Rising Women Leaders

In this episode of the Rising Women Leaders podcast, I sit down with personal wealth coach Lisa Beem for a conversation about money, values, leadership, and what it truly means to live a wealthy life. Many women long to feel more empowered in their relationship with money, yet traditional financial conversations often focus solely on accumulation, productivity, and financial performance.
Drawing from her background in personal finance, transformational coaching, philanthropy, and environmental studies, Lisa invites us into a broader understanding of wealth, one that includes purpose, generosity, resilience, relationships, and alignment with our deepest values. We explore how a healthier relationship with money can support greater freedom, service, and our ability to bring our unique gifts into the world.
In this Episode we Discussed:
Expanding our definition of wealth beyond money in the bank
What nature and healthy ecosystems can teach us about creating resilient wealth
Understanding money as flow rather than simply accumulationAligning our financial decisions with our values and deepest priorities
What women and feminine leadership can bring to conversations about money, investing, and finance
How wealth can become a tool for freedom, contribution, stewardship, and collective well-being

In this episode of the Rising Women Leaders podcast, I sit down with womb healing pioneer, teacher, and founder of Womb Health Academy, Numana Marie Joy, for a rich conversation about womb health, intuition, the wisdom of the honey bees, and the sacred path of feminine leadership.
Our conversation explores what becomes possible when women reconnect with the intelligence of their bodies and begin listening to the wisdom that lives within the womb. We talk about healing stored trauma, honoring the cyclical nature of being a woman, and remembering the ancient teachings that have long connected women to the natural world.
Numana also shares her fascinating journey from her priestess background to becoming a global leader in womb-centered healing, the story behind her name change, and why the honey bee has become such a powerful teacher for the feminine.
Whether you're curious about womb healing, longing to deepen your intuition, or simply seeking a more embodied way of living and leading, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for the journey.

Numana Marie Joy is sparking a global awakening—a future where womb healers exist in every city, where women bleed, birth children, and bring creative visions into the world with greater ease, and where cycles are no longer defined by pain, PMS, or disconnection.
As the founder and CEO of Womb Health Academy and creator of the Somatic Womb Clearing Method™, Numana bridges somatic science, trauma-informed healing, cyclical living, and sacred feminine leadership to support women in restoring hormonal harmony, releasing stored trauma, and reconnecting with the deep intelligence of their bodies.
She believes that when women reconnect with the wisdom of the womb, they don't just heal themselves. They help birth the culture of the future.

In this short solo episode of the Rising Women Leaders podcast, I explore how to navigate the fear and self-doubt that can arise when sharing our divine gifts with the world.
I share how confidence is created through action, how reconnecting with your deeper "why" can help you move forward, and what my own journey of writing and publishing a book taught me about fear, purpose, and following divine guidance.
This episode is an invitation to release perfectionism, loosen your attachment to the outcome, and trust that your responsibility is simply to take the next aligned step—leaving the rest in the hands of the Divine.
In This Episode, I Discussed:
Why self-doubt often appears when we're doing something new
How confidence grows by taking action before we feel fully ready
The importance of releasing the need to be perfect
Finding a deeper "why" for the creative work you feel called to share
The fears I faced while writing and publishing my book
A powerful "What if?" exercise for opening to positive possibilities
Offering your work to the Divine and releasing attachment to its reception
Trusting that helping even one person can make your work worthwhile
