"Endings and beginnings are illusions. Starting over is nothing more than recognizing the pause before picking up your thread and continuing to weave your own story." ― Molly Cantrell-Kraig Did you know I've been hosting Glambition Radio since 2014? (What is that in 'podcast years'?)  I've enjoyed hundreds of incredible conversations with fascinating women founders, leaders, and celebrities – from...

As a follow up to our convo on episode 297, the incredible Danielle Laporte and I dug in deeper on a powerful IG live a few weeks ago. It was so good, I wanted to make sure you heard it here on Glambition Radio!  Within all the chaos of the current time, we focused on the importance of moving forward now operating from *the highest frequency available* to us… LOVE. ❤️ Don't miss it. And, be sure t...

Today I want to share what I both witnessed and experienced at my recent event ICONIC: The Revolution, and it has to do with the powerful concept of SUBTRACTION.  In business we worship nonstop expansion, adding on, increasing volume, and stacking layers of complexity onto what we do. Today instead, I invite you to honor the subtraction, or *taking away*, and study its results. This will actually...

OK let's just say… earwax? Not sexy. Building a multi-million dollar biotech company without a science-based degree? Sexy! And our guest today did it.  Elyse Stoltz Dickerson is cofounder + CEO of Eosera, whose mission is to develop innovative products that address underserved healthcare needs. Among Eosera's many industry awards-- including ranking on Inc 5000's National List of fastest-growing p...

At our recent meeting for The Trust, a clear theme emerged just during our first session. There is currently a simultaneous occurrence for all of us, consisting of huge new opportunities along with huge demand to LET GO of something else in order to move in the right direction. And along with all this, feeling some crazy damn chaos on the perimeter!  But is all that chaos around us right now actua...

With over two decades as a TV reporter and creator of CNBC's 'Disruptor 50' franchise, Julia Boorstin has interviewed and studied thousands of business leaders. And while witnessing the dearth of women in positions of leadership, she committed to the ideal that true gender equity shouldn't be a pipe dream.  In her newly released book, ' WHEN WOMEN LEAD: What They Achieve, Why They Succeed, and How...

Do you remember the Bible story about the golden calf? It's basically revealing of human nature and our tendency to stray away from what's true in the name of what's new, sexier, faster, or 'here right now'. This is one of my favorite stories that we can also relate to in business. Because we have all created – or have even been told to workshop  – our own golden calves… or 'false gods'.  For the...

WOW… I was thrilled to have Danielle Laporte back on #GlambitionRadio to talk about… LOVE. Not love as in loving another person in particular, but a concept much greater, and the theme of her new book ' How To Be Loving…when your heart is breaking open and the world is waking up .' And, what does this have to do with ourselves as business owners and leaders? More than you may realize, in today's t...

I've always been in love with writing, since I was little. Using words in the right way to convey your point to the fullest. Finding just the right word that can replace a string of five others. Expressing emotions that are hard to convey. And more.  But I never knew what copywriting actually was until my mid-20s, when I landed a job at a midtown boutique ad agency. It blended my love of both word...

There are multiple timelines in existence right now. And it's critical that we consciously select the higher ones… as entrepreneurs, as mothers, as citizens, as humans.  Because we are here to help bring the world through to 'the other side', in more ways than one. As entrepreneurs, we are likely here to create new ways of doing business. But in the overarching scope of things, we are really here...

How many fashion retailers came out of the last two years not only sustaining their business but landing well ahead of where they were? And also right after opening several new retail locations beforehand? You're about to hear that story, but there's much more to Paige Adams-Geller and her company PAIGE than meets the eye. I first pulled on a pair of PAIGE jeans back in 2006 and felt I'd finally f...

She tried to 'give away' her brilliant idea dozens of times, but no one in her industry wanted it. So finally, Suneera Madhani did it herself. Today, her company Stax has a $1 BILLION valuation (and it's the first women-led fintech company to do so). And all those guys who rejected her? They are now her partners. ;)   Suneera grew up in the U.S. with immigrant parents who were entrepreneurs out of...

Happy summer! The twins and I are packing to leave next week for our annual road trip through Southern California. So what am I doing with #GlambitionRadio while we're gone? Something NEW and fun, and I've wanted to do this for quite awhile...   It started with many of you asking for more SOLO episodes – ones where I share more about my observations, advice, and stories from my experiences.   And...

Right now there are battles going on around the world, on every level, in every way. But they are also a mirror for what's going on within *ourselves*.   We are trying to solve problems with the same mindsets + systems that created them. And we are caught in an endless loop of madness. I do see and feel that so many are finally realizing that a *massive change* is needed. But… how does that apply...

It's the women who are doing business differently, in an extraordinary way. And there's one particular 'Alpha Femme' epitomizing this movement: Melanie Ann Layer of Quebec, Canada.    Starting as an 'invisible coach' in 2017, whose name was shared solely by word of mouth, Melanie's business and Alpha Femme brand quickly grew – without a website, podcast, viral videos, ads, or a best-selling book. ...

'Let It Be Easy' with Susie Moore — Glambition® Radio Episode 285 with Ali Brown Can it really be… this… EASY? Our guest today says YES… even if you're in the midst of what feels like a struggle. I have to admit, I'd known OF Susie over the years and felt like I already 'knew' her. But then we finally talked (on this episode)! There were SO many things I wasn't aware of that make both her story an...

After being so overworked with up to 80 hour weeks that she fell into a 10-day *coma*, Sunny Smith, M.D., vowed to not only change her life, but the life of the other female physicians in the same situation. But the true 'how' didn't appear before her, until another unfortunate accident years later (while biking in Moorea)  forced her to once again not only slow down but also consider her next cha...

As high-achieving women, we often don't consider how much we're operating in our *masculine* energy. And we assume that business is supposed to feel hard — and even at times unenjoyable. Could there really be another way? And if so, would it actually feel 'backwards' compared with how we've been trained to do business?  But today's Glambition Radio guest, Emily Aarons, is all about making quantum...

LASHES… they're everywhere, and now many of us can't go without them. They've become a lucrative category within the business of beauty. But where did this eyelash extension trend come from in the first place, when did it happen, and who really took it mainstream?    Meet Anna Phillips , founder and chief innovation officer of The Lash Lounge , who first spotted the semi-permanent lash opportunity...

In today's society, it's become increasingly important to examine different perspectives with both curiosity and discernment . But how do we nurture this — both in ourselves and in our children? Enter Julie Bogart, whose new book on the topic of critical thinking prompted me to invite her onto an Instagram live just a few weeks ago. Our conversation was SO good that I said, 'We've got to also get...
