She Takes The Lead

Start leading your next chapter with boldness and intention, one episode at a time. She Takes The Lead is a personal development podcast that cuts through the noise with raw honesty and genuine empathy for anyone ready to take on life's "left turns" head on. Hosted by Carole Podell, a no-BS New Yorker with a track record of fearless reinvention, this show is where personal growth meets professional development—without the fluff.


Drawing from her own successful pivots—from Emmy and Peabody Award-winning producer to executive leadership, to Fertility Warrior and proud single mom by choice—Carole brings her signature straight-talking warmth and transformational storytelling to help listeners navigate career shifts, relationships, self-discovery, and life’s curveballs. No sugar-coating, just hard-won insights delivered with clarity, humor, and kindness.


Why Listen?

Life transitions are messy, but they don’t have to be lonely. Whether you’re contemplating a midlife career pivot, deepening authentic relationships, or redefining success on your own terms, She Takes The Lead delivers the clarity, confidence, and kick in the ass you need to take action.

Through candid conversations and practical guidance shaped by real-world experience, Carole and her guests tackle the big questions:


💡 How do we turn challenges into opportunities for growth?
💡 What does it mean to create success and work-life balance our way?
💡 When do we trust our intuition to guide transformative change?


With refreshing authenticity and zero fluff, She Takes The Lead is your space for growth, reinvention, and breaking free from outdated rules. Expect empowering insights, tactical steps, and a whole lot of heart—because true transformation begins when we stop waiting for permission and start leading from within.
