The Hell Yes Way to Lead Where You Are FT. Susan Asiyanbi

.You don't need a corner office or a fancy title to be a leader. You just need to decide how you're going to show up. This week on The Hell Yes Podcast, we're joined by Susan Asiyanbi, founder of The Olori Network, for a real conversation about what leadership actually looks like in everyday life. Whether you're running a company, raising a family, teaching a classroom, serving on a board, or simply trying to lead yourself through a busy season, Susan reminds us that every single day hands us chances to influence, build trust, and help the people around us move forward. We talk about leading with intention, owning your impact right where you are, and why the most powerful leadership often happens without anyone giving you permission. If you've ever wondered whether you're "really" a leader, this one's for you. Press play, grab a friend who needs to hear it, and say hell yes to leading your way.

The Hell Yes Way to Have Her Back Featuring Rachel Saunders, Founding Partner of Saturday Legal

What does it really mean to have another woman’s back? In this episode of The Hell Yes Podcast, Melissa and Sherina sit down with their friend Rachel Saunders, Founding Partner of Saturday Legal, for a real conversation about what women supporting women actually looks like beyond the slogan. Because having her back is more than cheering her on. It’s advocating for her when she’s not in the room. Sharing the opportunity. Making the introduction. Opening your network. Showing up when life gets messy. And sometimes, it’s loving her enough to tell her the truth she may not want to hear. Rachel joins the conversation as an accomplished attorney and entrepreneur, but also as the kind of friend we all need in our corner: a trusted counselor, connector, truth-teller and advocate. Together, they get into why asking for help can be so hard, especially for accomplished women, how one introduction can change someone’s trajectory, the difference between being a cheerleader and truly being in someone’s corner, and how to celebrate another woman’s success without comparison. This is a conversation about friendship, sisterhood, accountability and what it means to genuinely show up for the women in your life. So we’re asking: Do you really have her back? If this episode makes you think of a woman who has shown up for you, send it to her. And don’t forget to follow The Hell Yes Podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and subscribe on YouTube for new episodes. Hell Yes to women who ask, connect, advocate, tell the truth and show up.

Hell YES to your next chapter

New season, new chapter and we're diving in headfirst. In this Season 2 premiere, we're talking about what it really means to say Hell Yes to what's next. Not the polished, Instagram-caption version of "new beginnings," but the real one the one where your hands are shaking a little and you say yes anyway. We're getting into the fear that shows up right before a big transition (and why it doesn't mean you're on the wrong path), the messy in-between moments nobody warns you about, and the hard-won lessons that only life itself can teach. Whether you're starting over, leveling up, or just standing at the edge of something new and unknown this episode is your permission slip to embrace it all. Because the next chapter doesn't wait for you to feel ready. It just asks you to say Hell Yes. Tune in, get inspired, and let's kick off Season 2 the only way we know how fully, fearlessly, and all in.

The Hell Yes Way to Network

Networking isn’t about collecting contacts — it’s about building real relationships. In this episode of Hell Yes, Sherina and Melissa share an honest and empowering conversation about how meaningful connections shape both personal and professional growth. Drawing from their own experiences, they explore how asking for help, seeking mentorship, and embracing community can open doors in unexpected ways.

A Hell Yes to the In-Between
