In this episode of the Women Thrive Podcast, we sit down with Carole Podell—personal transformation mentor and host of She Takes the Lead—to hear how she turned a crushing breakup and fertility struggles into a fierce reinvention.

Carole doesn’t hold back as she reveals the raw moments of betrayal and heartbreak that forced her to redefine her life on her own terms. With unapologetic honesty, she shares the power of community, the courage to rewrite your story, and why letting go of society’s rules is the ultimate act of freedom. Tune in for a no-holds-barred conversation about resilience, mental health, and the unstoppable strength that comes from embracing your true self.
