Be a Guest on FoundHer Rising

“FoundHer Rising is a podcast for women founders in wellness, coaching, and consulting who have built successful service-based businesses, and are realizing that growth didn’t simplify things. It exposed new complexity, responsibility, and decisions they didn’t expect. This show isn’t about inspiration or surface-level advice. It’s a space for honest, grounded conversations about what scaling actually requires once effort stops being the answer.
