Leadership that ignores mental and emotional health is expensive -personally and professionally. 


In this episode, I’m joined by two 2025 PWR Impact Award winners who are redefining what strength, resilience and sustainable growth look like for women in busness.


Erica Valenzuela, winner of the Resilience Award, is the creator of E-Motion, a space that blends rage, release, movement, and reflection to support emotional health.  


LaKisha Mosely, PWR Podcast Guest of the Year, is known as the Soft Simple CEO and helps women build profitable businesses without sacrificing their mental health. 


We discuss:

• How emotional healing creates the resilience and clarity required to succeed in business.
• Why mental health is the blueprint for execution, not an afterthought, and rest is a strategy, not a reward.
• Rest as a strategy, not a reward.
• "High-functioning burnout" and the warning signs most women ignore
• Building your network before you need it, taking your own advice, setting boundaries, and more...

Together, we explore the long game of business growth and how capacity, community, and trust create momentum no shortcut ever will.


If you want growth that feels steady instead of exhausting, this conversation offers practical tools and a more sustainable way to lead.
