  • BTS 1: The Spark Behind The Sprint
    Aug 6 2025

    This is a special series based on a virtual program named From Vision To Voice: A 4-Week Visibility Sprint for Women Who Do Great Work that I developed with my friend, fellow entrepreneur and communications specialist, Rowena Morais.

    We came up with this idea of a Behind-The-Scenes series as a series of videos (which you can watch on Youtube) as we were developing our virtual program.

    I decided to repurpose this as an audio or podcast series to give the program a wider reach.

    In this first episode, Rowena and I spoke about

    • why we are developing this program
    • who the program is designed for
    • what it means to help women show up and shine

    This BTS or Behind-The-Scenes series is not to be confused with my regular podcast season.

    The virtual program for Cohort 1 is now open.

  • Louisa Lee, CEO of DP Healthverse, Singapore
    Jul 31 2025

    In this first episode of Season 10, Womenpreneur Asia, host Krista Goon sits down with Louisa Lee, CEO of DP Healthverse, to uncover the fascinating story of how a former educator transformed herself into an award-winning entrepreneur and health innovator.

    Based in Singapore, Louisa shares her journey from running a small dental clinic with her husband to scaling it into DP Dental, a progressive boutique practice with over 50 team members and three branches.

    But behind the accolades—including the Entrepreneur of the Year Award and B Corp Certification—is a story of rediscovery, resilience, and redefining what confidence truly means.

    ✨ At 40, Louisa found the courage to soar—thanks to a chance encounter with a shaman.

    In this episode, Louisa opens up about:

    • Why academic success didn’t translate into confidence—and how she finally found it
    • Her leap from education to dentistry and from dentistry to building a thriving healthcare ecosystem
    • Lessons learned from failed ventures and why staying within your lane matters
    • The power of root-cause healthcare and integrating wellness with dentistry
    • How bilingualism and cross-cultural understanding enrich her leadership style

    Louisa is also actively shaping the healthcare conversation in Singapore as a Board Member of Connected Women and Council Member (VP Comms) at the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises (ASME).

    Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a wellness advocate, or simply curious about how confidence can reshape a life, this episode is packed with wisdom, warmth, and powerful takeaways.

    Listen now and be inspired by Louisa’s mission to breathe right, sleep well, and live long.
