The She Leads Podcast: Real Conversations with Women Entrepreneurs

 Understanding and maintaining your mental health is the key to showing up positively in life and business. Dr. Bonnie Wims is a therapist who shares her wisdom on the cycle of self-sabotaging behavior and why women need to self-reflect to move forward with self-worth. It’s no secret that gender disparities show up in many social situations like work and family dynamics, and women are often talked over and ignored. Many of us are validating these behaviors by silencing ourselves and complying, even if we don’t agree, and this can lead to negative internalized messages and a lack of self-worth. It’s time for us to honor ourselves and understand our anxieties so we can learn from our insecurities and use them as tools to grow and move forward. Stop accepting less and find or create a place that deserves your talent!

What is The She Leads Podcast: Real Conversations with Women Entrepreneurs?

The She Leads Podcast, hosted by Adrienne Garland, is the podcast for women leaders and women entrepreneurs who are sick of sugar coating what they say and how they say it. Each week, Adrienne explores entrepreneurial stories, businesses, and challenges that women entrepreneurs face with a wide range of guests who are open to sharing their authentic stories in a refreshing and real way. For far too long, women have been sugar coating our voices, thoughts, and opinions, but that stops here and now! The She Leads Podcast, formerly Sugar Coated, is the place where women leaders can express their brilliance without sugar-coating anything. This podcast offers a platform for super-practical, actionable advice for women to overcome challenges and to make a significant impact on our families, our communities, and our world. Adrienne Garland, CEO of She Leads Media - entrepreneur, media producer, and adjunct professor rejects the notion that women must be deferential to those currently in power and pull back our opinions.
