What does it really take to move from survival mode to true significance? In this powerful conversation, Leslie Capps sits down with Deb Drummond — founder of the largest International Women’s Day Global Summit, top performance trainer, media pioneer, and champion for women’s empowerment — to talk about purpose-driven entrepreneurship, visibility, and building sustainable impact.

Deb shares how she went from hustling in a world with no internet, no networking groups, and no resources… to creating a global women’s movement with over 796 million media impressions. They dive into top performance strategies, nervous system regulation, legacy leadership, and how women can support each other in entrepreneurship without burning out.

This episode is for women who are ready to stand up, speak up, and show up — in business, in leadership, and in life.

Deb opens up about the difference between survival hustle and aligned all-in energy — and why understanding that difference changes everything. She unpacks the concept of “stretch to significance,” explaining how clarity, infrastructure, and letting go of perfection (yes, even the laundry) are essential to sustainable success.

You’ll hear the origin story behind the International Women’s Day Global Summit — from a bookstore moment at 31 years old to a 262-author anthology and 22 summits in 15 months. Deb reveals how solidarity isn’t a hashtag — it’s something we embody through consistent action and community.

If you’re building a purpose-driven business, craving visibility, or navigating fear in entrepreneurship, this episode will remind you: you are not alone — and you don’t have to do it the old way.

What if your struggles didn’t start with you? In this powerful conversation, Renae Peterson—international speaker, author, and certified spiritual psychology practitioner—shares how women can break generational trauma, rewire limiting beliefs, and reclaim their voice and inner authority.

Through the lens of spiritual psychology, epigenetics, nervous system healing, and identity work, Renae explains how inherited patterns from our mothers and grandmothers shape our subconscious programming—and how we can consciously choose a new path. As a former nurse who worked in palliative care, Renae also shares how witnessing life and death reshaped her understanding of purpose, legacy, and the power of healing family dynamics before it’s too late.

Renae’s mission is twofold: helping women heal so they can become empowered role models, and equipping teen girls with the tools to wire their brains for success from the beginning. Because when empowered women rise, empowered girls follow.

If you’re ready to break generational cycles, step into sovereignty, and remember your wholeness—this episode is for you.

Women supporting women is more than a slogan—it’s a strategy for healing, confidence, and business growth. In this episode of Powerful on Purpose, host Leslie Capps sits down with Barbara E. Ringrose, founder of Women Optimizing Women (WOW) and co-host of the Optimize Her2 podcast, to talk about resilience, community, and building relationships that actually move your life and business forward.

Barbara shares her defining turning point: three days before Christmas in 1993, her husband left—leaving her with three small children, no income, and a future that felt impossible. What followed was grief, survival, rebuilding, and ultimately the support of women (and a women’s shelter) that helped her regain her dignity and create a new life.

Now, Barbara helps professional and small business women uncover confidence, find their people, and create momentum—without falling into negativity or “witch sessions.” You’ll hear why community matters, how to “find your tribe,” and what it really takes to build a positive platform that amplifies women’s voices.

Free Gift / Offer: Barbara is offering a special WOW membership rate through March 1, 2026.
