Wickedly Smart Women: Trusting Intuition, Taking Action, Transforming Worlds by Anjel B. Hartwell
In the corporate world, men often earn significantly more than women in comparable roles.
The gender gap is even wider in startups. The average investment in women-led companies is $935,000 versus $2.1M for businesses founded by men.
And it isn’t because men are more qualified or more intelligent.
It’s because they tend to be more confident.
So, what can women do to own our worth? How do we recognize and articulate the value we offer with confidence to earn what we deserve?
Bryony Cooper serves as Managing Partner at Warsaw-based VC fund Arkley Brinc, a firm that invests in early-stage startups throughout Europe.
An international entrepreneur-turned-VC, Bryony founded three tech companies before the age of 30, and she is a passionate advocate for gender equality and diversity in tech.

"When I look back on my success, nine out of ten startups fail. What helped me beat the odds was my ability to tune into people, inspiring them to take action and make a better world," - Lisa D.Foster
Plastic has become ubiquitous in our daily lives, but its convenience has come at a high cost. Millions of tons of plastic waste are dumped into our oceans and landfills every year, causing harm to wildlife and ecosystems. By 2050, it's estimated that there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish.
"I got mad about the plastic use, I got mad about the paper bag use, and I saw a different way,” Lisa D. Foster founded One Bag at a Time, a reusable grocery bag company, and grew it to an $8M business before selling it in 2017. Born into a Holocaust-affected family, Lisa overcame low expectations to become an English teacher before pivoting to become a purpose-driven eco-entrepreneur and pioneer in the fight against single-use plastic. Now, as a business coach, she shares leadership and inspires change. She’s also the author of the book, “Bag Lady.”
On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Lisa joins Anjel to share her journey of founding and then selling her successful reusable grocery bag company at its peak.
Listen in as she walks us through the impact one person can have on the world, the importance of taking action and the value of persistence, both in business and in life, and how it can help you overcome setbacks, achieve your goals, and become a better leader.

Did you know that when you were a child, you created deep beliefs you don't even remember making, yet they inform your life now as an adult?
Experts have determined that we create our core beliefs of how "I am…" how "they are…" and how "life is… between our time in the womb and the time we are seven years old.

'Burnout isn't just overwork; it's lack of reward,' - Dr. Jacqueline Kerr
The cultural shifts that began in the late 60s and continued through the 70s brought new liberation for women.
But with that came ads like Enjoli's "Because I'm a Woman," which conditioned women to believe we had to do it all—sending us on a never-ending quest to achieve more each day.
These days, busyness is a lifestyle, and burnout has become part of the norm. But burnout can lead to BIG problems, like relationship deterioration, depression, substance abuse, and even illness.
So, how can we stop being seduced by today's busyness culture?
Dr. Jacqueline Kerr is a mom, behavior scientist, and burnout survivor. In 2018, she left her position as a public health professor and began the fight to dismantle working mom burnout. Through her TEDx talk and her podcast Overcoming Working Mom Burnout, she provides information and solutions we can all use to change the social norms around burnout.
On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Jacqueline joins Anjel to share how burnout forced her to leave her position as a public health professor, where she was in the top 1% of most cited scientists worldwide.
She'll walk us through why the culture of busyness is so damaging and the most important thing we can do when facing parental burnout.
Listen in as Jacqueline shares the techniques she uses to help her clients recognize the earliest signs and take steps to 'stop burnout before it starts.'

“Ultimately, embodiment is the ability of your higher consciousness self to actualize through the physical into the physical reality, '— Alara Sage
Over the last 50 years, the idea of enjoyment and pleasure got married to feeling guilty. Plus, many of us are carrying unreleased trauma, which leaves us walking around with our nervous systems stuck on causing us to be unable to relax and enjoy pleasure and find true fulfillment in life, love, and sex.
So, how can we learn to trust ourselves enough to embrace embodiment, and open our creative minds to live more pleasurable and fulfilled lives?
Alara Sage is a teacher, mentor, and healer. With over 15 years of training and experience, she specializes in helping courageous individuals unlock their potential to live authentic, creative, pleasurable, and fulfilled lives. Using her methodology, she helps people to bridge the gap between a conceptual understanding of mind/body/spirit and the true embodiment of higher levels of consciousness.
On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Alara joins Anjel to share the connection between unreleased trauma and how that causes our nervous system to shut down, creating disembodiment and an inability to experience the physical fully.
Tune in as Alara walks us through how to embrace embodiment and use our feminine energy for more enjoyment in our sex lives and more creative energy in every moment.

How unreleased trauma creates disembodiment and shuts down our nervous system

"We are normalizing that women can be at a million a year. But what got you here at 6 figures will never get you to 7 figures. At each new plateau of your business, there is a new mindset to adopt."—Fabienne Fredrickson
Do you work evenings and weekends, but you're still not scaling the way you dreamed?
Do you feel you can't make it to the next level in your business without sacrificing more time with your family?
As women, we equate having a 6 or 7-figure business with more in-the-trenches hands-on work.
But it doesn't have to be that way!
For 20+ years, Fabienne Fredrickson has mentored thousands of women business owners to scale their businesses to 6 and 7 figures a year while living lives they love. Her Leveraged Business methodology is based on her nearly 15 years of experience in generating multiple 7 figures annually with three children at home. Fabienne's revolutionary book, The Leveraged Business: How You Can Go From Overwhelmed at 6-Figures to 7 Figures (and Get Your Life Back), is the new definitive roadmap on how she's done it and how you can, too, without sacrificing your life.
On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Fabienne joins Anjel to share her journey from being unemployable to stepping into her calling to help other women use their unique brilliance to achieve 6 and 7 figures per year.
Tune in to hear the inspiring story of how a song kept her from giving up when she was ready to throw in the towel on chasing her dreams and return to the corporate world.
Listen in as Fabienne walks us through exactly what you need to focus on at each level to break through your income plateaus.

Why it's more difficult to scale from 6 figures than any other level

Why most people use their time wrong and end up working themselves into burnout

A few years ago, at a women’s empowerment luncheon, Simone Knego was listening to a motivational speaker she admired and thought, ‘That will never be me.’ But then she realized, that’s the whole point. You’re not supposed to be someone else. You’re supposed to be YOU.

All life crises are not created equal. Betrayal is unique in the way it shatters the foundation of our relationships and sense of safety and security. After all, when the people you trust the most prove untrustworthy, who do you trust? And according to Dr. Debi Silber, time doesn’t necessarily heal the wounds of betrayal unless we actively rebuild our sense of belonging, confidence and worthiness.

She is also the author of the bestseller The Unshakable Woman: 4 Steps to Rebuilding Your Body, Mind and Life After a Life Crisis.

“So often people look at money, they look at their business as the Source of them, not a resource. When you make it the Source, then everything has this weird, secret agenda underneath it.

Jennifer specializes in helping people connect to themselves, each other and the Divine, and her insight is embraced by top healers, lifestyle coaches and C-suite executives all over the world.

Featuring the world’s most impressive emerging and established Wickedly Smart Women, this is the show where we spotlight, celebrate and elevate the Creative Age Leaders & Wickedly Smart Women who are making a massive difference in the world! Listeners who are Wickedly Smart Women "in the making" tune IN to be well fed with dynamic wisdom, legendary modeling and immediately actionable steps to be smarter, spunkier & more successful in their impact & leadership, careers, health, relationships, creativity and sexuality so that they can be more empowered & enthusiastic in every area of their life! Wickedly Smart Women is where we strive to support women to deeply connect to their capacity to create conscious change, care deeply and have the courage to take action and wholeheartedly contribute to what matters most - A thriving earth, thriving relationships, work that is playful and pleasurable as well as profitable and making the changes they were born to manifest while leading a legendary legacy life that feels both luscious & luxurious.
PURPOSE FOR SHOW: I'm specifically producing this podcast for 3 main reasons: 1) To elevate & celebrate Wickedly Smart Women - women who are called, committed, & consciously creating change in the world in service to the good of the all.
2) To provide the listening audience with models of Wonderful Wickedly Smart Women so that they are inspired and motivated by their stories and uplifted and invigorated by the wisdom being shared which includes prospering in my own business by creating clients as a result of producing the show – either from the guest list or from the listening audience
3) To put the spotlight on smart women rather than subservient women - our current culture and media milieu is filled with stories of how women have been victimized rather than fully celebrating and elevating what's working for women who are putting their brains and creative power to good use and making a difference NOW. I want this show to be a counter balance to the onslaught of negativity that brings people down and a platform for Wickedly Smart Women to Rise Up & Radiate.
