Jen Kornoely: Money Mindset, Pricing Confidence & Business Books for Women Entrepreneurs

Starting Over at 40: From Single Mom Scramble to eBay, Etsy & Author Success | Kira Hartley Klinger

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2083529/fan_mail/new] Starting over at 40 is rarely a clean reset. Most of the time, it is a messy rebuild while life keeps moving. In this episode of Women Like Me Stories & Business, Julie Fairhurst sits down with entrepreneur, author, and speaker Kira Hartley Klinger for a brutally honest conversation about rebuilding your life, your income, and your confidence without a perfect resume, a college degree, or a pile of startup money. Kira shares how she went from single-mom scramble mode to generating real income through auctions, eBay reselling, Etsy, vintage fabric, and relentless reinvesting. What began as survival turned into business, and what began as trial and error became proof that women can start again with grit, instinct, and one brave next step. We talk about impostor syndrome, confidence, debt-free living, reselling online, building an Etsy shop, free marketing, self-publishing, book marketing, and why Amazon will not sell your book unless you show up and do the work. Kira also shares what it was like to publish her first book at 55 after writing for decades, and why it is never too late to become the woman you were quietly becoming all along. This conversation is for women who are thinking about midlife entrepreneurship, starting a side hustle, selling on eBay, opening an Etsy shop, self-publishing a book, getting out of debt, or finally trusting themselves again. If you have ever felt stuck, underestimated, unqualified, or too late, this episode is your reminder: you are not too late. You are in the rebuild.

Christine Dillard: Surviving Coercive Control, Gaslighting & Emotional Abuse

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2083529/fan_mail/new] You can be the person who commands the boardroom and still feel like you are disappearing at home. In this powerful episode of Women Like Me Stories & Business, Julie Fairhurst sits down with Christine Dillard, author of The Truth She Showed Me, for an honest conversation about surviving coercive control, gaslighting, emotional abuse, and the long journey back to yourself after a 17-year marriage that slowly stripped away her confidence, peace, and sense of reality. Christine shares what nonphysical abuse can look like behind closed doors: the angry outbursts that train you to overcompensate, the sudden “crises” that happen when you try to leave the house, the loss of alone time, and the quiet isolation that can leave a woman exhausted, confused, and questioning herself. We talk about the moment Christine realized what she was living through was not normal, and why leaving an abusive relationship is rarely as simple as walking away. Children, finances, health insurance, custody fears, housing, and safety can all make leaving a careful, complicated process. Christine also speaks to the shame many high-performing women carry in silence — looking strong, capable, and successful in public while privately falling apart. This conversation also explores the way the body often tells the truth before the mind is ready to say it out loud. Insomnia, tight shoulders, racing heart, high blood pressure, chronic stress, and emotional exhaustion can all become signals that something is deeply wrong. Christine offers compassion for women who are still asking, “Is it really that bad?” Her answer is steady and clear: if you are asking the question, there is a reason. This episode is for the woman who looks fine on the outside but knows something inside her is begging to be heard. It is also for the friend, sister, daughter, coworker, or loved one who may need help recognizing the signs. If this conversation brings someone to mind, please share it with them. And if it speaks to you, subscribe, leave a review, and pass Christine’s book along to the person who needs the words.

Feminine Wealth for Women Entrepreneurs | Money Mindset, Sales & Intuition with Shakti Sharma

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2083529/fan_mail/new] You can have the MBA, the title, the polished life on paper, and still feel a hollow ache you cannot explain. In this episode of Women Like Me Stories & Business, Julie Fairhurst sits down with Shakti Sharma, founder of the Feminine Wealth Movement, to discuss feminine wealth, intuition, money mindset, and what happens when women entrepreneurs stop building success through pressure and start listening to their inner wisdom. Shakti shares the powerful moment that changed everything for her: a late-pregnancy breaking point that became a clear call to stop living by other people’s expectations and start trusting her intuition. We talk about what feminine wealth really means for mission-driven women, coaches, creatives, healers, authors, and entrepreneurs who are tired of hustle culture and ready to build success with more alignment, ease, and truth. Shakti also shares a memorable magnet-and-insulator analogy that will help you see sales in a completely different way. Not as rejection. Not as pressure. Not as proving your worth. But as truth, alignment, and energetic clarity. If you are a woman entrepreneur who feels tired of pushing, forcing, over-giving, or trying to succeed in ways that no longer fit your body, your values, or your soul, this conversation is your sacred pause. Listen in and be reminded: wealth is not just what you earn. It is how you live, lead, sell, receive, and trust yourself.

Jo Ann Fawcett: Narcissistic Abuse, Codependency & Reclaiming Yourself After Toxic Marriage

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2083529/fan_mail/new] Seven marriages can sound like a headline, but Jo Ann Fawcett’s story is really about something quieter and harder: how easy it is to confuse loyalty with losing yourself. In this episode of Women Like Me Stories & Business, Julie Fairhurst sits down with Jo Ann Fawcett to talk about narcissistic abuse, codependency, toxic relationship patterns, and what it takes to reclaim yourself after years of self-abandonment. Jo Ann shares how the belief of “not enough” can begin early, how codependent patterns are often learned in families, and why repeating the same relationship dynamic can feel inevitable until you finally get the language to understand what is happening. She also shares the powerful moment in early 2020 when things began to shift, from a psychic development exercise about cutting energetic cords to noticing a therapist’s sign that read “narcissistic abuse.” That moment opened the door to a deeper understanding of the red flags she had missed or normalized for years. Julie and Jo Ann talk honestly about blame-shifting, gaslighting, financial drain, never being allowed to offer criticism, and the slow erosion of confidence that can happen inside toxic marriages. They also explore Jo Ann's memoir, The Prince Was Wrong, and the question at the heart of so many painful relationships: when does endurance become self-abandonment? This conversation is also about healing. Jo Ann explains how writing, journaling, and therapy helped her process the past, break generational patterns, and begin building a life that feels free. She also shares the spiritual side of her journey, including the unseen world, energetic healing, and the practices that help her feel grounded and connected again. If you have ever felt trapped, ashamed, confused, or afraid to name what was happening in a relationship, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone, you are not broken, and it is never too late to come back to yourself.

Jen Kornoely: Money Mindset, Pricing Confidence & Business Books for Women Entrepreneurs

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2083529/fan_mail/new] Getting fired can wreck your confidence, or it can clarify your priorities fast. In this episode of Women Like Me Stories & Business, Julie Fairhurst sits down with Jen Kornoely to discuss entrepreneurship, money mindset, pricing confidence, and the hard lessons many women learn when they become their own bosses. After losing a corporate job for reasons unrelated to performance, Jen made a powerful decision: she would never again let anyone else control her income, stability, or options. What began as a photography hobby became a real estate photography business, but the dream of being her own boss quickly met the reality of taxes, cash flow, pricing, and understanding that revenue is not the same as take-home pay. Julie and Jen dig into personal finance for women and why money conversations are essential for entrepreneurship. They explore why so many women underprice their work, how scarcity thinking shows up in business decisions, and what changes when women start having honest conversations about value, numbers, negotiation, and financial confidence. Jen also shares how personal development books and business books helped her advocate for herself, grow her confidence, and think differently about business. She talks about accessible learning tools like Libby and Hoopla, and why you do not need to pay MBA-level prices to start building your business and financial knowledge. The conversation also explores Jen’s women-only community, She Reads, She Leads Book Club, where women vote on business, finance, and mindset books each month and meet on Zoom to turn ideas into action. This is not just about reading more books. It is about implementation over inspiration, learning what to keep, what to leave behind, and why community can become a genuine business strategy. If you are a woman entrepreneur, author, coach, creative, photographer, service provider, or home-based business owner who has felt isolated, unsure about pricing, or ready to get smarter with money and business, this episode will give you practical next steps and a serious boost of momentum.
