building retreats, a studio, or any community-led brand, you’ll walk away with language, mindset shifts, and next-step ideas you can actually use.

    Closing A Business To Save A Mission with Amber Cebull

    What if closing a beloved, award-winning brand is the most honest way to protect your mission? We sit down with Amber, founder of Gather Beverage Co., for a raw, timely look at why her clean, functional non-alcoholic elixirs—internationally recognized and fiercely loved—still couldn’t outrun the realities of scale, education gaps, and a market not yet ready for a true premium NA tier. The products were exceptional. The numbers were not. And that’s where this story gets powerful. Amber takes us from co-owning a brewery during the pandemic to pioneering organic, preservative-free concentrates that used adaptogens, nootropics, teas, and kombucha to mirror the depth of craft cocktails. Along the way, we talk through the hidden cost drivers most founders miss: volatile inputs like certified organic juices, the craft constraints of small-batch syrups, regulatory red tape, and the brutal truth that you can’t pass price increases through if your category doesn’t recognize a top shelf. Education is a mission, but it’s also a cost center, especially when “natural flavors” still confuse buyers and quality gets flattened on the NA shelf. Then we pivot to what’s next—and why it matters. Amber is building a platform to spotlight holistic chiropractors, nutritionists, and functional providers, clarifying their specialties and helping people find the right fit through interviews, education, and a practical directory. If diet and daily inputs drive most symptoms, access to the right guide becomes frontline healthcare. We also get candid about when to quit (hello, The Dip), how to keep your mission heavier than the grind until it isn’t, and why small-brand acquisitions by big companies can still advance the movement if consumers keep voting with their dollars and reading labels. If you’re a wellness founder or a curious consumer, you’ll leave with sharper questions, cleaner criteria, and permission to choose impact over inertia. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs courage to pivot, and leave a review to tell us: what would you quit to grow?

    From Booty Shakes To Business: How Dance Fitness Becomes A Scalable Brand with Angie Shealy

    What if the real secret to growth isn’t a secret at all? Angie, a wife, mom of two, full-time professional, and founder of Level Up Dance Fitness, joins us to show how joy, grit, and smart systems beat fads—on the mat and in the market. We start with fitness that sticks: why a 10-minute session you love outperforms a perfect hour you’ll never repeat, and how Level Up blends 90s and early 2000s dance vibes with strength blocks to create a high-energy, judgment-free class that people actually return to. From there, we pull back the curtain on building a business in real life. Angie shares how she validated demand with pop-ups, handled the gut punch of low attendance, and turned every outcome into data. We dig into grassroots marketing that works—local Facebook groups, chambers, and a trustworthy digital presence—plus the SEO fundamentals that compound over time: clear service pages, fresh content, and clean metadata. When it’s time to spend, she breaks down how to choose between Google and social ads by starting with your audience and backing into budget from customer value. The strategy that changes everything is her licensing model. Instead of scaling with heavy overhead, Angie certifies instructors and provides ongoing choreography, breakdowns, and education through a subscription. Instructors keep their earnings while the brand compounds reach and recurring revenue. It’s a win-win flywheel: more support fuels better classes, better classes grow community, and community reduces churn. We also get real about leadership and capacity. Letting go means trusting great work that isn’t identical to yours, asking for feedback often, and leading as a servant. Boundaries power momentum—appointments with yourself, time blocks, and the bravery to say no. We trade performative perfection for seasons of focus, and we tackle imposter syndrome by choosing our hard and showing up anyway. If you’re ready to build something joyful, scalable, and true to your life, press play. Then share this with a friend who needs a nudge, subscribe for more candid strategy, and leave a review to tell us your biggest takeaway. Connect with Angie!

    How A Former Teacher Turned Natural Health Into A Scalable Mission | Erin Ward

    Ready to trade the busy badge for a business that actually feels like you? We sit down with Erin, a former elementary teacher who built a thriving natural health career by listening to her instincts, setting clear boundaries, and choosing work that lights her up. Her path is a masterclass in practical courage: start small, move scared, and keep aligning your actions with your values until the next door opens. We dig into phototherapy in plain language. Erin breaks down how reflective light patches may elevate copper peptides, why that matters for stem cell activity, and what aging has to do with recovery speed. You’ll hear how placement and timing work, typical costs, global availability, and why non-transdermal approaches appeal to those juggling complex health stacks. Erin shares personal and client wins—from gut relief to better energy—and contrasts this route with the price and invasiveness of stem cell injections, offering a grounded take for curious skeptics and biohackers alike. Then we get tactical about entrepreneurship. Erin reveals her daily structure, the time-chunking that protects focus, and the simple lists that keep her work human and effective. We explore human design as a strategy lens—responding versus waiting for invitations, speaking from your natural center of truth, and choosing embodiment over endless to-do lists. Finally, we walk through rituals for releasing beliefs that don’t belong to you and replacing them with ones that support your next move, so you can lead with presence, not pressure. If you’re building a wellness brand and craving momentum without burnout, this conversation delivers science, systems, and soul. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs permission to pivot, and leave a review telling us the one belief you’re ready to release this year.

    From “Too Much” To Just Right, With Stickers, Glee, And Zero Guilt | Andrea Mondoux

    What if the life you’re building is still running on someone else’s script? We sit with transformation coach and author Andrea Mondu to unpack the quiet weight of shoulds, the autopilot thoughts that steer our choices, and the surprising role of play in serious success. Andrea’s new book, Embody Bliss: Break Free from the Shoulds and Move Into More Joy, blends memoir and practical tools to help you question inherited stories, build self-trust, and choose joy on purpose. We explore her EMBODY approach to change, starting with awareness: logging the thoughts that loop beneath your day, testing them against evidence, and picking beliefs that match your values. From being called “too much” to shrinking dreams to fit corporate molds, Andrea shows how these labels live in our bodies—and how to release them. She shares why not everyone is meant for entrepreneurship, but those who choose it must grow fast: visibility, resilience, and boundaries stop being nice-to-haves and become oxygen. This conversation is warm, candid, and full of usable ideas. You’ll learn why ten minutes of laughter can reset your productivity, how adult glee rehearsals revived Andrea’s creativity, and why cutting the grass without headphones can ground a scattered mind. We dig into the book’s structure—thought work, stories, shoulds, self-relationship, boundaries, play, nature—and the bonus audio activations designed to help new beliefs stick through repetition. We close with a grounded definition of being a boss: self-ownership, fewer assumptions, less taking things personally, and always doing your best. If you’re ready to stop performing productivity and start designing a business that supports your life, this one will meet you where you are. Listen, reflect, and try one small shift today—question a thought, protect a boundary, or choose a joy.

    From Single Mom To Multi‑Millionaire: Jasmine Marra On Redefining Wealth

    What if joy came before money—and made you wealthier because of it? We sit down with life and financial coach Jasmine Marra to unpack how she rebuilt from divorce and job loss to a multimillion‑dollar portfolio, why assets beat accolades, and how women can lead with purpose without dimming their ambition. From the “golden handcuffs” of a government job to acquiring 16 rental units in one leap, Jasmine shows how nervous system regulation, gut‑led decisions, and rapid action turn knowledge into outcomes. We explore the identity shifts required to move from employee to value creator, including pricing with confidence, selling with care, and shedding inherited limits. Jasmine names the witch wound—the generational fear of being visible—and shares how speaking plainly about money helps women stop undercharging and start building real power. Community is our amplifier: when women gather, timelines compress, bounce‑backs are faster, and purpose expands. You’ll hear clear, practical money moves: live on no more than 50% of your income to block lifestyle creep, funnel the surplus into assets, and prioritize cash‑flowing investments. Jasmine breaks down first real estate steps for Canadians and Americans, creative financing options, and why one or two properties can change a legacy. We also challenge the “money buys happiness” cliché. Joy is the engine; money widens your choices. Put them together, and you create freedom—time, energy, and impact. If you’re ready to rethink wealth, trust your gut, and build assets that work while you sleep, this conversation is your blueprint. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more women claim their voice and their wealth. What’s the next bold move you’ll act on today?

    Faith, Grit, And A Second Chance | Jessica James

    A quiet morning ritual becomes the fuse for a radical life reset. We sit down with Jessie—entrepreneur, mother, and mindset guide—to trace how faith, grief, and a shocking brain tumor diagnosis rebuilt her relationship with work, health, and leadership. What unfolds is a story about courage that doesn’t deny fear, but moves anyway. Jessie takes us through her blue-collar recruitment career in Australia, the confidence that came from learning every rung of the ladder, and the month in 2019 when everything changed: losing her father, discovering she was pregnant, and entering a season of constant reset. When the pandemic hit, she chose calm over panic and designed motherhood around joy, sunlight, and presence—proof that pace is a lever, not a life sentence. The diagnosis arrived after months of migraines, brain fog, and dead ends. An MRI exposed a tumor—and with it, a new operating system. Jessie’s response in the hospital is a masterclass in triage and leadership under pressure: secure care for her son, make hard legal calls, trust the surgical team, and lean into faith. On the other side, she rewrote success. Health is wealth. Money is a tool, not the point. Inspired action beats rigid planning. Keep big ideas sacred until they’re sturdy, and protect your authenticity from the algorithm’s pull. We also talk about sonder—the realization that everyone carries an epic—because compassion changes how we lead. Jessie prefers leader to boss: go first, set the standard, and cheer for growth at every level. If you’ve felt the tug to pivot, to slow down, or to finally build a business that can hold you when life hits hard, this conversation is your permission slip and your plan. If this resonated, follow, share with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review so more people can find these stories.
