She urges women to stay involved even when a spouse handles money by knowing where assets are and attending regular advisor meetings, noting many women feel detached, find finance terminology boring, or lack a sense of ownership. Harris describes advising couples with differing goals—family security vs. charity—by focusing on facts like annual living needs and inheritance goals to reduce emotion and reach agreement. She discusses the “shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves” pattern of losing wealth in three generations and emphasizes building family culture, traditions, and values to avoid entitlement, structure inheritance thoughtfully, communicate expectations to prevent family division, and define wealth as overall wellbeing, including health and relationships.

Although the meeting went well until the last ten minutes when it turned “sideways,” her sons stepped in to help and she reflects on relying on family and strong professional relationships to navigate setbacks. She emphasizes the value of having people in your corner, encourages listeners to find and be that support for others, and notes that relationships are what matter most when life is hard.

Women’s Network Podcast, host Jodie Lemon interviews Utah entrepreneur and designer Heather Osmond about her journey from a young marriage and early real estate work into founding Osmond Designs, which grew from staging homes into a full-service furniture and interior design business serving model homes, luxury homes, and major builders across Utah. Heather shares how she and her former husband built wealth through disciplined real estate investing—starting by renting out part of their first home, eventually owning 33 single-family rentals, then shifting into assisted living facilities (later sold before COVID) and retail shopping centers. She discusses practical, low-cost home updates for resale, her family’s involvement in her businesses, her “never pay retail” philosophy (including a car dealer license), launching an Italy-made clothing line, purchasing the Best of State awards business, sponsoring Stadium of Fire giveaways, and how faith, resilience, and adaptability guided her through divorce and growth.

Brandy shares faith-driven turning points that taught her to trust God through hardship, take proactive steps without seeing the full picture, and lean on prayer, community, and gratitude during difficult seasons, including losing a Promise to Live volunteer to suicide and supporting a child in crisis. She recounts her daughter’s suicide attempt, a perceived miracle recovery, and the promise that inspired Promise to Live in 2021, emphasizing that many people want to end pain, not life.

She shares that balance isn’t equal and shifts over time, with some seasons requiring more focus on work and others on family. Valinda describes learning to prioritize presence, recalling how she used to come home focused on chores instead of being in the moment with her kids. Now as a grandmother, she cherishes weekly calls and visits, puts her phone down, and listens even when stories repeat. She also schedules dedicated one-on-one days each month with each grandchild. A conversation with strangers at a bar reinforces her belief to never apologize for answering family calls, since those moments can’t be regained.

He explains emotional intelligence as witnessing emotions without acting on them, notes a Stanford study that emotions average 90 seconds, and describes tools like the “emotion bus” to replace counterfeits with authentic twins (e.g., anger with advocacy, anxiety with awareness, suspicion with curiosity). The conversation also covers choosing one’s attitude, identity attachment as suffering, and grounding worth in being a child of God, emphasizing peace as the one emotion that cannot be counterfeited.

On the Yes Women’s Network Podcast, host Michele Morley interviews Liz Hartke of Luminary Leadership Company, nearly 15 years in business, about evolving from marketing to scaling entrepreneurs through leadership and values-aligned growth. Hartge explains burnout often comes from working outside one’s “zone of genius,” and describes using an online leadership style assessment to identify gifts, energy drains, and roadblocks for clients and teams worldwide. She shares a shift in prioritizing proximity and availability for her five children by elevating her team, systemizing operations, choosing family-honoring clients, and batching commitments, integrating kids into work and homeschooling. Hartge challenges one-size-fits-all success, emphasizes intuition, and outlines frameworks including the Clarity Matrix, focusing on “easy/heavy” versus “hard/light,” and choosing a trajectory over rigid goals. She describes daily intentional time with God, mindset discipline, offers a Clarity Playbook via Instagram DM, and previews her upcoming book and podcast, Your Big Next.

Drawing on three decades in broadcasting, Nicea reflects on navigating career transitions, becoming an empty nester, and learning to trust her intuition instead of comparing herself to others. She shares how social media affected her self-worth, the lessons she learned about authenticity, and why true confidence comes from embracing who you are rather than trying to please everyone. The conversation explores the influence of motherhood on her journalism, including how covering the Elizabeth Smart case changed her perspective forever. Nicea also discusses parenting adult children, redefining success at different stages of life, balancing career ambitions with family, and why peace—not achievement—has become her measure of success. She closes with an inspiring reminder that every person brings something unique to the world and encourages women to discover what makes them different and confidently lead with it.
