    S3Ep140: Owning the Pivot with Andy McNicol, Founder of AMstudio

    At some point, every ambitious woman faces a moment that tests who she really is. When the title disappears, the safety net falls away, and all that’s left is her own voice. For Andy McNicol, that moment came after 22 years inside one of the most powerful talent agencies in the world. Laid off in the middle of a pandemic and preparing to become a single mom by choice, she had to decide whether to chase another job… or finally build something that was entirely her own. What happened next wasn’t just a career pivot. It was a reclamation. Andy created AMstudio, rebuilt her identity from the inside out, and turned uncertainty into independence. Her story is every woman’s reminder that starting over isn’t a detour. It’s often the most direct path to your power. Key Takeaways: - The job doesn’t define you — your voice does. - There’s no “right time” to start a new chapter. - Following your passion isn’t reckless — it’s how you find your purpose. - Community is your greatest asset in both business and motherhood. - Authenticity beats “faking it” every time.

    S3Ep139: When the System Leaves Us Out, We Build Our Own with Lisa Myers, Founder & CEO of Ceres Chill

    There’s a moment every woman hits, that quiet breaking point between what the world expects of us and what we know we deserve. For Lisa Myers, that moment came somewhere between court filings, breast pumps, and 3 A.M. feedings. The world had innovated for everyone else except working moms. Lisa didn’t have an engineering degree, a trust fund, or an army of advisors. What she had was an idea and the audacity to believe she could build it herself. That spark became Ceres Chill, a company changing how women move through motherhood, work, and life. But this isn’t just Lisa’s story. It’s every woman’s story. The one where we’re told to stay quiet, be humble, play nice, and wait our turn. And like Lisa, it’s about what happens when we stop waiting and start building. Key Takeaways: - Success is creating something that helps women live and lead on their own terms. - You don’t need permission to start. - Talking about what you’ve built isn’t showing off — it’s showing what’s possible. - Community is the real engine of success. - Disruption starts with one woman saying, “This isn’t good enough.” Learn More About Lisa: Website: cereschill.com LinkedIn: Lisa Myers Instagram: @cereschill About Our Guest: Lisa Myers is the Founder of Ceres Chill, a company dedicated to ensuring the success of breastfeeding parents and the health of the world’s most vulnerable infants. In just the last few years, Lisa became a mother of two, was promoted to equity partner at an international law firm and created a company - all while enduring universal breastfeeding challenges. She struggled and failed to meet her breastfeeding goals. Through her struggles, she was inspired to invent a patented breast milk chilling thermos to help women all over the world keep their breastmilk safe and achieve their breastfeeding goals. She will never stop advocating for working women and breastfeeding families. About Our Company, The Justice Dept.

    S3Ep138: The Power of the Hype Woman with Erin Gallagher, Founder & CEO of HYPE WOMEN

    Erin Gallagher spent fifteen years doing everything right. Working hard, staying grateful, keeping her head down. But “doing everything right” almost cost her everything. When she became a mother, the illusion of safety in corporate America shattered. She realized she had been abandoning herself in service to everyone else. Her job, her bosses, her expectations. So she walked away. What started as a bold leap turned into a revolution. Erin launched companies built to empower women, led equity work for major brands, and created Hype Women, a global reminder of what happens when women celebrate each other without competition, apology, or restraint. Key Takeaways: - The patriarchy thrives when women compete; it crumbles when we collaborate. - The “mean girl” inside you is learned behavior that you get to unlearn. - You don’t need permission to take up space. - Real power comes from connection, not competition. - Burn the bridge if it keeps you small.

And when her company was sold for a fraction of what it’s worth today, she didn’t quit. She started again. Fran’s story isn’t just about startups. It’s about stamina. It’s about the quiet power of women who see what’s missing and decide to build it themselves. From creating trust in the earliest days of the internet to leading a company that helps thousands of moms become entrepreneurs, Fran embodies what it means to take risks, get back up, and redefine what success looks like on your own terms.

    S3Ep136: Scaling Yourself, Not Just Your Career with Sehreen Noor Ali, Founder of Te Cura Labs

    There comes a moment for every ambitious woman when the grind no longer feels like growth. When the late nights, the accolades, and the endless “yeses” stop feeling like success and start feeling like survival. For Sehreen Noor Ali, that moment became a turning point. A venture-backed founder who had built her reputation in the fast-moving world of AI and startups, Sehreen had done everything “right.” Until life forced her to stop. And in that stillness, she discovered something most women never get the chance to find: space. Space to ask what do I really want?Space to imagine ambition that includes family, health, and joy.Space to say no without apology. Her story is a mirror for every woman who’s ever been told to keep pushing, keep performing, keep proving her worth. It’s proof that success doesn’t have to mean burnout and that the most radical thing a woman can do is redefine what achievement looks like on her own terms. Key Takeaways: Saying “no” is often the most powerful yes to yourself.Burnout can be the catalyst for a more aligned, intentional career.You don’t have to be an AI expert, just AI literate for the expert you already are.Mindset shifts can redefine what success looks like in every season of life.You can build ambition and balance if you make space for both.Learn More About Sehreen: LinkedIn: Sehreen Noor Ali Website: sehreen.com About Our Guest: Sehreen Noor Ali spent years launching startups, most recently co-founding Sleuth, a Fast Company award winning platform that used crowdsourced data and AI to rethink how we approach children’s health.

    S3Ep135: The Truth About Menopause with Joanna Strober, Co-Founder & CEO of Midi Health

    For too long, women have been told to “just deal with it” when it comes to menopause. Symptoms dismissed, pain minimized, hormones ignored. Joanna Strober wasn’t willing to accept that, and she’s making sure the rest of us don’t have to either. As the co-founder and CEO of Midi Health, Joanna is rewriting the rules for women’s healthcare. Menopause isn’t a niche issue. It’s a universal experience for women. And yet the system wasn’t built for us. Joanna’s story is about building power in an overlooked market, creating access where there was none, and showing that women’s health is not only necessary, it’s non-negotiable. Key Takeaways: The best time to optimize women’s health is nowHow Joanna turned her personal health struggles into a national companyThe myths about perimenopause and menopause that are holding women backWomen need choices, not gatekeepers, when it comes to their healthMenopause is inevitable, but suffering through it doesn’t have to beLearn More About Joanna: Website: joinmidi.com LinkedIn: Joanna Strober Instagram: @joannastrober About Our Guest: Joanna Strober is a visionary healthcare leader and CEO/co-founder of Midi Health, the fastest-growing national telehealth clinic transforming how women navigate menopause and midlife.

Before Midi, she founded and scaled Kurbo Health, a digital platform tackling childhood obesity, which was acquired by WW in 2018. Recognized as a CNBC 2025 Changemakers and TIME100 Most Influential People in Health 2025, Joanna is a fierce advocate for women’s health equity. Her leadership has earned national honors—including a White House award for her groundbreaking campaign protecting women’s healthcare access—and sparked viral conversations that challenge the status quo, like forcing Noom to retract an ageist ad. Backed by visionary investors such as Sheryl Sandberg, Connie Britton, and Amy Schumer, Joanna is at the forefront of redefining care for women at midlife, driving real, systemic change in a historically neglected space.

    S3Ep134: The Woman Who Reinvented How We Shop with Julie Bornstein, Founder & CEO of Daydream

    Julie Bornstein was told she didn’t fit the mold of a founder. That the venture world doesn’t fund women at scale. That maybe she’d missed her chance. Instead, she raised $50 million and built Daydream, a company poised to transform the way we shop forever. Julie’s path proves a truth too often ignored: women with experience are not a liability, they are a force. They know how to lead. They know how to scale. They know how to create the future. This isn’t just Julie’s story. It’s the story of every woman who has ever been underestimated. Of every woman told she was “too much” or “too late.” Of every woman who knows in her bones that conviction, resilience, and vision matter more than anyone else’s doubt. Julie is living proof: women founders don’t just belong at the table. They build the table. Key Takeaways: Conviction is the most valuable currency when raising capital.Starting from scratch creates the freedom to innovate without old limits.The future belongs to the builders, not the bystanders.You’re never “too old” or “too late” to build something transformative.Resilience and risk-taking are essential muscles every founder must build.Learn More About Julie: Website: daydream.ing Instagram: @daydream LinkedIn: Julie Bornstein Instagram: @julie.bornstein About Our Guest: Julie Bornstein is the Founder and CEO of Daydream, the world’s first AI-powered, chat-based shopping agent built exclusively for fashion that introduces a radically new way to shop through personalized, conversational discovery.

    S3Ep133: Matcha Made Her Do It: The Rise of Matchaful with Hannah Habes, Founder & Chief Matcha Officer of Matchaful

    Hannah Habes didn’t set out to spark a matcha movement. She set out to heal herself. What started as a personal health journey became the foundation for Matchaful, a brand that’s grown from Hannah biking around New York with a backpack full of matcha to seven thriving cafes and a wholesale business across the U.S. Too often, women are told to play it safe. Don’t quit the job. Don’t take the risk. Don’t go it alone. Hannah did the opposite. Along the way, she ignored the “rules,” trusted her instincts, and built her business with grit, creativity, and persistence. Key Takeaways: The real story behind bootstrapping and scaling Matchaful in New York City Why sustainable growth matters more than rapid expansion The importance of owning your customer experience Why staying connected to your product’s source builds authenticity and trust Believing in your product sometimes matters more than convincing skeptics Learn More About Hannah: Website: matchaful.com Instagram: @chiefmatchaofficer Instagram: @matchaful LinkedIn: Hannah Habes About Our Guest: Hannah Habes is the founder of Matchaful, a female-led botanical nutrition brand offering direct-trade, single-origin matcha, and plant-based snacks. After experiencing burnout in the food industry, she built Matchaful around transparency, ritual, and intentional sourcing, knocking on café doors with samples and whisking drinks herself, while holding off on launch until she found the perfect farm partner. From a solar-shaded tea farm in Shizuoka to NYC cafés known for refined sugar-free lattes and functional snacks, Hannah is reshaping wellness culture with sustainably sourced ingredients and calming, restorative experiences rooted in Japanese tradition.
