In this deeply honest and expansive conversation, Dr. Anissa Holmes shares the inner journey that transformed not just her career, but the way she leads, loves, and shows up in the world. While many know Anissa as a dentist, entrepreneur, and marketing leader, this episode goes far beyond titles and professions. It's a raw exploration of what happens when a woman stops shrinking herself to fit expectations and starts leading from truth instead of fear.

Anissa opens up about the unseen forces that shape so many high-achieving women: shame, imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, and the subconscious wounds we carry from childhood and early trauma. She speaks candidly about how these experiences influenced her leadership style, her relationship with money, and her tendency to operate in survival mode rather than alignment. Through profound self-work, surrender, and healing, Anissa shares how she moved from control to trust, from hustle to purpose, and from masculine overdrive into embodied, feminine leadership.

This episode is a powerful reminder that failure is never wasted, that leadership is about creating other leaders, and that true success comes from operating at the highest frequency: love. Whether you're navigating burnout, redefining success, or standing at the edge of your next evolution, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are and gently call you forward. What You Will Learn:

• Why so many women are taught to play small and how it shows up in leadership

• The link between childhood wounds, fear, and imposter syndrome

• How surrendering control can unlock greater freedom, creativity, and growth

• Redefining leadership as empowerment, not self-sacrifice

• Healing money stories and stepping into wealth without guilt

• Why purpose becomes clearer when you stop worrying about what others think

• How love, trust, and authenticity create sustainable success

This is not a conversation about doing more. It's a conversation about becoming more of who you already are.

About Dr. Meghna Dassani

Dr. Meghna Dassani is a high-performance strategist, biologically-driven leadership expert, and award-winning dentist who helps women stop living overwhelmed and start leading with clarity, strategy, and science.

For over two decades, she built and scaled a thriving dental practice, became a nationally recognized airway sleep expert, and trained thousands of clinicians across the world. But her deeper calling emerged in the conversations happening behind closed doors — with women doctors who were exhausted, overextended, and silently questioning whether this version of success was worth the cost.

Meghna saw a pattern:

Burnout wasn't a mindset issue.

It was a biology issue.

And leadership wasn't a personality trait — it was a learnable system.

That's when The Making of Her was born.

Today, Meghna blends neuroscience, physiology, business strategy, and real-world leadership to help women doctors and leaders operate at their highest level — without grinding themselves into the ground. Her frameworks support women in making better decisions, executing at a higher level, and reclaiming ownership of their time, energy, and results.

Through her mastermind, The Expansion Collective, her newsletter The Audacity Edit, and now The Making of Her Podcast, Meghna is on a mission to give women the tools, language, and systems to rise without burnout — and build the kind of lives they don't need a vacation from.

This isn't self-help.

This is science-backed leadership for women who are done settling.

Meghna lives in Houston with her husband and their two daughters who are her greatest reminders of legacy, courage, and possibility.

The Making of Her is where strategy meets real talk.

Where biology meets leadership.

Where women stop shrinking and start becoming the version of themselves they always knew existed.
