What happens when women trust their intuition and transform personal struggles into purposeful businesses? In this candid conversation celebrating International Women's Day 2025, host Jacqueline Correa welcomes two remarkable entrepreneurs who've built thriving businesses by honoring their authentic gifts and challenging conventional paths.
Meet Olu, who after nearly three decades as a senior law clerk, found herself on sick leave battling depression and anxiety. Through spiritual guidance, she discovered her calling as a certified motivational life coach and founded the Let's Talk Women's Conference. Her journey illuminates how burnout can become the catalyst for meaningful transformation when we finally prioritize our wellbeing.
Then there's Shaz, who built a wellness empire (with 467,000 TikTok followers) after conventional medicine failed to address her chronic health issues. When she was unethically let go during maternity leave, she recognized it as the universe's nudge toward entrepreneurship. As she shares, "Being an entrepreneur is the most spiritual thing you can do, because you have to actually choose you every single day."
Their stories highlight the unique challenges women face – from workplace discrimination during childbearing years to societal expectations about caregiving roles. Yet they also reveal the tremendous power of female intuition, community support, and the courage to trust your unique gifts. Whether building businesses through traditional networking or digital platforms, these women demonstrate how entrepreneurship allows us to create success aligned with our values.
For those feeling called to something greater than their current circumstances, this episode offers practical wisdom about confronting imposter syndrome, balancing family responsibilities, and finding mentors who understand your vision. As Jacqueline reminds us, "In each of us there is a gift, and that gift is so dying to come up, because we were never made to do nine to five."
Ready to transform your own challenges into purpose-driven success? Listen and discover how these women created businesses that feel like "playing in a sandbox" rather than working a job. Your authentic path awaits.
