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.

In this episode of The Women On Top, Valerie Lynn sits down with Sarah Arvizu, a stage three breast cancer thriver and the founder of the Creating Sunshine podcast and the Sunshine Era. Their conversation unfolds like a quiet journey through fear, resilience, and transformation, where every moment, small or monumental, holds meaning.
Sarah opens up about her cancer experience, the life-altering diagnosis, and the unexpected lessons it brought. She shares the power of storytelling, the way vulnerability can create connection, and how building a supportive community can become a lifeline. Through reflection, laughter, and honesty, Sarah invites listeners into her world—a space where strength is born in openness, self-care is non-negotiable, and embracing the present becomes a daily practice.
This episode is for anyone navigating life’s challenges, seeking to find meaning in adversity, or yearning to create a life full of connection, joy, and purpose.
