Why the MLMS?
This *was* a great idea until you brought on MLM founders as serial entrepreneurs š embarrassing that a financial magazine is endorsing these network market companies

Great idea poorly executed
Featuring MLMs and beauty companies wasnāt wise. Also the episode on mastering the side hustle? How about you provide info useful to everyday women. You know, the people listening... no average American can pick up a weekend job that will pay off a $1M home in 6 years so they can keep buying up property as a āside hustleā. patronizing since plenty of poor people have multiple jobs by necessity and arenāt ever going to live the way these wealthy women do.

MLMs are pyramid schemes, not businesses
I really dislike that the podcast brought on Rodan and Fields - itās a multi level marketing company that takes advantage of many people by scamming them into thinking they can make money by being ādownlinesā. Itās really a pyramid scheme, and should not be celebrated.

My favorite podcast to ever exist

Wealthy Women apparently only work in beauty
Why are all the episodes about women who work in the beauty industry?! There are plenty of wealthy women in less gendered industries. Womenāsā aspirations can be much bigger and broader than beauty. Unsubscribing.

Thank you
Sad that this podcast ended. At least I found a new podcast: āLeading Female Insiderā to keep me inspired.

Inspirational and Informative
I donāt usually take to write reviews for anything but I wanted to express my appreciation for this inspirational and motivational podcast about aspirational women that arenāt showcased enough in todayās media (no Kardashians here). I am sadden that there will not be anymore new episodes but grateful for what Iāve learned. This podcast was a great listen on my drives to work as it motivated me to become better financially and personally. Thank you!

Featuring MLMs
I used to really enjoy this show but am so disappointed to see founders of a MLM (pyramid scheme) featured on here.

Fantastic Podcast But...
I love this podcast so much. Some of my favorite episodes include āHow Women of Color Can Own Their Successā and the episode with Moj Mahdara. That said, I do wish more women from humble backgrounds were interviewed. Most had parents who were already successful or invested in their businesses. Sure, they still had their struggles and still worked very hard to be successful but people consider inviting women with little to no support system from the very beginning. Inspiring women like Michelle Mone who grew up very poor and still attained massive success.

Thank You, WSJ!
This podcast has changed my life. When I came back from maternity leave last year, I felt like I was starting all over. I needed tips on how to be a working mom who was SEEN and successful at work and home, and I got them from this podcast. In the past year, my confidence has skyrocketed, Iāve gained motivation and I negotiated for a big raise and promotion, which I got!! Itās been a banner year and I owe so much of it to the inspiring stories and tips Iāve learned here. Thank you thank you!! And keep āem coming.

A podcast about privileged women
I wish the women represented here were more diverse, started from other places, and that the advice wasnāt so privileged. The leader of the NYC Marathon basically said she had kids because she didnāt want to be a lawyer forever. What kind of advice is that?? What about those of us who want both career and kids, but everyone else just says ālean inā? Every interview is about women who already came from wealth and/or had the luxury of many choices. The CFO who took her baby to a meeting because she had no childcare - yeah right. Anyone below the C-suite level would be harshly, perhaps quietly, punished for ānot properly managing her job prioritiesā.
I consider myself very lucky to be middle class and educated, and even I was squirming at the privilege and entitlement these women speak from. Iāve unsubscribed.

Great insights, necessary dialogue
I am an African American, 40-something, female entrepreneur in the Deep South (Alabama). My company specializes in helping employers develop exceptional work environments to slow the down the costly revolving door, deal with the heart of the company, and have better outcomes for its customers.
I first tuned in to the episode on Black women owning a seat at the table. I found the conversation to be inspiring and uplifting. It resonated with me based on my personal experiences and what I see clients seeking to overcome in their workplaces.
Bravo for not forsaking this conversation.

Inspired College Student
I am a senior in college and discovered this podcast as I started my job search. It has helped me so much to hear all of the different career paths these women have had. While there is not one path to success, I hope to embody the strength and perseverance these women all posess. Thank you for creating such an inspiring podcast!

My Mentors in 1 Podcast
Nope, I didn't know most of them until I heard of their talks and the more that they do not know of me but the learning that I get from the sharing that they all impart gave me different ways to look at matters and life at large.
I always look forward to the next episode and when they are not available, I found myself replaying many of them. Interestingly, I realized that after the 2nd or 3rd replay, there are still those moments when I thought, "oh, that is what she actually meant!" when I understood it differently the first few times I listened.
Veronica does a fantastic job at asking the right questions and still being objective about things when the answers may sound personal.
This is my number one podcast and this is my number one source of positivity and inspiration to start the morning or end my day. Thanks, WSJ team and Veronica!

Inspiring and motivational.
I stumbled on this podcast while looking for a podcast that showcased the voices of strong women, while also discussing and debating financial matters. I found all of this and more in this one! I do agree with a previous review, I wish there were a bit more of a conversational style to it rather than ask and answer. But it doesnāt deter me from listening anyway! Highly recommend.

Excellent interview. I loved Deborahās no nonsense demeanor.

Very motivational
Great motivational talks to listen to with ease!! I personally appreciate these not-to-lengthly talks as motivation during those mid-day coffee breaks. One less star only because I hope to see more female role models coming from science backgrounds!!

Great inspiration and actionable ideas
Love hearing from all of those women who have a lot of wisdom to share!

Inspiring and Authentic
I love this podcast particularly because the guests (and host) are authentic and real. Thereās not just one type of narrative shared over and over. Each woman has had a unique path, with unique views. At times, the advice given by one guest, may actually contradict with the advice from the one before. I actually LOVE this because it highlights that there is no one super secret path to success. I have already recommended it to all my friends!

So relatable and so good!
I love everything about this podcast. I love how the women keep it so honest and are gritty in sharing. No matter where you are in your journey their stories are so relatable.

Listen Up!
I really enjoy this podcast. The guests are interesting and their backgrounds are varied. It allows me to hear different perspectives of successful women. Veronicaās style and tone of questioning makes it feel more like honest journalism vsā that the question is being asked with a slant or agenda. Thanks to all involved in creating this Podcast !

Disgusted that you gave former Planned Parenthood CEO a platform
I have been a loyal listener of this podcast until today when I saw that Ms. Dagher interviewed former Planned Parenthood CEO, Gloria Feldt, a few weeks ago. I have no interest in knowing the financial secrets and thoughts of a monstrous woman whose life has been funded by babies being murdered and who has run the most abhorrent company in the world. You should be ashamed of yourself for giving her a platform here.

Great content
Substantial content impacting financially savvy women who want inspiration and also to hear on relevant news and issues that impact them. The podcasts are not super short or long but just right. Important issues and Iām glad the WSJ has dedicated a podcast to women who want a fulfilling career and to be financially independent.

This is very good to listen too because you can learn about many different things. It is also very interesting.

Great guests - supremely boring host
Great guests but the host asks questions like sheās reading off of a middle school homework assignment. Her questions are boring voice sounds like sheās bored too.

Great podcast
I love this podcast for many reasons. Particularly, I enjoy the array of women who are interviewed across different industries.

Great guests and info
I really like the guests and the concepts and topics discussed. I donāt always love the o review style. It feels a little awkward and that sheās just asking questions versus engaging with the guests. Could be a bit more collaborative to make the shows even better.

Susan Packard Review
Loved her authenticity and how she grew in self-awareness. The advice for women who are breadwinners because that's often a tough one to navigate. But she talks about compromise and how it worked for her. Too many leaders on a power trip and how that affects employees.

Best free investment - HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I found this podcast because of the Mary Higgins Clark episode and Iāve been hooked ever since. The advice is so practical and applicable to anyone! Since I downloaded this podcast, Iāve started checking my 401K actively, opened up a savings account and currently exploring life insurance as well as disability insurance. In addition, they have done such great work interviewing women of color. The micro aggressions shared by the panelists were so relatable. The advice you get on this podcast is worth millions!

Enjoyable Content; Change Background Music
Really appreciate the podcast! But, the background music makes it feel more like a dramatic/thriller podcast and less of an uplifting/inspiring podcast (please change it).

Interview real female entrepreneurs
Most of the podcasts Iāve listened to here are not real entrepreneurs. Instead of putting down women youāve interviewed Iād rather suggest you seek out real female entrepreneurs who started their successful businesses from an idea and nothing else. This has just been a waste of time.

Absolutely enthralling!
Itās so refreshing to get a womenās perspective on the challenges in finance management that resonates significantly with us! Love the show and the host queries are spot on!

Theme song
Love the show but the theme song kind of makes me nuts. Maybe switch it up or donāt play it every five minutes.
