At 17, Melody Wilder lost her father with $600 in the family bank account. She got married to double her income, raised three kids, survived divorce, earned a master’s degree while working at the college, and conquered a paralyzing fear of public speaking — all before building a financial literacy practice that teaches women how to pay off 30-year mortgages in three years, find their profit leaks, and stop waiting until 65 to start living. Meet Melody Wilder, certified Financial Education Instructor, author, and one of She Talks’ 10 Women to Watch in 2026. In this episode of the She CEO Podcast, Dr. Julie Ducharme and Melody talk money mindset, retirement (she calls it ”desire”), siloed advice, upcoming retreats, and why the best advice she ever got was simply: do it scared.
At 19, Avery wrote a book in two weeks, published it in under a month, and has since helped over ten authors do the same — while also training for the Berlin World Marathon. In this episode of the She CEO Podcast, Dr. Julie Ducharme and Avery talk about the three places people get stuck turning big goals into reality, why rejection is just part of the process, how the publishing world has changed for independent authors, and why the first step doesn’t have to be big — it just has to get you moving. If you’ve been sitting on a book, a business, or a dream, this one is your sign.
Nothing worked — not EMDR, not CBT, not medication. Then at 25, Atira Shoffner tried hypnosis on a whim, had five sessions, and felt like a completely different person. Now she’s a certified hypnotherapist who has helped over 150 clients break free from limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, emotional backlog, and the subconscious survival programming that keeps smart, capable women playing small. In this episode of the She CEO Podcast, Dr. Julie Ducharme and Atira bust the biggest hypnotherapy myths, dig into why beliefs — not circumstances — create your emotional reality, and make a powerful case for finally feeling your feelings. If you’ve ever stayed too long, played too small, or wondered why success still doesn’t feel like enough — this one is for you.
