While many radio stations and media titles keep the podcast charts filled with podcast editions of popular radio show, the really big names in the medium understand that intimacy and vulnerability make for success.

What accomplishment are you most proud of?
I love my career, but my family comes first. I think part of my passion in helping other women in business is helping them realize that having a family and having a career are not mutually exclusive.

What motivates you?
There’s a couple of things. I have a background in performing, which is how I got into business in the first place because I was really motivated by the idea that I could financially support myself and be able to do what I love. Obviously acting and music are the not most financially sustainable career paths, so I wanted to still be able to do the things the I love but also have some backing behind me and be able to work for myself and be flexible in that sense.
