In this episode, host Lisa Martin shares her reasons for starting The FLOURISH for Female Leaders Podcast, what you can expect from the show, and her passion to help women Rise, Thrive and FLOURISH.

According to my guest today,Tracy Theemes, financial education is not the key to female empowerment. It’s about your ability to confidently have a tough financial conversation with others.

On today's show, Tracy, co-founder of the Sophia Wealth Academy, certified financial planner, and International Alliance for Women - World of Difference award winner shares how women are equal to or superior to men when making financial decisions and thus need to become comfortable with economic power.

Do you shy away from pointing out your accomplishments at work or expect others to acknowledge and value your contributions?

On today's episode, I sit down with Sally Helgesen, speaker, leadership coach and author of How Women Rise: Break the 12 Habits Holding You Back from Your Next Raise, Promotion, or Job, to discuss how women leaders recognize, articulate, and act on their greatest strengths.

Do you ever feel sleazy, dirty, or inauthentic when trying to connect with people you don’t know, just to build your network? Why not focus on those you know, rather than those you don’t. What are the do’s and don’ts of successful networking?

On today's episode, I sit down with David Burkus, author of Friend of a Friend. Listen as he describes the art and science of networking and shares secrets that will help you to grow your network. After all, research shows that your network determines your net worth. Not all relationships are built equally, so choose your friends wisely.

How has patriarchal productivity hurt women? Modern female leaders feel overwhelmed and over-scheduled. They think they always have to be perfect. However, if they just learn to slow down and focus, they will become more productive.

Today on the show I chat with Erin Falconer, author of How to Get Sh*t Done: Why Women Need to Stop Doing Everything so They Can Achieve Anything about the importance of focusing, doing less and her reluctance on using the word "productive".

Take a look at yourself in the mirror. What’s your self-concept? Are you a good leader, or a great one? What’s the difference? Emotional courage.

Today, on the show I sit down with Peter Bregman, author of Leading with Emotional Courage: How to Have Hard Conversations, Create Accountability, and Inspire Action On Your Most Important Work. He is speaker and thought leader in the areas of leadership development, organizational change, productivity, and emotional courage.

When I first started my career in PR, being perceived as feminine in the work place was perceived as weak, and thus you can be sure I did everything in my power to hide or mask many of my feminine traits. While the perception of femininity in the work place has changed quite a bit since then, feminine traits such as emotionality and sensitivity are still not heavily accepted in the work place, but the stigmas are changing, thanks to women like Amy Stanton, author of the book The Feminine Revolution.

On today's episode I chat with Amy, the former CMO for Martha Stewart Living, turned entrepreneur and author as she shares her personal story of feeling obliged to let go of her feminine traits as a result of working in a man’s world, 21 ways to ignite the power of your femininity for a brighter life and why she believes it’s ok to cry at work.

There’s one thing that every female leader needs to do: Give presentations! People that give powerful presentations, win! The exciting thing about presenting is that you have 100% control over how you decide to show up at any given presentation.

On today's episode, I outline how giving powerful presentations can boost your leadership presence, the three things to keep in mind when creating a powerful presentation, the two questions you should ask yourself and your audience when creating your presentation's purpose and the four core beliefs powerful presenters share.

There has never been a more opportune time for women to build and manage their own wealth. It’s been estimated that two-thirds of the wealth in the United States will be controlled by women in 2030.

On today's episode, I sit down with First Vice President & Portfolio Manager at of The Wong Group and author of Smart Risk, Maili Wong to discuss the Five P's of the Smart Risk road map, what Smart Risks are and how you can make them, the three reasons why women are better investors than men, and the two-types of plans everyone must-have to take Smart Risks and build a work-optional life.

What does wealth mean to you? For me, wealth is not necessarily about a number, but is rather about an emotional state. It means you have a mindset of abundance.
