  1. Your brain listens to everything: Mindset, neuroscience, and building a million dollar business as a woman — with Julie Anderson

    5D AGO

    Your brain listens to everything: Mindset, neuroscience, and building a million dollar business as a woman — with Julie Anderson

    Brain lady Julie Anderson spent thirty years studying how neuroscience shapes women's success, and what keeps them from the million dollar mark is not capability. It is mindset, and specifically what their brains have been trained to listen to. In this episode, Adrienne sits down with Julie Anderson, certified brain health professional and international speaker, to talk about the mindset and neuroscience behind how women build and scale. Julie breaks down why women take on too much, why the word "challenge" activates fight response while "opportunity" opens the prefrontal cortex, and why that small shift changes what the brain looks for. They talk through the evening gratitude practice that has to include something about you, the visualization work elite athletes actually do, and something Adrienne noticed in an AI class that morning: a male instructor typing messy prompts and getting ten times the output of a brilliant woman correcting every comma. If you are building toward a million and wondering why the same patterns keep repeating, this one is worth your time.

  2. What No One Tells You About What to Wear During Cancer Recovery — and the Entrepreneur Who Fixed It with Dr. Cindy Trice

    APR 17

    What No One Tells You About What to Wear During Cancer Recovery — and the Entrepreneur Who Fixed It with Dr. Cindy Trice

    Hospital gowns strip your dignity. That's what Dr. Cindy Trice learned firsthand during treatment for advanced cervical cancer. When a friend brought her a pair of pajamas, it changed everything: she felt like a person again, not just a patient. That moment became the origin story for Kickit Recovery Wear, a company designing stylish, functional post-surgery clothing and chemo-friendly apparel for women at every stage of recovery. In this episode, Cindy shares the 16-year journey from idea to launch — including a paralyzing car accident at 18, a career as a veterinarian, a sold software company, and the fourth-grade friend who helped her finally bring it all to life. During chemo, a friend brought her a pair of cute pajamas. She put them on and everything changed. She walked laps around the nurses' station. She let visitors in. But the nurses could not work around them, and she realized the hospital gown exists for a reason. The question was: why has nobody made something that works for patients and medical staff? That idea sat for sixteen years. In the meantime, Cindy became a veterinarian, built and sold a software company called Relief Rover, and eventually launched KickIt with three co-founders, including her best friend since the fourth grade. They split ownership equally and built the whole thing together. She is also a patient advocate for Cervivor and wants you to know: cervical cancer is preventable. Get screened. If you are building something from a problem you lived through, this conversation will feel familiar.

  3. Why Substack and Community Building Are Outperforming Traditional PR for Growing Brands with Ashley Orfus

    APR 10

    Why Substack and Community Building Are Outperforming Traditional PR for Growing Brands with Ashley Orfus

    Brands don't need more visibility, they need meaning. That's the thesis behind Ashley Orfus's work as founder of ALAB Group, where she helps innovative companies replace traditional PR tactics with performance-driven communication built on education, credibility, and community. In this episode, Ashley shares why platforms like Substack and Beehive are leveling the playing field for founders without big budgets, why handwritten notes and customer phone calls are now a competitive edge, and why women founders need to stop discounting their rates before the other person even finishes breathing. Ashley founded ALAB Group at 22 years old, after leaving luxury fashion and entertainment, before entrepreneurship was the default career path it is now. For over a decade, she has been helping founders across technology, food, hospitality, and culture who are not just launching products but inventing entire categories. From audio jewelry to vertical farming to space tourism, her work starts with one question: what is your unique point of view?  Ashley challenged something I think a lot of us do. We rush to hire marketing before our product and positioning are actually ready, and then wonder why it does not get us to scale. The world does not need another business, she said. It needs yours to be clear about why it exists.  We also got into the money conversation that women founders keep avoiding and why the shift from traditional media to platforms like Substack and Beehive is creating a fairer playing field for smaller brands.  If you are building something and wondering where to put your energy, this one is worth your time.  Chapters: 🎙️ 02:18 Ashley Orfus on leaving luxury fashion to build ALAB Group at 22 🧪 06:18 The world doesn't need another business: finding your unique point of view 💡 09:08 Frends Headphones, audio jewelry, and how you explain something that doesn't exist yet 💰 12:11 Operating model over scale: why a curated business can outperform a big one 🚫 16:15 The money conversation women founders keep avoiding 🤝 22:17 Substack, Beehive, and the new media landscape replacing traditional PR ✍️ 28:43 Handwritten notes and analog strategy as a competitive edge 🎯 30:05 Don't hire marketing to hire marketing: ask the scary questions first Links: Website: www.alabgroup.com Instagram: @alabgroup / @aorfus Email: ashley@alabgroup.com  Your brand doesn't need more noise.

  4. Gender Stereotypes Start in the Toy Aisle: Jodi Bondi Norgaard on Building a Business to Fight Back

    APR 3

    Gender Stereotypes Start in the Toy Aisle: Jodi Bondi Norgaard on Building a Business to Fight Back

    Stop fixing women — fix the system. That's the message at the heart of Jodi Bondi Norgaard's work as an entrepreneur, author, and advocate. In this episode, Jodi shares how a frustrating trip to a toy store with her daughter sparked a mission to challenge the gender stereotypes marketed to girls — and ultimately led her to create the award-winning Go Go Sports Girls, write her book "More Than a Doll," and advise organizations from the White House Gender Policy Council to the Gena Davis Institute. Adrienne and Jodi talk about why gender inequality starts long before the workplace, what it actually takes to keep speaking up when the pushback gets personal, and how women can stop waiting for a seat at the table and start building their own. If you have ever felt tired of fighting for something that should not even be a fight, this one will remind you why you keep going. Tune in to hear why Jodi says women and girls are not broken, and what she is doing about the system that is.

  5. What I've Learned About Women Entrepreneurs and the $1 Million Journey with Adrienne Garland of She Leads Media

    MAR 27

    What I've Learned About Women Entrepreneurs and the $1 Million Journey with Adrienne Garland of She Leads Media

    After 200 conversations with women entrepreneurs building toward $1 million and beyond, Adrienne is recording live from Santiago, Chile, where she is leading a global field experience for Rice University MBA students. One pattern has emerged that nobody in this space talks about enough: the journey for women entrepreneurs never ends.  In this solo episode of the She Leads Podcast, I look back at what these conversations have taught me since I first launched the show as Sugarcoated. The women founders who crossed the million dollar mark did not stop there. They started thinking about impact, exits, and how to help other women in business get to where they are. And the women still on the journey have dealt with massive debt, career resets, and loss that would have taken most people out of the game entirely. Fewer than 4% of women-owned businesses ever get past a million dollars, under 2% of venture capital goes to women, and the Fortune 500 numbers are barely moving. I lay out what those statistics actually mean and what I believe needs to change.  I also get into something we do not say out loud enough: not every woman supports other women. I have seen it, and I talk about where that comes from and how to find the people who are genuinely in your corner.  This is what 200 conversations taught me about what it actually takes for women to build past a million dollars. Tune in and let me know who you want to hear from next.   Chapters: 🎧 00:57 Adrienne Garland's conversations with women entrepreneurs across 200 episodes 💡 02:13 How Adrienne is shifting the focus of The She Leads Podcast to women building to $1 million and beyond 📊 07:05 What the statistics are pointing to for women in business 🚧 14:37 Reaching $1 Million in Revenue and pushing past it 🛤️ 20:34 Backslides, twists and turns, and forks in the road to $1 million 🔥 24:12 Where support between women breaks down 🌎 29:13 How To Bring more women into these conversations Links: Visit our website: www.sheleadsmedia.com To get in touch with me directly, you can send me an email at adrienne@sheleadsmedia.com.Don't forget to let me know who you would like me to interview next and why.

    Why Women Founders Must Protect Their IP from Day One — with IP Attorney Laurie Selkowitz

    IP attorney Laurie Selkowitz breaks down why women founders are chronically under-informed when it comes to trademarking and intellectual property - and the moves you need to make before it's too late to protect what you've built. As a partner at Greenberg Glusker, Laurie advises companies from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 enterprises on technology, privacy, and intellectual property. In this conversation, she explains why many women founders unintentionally miss critical opportunities to protect their ideas. In a first-to-file system, waiting until something feels perfect can mean losing the chance to secure patents or trademarks that could become valuable business assets.  Adrienne and Laurie talk through the practical side of legal strategy for entrepreneurs. They explore when founders should bring in legal counsel, how to think about budgeting for legal services, and why contracts and negotiations deserve more attention than most businesses give them early on.  They also discuss the growing use of AI in business and why founders need to understand what they truly own when using AI-generated content.   If you’re building a business, this episode could save you from costly legal mistakes.  Chapters: ⚖️ 02:21 Laurie Selkowitz on advocacy, innovation, and protecting ideas🏁 06:11 Why women wait too long to file patents🛡️ 13:01 Legal strategy early prevents expensive problems later💼 16:42 Planning legal budgets and finding the right attorney🤝 21:18 Asking harder questions builds stronger business deals🤖 36:04 AI tools, ownership risks, and protecting your work  Links: Email: lselkowitz@GreenbergGlusker.comReach out to Laurie Selkowitz to learn more about protecting your intellectual property and building a strong legal foundation for your business.   Thank you to our podcast sponsor Go From Expert to Thought Leader with the Genius Discovery Program.

About

The go-to podcast for women entrepreneurs scaling to $1 million and beyond while building lasting wealth — real talk, no fluff. Each week, host Adrienne Garland goes deep with bold women entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders across the globe — stripping away the sugar-coating to get at what actually matters for driven women growing their businesses for profit and impact. Adrienne is a Professor at NYU and Rice University, an entrepreneur and advisor, an MBA grad, and that bold business friend who asks the questions other women in business podcasts shy away from. Topics covered: scaling to seven figures and why it matters for women and the world, funding women-owned businesses, amplifying your voice and visibility, building high-value networks, leadership, designing entrepreneurial ecosystems that benefit humanity, the importance of financial acumen and literacy, and wealth building strategies Less than 2% of women-owned businesses scale beyond seven figures.
