Empowering Women to Build Wealth

When Kiana Danial lost her job on Wall Street, she could have seen it as an end. Instead, she saw it as the beginning of something extraordinary. Today, Kiana is the founder of Invest Diva—a platform dedicated to helping women step confidently into the world of finance.  Through her work, Kiana is breaking down the barriers that often keep women feeling powerless or intimidated by money, transforming financial literacy into an essential skill for every woman. In this episode, Kiana sits down with Rachel to share her story, beginning with her early experiences in Japan and Iran, where discussing money was considered taboo. That background gave her a unique perspective, fueling her passion to build a community where women could openly discuss and learn about finances. She understood firsthand the struggles and self-doubt that many women face around money, and she wanted to change that narrative. For Kiana, financial empowerment isn’t just about having wealth—it’s about having peace of mind. She knows what it’s like to worry about the next dollar, to feel uncertain in a world dominated by masculine energy and traditionRachel Roth Show- Podcast Content Planning [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1BC3V8qoCHpPJoYFupTrq38mOZpYoFyBEixJv2Eif_fk/edit]al financial norms. But through Invest Diva, she teaches women that they, too, can make confident investment decisions, grow their income, and build what she calls a “wealth ecosystem.” Kiana’s mission is to show women that financial security isn’t reserved for the few—it’s achievable for anyone willing to take the first step. She believes that every woman deserves the confidence that comes with financial freedom, and she’s made it her life’s work to make this possible.

The Power of Food as Medicine

Andrea Nakayama is a powerhouse in the world of functional medicine, and her passion for empowering people to reclaim ownership of their health is at the heart of everything she does.  Andrea’s story is deeply personal, shaped by the struggles and pain she faced after losing her husband. Rather than being consumed by her grief, she honored his legacy by channeling her energy into helping others find hope and healing in their own health journeys. Her approach highlights the hidden epidemic of inflammation and how external toxins, paired with internal imbalances, can damage our health. Andrea emphasizes non-negotiable health basics: sleep, digestion, and blood sugar regulation. She encourages us to stop being strangers to our bodies and embrace food as medicine. Through her Functional Nutritional Alliance, Andrea teaches that health is more than just avoiding illness—it's about harnessing the power within us to thrive.   Connect with Andrea: https://www.andreanakayama.com/ [https://www.andreanakayama.com/] Connect with Rachel: https://www.rachelrroth.com/ [https://www.rachelrroth.com/]Follow her on Instagram @rachel_r_roth [https://www.instagram.com/rachel_r_roth/?hl=en] https://www.instagram.com/rachel_r_roth/?hl=en

Ditch Perfection and Be the Real You

What if you stopped hiding behind perfection? What if you showed up exactly as you are, flaws and all? In this episode, Rachel sits down with Barb Betts for an eye-opening conversation about shedding the fear of judgment, embracing authenticity, and finally kicking imposter syndrome to the curb. Barb shares her journey of living behind a secret, weighed down by shame and the fear of being judged. But constantly worrying about what others think and striving to please everyone left her feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. Her turning point came when she realized that people are going to talk no matter what. The conversation dives deep into the idea that imposter syndrome is just a story we tell ourselves—a lie that convinces us we’re not enough. Barb admits she struggled with it for years, constantly doubting her worth and downplaying her achievements.  Barb’s story is a reminder that living authentically takes courage, but it's the key to true confidence and freedom. Imposter syndrome will only hold you back if you let it, so rip the bandaid off, stop telling yourself those fake stories, and start living as the real you.

Are You Leading with Passion or Just Going Through the Motions?

What if leading with purpose could change everything for you and those around you? In this conversation, Nicole brings fresh insights into what it truly means to lead with passion, and this conversation will leave you ready to step into your calling. Nicole believes that when leaders root themselves in their mission, they inspire their teams to do the same. Too many leaders are going through the motions, lacking the passion needed to inspire those around them. If you're not connected to your purpose, how can you expect your team to feel that drive? Nicole emphasizes that leadership is about knowing your team, appreciating them, and helping them connect their personal purpose to the organization’s mission. Productivity multiplies when people feel valued, and passion follows purpose. “What does your heart break for?” Nicole asks. That’s where purpose is found. It’s not just about what you do—it’s about who you’re called to serve. Imagine a world where every leader tapped into that potential. Could you imagine the impact? This conversation with Nicole will leave you reflecting on your own calling, and how you can lead with purpose in every aspect of your life. Whether you're a leader or just figuring out your path, this conversation is for you.   Connect with Nicole: https://www.connectedwithnicole.com/ [https://www.connectedwithnicole.com/] Connect with Rachel: https://www.rachelrroth.com/ [https://www.rachelrroth.com/]Follow her on Instagram @rachel_r_roth [https://www.instagram.com/rachel_r_roth/?hl=en]

Confidence Starts in Your Closet

Rachel couldn’t be more excited about today’s conversation with Jessica Papineau, the founder of CSJ Styling. Jessica’s story is one of passion, confidence, and the magic that happens when fashion meets identity. From her early days in retail to now transforming women’s lives, Jessica has a gift for helping women feel fantastic about themselves. When we think about fashion and styling, we often focus on clothes and beauty. But Jessica sees it differently—it’s about stepping into your power as a woman. As Jessica explains, the more insecure you feel, the more you focus inward, caught up in who you think you should be. That insecurity becomes a cycle that only keeps us stuck. But when you feel fantastic about yourself, something amazing happens. Jessica shared how her love for fashion began in childhood and evolved into a gift she uses to help women feel fantastic. It’s not just about fit and fabric—it’s about shedding insecurities and trying something new, even when fear gets in the way.  Jessica’s story is inspiring—her ability to align fashion, beauty, and identity is nothing short of a gift. She helps women not just look their best but feel powerful, confident, and ready to take on the world.  Rachel walked away from their conversation realizing that every woman could benefit from having someone like Jessica in her life—someone who can breathe life into their wardrobe and, more importantly, their confidence.   Connect with Jessica: https://csjstyling.com/ [https://csjstyling.com/]Follow Jessica on Instagram  [https://www.instagram.com/thejessicapapineau/]   Connect with Rachel: https://www.rachelrroth.com/ [https://www.rachelrroth.com/] Follow her on Instagram @rachel_r_roth [https://www.instagram.com/rachel_r_roth/?hl=en]
