Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs

Revenue looks great on paper, but you still feel broke. This disconnect between what the numbers show and what your bank account reflects is one of the most frustrating experiences for women entrepreneurs. You're working harder than ever, your sales are growing, yet somehow there's never enough left over to feel truly secure or to invest in the things that would actually move your business forward.

We so rarely have frank conversations about where money actually flows in our businesses. While the entrepreneurial world loves to talk about growing revenue and scaling teams, nobody's teaching you how to analyze whether your money is flowing through your business in a way that sets you up for profit or exhaustion.

Listen in this week as Eleanor walks you through the margin stack framework: four critical cost allocations between revenue and profit that tell the complete story of your business health. You'll discover why growing revenue without proper profit architecture leads to resentment and burnout, and exactly which numbers reveal whether you're building wealth or just feeding an expensive machine.

What if the most powerful marketing strategy for your business isn't happening on social media, but in small rooms with 25-50 people?

This week, Eleanor is joined by CEO and co-founder of The Social Snippet, Kristina Bartold-Sorgota, who built a 7-figure agency with over 80 active clients using an unexpected approach: small, intimate events. She's mastered the art of building relationships first and letting business naturally follow, and she's here to tell you all about it.

If you're tired of constantly feeding the algorithm without seeing results, this episode will show you a different path to growing your business - one meaningful connection at a time. Tune in to discover why organic social media should be a lead nurture tool, not a lead generator, and how Kristina strategically leverages in-person networking to accelerate business growth. She shares her exact framework for choosing which events to attend, how she follows up without being salesy, and why she never makes a direct pitch, even when someone explicitly needs her services.

There's scaling advice, and then there's feminist scaling advice. And here's the truth: these two things are actually quite different.

In this week's episode, Eleanor is pulling back the curtain on why traditional scaling advice often falls short for women entrepreneurs, and what we really need to consider when building scalable businesses.

Listen in this week to learn why gender matters deeply in scaling advice. As someone who has mentored over 750 women leaders, Eleanor has seen firsthand how transformative the right kind of scaling advice can be. If you're ready to scale without sacrificing yourself in the process, this episode is for you.

Are you really focused on the tasks that make you money? Most founders and entrepreneurs only have a couple of core activities that actually drive revenue. So, if you were asked to name them right now, could you?

In this episode, we're getting real about what Eleanor calls "$10,000 tasks" - the specific, high-value activities that bring in the cash. It's easy to get bogged down with busy work that doesn't move the needle, like focusing on the idea of sales instead of the actions that lead to them.

If you feel like you've tried everything to boost your revenue but nothing's working, Eleanor is challenging you to get down and dirty with the daily, cash-producing tasks that truly matter. You'll learn a simple, daily action you can take that plants the seeds for future revenue, and it only takes a few minutes every day.
