Keltie Maguire coaches women through a choice many women don’t realize they have: whether or not to have kids. Many women are on the fence about this decision and have no idea how to navigate it. Keltie provides clarity and direction through coaching, workshops, group programs, and her podcast.

Why does this conversation matter for an audience of female entrepreneurs? Because decisions around motherhood have a profound impact on our decisions about if and how to engage in entrepreneurship. And having the autonomy to make these decisions is a huge part of being an empowered woman. 

Dive into this important and enlightening conversation! 

Key takeaways:

• Many women struggle with the decision to have kids, and may feel societal pressure to have children. Keltie is here to help women navigate this decision — guiding them toward whichever decision is right for them. 
• The decision to have or not have children is deeply personal and should be based on individual desires and aspirations. Building a values-driven business can be an important way to develop your individuality and nurture something deeper in yourself if motherhood is not in the cards for you. 
• Running a business as a woman comes with challenges, but also with empowerment and a sense of community.

What does it mean to be a leader? In this episode, we explore the four key traits of leadership, as a follow-up to our last episode with Ruth Smith. Those key traits are experience, willingness to do hard things, lifelong learning, and mentorship. Listen to the episode to learn how to apply these principles to your own life and business.

Most of us as female entrepreneurs have ignored our gut instincts at some point or another. Societal or family conditioning often leads us to doubt our instincts — and the results are often detrimental. 

Let’s talk about women’s intuition, and how dangerous it can be to ignore it, both for your business and for your bodily safety. 

Key takeaways

• Trust your intuition: Women often have strong instincts, but society conditions us to ignore it. Learn to listen to your gut.
• Empower yourself: Martial arts has played a huge role in teaching me to trust myself, which carries over to making the most intentional business decisions.
• Build a values-driven business: When building a business, make sure it aligns with your values, and trust your intuition when assessing clients and opportunities.
• Listen to your intuition in business: Gut feelings are crucial in deciding whether clients or projects are the right fit. Listening to this inner voice helps build an authentic brand.

Alicia Santandreu is a powerhouse of resilience and empowerment. A survivor of abuse turned healer, teacher, and counselor, she fiercely advocates for victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. As a co-owner of a Jiu Jitsu school, Alicia channels her passion for female empowerment, helping women reclaim their strength and voice through self-defense. 

In this episode of the Bold Women in Business podcast, we hear Alicia’s perspective on female empowerment, entrepreneurship, and the example she’s setting for her two young daughters. 

Key takeaways

• Empowerment through self-defense and martial arts allows women, especially those in abusive situations, to regain control of their lives.
• When women are in abusive situations, they lose their light. Empowerment and healing work help that light come back. 
• Running a business with intention and a deeper purpose makes entrepreneurship so much more fulfilling — and it leads to a much more meaningful and enjoyable customer experience.
