    S1 Ep189: How to Listen Inward, Live Aligned with Your Designed Purpose
    Dec 17 2025
    In this episode of the We Are Women Podcast, host Janeen Vosper sits down with author and transformational guide Elaine Glass to explore the profound impact of stillness and listening to our inner wisdom.

    Elaine calls it The Quiet Way — a path of self-discovery that doesn’t rely on striving harder, but instead on slowing down, tuning in, and trusting the guidance we all carry within. Through her own journey of transformation, she has learned that the answers we seek are often found in the pauses, not the noise.

    During this powerful conversation, Elaine shares how modern women can create space for mindfulness, balance, and clarity, even in the middle of life’s busyness. She explains how embracing stillness allows us to reconnect with our authentic selves, uncover our true purpose, and make decisions with confidence.

    Together, Janeen and Elaine explore why learning to “trust what you hear” is the first step to living your healthiest and best life right now. It’s not about waiting for the perfect conditions or pushing harder—it’s about alignment. When body, heart, mind, and spirit work in harmony, life naturally unfolds with more ease and fulfillment.

    Whether you are looking to reduce stress, improve emotional well-being, or simply reconnect with your feminine creativity, this episode is a reminder that transformation doesn’t have to be loud or dramatic. Sometimes, the quietest steps lead to the most powerful breakthroughs.

    Three Takeaways from Elaine:
    1. Go to the labyrinth — Create intentional space for stillness and reflection.
    2. Trust what you hear — Your inner guidance is always speaking; learn to listen.
    3. Live your healthiest best life now — Presence and alignment unlock transformation.

    This episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and consider: What might happen if you stopped rushing and started listening?

  • S1 Ep188: Why Diets Fail—and What Really Works for Women Leaders

    S1 Ep188: Why Diets Fail—and What Really Works for Women Leaders
    Nov 27 2025
    In this episode of the We Are Women Podcast, Janeen Vosper speaks with Sandra Zeldes, founder of Eat Like A Goddess, about the hidden struggles many successful women face when it comes to food, weight, and self-care. Despite excelling in business and leadership, countless women quietly battle cravings, exhaustion, and shame about their bodies—cycles that traditional diets and willpower rarely solve.

    Sandra shares how years of chronic stress and even unhealed trauma often drive these struggles. When left unresolved, these invisible forces sabotage well-being and success, keeping women stuck in patterns of burnout and self-sabotage. Through her work, Sandra helps women break free by addressing root causes, not just surface-level strategies. Using tools like EFT tapping, she shows how to rewire subconscious responses, reduce stress, and create a new relationship with food and body.

    Instead of relying on restrictive diets or pushing harder—approaches that backfire and reinforce feelings of failure—Sandra advocates for a gentler, sustainable path. She teaches women to shift from deprivation to ease, reconnect with their intuition, and learn to listen to the body’s wisdom. By reframing weight struggles as protective patterns rather than personal failures, women can finally release shame and embrace self-care with confidence.

    Sandra explains that success in both health and business doesn’t come from force but from flow. The same drive that helps women thrive professionally can work against them when it comes to healing. True transformation happens when we let go of what blocks us, rather than pushing through.

    This conversation is a powerful reminder that our bodies are not broken. Food and weight are not the true problems—our lack of peace is. By healing the relationship with food and body, women not only unlock natural weight loss but also open the doorway to greater financial success, happiness, and freedom.

  • S1 Ep187: Rewiring the Brain: Adele Spraggon on Breaking Free from Patterns

    S1 Ep187: Rewiring the Brain: Adele Spraggon on Breaking Free from Patterns
    Nov 6 2025
    In this enlightening episode of the We Are Women Podcast, I speak with Adele Spraggon — an award-winning author, thought leader, and internationally recognized behavioral change expert who is transforming the way we think about the brain and personal empowerment.

    Adele knows firsthand what it feels like to be stuck in patterns that don’t serve us. After experiencing panic attacks and realizing she was running on autopilot, she began a journey to understand how the brain creates, repeats, and holds us in patterns of behavior. What she discovered changed her life — and has since changed the lives of thousands of people around the world.

    Through her bestselling book, Shift: 4 Steps to Personal Empowerment, and her unique four-step method rooted in neuroplasticity, Adele helps individuals deconstruct old patterns, rewire their brains, and create new, empowering ways of thinking and acting. Her framework — Action, Behaviour, Belief — guides people to:

    1. Identify their patterns
    2. Own them
    3. Deconstruct them
    4. Create new ones that support growth and success
    Our conversation dives into why willpower alone doesn’t work, the importance of subtracting rather than adding to overcome challenges, and how we can learn to embrace uncertainty without fear. Adele also unpacks some of the most common behavioral patterns she sees in women — including people pleasing, conflict avoidance, and rescuing — and how to break free from them.

    Listeners will take away powerful insights, including: why addressing brain patterns is the key to solving life’s toughest problems, how to build emotional strength in an uncertain world, and the science behind increasing your confidence levels.

    This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt stuck in self-sabotage, frustrated by repeating old habits, or ready to unlock their fullest potential. Adele’s blend of neuroscience, compassion, and practical tools will leave you feeling empowered to shift your patterns and step into lasting transformation.

  • S1 Ep186: Breaking the Silence: Sabrina Capper on Trauma, Truth, and Healing

    S1 Ep186: Breaking the Silence: Sabrina Capper on Trauma, Truth, and Healing
    Oct 16 2025
    In this powerful and deeply moving episode of the We Are Women Podcast, I speak with Sabrina Capper — a PR and Communications professional turned author and survivor whose story will both challenge and inspire you. After years of representing Fortune 500 companies and global leaders, Sabrina stepped away from the corporate world to pursue creative work in writing and art. But behind her polished career was a truth she had long kept hidden: the generational trauma, secrets, and abuse within her family.

    In her bestselling debut novel, Licking the Knife, Sabrina courageously shares her extraordinary story of survival. In 2024, she came face-to-face with her abuser — her own grandfather, a ritualistic serial killer and cult leader. As he drew his final breath, Sabrina reclaimed her power by declaring that the world would know the truth about what she endured. Today, she speaks openly about breaking cycles of silence, the language of trauma, and the resilience it takes to heal.

    Throughout our conversation, Sabrina sheds light on the struggles women face in being believed, the weight of carrying family secrets, and the importance of listening to and trusting your own story. We explore the process of raising children after surviving trauma, finding frameworks of support, and what accountability looks like in an age where testimony can be shared widely through social media.

    This episode is both a heart-wrenching and hopeful reminder that any trauma is too much, yet healing is possible. Sabrina’s journey from silence to storytelling offers a beacon of courage for women everywhere who have experienced pain, felt dismissed, or struggled to find their voice.
    Tune in to hear how Sabrina transformed trauma into truth, and how her message of resilience can inspire you to believe in your own story and break through the silence.

  • S1 Ep184: Building a Life After Prison

    S1 Ep184: Building a Life After Prison
    Sep 3 2025
    Title: Talking Redemption and Red Flags Guest: Connie Paglianiti Main Focus: Recognising red flags, overcoming shame, and rebuilding after personal and professional downfall. Key Talking Points: Life after prison: Connie shared that after being released from prison, she didn’t know who she was or where to turn. She felt "still locked away," carrying shame and fear of judgment. This emotional burden weighed heavier than her actual sentence. The cost of ignoring red flags: As a high-achieving event organiser, Connie was the “fixer” until she spiralled. She ignored obvious warning signs in relationships and business, ultimately leading to the loss of her freedom and identity. Her wake-up call and rebuild: Prison wasn’t the end — it was the beginning of rediscovering herself. Through rebuilding from the inside out, Connie realised red flags aren’t random. They’re visible early, but many women avoid confronting them. Red Flags in Plain Sight™ framework: This is the heart of Connie’s mission. She empowers women to spot subtle signs of danger — from manipulative business partners to burnout triggers — and take action before it’s too late. Leadership truths: Leadership isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. Connie encourages women to lead with eyes wide open and speak out — even when it’s uncomfortable. Owning your story: Women often carry silence and shame around past mistakes. Connie teaches that your story can be your superpower if you choose to use it that way. 🔍 Common Issues Women Face & Solutions: Ignoring red flags (to avoid being seen as difficult) → Solution: Learn to trust your gut, gather facts quickly, and speak up early. Overfunctioning while neglecting your own needs → Solution: Build strong boundaries, delegate, and spot subtle warning signs. Holding onto shame and silence → Solution: Reclaim your story. You’re not broken — you’re rebuilding. ❓ Great Questions Janeen Asked: What are some red flags that women in business and leadership commonly miss? Why do capable women ignore their instincts, and how can they rebuild that trust? How did you find the courage to move forward after such a devastating fall? What message would you share with someone who has made a serious mistake and doesn’t know how to start again? 💡 3 Powerful Takeaways: Red flags are never random — they show up early and often; we’ve just been taught to ignore them. You’re not broken — you’re rebuilding. Your story isn’t your shame — it can become your superpower. 🌐 Connect with Connie Paglianiti Email: connie@conniepaglianiti.com Phone: 0417 362 785 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/conniepaglianiti Instagram: @conniempaglianiti Facebook: facebook.com/WeSocialiseAU YouTube: @ConnieMPaglianiti X (Twitter): @ConnieP_Speaks 🎤 Hosted by Janeen Vosper Public Speaking & Personal Branding Coach Founder – Speech Perfect 🎧 Host – We Are Women Podcast 📧 janeen@speechperfect.com.au 📞 0414 371 136 🌐 www.janeenvosper.com 🔗 LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook 👉 Book your complimentary strategy call today!

    💡 Why “never explain, never complain” can become your power mantra
    💡 How to build a business that offers you time, purpose, and joy

  • S1 Ep182: The Business Strategy Every Female Entrepreneur Needs

    S1 Ep182: The Business Strategy Every Female Entrepreneur Needs
    Jul 30 2025
    The Business Strategy Every Female Entrepreneur Needs

    As women continue to break barriers in business, many still face challenges that can derail their success. Melissa Franks, Fractional COO, business strategist, and founder of On Call COO, has dedicated her career to helping female entrepreneurs get unstuck, scale their businesses, and create a life they love.

    Melissa left a 25-year corporate career at the top of her game, only to see many of her accomplished peers start businesses and fail within 9-18 months. The reason? A mix of bad advice, trusting the wrong partners, and lacking the right business strategy to scale and sustain success.

    Key Business Strategy Lessons from Melissa Franks:

    💡 Get Clear on Your Vision
    Before making any decisions, ask: What do I want my life to look like? Success isn’t just about revenue; it’s about designing a business that aligns with your ideal life.

    💡 Be Curious & Question Everything
    Many women trust too easily in business, especially in moments of crisis. Melissa advises: “Trust, but verify.” Check references, test partnerships, and never commit without research—just like you wouldn’t get married on a first date.

    💡 Set Boundaries & Know Your Limits
    Women often feel the need to “do it all,” but true success comes from making smart trade-offs. You can have a thriving business and a fulfilling life, but not if you’re giving 1000% in every direction. Define your priorities and ask for help when needed.

    💡 Understand the Psychology of Gen Z
    Business success today also means understanding the next generation. Gen Z thrives on authenticity, flexibility, and purpose-driven brands. If you’re hiring or marketing to this group, take time to learn what drives them.

    The right business strategy isn’t just about growth—it’s about sustainability, adaptability, and alignment with your goals. Curiosity, clarity, and smart decision-making will help you build a resilient, thriving business without sacrificing the life you love.
