Why We Need to Rethink the Clothes We Buy | Lacey Cadieux-McLean
2026/10/09
For founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders, rethinking the clothes we buy connects sustainable fashion with a bigger question: how can a business make everyday life better while reducing waste?
A full closet doesn’t always make a style decision easier. Wardrobe organization can help us see what we own, discover outfit combinations, and use our clothes longer. But textile waste also raises questions about what our clothes are made from—and what happens after we stop wearing them.
Jennifer Loehding sits down with Lacey Cadieux-McLean, Founder & CEO of Rhubaia Ventures, to explore her sustainable clothing line and AI-powered clothing app. Drawing on her background in IT project management and creative design, Lacey is connecting personal style, confidence, and environmental responsibility.
They discuss sustainable fashion, synthetic fabrics, clothing waste, virtual try-on technology, and how decision fatigue affects getting dressed. Lacey also shares the entrepreneurial lessons behind her work: learning from mistakes, seeking mentorship, and staying committed as a business grows.

The Two Warriors Within: Which One Are You Feeding? | TJ Baird, The Warrior Dad
2026/10/02
For founders and entrepreneurs, The Two Warriors Within explores leadership, emotional intelligence, and personal growth. TJ Baird, the Warrior Dad, asks: Which One Are You Feeding?
Drawing on 32 years of military leadership, TJ examines how anger, self-awareness, and your actions affect the people you lead. His philosophy connects the battles within us to the trust we build—or damage—in our businesses and relationships.
When social media shows only the finished success story, struggle can feel like evidence that you’re falling behind. This conversation explores why sharing the unfinished journey matters, and why leadership requires honesty about your own challenges.
Jennifer Loehding sits down with retired U.S. Army Command Sergeant Major TJ Baird, founder of Warrior Dad Stories, to explore the philosophy behind “the two warriors within.” His 32-year military career and a pivotal conversation with his daughter give that philosophy a personal foundation.
They discuss why actions must match words, how presence builds trust, and why leadership is a human business. TJ shares his four principles for life and leadership, the lessons behind his storytelling platform, and how he uses strategic planning and AI to support his business.

What $1 Million in Debt Taught Him About the Messy Middle | Brent Garrett
2026/09/25
For founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders, growth can bring a difficult question: are you building a business you can lead, or one that demands more of you every day? In the messy middle of entrepreneurship, business growth can come with shrinking profits and mounting business debt. Brent Garrett’s story shows why moving forward means facing the numbers, setting the culture, and growing into the leader your business needs.
In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with business owner and coach Brent Garrett. After discovering his business was nearly $1 million in debt, Brent had to examine the finances he had stopped watching, the culture he had allowed someone else to shape, and how far his work had drifted from his values.
Brent explains the five stages of entrepreneurship and what happens when a growing company reaches the ceiling of complexity. He and Jennifer discuss the shift from doing the work yourself to leading a team, and why growing as a leader has to keep pace with growing the business.
The conversation moves through business finances, culture, delegation, emotional intelligence, sales language, and finding your unique ability. Brent draws on his experience in skilled trades, while the lessons reach business owners well beyond that industry.

You Don’t Have to Start Over to Reinvent Yourself — Debbi DiMaggio
2026/09/17
For founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, leaders, and anyone navigating a new chapter, this episode explores why you don’t have to start over to reinvent yourself—and how taking action can create clarity when the path ahead feels uncertain.
Change often challenges more than our plans. It can disrupt our identity, confidence, and sense of direction. Whether you are facing an empty nest, career transition, changing business, personal setback, or unexpected opportunity, moving forward may require reframing what is happening rather than waiting until you feel completely ready.
Jennifer Loehding sits down with Debbi DiMaggio, a top 1% real estate professional, six-time author, TEDx speaker, podcast host, and mindset coach who has spent more than 35 years helping people navigate change. When her children left for college, Debbi began a decade-long reinvention that expanded her life beyond real estate into writing, speaking, coaching, philanthropy, and endurance challenges.
Debbi shares why reinvention doesn’t always require leaving your career behind, how she completed the Los Angeles Marathon primarily through mindset, and why movement often comes before confidence. They also discuss resilience, accountability, reframing challenges, the Great World Race, Girls on the Run, preparing for a TEDx talk in South Africa, and the surprising connection between Debbi’s tenacity and her famous relative, Joe DiMaggio.

Why Your Humanity Matters More in an AI-Driven Job Market | Mae Schaefer & Deborah Wheatman
2026/09/10
For founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, leaders, and professionals navigating career transitions, this episode explores why your humanity matters more in an AI-driven job market—and how personal branding and authentic storytelling can help you stand out.
AI job search tools can be helpful, but relying on them alone can make your resume sound like everyone else’s. Human experts can help uncover the experiences, accomplishments, and unique value that automated hiring systems and generic AI-generated language often miss.
Jennifer Loehding sits down with Mae Schaefer and Deborah Wheatman, co-founders of Craft Career Studio, to discuss how hiring automation is changing the job search and why an effective career strategy requires more than keywords. They explain how to communicate your value, own your accomplishments, and build a personal brand that connects with the people making hiring decisions.
You’ll also hear why resume writing should focus on outcomes rather than responsibilities, how authentic storytelling can strengthen your resume and LinkedIn profile, and how to navigate job search rejection in a competitive market.
About Mae Schaefer & Deborah Wheatman
Mae Schaefer and Deborah Wheatman are the co-founders of Craft Career Studio, where they combine their backgrounds in marketing, research, career strategy, and professional writing to help people navigate career transitions.

How to Win When You Lose the Trophy | Dr. Angela Kerek
2026/09/02
For founders, entrepreneurs, creators, leaders, and other growth-minded professionals, success can become so closely tied to achievement that it becomes difficult to know who you are without the title, trophy, or next win.
In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with Dr. Angela Kerek—a former professional tennis player, global law firm partner, entrepreneur, author, and high-performance coach—to explore what her many reinventions have taught her about winning externally while learning how to win from within.
Angela explains why high performers often depend on achievement and adrenaline to keep moving, what happens when those external measures disappear, and why sustainable fulfillment requires an identity beyond titles, careers, and trophies. Their conversation explores career transitions, high performance, Active Giving, aging and fitness, menopause, creativity versus execution, listening to the body, creating space for growth, and replacing traditional to-do lists with “win lists” that recognize progress and rebuild self-worth.

The Hidden Cost of Being the One Who Carries Everything | Jasper Calcara
2026/08/26
For founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders, the drive to achieve can sometimes hide the very patterns holding us back. What looks like strength on the outside may be carrying a hidden cost.
In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with structural engineer, entrepreneur, and speaker Jasper Calcara to explore what nearly three decades of building businesses, leading teams, and solving structural problems taught him about personal growth, self-worth, resilience, and the pressure to be the one who carries everything.
Jasper shares how his “Superman complex” helped fuel his ambition and professional success while also masking anxiety, perfectionism, control, and struggles with self-worth. He explains how learning to recognize those internal cracks changed the way he approached his personal life—and why the same drive that helps us achieve can eventually cost us if we don't understand what's underneath it.
The conversation explores Jasper’s Be Good, Do Good, Evolve framework, emotional healing, self-awareness, getting unstuck, asking for help, managing anxiety, resilience, and redefining success. Using lessons from structural engineering and bridges, Jasper explains how becoming more flexible and addressing our weak spots can help us withstand the inevitable “earthquakes” of life without collapsing.

Why You’re Easier to Manipulate Than You Think | Robert Siciliano
2026/08/18
For founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders, success isn't only about strategy—it's also about recognizing the blind spots that influence how we think, decide, and respond under pressure.
In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with cybersecurity expert Robert Siciliano to explore what more than 30 years of studying risk, deception, and human behavior has taught him about why we're easier to manipulate than we think—and how becoming more aware can make us harder targets.
Robert explains the Human Blind Spot, how scammers manufacture urgency to bypass better judgment, and why understanding human behavior is central to becoming a harder target. The conversation also covers social engineering, online scams, identity theft, password security, two-factor authentication, credit freezes, and fraud prevention.

Your Home May Be Affecting You More Than You Realize | Loren Ng
2026/08/07
For founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders, the spaces we live and work in can influence far more than how they look—they can quietly affect our focus, energy, stress, and overall well-being.
In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with interior designer Loren Ng to explore how psychology-led design considers both the conscious and subconscious needs of the people using a space—and why good design starts with understanding the person, not just the room.
Loren explains how visual clutter, functionality, and subtle sources of “quiet friction” can affect how we feel and function in our environments. The conversation also explores nervous system regulation, mental well-being, invisible sources of stress, and how a more holistic approach to design can create spaces that better support the way we live and work.

When Crisis Becomes Your Biggest Opportunity | Daniel Linares
2026/07/31
For founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders, growth doesn't always come from competing harder. Sometimes the biggest opportunities appear when you're willing to think differently, specialize, and create a lane of your own.
In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with DLE Event Group founder Daniel Linares to explore how specialization, strategic thinking, and personal growth helped him transform disruption into opportunity—and build a business designed to scale beyond himself.
Daniel shares how Blue Ocean Strategy helped him rethink competition, why “riches in the niches” became central to his company's growth, and how the pandemic pushed him to create an entirely new market. The conversation also explores leadership, delegation, perfectionism, imperfect action, and what it takes to build a business that can grow beyond you.

The Moment She Stopped Being Fine and Started Living | Tiffanie Janowitz
2026/07/21
What happens when everything looks successful on the outside, but something still feels “fine”? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with leadership coach and Limitless partner Tiffanie Janowitz to explore self-trust, personal growth, intentional living, and the hidden cost of settling for “fine.”
Growing up with a checklist of expectations, Tiffanie believed success meant following the rules, checking every box, and building the life she was supposed to want. But after challenging long-held beliefs, navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, and redefining what fulfillment really means, she discovered that “fine” isn’t a destination—it’s often the very thing keeping us stuck.
In this powerful conversation, Jennifer and Tiffanie explore why self-trust is the foundation of meaningful success, how personal development fuels business growth, and why the biggest breakthroughs often begin when we stop living on autopilot. They discuss the danger of inherited beliefs, the importance of questioning old narratives, and how learning to trust your own voice can completely change the trajectory of your life and career.
If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but unfulfilled inside, this episode will challenge the way you think about growth, purpose, and what it truly means to live intentionally.
About Tiffanie Janowitz

Her path has been shaped by a series of personal and professional reckonings, including challenging deeply held beliefs, navigating major identity shifts, advocating for herself through breast cancer, and rebuilding her life with a stronger foundation of self-trust.
Today, she works alongside her partners at Limitless Society, where personal development and business development are intentionally brought together. Through coaching, leadership development, and community, Tiffanie helps people reclaim their time, energy, agency, and ability to create a life that feels genuinely aligned.

She Followed the Script for Success—Then She Found Her Own | Becca Eve Young
2026/07/13
What happens when you spend years climbing the corporate ladder, building someone else's dream, and checking every box society tells you will lead to success—only to realize you're living a life that no longer feels like your own?
In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with author, speaker, and transformational guide Becca Eve Young for a powerful conversation about corporate burnout, career success, personal growth, self-discovery, and redefining what it truly means to live an authentic life.
After years of leading multimillion-dollar marketing initiatives and building what looked like the perfect life from the outside, everything began to unravel. Divorce. Career uncertainty. A global pandemic. Isolation in rural Mexico. What could have become the darkest chapter of her life instead became the beginning of her greatest transformation.
Becca shares how stepping away from the constant pressure to perform allowed her to question the definition of success she had been chasing for decades. Through solitude, loss, and unexpected life changes, she discovered her own voice, embraced a more intentional way of living, and found the courage to stop following everyone else's script and start writing her own.
If you've ever felt successful on paper but unfulfilled inside, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that sometimes losing the life you built is exactly what makes room for the life you were meant to live.

The Decision That Sparked a Mission to Help One Million People Become Financially Free | Scott Curry
2026/06/29
What happens when one decision changes the course of your life forever?
After hearing his young children cry, "Daddy, don't leave us," Scott Curry made a decision that would eventually change not only his own future, but his life's mission.
What began as a desire to create more freedom for his family led him to build a successful YouTube business and recurring membership community. But after navigating a series of personal tragedies—including his son fighting for his life in the ICU, leaving an abusive relationship, and learning about his mother's greatest regret—Scott realized financial freedom wasn't simply about making more money.
It was about having the freedom to show up when life matters most.
Today, Scott's mission is to help one million people become financially free so they have more choices, more time, and the ability to be present for the people they love.
Whether you're building a business, searching for greater purpose, or redefining what success means, this conversation offers a powerful perspective on why the life you build today can determine how you experience tomorrow.

Why Success Gets Scarier the Closer You Get | Lessons From Eight Years in Hollywood | Belle Guillory
2026/06/22
What if the biggest obstacle to your success isn't failure... it's what happens when success finally gets within reach?
Most people think the hard part is getting the opportunity. Actress, producer, and filmmaker Belle Guillory discovered something different after spending eight years building a career in Hollywood: every new level requires a new version of you.
In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with Belle for an honest conversation about what it really takes to pursue a dream that doesn't happen overnight. From studying at the New York Film Academy and building a career in Los Angeles to working behind the camera, in front of the camera, and everywhere in between, Belle shares why lasting success is built through resilience, patience, and personal growth.
This conversation explores why success often feels scarier the closer you get, the difference between dreaming and doing, and how learning every part of your craft can prepare you for opportunities you never expected. Whether you're building a business, pursuing a creative career, or stepping into your next chapter, Belle's story is a reminder that success isn't just about reaching your dream—it's about growing into the person who can carry it.
