  • My Take: Why Sales Is the Real Job (Even If You Hate Sales) — with Julia Arpag

    My Take: Why Sales Is the Real Job (Even If You Hate Sales) — with Julia Arpag
    Feb 6 2026
    I’m saying the quiet part out loud: if you don’t build your sales muscle, growth stalls - no matter how talented you are. In this episode, Julia Arpag, CEO and Founder of Aligned Recruitment, shares with me how she went from five weeks postpartum and laid off to building a seven-figure tech recruitment firm by treating selling as service, investing early in mentorship, and using LinkedIn + networking like a real funnel.Julia’s journey began in August 2023 when she was unexpectedly laid off while on maternity leave. What could have been a destabilizing moment became the catalyst for something extraordinary. While briefly accepting a W-2 role, she started selling for a friend’s startup recruitment venture on the side. Within months, she closed three retainer clients. That early traction forced a pivotal decision: continue playing it safe, or step fully into entrepreneurship despite fears around sales, taxes, and “not knowing enough.” She chose the leap. Rather than trying to figure everything out alone, Julia invested her earliest earnings into mentorship by hiring an executive coach who had sold a recruitment agency for $28 million, a LinkedIn writing coach, and systems experts. Inspired by Carol Dweck’s Mindset and the philosophy of “Who Not How,” she built her sales muscle, reframed selling as service, and adopted a growth mindset that became foundational to Aligned Recruitment’s rapid success. She reminds us that for women entrepreneurs especially, seeking support is often the difference between staying small and scaling meaningfully. We also explored Julia’s tactical wisdom as a recruiter, including why job seekers should treat their search like a sales funnel, how to optimize LinkedIn to be discovered, and why networking consistently outperforms cold online applications. At a deeper level, Julia challenges the idea that business success must come at the cost of personal well-being. Her philosophy is clear: build a business around your life, not the other way around. This conversation is a powerful reminder for all of us that profitability, purpose, and peace can coexist. Tune in to hear my conversation with Julia Arpag and how she is redefining what it looks like for women to lead, sell, and scale without losing themselves in the process.

  • Become the Obvious Choice: Brand Positioning That Turns Reputation Into Demand | Paige Arnof-Fenn

    Become the Obvious Choice: Brand Positioning That Turns Reputation Into Demand | Paige Arnof-Fenn
    Jan 30 2026
    Paige Arnof-Fenn shares how to stop competing on price by sharpening brand positioning, owning a niche, and turning reputation + referrals into consistent demand.In this episode, Paige Arnof-Fenn shares her journey from investment banking to branding powerhouse and discovering her true calling in marketing, building a distributed firm long before remote work was mainstream, and detailing how to turn expertise into profitable, high-impact businesses. Paige is the founder and CEO of Mavens & Moguls, a global branding and digital marketing firm that has worked with clients like Microsoft, Virgin, The New York Times Company, and Colgate. Her path to entrepreneurship didn’t begin with a clear plan, but with a series of courageous pivots that led her from Wall Street to marketing leadership at P&G and Coca-Cola, and eventually to building her own agency. Along the way, she learned that success is less about following a script and more about honoring the parts of work that energize you.The turning points in Paige’s story are rooted in self-awareness and bold action. After realizing investment banking didn’t align with her values or passion, she shifted into marketing, first through business school, then by shaping brand strategy at major corporations and startups. She watched the internet industry emerge in the late ’90s and embraced it, later using the post-9/11 job market as a catalyst to launch her own business. What could have been a moment of fear became the start of a 24-year journey building a thriving firm with a distributed team across multiple cities and countries.Paige’s most powerful insights center on clarity, niche, and validation. She encourages women entrepreneurs to treat themselves as a brand, not a commodity, and to build businesses based on real market research, not friendly feedback. She champions differentiation through specificity, sharing how dominating one niche beats trying to please everyone, and explains how profitability is the foundation for meaningful impact.Paige’s story is a celebration of women’s leadership, resilience, and the power of building businesses that create real change. If you’re ready to rethink what entrepreneurship can look like, and how to build it with intention and confidence, this conversation is for you. Tune in and be inspired.Chapters00:56 👩‍💼 Meet Paige Arnof-Fenn From Stanford to CEO03:13 💼 Paige’s Journey in Investment Banking06:26 📈 Discovering a Passion for Marketing09:40 🚀 Building a Successful Marketing Firm23:42 🌍 Pioneering Outsourced Marketing24:04 🏆 Early Success and Harvard Recognition28:19 💡 Positioning Strategy for Women Founders: Brand vs Commodity29:45 📣 Niche + Market Research: Validation That Creates Demand35:18 🔁 The Referral Engine: Becoming the Default Choice42:28 💖 Philanthropy and Legacy LinksWebsite: www.mavensandmoguls.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/paigearnoffenn Check out Paige Arnof-Fenn’s website, connect with her on LinkedIn, and explore her work with Mavens & Moguls to learn how to build a brand-driven business that scales with clarity, purpose, and impact.

  • Emotional Intelligence, Mediation, and Money for Women Entrepreneurs and Leaders - with Katherine Eisold Miller

    Emotional Intelligence, Mediation, and Money for Women Entrepreneurs and Leaders - with Katherine Eisold Miller
    Jan 23 2026
    From courtroom litigator to emotionally intelligent mediator, Katherine Eisold Miller shares how she is reshaping divorce into a process grounded in clarity, compassion, and agency for women navigating one of life’s hardest transitions.Today, I sit down with Katherine Miller, founder of the Miller Law Group and a New York-based divorce attorney, mediator, author, and podcast host who is changing the cultural conversation around divorce. Coming from a family of therapists, Katherine saw early in her legal career that traditional litigation focused on winning rather than helping people through deeply personal crises. Her work now centers on mediation and emotionally savvy decision-making, empowering women to move through divorce without losing themselves in the process.Katherine opens up about her early years handling hundreds of child welfare and litigation cases and the moment she realized there had to be a better way. With nearly all divorces settling outside of trial, she chose to pursue mediation training to help people make thoughtful decisions aligned with their real priorities. That pivot marked a powerful shift from adversarial problem-solving to collaborative clarity, especially for women who often carry the emotional and financial weight of family transitions.We dive into the art of listening beyond surface-level demands to uncover what truly matters, whether in divorce, entrepreneurship, or leadership. Katherine explains how interrupting destructive conflict patterns creates space for solutions that honor both parties’ needs. She also shares why conversations about money, prenuptial agreements, and financial values are not signs of failure, but foundations for stronger partnerships and healthier outcomes.This conversation is a reminder that leadership begins with self-trust, preparation, and the courage to ask better questions. Katherine’s insights offer women permission to approach divorce without shame, fear, or defaulting to systems that do not serve them. If you care about agency, emotional intelligence, and building a life that reflects your values, you will want to listen all the way through.Chapters👩‍⚖️ 00:55 Meet Katherine Miller🛤️ 03:03 Katherine’s Journey to Becoming a Divorce Attorney🤝 05:30 Understanding Mediation in Divorce🗣️ 10:14 The Importance of Listening and Understanding📊 14:02 Divorce Statistics and Trends💡 16:05 Preparing for Divorce with Confidence💼 37:00 Impact of Divorce on Women Entrepreneurs🔚 39:43 Conclusion and Resources LinksWebsite: https://miller-law.com/Socials: Instagram, Facebook, TwitterLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kemiller1/Katherine's Book - Promotional Offer: https://www.amazon.com/Emotionally-Savvy-Divorce-Smart-Negotiations/dp/1774586053 Connect with Katherine Miller through her website and social platforms, explore her work on The Emotionally Savvy Divorce podcast, and learn how emotional intelligence can help you lead yourself through change with confidence and clarity.Thank you to our podcast sponsorGo From Expert to Thought Leader with the Genius Discovery Program.Book Directly with Kent: http://talktokent.com Learn more at: geniusdiscovery.org We're always seeking aligned sponsors.⭐️ If you're interested in supporting our podcast - one episode or a season, reach out to Adrienne at Adrienne@sheleadsmedia.com.⭐️Reach out to Adrienne: hello@sheleadsmedia.com Visit our website: www.sheleadsmedia.com to learn about upcoming events or to work with me directly and get the clarity you’re seeking."I love ♥️ listening to The She Leads™ Podcast!” If that thought crossed your mind at any time while listening to our special show, I’d love it if you would take a moment and give our podcast some love too.
