What if adversity isn’t the end of your story — but the launchpad?

On this powerful episode of Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro sit down with Ilana Golan — trailblazer, tech executive, Ironman triathlete, and founder of one of the fastest-growing companies in America – Leap Academy.

After a devastating startup betrayal that left her at rock bottom, Ilana rebuilt — stronger, smarter, and unstoppable.

Today, she is the CEO and founder of Leap Academy, ranked in the top 7% of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., revolutionizing how we think about careers, education, and the future of work. She has interviewed icons like Richard Branson, Gary Vaynerchuk, and the president of Starbucks on her hit podcast and delivered keynotes on some of the world’s biggest stages.

This conversation dives into resilience, reinvention, leadership, and the courage to leap when life forces you to pivot. If you’ve ever felt stuck, blindsided, or unsure of your next move — this episode will show you what’s possible.

Positive thinking alone isn’t enough—and neuroscience proves it.

Lasting change happens when you understand how the mind actually works, especially the subconscious systems that drive habits, emotions, and behavior beneath conscious awareness.

On Women Road Warriors, Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro sit down with Ravinder Taylor, lead author of the groundbreaking book Mind Training: The Science of Self‑Empowerment. Ravinder brings a rare blend of scientific rigor and real-world application, drawing from her background in biology, neuroscience, and more than 30 years in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy.

In this powerful conversation, Ravinder explains why mindset alone falls short—and how intentional mind training rewires neural pathways that shape confidence, motivation, and emotional regulation. She breaks down the science behind self-empowerment and shares practical tools anyone can use to interrupt self-limiting patterns, retrain subconscious responses, and create meaningful, sustainable change.

If you’re ready to move beyond surface-level positivity and learn a science-based framework for personal growth, fulfillment, and peak performance, this episode delivers psychology and brain science at its best.

Train your mind. Reclaim your power. Create a life that actually changes.
