What if your lack of desire isn’t a “libido problem”… but a burnout problem?

What if the confidence you’re chasing in your business is directly connected to the pleasure you’ve been suppressing?

In this bold and boundary-breaking episode, we sit down with Gwyn Isaacs, a certified clinical sexologist, intimacy coach, and host of What Excites Us, to talk about the conversation women were never properly invited to have: pleasure, shame, desire, and power. Gwyn helps women untangle sexual shame, reconnect with their bodies, and reclaim pleasure as a source of confidence and authority, not something to hide or apologize for.

This isn’t just about sex.

It’s about self-ownership.

It’s about feminine power.

It’s about feeling fully alive in your body instead of running on cortisol and survival mode.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your desire…

If you’ve ever carried shame around what you want…

If you’re ready to stop shrinking and start owning every part of yourself…

🎧 Press play now. And ask yourself: What would change in my life if I truly allowed myself to feel good?

What if the reason you “hate sales”… is because you were taught to do it the wrong way? In this powerful episode of Women Thrive, we sit down with Aileen Boyle, sales & revenue generation architect and Founder and CEO of Fortro, who has spent over 20 years scaling founder-led brands and advising more than 300 businesses. Known for ripping up the old, masculine playbook of “always be closing,” Aileen helps women build revenue in a way that feels credible, aligned, and powerful — without becoming someone they’re not.

We discussed redefining selling, healing your mindset around money, and generating consistent revenue through simple, repeatable processes rather than relying on hustle and hope. If your income feels wobbly, if you avoid sales conversations, or if your brilliance isn’t reflected in your numbers yet — this episode will challenge what you think sales is and show you how to build sustainable growth with confidence and clarity.

✨ About the Guest ✨

Aileen Boyle is the Founder and CEO of Fortro, a Sales & Revenue Architect known for ripping up the old playbook on how women do sales and revenue generation. She is the person founders call when the numbers don’t match the brilliance of their work, when revenue feels wobbly, or when they’re ready to scale with systems that hold under pressure.

With over 20 years scaling founder-led brands, Aileen has advised 300+ businesses, delivered international keynotes, and delivered talks to the London School of Economics, and Strathclyde Business School. She has been a panel judge for Scottish Edge Entrepreneurial competitional and mentored over 50 business leaders. She has co-authored Voices of the 21st Century and her thought leadership has been featured on global podcasts including Womens Speaker Association, Leadership Torque: Waymaker, and Womens Leadership Summit for WYN Conferences.

Aileen’s work dismantles the outdated sales systems that were never written for women - systems that reward grind, pressure, and posturing, leaving founders exhausted, second-guessing, and caught in revenue cycles that feel fragile at best. Her clients shift from deep discomfort and overexplaining to consistent, scalable revenue, hearing "yes" on a regular basis.

Fierce, funny, and unapologetically real, Aileen believes every woman should have the tools to be exactly who they were meant to be.

---What if the life you’re building is quietly built on a belief that’s keeping you small?

In this bold episode of Women Thrive, Angelina Badri walks into high-risk, male-dominated industries, where fatalities have been accepted as “part of the job” and dares to say: We can choose differently.

If you’re ready to disrupt the narrative in your business and in your life, this conversation will light a fire in you.

✨ About the Guest ✨

Angelina Badri has spent her life paying attention to what many would consider the unseen, the moments where people disconnect from themselves, where leaders override instinct, and where systems quietly train humans to abandon their own awareness.

Founder and Director of Universal Safety Wellness® a global consulting firm that uniquely drives impact by applying her proprietary frameworks to disrupt and realign, both the organizational and human operating systems. Challenging outdated, compliance-driven models and replacing them with human-first strategies that drive real behavioral change. Angelina’s approach is bold, grounded, and deeply human. She disrupts patterns, names what’s really happening beneath the surface, and equips leaders to move from trauma-based reactions to empowered, conscious action. Whether on stage, in boardrooms, or embedded within organizations, her work activates sustainable change, not motivation theatre. Angelina doesn’t just speak about transformation. She builds it, human by human, system by system, legacy by legacy.

What if the way you see your body isn’t the problem—but the story you’ve been taught to believe about it?

In this deeply honest and empowering episode of Women Thrive, we go into the hidden layers behind body image, self-worth, and confidence—especially for women who look “fine” on the outside but are quietly at war with themselves on the inside. Our guest, Susan Walker, brings decades of clinical wisdom and lived experience to a conversation many women have been afraid to voice out loud.

From navigating medical trauma and profound loss to confronting shame, guilt, and perfectionism around food and appearance, this episode peels back the surface of body confidence and gets to the real work beneath it. You’ll hear why dieting culture keeps women stuck, how trauma and self-esteem are deeply intertwined, and what it actually takes to make peace with your body—without punishment, deprivation, or self-criticism.

This conversation is for the woman who’s tired of feeling disconnected from her reflection, exhausted by rules around food, and ready to stop “fixing” herself and start accepting herself. If you’ve ever felt trapped between loving your body and trying to change it, this episode will meet you exactly where you are—and gently show you a new way forward.
