Woman of Inspiration® Podcast —  Elizabeth Elfenbein -  Founder and CEO, Under The Sisterhood

 Reinvention and the Power of Women's Stories

Today's guest believes one of the world's greatest untapped resources isn't technology or data—it's women's lived experiences.

Elizabeth is doing something equally remarkable. Through Under the Sisterhood, she's preserving women's lived experiences across more than 70 countries, transforming those stories into intelligence that informs healthcare, innovation, research, policy, and culture.

Together, our work reflects something much bigger than either of our organizations. It reflects a movement to ensure women's stories are not only told—but remembered.

After more than 30 years as a successful corporate executive, Elizabeth made the courageous decision to leave everything she knew—not because she had another plan, but because she knew it was time to rediscover her own voice.

Today we'll explore reinvention, entrepreneurship, the power of women's stories, and why listening may be one of the greatest leadership skills of our time.

Elizabeth, welcome to the Women of Inspiration® Podcast. Get ready to be inspired.

The Women of Inspiration™ Podcast with host Monica Kretschmer, Founder & CEO of the Universal Womens Network™, shines the spotlight on inspiring female CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs, change-makers, and visionaries making an impact locally, nationally, and globally who lead, inspire and motivate.

Today’s episode is one of courage, creativity, and choosing yourself. Our guest is Caroline Bergeron, internationally known as ARO—an abstract artist, author, speaker, and Founder & CEO of Aro Artiste. After a successful career in business and hospitality, Caroline made a fearless pivot in 2017 to follow her true calling: art. What followed was an extraordinary rise—international exhibitions from New York to Paris, including the Carrousel du Louvre, and the honor of creating a piece for Michelle Obama.

But this story isn’t just about artistic success.

It’s about a woman who faced profound loss, burnout, and a defining moment where she had to choose life—and chose to rebuild through self-love, authenticity, and creative expression.

Recognized as a 2025 Women of Inspiration™ Art and Entertainment Award recipient, Caroline uses her voice, her art, and her truth to remind others that it’s never too late to rise, to heal, and to become who you were always meant to be.

This episode, we speak with Abby Wallach—a celebrated media and beauty entrepreneur, storyteller, and pioneer at the intersection of innovation, culture, and self-expression. Abby is the CEO and Co-Founder of The House of Scentinvent,

Today’s conversation began the way some of the best ones do—unexpectedly. We met at Rockefeller Center, in the middle of New York City, as two masters of their craft were recording a podcast nearby. A moment of proximity, creativity, and alignment—and the perfect setting to meet a woman who has spent her career shaping culture ahead of the curve. Where she is redefining modern fragrance through skin-first, travel-ready formats that merge scent, beauty, and wellness. Her innovations are shaping how fragrance is worn, experienced, and felt.

Before transforming the world of beauty, Abby helped pioneer the content-commerce movement—launching one of YouTube’s first original beauty and fashion partners, creating television and digital series, and producing stories about ambition, reinvention, and building something of your own.

At the heart of Abby’s work is a deep belief in intuition, creativity, and the quiet authority women already hold. Today, she’s driven to help women trust themselves, define who they are on their own terms, and build lives and businesses that reflect that truth.

Abby, welcome to the Women of Inspiration™ Podcast. We’re so glad you’re here.
