She Is A Leader - The Podcast for Women Creating Impact, Profit, and Peace in Their Business

Building a business in a male-dominated industry comes with a different kind of pressure, one where you’re often underestimated before you even get the chance to speak.In this episode of the She Is a Leader Podcast, we explore what it really takes to lead when you’re constantly being questioned, labeled, or placed into expectations that were never built for you.I’m joined by Hannah Hurckes, founder and CEO of Boss Lady Logistics, who shares how she built her company in the logistics space while challenging outdated norms and redefining what leadership looks like for women.In this conversation, Hannah opens up about the moment she was asked “whose assistant are you?” at a conference, and how that experience shaped her confidence, resilience, and leadership style over time.We talk about leading by example, building trust within your team, and why your actions will always speak louder than trying to prove yourself.Hannah also shares how she approaches team culture, balancing high expectations with real support, and what it looks like to grow a business without losing the human side of leadership.If you’ve ever felt overlooked or underestimated, this episode will shift how you think about authority, leadership, and the way you show up.--------------DISCLAIMER:This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.

There’s something new I’ve been building… and it’s been sitting in the background for years.In this solo episode of the She Is a Leader, I’m taking you behind the scenes of starting my second company: FemAuthority.I talk about what led to this. The realization that something is missing in how we teach business. The frustration with “one way to do it” messaging. The push to build something that actually gives women and minorities the tools to create real, profitable businesses on their terms.But I also share the other side of this…The moments of “who am I to do this?”The back and forth between excitement and doubt.The reality of building something that’s meant to be bigger than you.If you’ve been sitting on a vision that won’t leave you alone… this one is for you.--------------DISCLAIMER:This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.
