Adrienne’s incredible, multi-passionate guest - Shannon Marie Whittington - is a John Maxwell Servant Based Leadership Expert, author of two books, a leadership consultant specializing in LGBTQ inclusion, a transgender health expert, and a Registered Nurse. We discuss what it’s like for people to live in a heteronormative world and how the LGBTQ population handles all the prejudices in families, companies, and the healthcare system. Lean why all companies should learn about LGBT inclusion, and how the nursing profession has evolved from ‘just’ bedside nursing.

What is The She Leads® Podcast - Wealth Building & Business Growth?
The She Leads Podcast is where women entrepreneurs and business leaders get the real strategies behind scaling a business to one million dollars and beyond. Each week, host Adrienne Garland, CEO of She Leads Media, professor at NYU and Rice University, and business growth advisor, speaks with women who have actually built it: founders who broke past the revenue ceiling, executives leading thousands, and strategists rethinking how women build wealth, lead teams, and grow companies. Episodes cover business growth strategies for women, from pricing and hiring to leadership communication, AI and the future of work, networking and social capital, and the founder to CEO transition. If you're a woman entrepreneur building toward your first million or your next one, this is the show that meets you where you actually are: past the motivational fluff, deep in the work, and ready to scale.
