    Demanding Excellence, Designing Romance & Building the Impossible | Ashley Pigott | Luxury Wedding Producer & Founder of Ashley Pigott Events
    Mar 4 2026
    Romance is being reclaimed at a moment when culture feels rushed, transactional, and increasingly disconnected. As social media accelerates trends and weddings risk becoming aesthetic checklists, many couples are left wondering whether they’re planning a meaningful experience or performing one. In this episode, Kara Duffy sits down with Ashley Pigott, luxury wedding producer and founder of Ashley Pigott Events, to explore why excellence, intentionality, and human connection are the true foundations of unforgettable celebrations. Together, they unpack the difference between a planner and a producer, the psychology of guest experience, the invisible infrastructure that makes magic possible, and why labor, lighting, and logistics matter just as much as flowers and fashion. Ashley shares how her humble beginnings shaped her leadership style, why listening is her most important creative tool, and how she’s raising daughters to use their voices in rooms that once asked women to shrink. —------------- The Powerful Ladies podcast, hosted by business coach and strategist Kara Duffy features candid conversations with entrepreneurs, creatives, athletes, chefs, writers, scientists, and more.

  • Pink Zones, Menopause & the Midlife Power Shift | Dr. Heidi Lescanec | Naturopathic Doctor & Women’s Health Advocate

    Pink Zones, Menopause & the Midlife Power Shift | Dr. Heidi Lescanec | Naturopathic Doctor & Women’s Health Advocate
    Feb 25 2026
    Midlife is being redefined at a moment when women are questioning outdated narratives around aging, productivity, and worth. As healthcare gaps widen and cultural messaging pushes anti-aging at all costs, many women are left wondering whether what they’re experiencing is a breakdown or a breakthrough. In this episode, Kara Duffy sits down with Dr. Heidi Lescanec, Naturopathic Doctor and creator of the Pink Zones, to explore why menopause is not a crisis, but a recalibration - biologically, emotionally, and culturally. Heidi shares insights from her 20+ years in women’s hormone health and her global research into communities where women thrive as they age with vitality and reverence. Together, they unpack the nervous system’s role in longevity, the rewiring of the female brain during perimenopause, the research gaps in women’s healthcare, and why middle-aged women are emerging as a powerful cultural and political force. This conversation examines what it means to move beyond symptom management, reclaim creative vitality, and redesign systems that honor women at every stage of life, not just their youth.

    The Art of Asking Better Questions & Selling with Integrity | Nitya Kirat | Sales Coach & Author of Winning Virtually
    Feb 18 2026
    Sales doesn’t have to feel pushy, awkward, or inauthentic. In fact, according to sales and communication expert Nitya Kirat, great selling has nothing to do with persuasion tactics and everything to do with trust. In this episode, Nitya, CEO of YOSD Consulting, shares why the best salespeople ask the best questions, how to simplify your messaging so people actually understand what you do, and why rushing the sales process is costing you more than you realize. We dive into emotional intelligence, knowing yourself as a seller, overcoming money stories, and creating a consistent sales process that works, even in uncertain economic times. If you’ve ever said “I hate sales” or struggled to convert great conversations into paying clients, this episode will completely shift how you think about selling.
