Ep78 Empowering Women Beyond Bars: Entrepreneurship, Resilience, and Real Talk with Tia Upshaw
2026/04/17
What happens when unstoppable authenticity meets unapologetic ambition? This week, you’ll find out. If you’re ready to be inspired by lived experience, powered by radical honesty, and driven by real strategies for success—from the jail cell to the main stage—hit play now.
In this candid and empowering conversation, Tara MacDonald welcomes award-winning international business coach, serial entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and founder of Blk Women in Excellence, Tia Upshaw. Together, they discuss the realities of being women in business, the challenges (and triumphs) of plus-size representation in the wellness space, and how true empowerment is built—through community, self-worth, and never shrinking from your story.
From a childhood marked by adversity to building a movement that uplifts marginalized women entrepreneurs across Canada, Tia shares how her personal history of incarceration, single parenting, and persistent hustle shaped a life and career focused on possibility instead of limitation.
This episode features:
Real talk about overcoming the stigmas of a “non-traditional” backgroundThe inside scoop on a brand-new entrepreneurial pilot program for incarcerated women in Nova Scotia—where business is more than a buzzword and hope redefines the futureRaw discussion about online hate, the difference between allies and accomplices, and why celebrating your wins is an act of resistanceTangible advice for women wondering how to scale their side hustle, price for profit, and embrace confidence at any size
Key Takeaways1. Building Businesses, Breaking BarriersTia’s mission is all about making entrepreneurship accessible—especially for women dealing with social, economic, and systemic obstacles like criminal records, single parenting, abuse, and poverty. Her pilot program for women in prison is changing lives by enabling them to build real businesses, send meaningful income home, and develop real-world skills for re-entry. Expect to be inspired by how 60% of proceeds are designated for families, and the rest helps support women while still inside.
2. Your Story Isn’t a Liability—It’s LeverageFrom telling her own truth about mental health, incarceration, and being “unemployable,” Tia and Tara prove that vulnerability and radical self-acceptance are the real flex—personally and professionally.
3. Authenticity and Resilience: The Competitive EdgeThis episode dives deep into the emotional costs of online hate, body shaming, and workplace discrimination—but also the freedom that comes with refusing to “play small” or hide your power, no matter your size or background.
4. Know Your Value—and Charge For ItHear how Tia built her reputation and her rates—from speaking for free to negotiating $9,800 contracts and closing multiple high-ticket coaching clients each quarter. If you’ve struggled with valuing your own work, you’ll get tactical advice on setting rates, building credibility, and saying “no” to unpaid labor.
5. Collaboration is KeyThe conversation underscores why women need not just “allies”—but accomplices willing to put their money, voice, and power on the table for real change. Collaboration, not competition, is how we all rise.
