HELLO, Gorgeous.


Welcome to The Women On Top — the mentorship podcast you’ve always wanted, designed by women, for women.


Here, we’re not about competition; we’re about collaboration. This is where female leaders, rising disruptors, and bold changemakers pull back the curtain and share the lessons, the failures, and the breakthroughs that shaped them.

Think unfiltered wisdom, candid conversations, and the kind of advice you’d only get if you were sitting across from them over coffee—or champagne.


From boardrooms to startups, side hustles to personal reinventions, we’re learning directly from women who are rewriting what leadership looks like. They’re not gatekeeping; they’re handing you the playbook.


So, if you’ve ever wished for a mentor in your ear—someone who gets it, who’s been there, and who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is—this is your podcast.

Grab your espresso, adjust your heels, and let’s strut to the top—because we don’t just break glass ceilings, we own the skyline.


>Disclaimer: No actual glass ceilings were harmed in the making of this podcast… yet!

  • Melanie Borden: The Personal Branding Myth Nobody Talks About - Why Visibility Comes Before Confidence
    Apr 8 2026

    Show Notes:

    What if the thing standing between you and your most visible, impactful self isn't a lack of strategy — but a fear you've been calling something else?

    In this episode, I sit down with Melanie Borden — brand strategist, speaker, and author of Theater of the Mind — for an honest, grounding conversation about what it actually means to build a personal brand as a woman. Not the polished version. The real one.

    Melanie has helped hundreds of women step into their professional presence with clarity and confidence, and what she's learned might surprise you: your brand isn't something you create. It's something you uncover. It's the essence of who you already are — and the work is learning how to transfer that into everything you put out into the world.

    We talk about the trap of overthinking, the real reason imposter syndrome keeps showing up, and why so many women are waiting for confidence before they start showing up — when it actually works the other way around. Melanie's framework is simple but transformative: visibility builds confidence, not the other way around.

    Whether you're just beginning to think about your brand or you've been circling it for years, this conversation is your invitation to stop waiting and start being seen.

    In this episode, you'll hear:

    • What a personal brand actually is (and why most people get it wrong)
    • How authenticity and your "inner essence" are the core of everything you put out
    • Why imposter syndrome shows up so often for women — and how to start dismantling it
    • The small but powerful habit of collecting proof of your own achievements
    • Why creating content with your audience in mind (not yourself) changes everything
    • What Melanie means when she says confidence is a result of visibility, not a requirement for it

  • Dalourny Nemorin: Running for Congress as a Woman - A Personal Story of Refusal, Community, and Relentless Hope
    Mar 25 2026

    In this conversation, Dalourny Nemorin shares the story behind the fire that drives her, from her Haitian roots to her work as a public defender, and now, her decision to run for Congress.

    But this episode goes deeper than titles.

    It’s about what it takes to keep going when the work is heavy. How to stay hopeful without becoming naive. And why community is not just important, it’s everything.

    Dalourny reflects on standing on the shoulders of those who came before her, people who believed in change before it was visible, and how that legacy shapes the way she moves through the world today.

    This is a conversation about resilience, responsibility, and the kind of hope that refuses to disappear. A powerful listen for anyone who feels called to something bigger—and is learning how to keep going.

  • Molly Armanino: Where the Mountains Meet Grief - Navigating Loss, Risk, and the Lines We Choose
    Mar 11 2026

    In this deep and raw episode of The Women On Top, Valerie Lynn sits down with world-class freeride skier Molly Armanino for a powerful conversation about courage, intuition, and finding meaning in the mountains.

    Molly shares what it truly means to pursue a life on the edge—navigating fear, adrenaline, and the deep respect required when moving through wild landscapes. She opens up about how her connection to nature has shaped her spirituality, sharpened her intuition, and taught her how to stay grounded in the present moment.

    The conversation also explores the profound ways grief and loss can transform us. Molly reflects on the relationships formed through shared tragedy in the mountain community and the resilience that emerges from those experiences.

    Together, Valerie and Molly discuss the power of self-trust, the growing presence of women in adventure sports, and the responsibility that comes with being a visible role model. Molly reminds listeners that living boldly is not just about risk—it’s about authenticity, connection, and recognizing the impact we have on others.

    This episode is an inspiring reflection on bravery, presence, and what it means to truly live on top.
