The Women On Top
HELLO, Gorgeous.
Welcome to The Women On Top — the mentorship podcast you’ve always wanted, designed by women, for women.
Here, we’re not about competition; we’re about collaboration. This is where female leaders, rising disruptors, and bold changemakers pull back the curtain and share the lessons, the failures, and the breakthroughs that shaped them.
Think unfiltered wisdom, candid conversations, and the kind of advice you’d only get if you were sitting across from them over coffee—or champagne.
From boardrooms to startups, side hustles to personal reinventions, we’re learning directly from women who are rewriting what leadership looks like. They’re not gatekeeping; they’re handing you the playbook.
So, if you’ve ever wished for a mentor in your ear—someone who gets it, who’s been there, and who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is—this is your podcast.
Grab your espresso, adjust your heels, and let’s strut to the top—because we don’t just break glass ceilings, we own the skyline.
>Disclaimer: No actual glass ceilings were harmed in the making of this podcast… yet!

Solo Episode: The Coffee Chat That Changed Everything - My Journey to Leadership
Episode Summary:
What does it really mean to be a leader? For most of my career, I thought leadership belonged to the people with big titles—the managers, VPs, and executives. But then something unexpected happened. A women’s resource group changed everything I thought I knew about leadership, community, and myself.
In this solo episode, I’m sharing the story of how one idea—hosting a simple coffee chat—grew into a thriving series, a leadership role I never planned on, and ultimately, a completely new perspective on what leadership actually is. Spoiler: it’s not about titles, job descriptions, or polished perfection. It’s about courage, connection, and love.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
💡 How the pandemic nudged me into creating the space I was secretly craving
☕ The behind-the-scenes of starting the first women’s coffee chat
👩💼 Why stepping into leadership wasn’t about chasing a title, but following a spark
❤️ The surprising lessons about courage, connection, and messy, human leadership
📣 An invitation to reflect on the leaders who have shaped you
Takeaway:
Leadership isn’t something you wait to be handed—it’s something you step into by listening, loving, and creating what you wish existed. And chances are, you’re already leading more than you realize.
