Completing the Circle: The Final Powered by Her Episode with Cigi England

Thu, 25 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0600

Seven years. Hundreds of conversations. Countless moments where a listener heard a story and thought, “I’m not alone… and I can do this.”

In this final episode of Powered by Her, Tiffany Anton sits down with Cigi England, the guest who has been there from the beginning to the end. Together they reflect on what this show has meant, how much life has changed since the early days, and what it looks like to keep showing up when business feels heavy and life is demanding more than you think you can give.

Cigi shares honestly about the pressure of carrying it all, the seasons that pushed her into survival mode, and the coping tools that helped her keep moving forward. Tiffany opens up about the growth she’s experienced as a leader, a connector, and a woman learning to stay true to her lane while building a community that’s bigger than any one person.

The podcast may be ending, but Powered by Her isn’t. The community continues, the lunches continue, and the impact keeps rippling out.

Merry Christmas, thank you for listening, and here’s to a strong, hopeful 2026.

Magic Hands, Big Miles: Alex Harned on Building a Life That Fits

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 22:05:12 -0600

Licensed massage therapist Alex Harned joins Tiffany Anton for a conversation that feels like equal parts business story, life philosophy, and holiday-week humor. From building a client-based practice in Cookeville after years of commuting from Nashville, to choosing relationship-driven work over “massage factory” models, Alex shares what it looks like to curate a career with freedom, boundaries, and real joy.

They talk entrepreneurship without the buzzwords, why community matters (and why Powered by Her played a role in Alex getting established locally), and what it means to work smart as your body starts giving you honest feedback. Along the way: travel stories, hustle-culture reflections, stress and health, a little faith, and the mystery of “two and a half cats.”

Three Women, One Community: Beauty, Business, storytelling, and the Power of a Girl Gang

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0600

In this special episode of Powered By Her, Tiffany brings together three dynamic women who are shaping the look, feel, and story of the Upper Cumberland: Jamhile, professional makeup artist; Emily Bochette, celebrity stylist and owner of Poppy & Pearl; and Chelsea Dartez, the creative voice behind Upper Cumberland Lifestyles Magazine.

What unfolds is a warm, candid conversation about building businesses, raising families, and surrounding yourself with a “girl gang” that truly gets it. The three share how motherhood shapes their work, how they balance the demands of creativity and business ownership, and why having supportive women in your corner can change everything.

From Jamhile’s heart for helping women feel beautiful and confident, to Emily’s leap into salon ownership, to Chelsea’s mission to tell meaningful stories across the region, each woman brings a different strength—and together they paint a picture of what female community looks like in real life.

It’s grounded, funny, honest, and full of reminders that none of us are meant to do life or business alone.

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 05:00:00 -0600

In this episode of Powered By Her, Tiffany Anton sits down with Emily Bochette, a stylist who turned her years behind the chair into a bold new business in the heart of Cookeville.

You’ll hear about the hurdles she faced stepping into ownership, why she chose a historic downtown building for Poppy & Pearl, and how she uses her platform to create more than just hair—she creates a space where women feel great, ready and empowered. If you’ve ever thought of starting something of your own, this conversation will give you courage, clarity and the kind of inspiration only someone who’s walked the path can deliver.

Thanksgiving with the Anton Girls: Family, Gratitude, and a Whole Lot of Laughs

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 05:00:00 -0600

For the third year in a row, Tiffany brings her favorite guests into the studio: her daughters, Mia and Lillian. It is a Thanksgiving tradition that is equal parts heartfelt and hilarious as the three share what they are thankful for this year — family, faith, friendship, sports, work, a comfy bed, and yes, even Blue Betty the Bronco.

The girls talk openly about growing up, finding confidence, learning life lessons through church and sports, having a job at fifteen, and finally admitting that Mom might actually know what she is doing. And of course, there is plenty of teasing, inside jokes, and one very important shout-out to “Daddy Daryl,” the newest member of the family who keeps everyone grounded and laughing.

Whether you are cooking, traveling, or just settling in with family today, this Thanksgiving episode is a reminder to slow down, appreciate the small things, and enjoy time with the people who know you best. Happy Thanksgiving from the Anton girls.

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 03:27:00 -0600

This week, Tiffany sits down with professional makeup artist Jamhile, a wife, mother, and entrepreneur who has spent nearly a decade helping women look and feel their absolute best. What began as a simple desire to bring out someone’s natural glow has grown into a thriving beauty business built on intention, trust, and genuine care.

Jamhile shares how she carved her own path in the beauty industry, why elevating someone’s natural features is at the heart of her work, and how she balances artistry with motherhood and business ownership. She talks about the power of feeling comfortable in your own skin, the joy of working with brides and women on their biggest days, and what it means to her when clients leave not just looking beautiful, but feeling seen.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build a business around confidence, connection, and creativity, this episode will leave you inspired and ready to show up as the most elevated version of yourself.

From Fear of the Unknown to Fractional CFO: Seaira Ford’s Next Phase

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 05:00:00 -0600

When Seaira Ford walked away from her full-time job on a random Thursday - with no clients lined up and a fresh cocktail of terror and relief - she finally did the thing she’d been circling for years: she started her own business. In this episode, Sierra shares how a lifetime of “working for the man,” helping everyone else launch their ideas, and quietly shouldering other people’s numbers finally pushed her into launching Next Phase Solutions & Support.

We talk about why bookkeeping is the non-negotiable foundation of any healthy business, what it actually looks like to have a fractional CFO in your corner, and how knowing your numbers is the difference between “I guess we’re in the black” and “I know exactly why this is working.” Seaira opens up about fear, comfort, and that pivotal moment when the unknown felt less scary than staying stuck. She also shares how Powered by Her lunches and podcast episodes helped her find her people, her confidence, and the courage to bet on her own skill set. If you’ve ever said, “I could never do this on my own,” this one will hit close to home - in the best way.

From Device to Voice: Shehla Rooney on Building GoKnee—and a Smarter Way to Grow

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 05:00:00 -0600

Shehla Rooney returns with a raspy voice and crystal clear wisdom. She shares how GoKnee, the portable knee-rehab device she co-invented, led to an unexpected second engine: a free monthly knee-health newsletter now read in all 50 states and 55 countries. We dig into turning “easy” work into ethical revenue (including why she turned down a sponsor), cash-flowing a product company without losing your soul, and redefining success from dollars to impact. Shehla gets real about filtering mentors, trusting your gut, balancing B2B dreams with DTC realities, and choosing family over relentless hustle. Plus: why “experience shares” beat generic advice, how founders can stop moving the goalposts on themselves, and what’s next for GoKnee as the brand - and Shehla’s voice—continue to grow.

200 Episodes of “Us”: Community, Courage & What Comes Next

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 05:00:00 -0500

Tiffany marks a huge milestone—200 episodes!—with a heartfelt solo reflection on how Powered by Her grew from a local interview idea into a true community and movement. She traces the journey from early radio days and video seasons to today’s weekly rhythm, and shares the moments that changed her: CG England’s early episode and evolution, Emily Blackman’s community-first salon, Ashley Swan’s “Food to the Rescue” and the power of telling the founder’s story, Kim Thorpe’s redefinition of success in a saturated market, Sabrina Brazel’s “build your empire as a single mom,” and Booth Andrews’ life-giving wisdom on burnout.

Tiffany opens up about Kenya—how a listening trip became Power By Her Kenya, now three cohorts strong, with young people launching businesses, saving, and lifting families. She talks candidly about stalled drafts, why this 200th felt tricky, and the north star that keeps her going: connection, community, and inspiration that’s actually useful for busy women.

If you’ve ever listened, spoken at a lunch, shared an episode, or told your story—you’ve shaped this show. Tiffany invites you to steer the next 100: tell her what’s valuable, bring a friend, and (if you’re able) become a monthly donor to fuel the Kenya work and local programming at PoweredByHerCommunity.com.

Here’s to 200—and to making the next chapter ours.

Connor Giddens, IBCLC behind Foxhole Lactation (rebranded in 2023 from Southern Lactation Services), supports families prenatally and postpartum with individualized feeding plans—breastfeeding, bottle, combo, or formula—guided by low-pressure consultations and client goals. Together they talk boundaries, pricing their value, educating the public on what their services actually do, and the family “village” that makes entrepreneurship possible. It’s a practical conversation about designing services around people’s real needs—and giving clients permission to choose what works for them.

They swap practical strategies on boundaries, honest marketing (without oversharing), and finding mentors as your challenges evolve. Plus, a “Boss Babe Brags” segment shouting out local women moving the needle, and quick “Get a Girl” wins—including new product teasers and big plans ahead. A candid, energizing conversation for founders and creatives who want community as much as results.

Survival mode vs Strategic mode with Sindy Hankins

Thu, 25 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Hey there, lady bosses! In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s all too familiar for many of us: survival mode vs. strategic mode in business.

Picture this: You’re juggling a dozen tasks, putting out fires left and right, and just trying to keep your head above water. That, my friends, is survival mode. It’s that reactive state where you’re constantly in crisis management mode, and it can be exhausting.

But what if I told you there’s another way? Enter strategic mode. This is where you’re proactive, thinking ahead, and making intentional decisions for your business. It’s about stepping back, looking at the big picture, and charting a course for success.

So how do you make the shift from survival to strategic mode? It starts with mindset. Instead of reacting to every challenge that comes your way, start thinking like a chess player, anticipating your next move and thinking several steps ahead.

Next, prioritize ruthlessly. Focus on the tasks and projects that will move the needle for your business, and delegate or eliminate the rest. This is about working smarter, not harder.

And finally, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Whether it’s hiring a coach, joining a mastermind, or outsourcing tasks, building a support network can make all the difference.

So, which mode are you operating in? If you’re stuck in survival mode, it’s time to make the shift to strategic mode. Your business—and your sanity—will thank you for it.

Plenty of Enneagrams with Ashley Michael

Thu, 11 Apr 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Hey ladies, welcome back to our podcast! Today, we're diving into a fascinating topic: how your Enneagram personality type can impact your business.

If you're not familiar, the Enneagram is a personality typing system that describes nine interconnected personality types. Each type has its own set of motivations, fears, and behaviors that can greatly influence how we approach our work and business ventures.

For example, Type Ones, known as "The Perfectionists," are driven by a desire to do things right and improve the world around them. In business, they might excel at creating high-quality products or services but might struggle with delegating tasks due to their high standards.

On the other hand, Type Threes, "The Achievers," are goal-oriented and driven by success. They can be great at networking and promoting their business but may need to be mindful of burnout due to their relentless pursuit of success.

Understanding your Enneagram type can give you valuable insights into your strengths and weaknesses as a business owner. It can help you identify areas where you excel and areas where you might need to seek support or make adjustments.

Additionally, knowing the Enneagram types of your team members or business partners can improve communication and collaboration. By understanding their motivations and communication styles, you can build a more cohesive and effective team.

So, whether you're a Type Two looking to balance your nurturing tendencies with self-care or a Type Five seeking to share your knowledge without withdrawing, the Enneagram can be a powerful tool for personal and professional growth in your business journey.

Thanks for tuning in, and remember, understanding yourself is the first step to building a successful business. See you next time!

He Said What? with Dr. Helen Hunt

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Hey there, ladies in business! Today's episode is all about a topic that unfortunately many of us have faced: dealing with misogynistic comments at work. Dr. Helen Hunt, Director of the Women's Center at Tennessee Tech leads our conversation based on years of research!

First off, let's acknowledge how frustrating and hurtful it can be to hear these kinds of remarks. Whether it's a subtle jab or an outright offensive comment, it's never easy to brush off. But remember, you are not alone in this experience.

One key strategy is to respond with confidence and assertiveness. Don't let these comments slide. Politely but firmly address the person making the comment. You can say something like, "I don't appreciate that comment. Let's keep our conversation professional."

Finding support is also crucial. Talk to a trusted colleague, mentor, or friend about what happened. Their perspective and advice can be invaluable in navigating these situations.

Lastly, remember to take care of yourself. Dealing with these comments can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being. Practice self-care and don't hesitate to seek professional support if you need it.

By addressing misogynistic comments head-on and seeking support, you can help create a more respectful and inclusive workplace for yourself and others. You are not alone. Stay strong, and remember, you've got this!

Good Cop, Bad Cop with Privy Clear

Thu, 14 Mar 2024 05:00:00 -0500

Today's podcast episode discussed the dynamic of having business partners who play the roles of "good cop" and "bad cop." This setup can be incredibly effective in managing a business, especially when dealing with tough decisions or negotiations.

The "good cop" partner is often the empathetic, relationship-focused one. They excel at building rapport with clients, employees, and stakeholders. They're great at keeping morale high and ensuring everyone feels valued and heard.

On the other hand, the "bad cop" partner is more assertive and decisive. They're willing to make the tough calls and push for results, even if it means taking a more confrontational approach. They're often the ones who negotiate contracts, handle difficult conversations, and make sure deadlines are met.

Together, these two roles create a balanced leadership dynamic. The "good cop" maintains positive relationships, while the "bad cop" ensures that the business stays on track and achieves its goals.

It's important for both partners to recognize and appreciate each other's strengths. By leveraging their complementary skills, they can create a strong and effective leadership team that drives the business forward.

Imposter Syndrome & Shehla Rooney

Thu, 08 Feb 2024 05:00:00 -0600

Hey there, fellow boss ladies! Today, we're diving into a topic that might sound fancy but is actually something many of us deal with – imposter syndrome. Picture this: You're rocking it at work, but that little voice in your head whispers, "You don't belong here." Well, that's imposter syndrome!

So, what exactly is it? Imagine feeling like a fraud, thinking you're not as good as people think you are. Yep, that's imposter syndrome in a nutshell. But here's the thing – you're not alone! Many successful women, even the ones you admire, have felt this way too.

Now, let's talk about how to tackle it. First off, recognize that those negative thoughts are just that – thoughts. They're not facts! Remind yourself of your achievements and how far you've come. Take a deep breath and give yourself credit where it's due.

Next up, embrace the learning mindset. Nobody knows everything, and that's okay! Every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Instead of focusing on what you don't know, focus on what you can learn.

Oh, and don't be afraid to ask for help! Seriously, reaching out to mentors, friends, or colleagues can be a game-changer. Remember, it's not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength!

Lastly, cut yourself some slack. You're doing amazing, sweetie! It's okay to make mistakes – that's how we learn and grow. So, celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem.

And there you have it, ladies! Imposter syndrome might try to sneak its way in, but with a little self-love and support, you can kick it to the curb. Keep slaying in your business ventures – the world is your oyster!
