From corporate executive to wealth and wellness visionary, Nancy Griffin’s journey is a powerful example of what happens when women choose courage over comfort and clarity over perfection.

In this episode, I sit down with Nancy, the founder of Women, Worth & Wellness®, to talk about the deep connection between health, wealth, and self-worth. Nancy’s story began in the corporate world at Procter & Gamble, where she climbed the ranks but felt the pull toward something more meaningful. Her decision to leave corporate life and eventually create a space where women could lead, give, and grow with confidence has since impacted countless lives.

What I love about Nancy’s story is how honest she is about the turning points that shaped her. She speaks candidly about the advice that once held her back, the glass ceilings she pushed through, and the moment she realized that courage was the key to everything. From running for political office to stepping into entrepreneurship, Nancy shows us that reinvention is not just possible but essential for women who want to lead on their own terms.

Throughout our conversation, Nancy shares practical wisdom that every woman should hear. She reminds us that wealth management is not simply about investments but about stewardship, confidence, and understanding the bigger picture of your life. Whether she’s explaining how to build trust with advisors, start saving with whatever you have, or integrate health and wealth as one holistic journey, her insights are grounded, empowering, and deeply human.

Nancy’s perspective is a beautiful reminder that courage is the bridge between self-worth and success. This conversation will inspire you to step into your power, make bold financial decisions, and care for yourself as your greatest asset.

Tune in to hear Nancy’s incredible story and learn how to lead and live with more purpose, confidence, and joy.

From poet to paper artist and conscious entrepreneur, Janna Willoughby-Lohr shares how she built a purpose-driven company that proves creativity and sustainability can spark community, connection, and real economic change.

Janna is the founder and lead artist of Papercraft Miracles, an eco-friendly handmade paper art studio in Buffalo, New York, creating everything from plantable seed paper to realistic paper flowers for clients like Lionel Richie, Lowe’s, Pinterest, and Capital One. Named a Top 10 NAWBO Woman Business Owner of the Year and featured on discovery+’s Meet Your Makers Showdown, Janna has carved out a powerful space in the art and business world by choosing impact over unchecked growth.

Her journey began with financial limitations that led her to Warren Wilson College, where she unexpectedly discovered the book arts department and experienced a spiritual awakening through papermaking. When traditional programs failed to support her vision, she built her own major, combining business, creative arts, and social work, at just nineteen years old. That innovative mindset taught her early on that artists don’t just need technical skill, they need communication, confidence, and courage to own their voice.

In our conversation, Janna dismantles the myth that artists can’t thrive financially and challenges the toxic “fempreneur” culture selling unrealistic success. Instead, she offers a framework of conscious entrepreneurship grounded in sustainability, community, and stakeholder-focused models like B Corps. She shares practical insights on scaling with intention, overcoming imposter syndrome, and designing businesses that honor both people and the planet.

We also dive into authenticity in leadership, the evolution of women’s roles in business, and the rising demand for connection in a digital age. Janna’s work proves that handmade, meaningful experiences can combat isolation and rebuild community, and that women entrepreneurs are uniquely positioned to lead this shift. This episode is an inspiring reminder that your creativity, your voice, and your vision matter more than perfection.

Tune in to hear how Janna is redefining success and lighting the path for purpose-driven founders everywhere.
