Conversations that are all about change powered by women—how we do it, why we do it, what it's like, and what happens as a result. Hosted by Lael Couper Jepson of SheChanges, this is the place where we explore the messy, unfinished business that lives in our heads—and is fueled by our hearts. We keep it real, refuse to boil it down, and serve it up as it is—unscripted, unedited, and unapologetic. We believe you can handle us.
Lael Couper Jepson is the founder of SheChanges, a strategic outpost for senior leaders and business owners, and is also the author of two books: Unscripted, A Women's Living Prayer, and Ignite: Lighting the Leader Fire. Learn more about Lael at www.SheChanges.com
How do you get yourself unstuck? How can you move yourself forward when you can't see where you're going? How do you make a change when you don't know what you're doing? These are the themes Lael Couper Jepson explores with her SheChanges community in this episode. Listen in as she shares her email she sent to her community on September 16, 2022—and then riffs on how what she's learned and experienced since about how the themes from that email are even more relevant today.

S6E9 On Boundaries + Intimacy
Have you ever questioned the stories you've been told about yourself—to understand how that story came to be or if it's true? Why do so many of us women stay in relationships that don't serve us or make us feel safe? What would it look like to disappoint another in order to be true to ourselves? These are the themes Lael Couper Jepson explores with her SheChanges community in this episode. Listen in as she shares her email she sent to her community on September 19, 2025—and then riffs on how what she's learned and experienced since about how the themes from that email are even more relevant today.

S6E8 On Making without Knowing
How do you know making something, investing in a dream or taking a leap of faith will be worth it? How do you hold the faith when you're scared, full of doubt, and feeling like you're crazy? What does it look like to honor your instincts instead of listen to your fears? These are the themes Lael Couper Jepson explores with her SheChanges community in this episode. Listen in as she shares her email she sent to her community on June 26, 2026—and then riffs on how what she's learned and experienced since about how the themes from that email are even more relevant today.
