Today I am joined by LY Marlow, who is an award winning author, speaker, podcaster, entrepreneur, philanthropist and women’s empowerment advocate.  I am always on the lookout for guests who are inspiring examples of overcoming obstacles, regardless of what their specific challenges might be, and LY is no exception. 

LY grew up with few advantages, in a family culture of domestic violence, teen pregnancy, low expectations and bad choices.  We talked at length about...

If you are a regular listener of The Driven Woman Podcast, you are probably a perfectionist. The Driven Woman is ambitious,  hard working,  strives for excellence and wants to be the best at everything she does, there just doesn’t seem to be enough hours to the day to get it all done, to her satisfaction.  

That’s why we are talking about perfectionism again this week.  If you want to go back to Episode #12, The Cure for Perfectionism,  you can get a...

I first met today’s guest, April Adams Pertuis, in an online community for female entrepreneurs.  She was an award-winning journalist for many years, before deciding to take her skills online to reach as many people as possible. 

April believes every woman has a story to tell and it’s her mission to teach them how.  There are so many fears to be identified and overcome, but there is so much power in our stories and when we share them, we inspire others to do the...

Today I am joined by Cait Donovan,  who is a burnout expert, something that many female entrepreneurs are at risk of, especially the gifted, creative, sensitive ones.  Cait is not only a burnout coach, but she is also a licensed acupuncturist, speaker, author, course creator and fellow podcaster.  

Like many driven women, Cait learned about burnout the hard way, by going through it. She figured out how she ended up there, how to bounce back and now she is on a mission to...

While slogging away on the treadmill at 5:30 this morning, I had Rachel Hollis in my earholes. She was answering a listener question about making a hard decision. Her advice was spot on. Just choose. Choose and commit. This will get you into motion, instead of overthinking and spinning your wheels. Once you've gotten rolling, you can reassess, but if you're still in the starting blocks, you have no data to analyze whether you made the right choice, or not.

By now, I was sweating, not just...

Today I am joined by Nicole Grey, a 27-year-old single mother of two who lives in New Zealand.  I saw Nicole’s story online and reached out to see if she’d be willing to share it with the Driven Woman Podcast audience.  

Like most of us, Nicole had no idea that she had ADHD until well into adult life.  

• Nicole was homeschooled and raised in a very supportive, religious community so she never received negative feedback about her behavior  
• She...

If you struggle with inconsistent energy and brain fog, you have probably tried just about everything to get a handle on it.  One thing you may have heard about, but haven’t tried yet is Intermittent Fasting.  

I have been curious about it myself, and like many,  I feel motivated at the beginning of a new year to improve my health habits, so I invited an expert to give us the down-low on IF.  

Today we are joined by Marisa Moon, certified primal health...
