In this special Podcasthon episode of The Own Your Brand Show, we sit down with Nakeisha Washington, the “Global STEMSation,” to share how Nyla Nova Foundation helps kids, especially girls of color, see themselves as confident STEM leaders from as early as age three. We talk through the Nyla Nova ecosystem of books, kits, community adventures, and family programs, plus what it takes to make STEM access sustainable. 

• Nyla Nova as a science superhero built on identity and confidence 
• Early STEM exposure through activity books, stories, and hands-on learning 
• Making STEM fun with games, music, and real-world problem solving
• STEM ventures like caves, ropes courses, horseback riding, and water testing 
• Family-based STEM programs that bring parents in as learning partners 
• Why traditional schooling delays science and how a STEM lens boosts engagement 
• The sustainability problem when funding ends and kids still want more 
• Accessibility plans including a mobile STEM lab van and sponsor-ready STEM kits 
• Teacher training and licensing materials so schools can run programs in-house 
• Ways the community can help through donations, sponsorships, volunteering, and sharing 

Please check out the links. And please support Nylanova, even if it’s just shouting out on social media, that goes a long way.

In this episode of The Own Your Brand Show, we sit down with financial advisor and business owner Shawnda Sparks to talk about a money truth too many entrepreneurs avoid. More than 50 percent of business owners are not paying themselves a consistent income. That decision impacts everything from day to day cash flow to long term retirement planning. Shawnda breaks down why so many women entrepreneurs underpay themselves, how to reverse engineer pricing so your business can actually support your life, and what options exist beyond the traditional 401k. We also discuss common money myths, fee transparency, transitioning from corporate to entrepreneurship, and how compounding interest can work in your favor when you start early. This episode is a must listen for women business owners who want to build wealth intentionally, pay themselves with confidence, and plan for the future without overwhelm.

If you are a female entrepreneur thinking about retirement, paying yourself consistently, or finding a financial advisor who understands your business and your life, this conversation will give you practical next steps you can apply right now.

This episode dives into the honest and powerful story of Leslie Bailey, co founder and CEO of Indy Maven and former owner of Maven Space, a women focused community and co working space in Indianapolis. Leslie shares how Indy Maven grew from a simple idea and a newsletter into a real community that carried women through the isolation of the pandemic, and how listening to what women were asking for shaped everything that came next.

From launching a physical space to carrying the weight of a fifteen thousand square foot venue, Leslie opens up about the pressure of overhead, the reality of dipping into savings, and the mental health toll that came with constant responsibility. She talks about the moment she realized she needed to slow down, the hard decision to close Maven Space, and why choosing a necessary ending can still be a powerful and successful choice.

For founders, community builders, and women leaders, this conversation is a masterclass in redefining success on your own terms. We talk about the importance of support systems, why your life circumstances matter as much as your business plan, and how visibility, boundaries, and rest all work together. Leslie also shares how she is rebuilding around what lights her up now, including Indy Maven, paid speaking, and her Magnetic Maven mastermind.

Hit play, share this with a friend who is carrying a lot on her shoulders, and let this episode remind you that you have more power to choose your path than you think.

This episode dives into the powerful story of LaVreen Hall — a mental health coach, author, and retreat leader whose life changed after her heart stopped for eleven seconds. Through chronic illness, a devastating house fire, and the loss of her husband during COVID, LaVreen rebuilt her life around faith, healing, and community.

This episode centers on healing as the foundation of leadership, not a side path. Victoria sits down with Jordan Coleman, founder and CEO of A Seat at the Table, to unpack how trauma-informed leadership programs are helping women of color move from support roles into executive positions. Jordan shares the story behind her eight-week cohort that intertwines professional development with deep mental health work through therapists and grief coaches. They explore how release nights, confidentiality agreements, and intentional reflection lead to real outcomes—like promotions, advanced degrees, and renewed confidence among mothers balancing caregiving and careers.

Together, they dive into hard but necessary conversations about gatekeeping, scarcity, and imposter syndrome, with Jordan’s guiding principle—“every room isn’t your room”—as a reminder to protect energy, choose rooms strategically, and lead with clarity. Beyond leadership, her team addresses period poverty through empowering “period parties” in schools, advocates for funding identity-based work without mission drift, and celebrates sisterhood through her annual rooftop event honoring unsung women leaders. The episode offers a blueprint for entrepreneurs and professionals alike: heal deeply, lead intentionally, and build community that sustains you.
