What started as a funny “same name” connection turned into a powerful conversation you won’t want to miss.

In this episode, I sit down with Sharon Lee Thony, founder and CEO of SLTC, to talk about her journey from corporate advertising to building a thriving digital marketing agency. We dive into the real moments behind the success—taking risks, navigating motherhood while earning her MBA, and learning to trust herself before everything felt “figured out.”

This conversation is honest, relatable, and full of perspective for any woman navigating career growth, big decisions, or the pull toward entrepreneurship.

In this episode of the InPowered Women Podcast, Sharon Lee sits down with Rachael Horn, Growth Partner at Vye Agency, for a lively conversation about marketing, strategy, career pivots, and the power of building a strong foundation for growth. From her early work in the nonprofit world to teaching English in Italy during COVID, Rachael shares how each chapter shaped the marketing leader she is today.

Now based in Nashville, Rachael works with companies to create strategic marketing plans built around real business goals, target audience research, and measurable results. She and Sharon also dig into AI in marketing, CRM strategy, consistent messaging, and why businesses can’t afford to “set it and forget it” when it comes to growth.

And because this is InPowered Women, the conversation also gets personal. Rachael talks about becoming a yoga instructor, building a side wellness offering, and bringing energy, balance, and intention into both work and life. This episode is insightful, high-energy, and a whole lot of fun — with the added bonus that Sharon and Rachael also happen to be aunt and niece.
