What makes a great leader and how can you advance career while staying true to your values? In this insightful conversation, Dr. Ronicka Briscoe shares the strategies and mindset shifts that have helped her and women she interviewed step into high-impact leadership roles.

Join Host Natalie Benamou as she talks with Dr. Briscoe, Founder of Winning on the Road, LLC, and advocate for community transformation. From developing a leadership mindset to supporting the next generation, this episode offers real-world insights to help you grow with intention.

4 C-Suite Lessons to Amplify Your Success

1. Leadership Requires a Circle, Not a Ladder: Surrounding yourself with diverse mentors, sponsors, and peers is key to sustained leadership growth.
2. Own Your Strengths: The most successful leaders know and leverage their natural talents—this clarity drives momentum.
3. Plan for Career and Life: Discover the benefit of intentional planning and how it sets you up for success.
4. Prioritize Mental Well-being: Despite high-stakes roles, few leaders seek support. Dr. Briscoe challenges the stigma and shares why mental health must be part of the leadership conversation—especially for women of color.

“We are born with innate talents, abilities, and strengths. If we live our lives to really develop those rather than focusing on the things we can't do and our weaknesses, then we live a more fulfilled life.”-Dr. Ronicka Harrison-Briscoe

Reflect on your personal value proposition. After listening to Dr. Briscoe’s insights, take a moment to ask yourself: What do I bring to the table that no one else can? Write it down. This act of self-awareness is the first step toward amplifying your leadership presence and making intentional career decisions.

Since this podcast released, Dr. Briscoe is a Bestselling Author in Brave Women at Work: Lessons in Leadership and she has an anthology that will be coming out in the fall. She is a valued member of HerCsuite® and has her own community of authors inside HerCsuite®. Dr. Briscoe is also a featured speaker at the Thrive in 2025 Women's Conference in Chicago, June 25-28th.

Thank you Dr. Briscoe for being on the show today. We can't wait to see you in Real Life in Chicago!

With rising burnout, layoffs, and uncertainty, women over 40 are stepping into careers designed on their terms—and finding new ways to achieve financial stability along the way.

Natalie breaks down what a portfolio career really is (hint: it’s not quitting everything), and how women can combine consulting, board service, speaking, mentoring, and more into a career path that supports the life they want—without starting over.

• Why women don’t need another certification to begin—just the confidence to start
• How to use your leadership experience to create new income opportunities

What if flexibility at work wasn’t a luxury—but the very thing that made your business successful?

In this episode, host Natalie Benamou, Founder of HerCsuite®, talks with Kym Insana, a CEO who didn’t just build a 7-figure company—she built it around her life. After stepping away from a corporate career to raise her family, Kym knew she still wanted to contribute in a meaningful way. What she created next was something powerful: a business that gives both her and her employees the flexibility to thrive.

Kym opens up about what it took to start again, why she prioritized people over hustle, and how a culture of trust and flexibility helped her grow a business that truly works—for everyone involved.

3 Takeaways from Kym’s Story:

• Flexibility isn’t a perk—it’s a foundation. When people have the freedom to work in a way that fits their lives, they show up stronger and more committed.
• Starting over can be the beginning of something better. Kym left a job she loved, but she didn’t lose her sense of purpose—she redirected it.
• Culture is built by example. When leaders lead with empathy and trust, teams follow suit.

✨ Action Step: Ask yourself: If I had complete freedom in how I work, what would it look like? What’s one small change I can make today to move closer to that vision—for myself or my team?

Keep shining your light bright. The world needs you.

Thank you to Kym for being on the show. It was especially meaningful to connect with a leader who fearlessly looked for a way to both thrive as a business owner, mother and making an impact.
