  • Beyond Fear: The Courage to Begin Again

    Beyond Fear: The Courage to Begin Again
    2026/08/12

    Big changes rarely happen all at once. And when fear has been making our decisions for a long time, even the first small step can feel enormous. Nancy and Questian bring listeners two conversations from the Theater of Public Speaking “Curtain Call” retreat, recorded by Nancy with women whose stories start in different places and arrive at the same realization. Katie Helle spent seven years staring at the same spreadsheet before burnout finally pushed her to leave a stable CPA role and start her own firm; Mariana Alvarez spent years rebuilding her sense of self after heartbreaking domestic abuse, learning that forgiveness — of the people who hurt her and of herself — couldn't be rushed. Both chose to move forward while still scared, and discovered that you don’t need to see the whole path to begin walking it.

  • Two Sides of Leadership: Building Resilient Firms & Guiding Client Change

    Two Sides of Leadership: Building Resilient Firms & Guiding Client Change
    2026/07/29
    Nancy and Questian compare notes on their two very different sessions from Scaling New Heights that turned out to have more in common than expected, leading to insightful lessons about leadership. Nancy's panel on Vulnerability as a Strength started with a deliberately invasive survey she gives accomplished leaders, designed to surface what they never say out-loud; Questian's session on Change Management with Ashley Rhoden dug into leading clients and teams through change. Talking it through afterwards, they realized both sessions kept circling back to the same two ingredients that impact our ability to lead — self-awareness, and the ability to recognize what someone else is carrying. They close with the question Nancy asked her own audience: who actually knows what you're carrying, and whose load could you help lighten?SponsorsBill - http://bill.com/shecountsRelay - https://relayfi.com/shecountsKarbon - https://karbonhq.com/(00:00) - Welcome to She Counts(01:14) - Conference Lessons Intro(02:03) - Vulnerability Panel Origin(07:43) - Change Management Session(10:07) - Leadership Overlap Themes(12:52) - Vulnerability Panel Framework(16:03) - Lonely at the Top(17:24) - Sharing Failures Honestly(22:39) - Admitting Weakness Safely(24:23) - Word Cloud Breakthrough(27:20) - No Perfect Firm Myth(29:22) - Empathy in the AI Era(30:48) - Vulnerability and Awareness(32:05) - Spotting Change Signals(37:25) - Asking Better Questions(40:33) - Trusted Advisor Mindset(42:11) - Using AI for Prep(44:00) - Handling Change Resistance(50:21) - When Scope Must Shift(53:04) - Pricing Without Guilt(56:28) - Key Takeaways Recap(57:19) - Questions on Vulnerability(59:35) - Closing Quote and WrapResourcesThe OG Vulnerability as a Strength Panel at Bridging the Gap 2024 - https://youtu.be/gY6b5RYSbrw?si=Mz0jyz4uWxRo1J_ZAnna Dynia - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anna-dynia-cpa-483838/Al-Nesha Jones - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alneshajones/Nayo Carter-Gray - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nayocartergray/Hector Garcia - https://www.linkedin.com/in/hectormgarciacpa/Dawn Brolin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawnbrolin/Randy Crabtree - https://www.linkedin.com/in/randy-crabtree-cpa-1945a67/Tony Proctor - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonyproctor/Brittany Brown - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittany-brown-b8324812/Ashley Rhoden - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyrhodenmba/Twyla Verhelst - https://www.linkedin.com/in/twylav/Shirley Koss - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shirleykoss/Liz Farr - https://www.linkedin.com/in/liz-farr-5165244a/Terrell Turner - https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrellturner/Nicole Davis - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoledaviscpa/The Disruptors Podcast - https://cpatrendlines.com/category/the-disruptors/NATP Taxposium - https://taxposium.natptax.com/homeScaling New Heights - https://www.woodard.com/scaling-new-heights-2027-aboutBridging the Gap - https://www.btgconference.com/REFRAME - https://reframeaccounting.com/SPONSORS: [BIll, Relay, Karbon] Join Our LinkedIn Page!https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-counts-podcastSubscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@SheCountsPodcastFollow She Counts on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/shecounts.show/Connect with Nancyhttps://www.thedancingaccountant.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-mcclelland-cpaConnect with Questianhttps://www.reqoncilefinancials.com/

  • LIVE Recording at WAVE-Seattle Conference!

    LIVE Recording at WAVE-Seattle Conference!
    2026/07/15
    Live from Wave Seattle, Nancy and Questian are joined by conference founder Erin Pohan to put the audience's own definitions of success on trial. Nancy explains why she'd rather work in her business than scale it, even after a vendor once told her she was leaving money on the table; Questian describes firing almost every client to become a firm of one built entirely around nonprofit CFO work. It's a room full of women in accounting answering the same question out loud: what definition of success have you personally outgrown?SponsorsBill - http://bill.com/shecountsRelay - https://relayfi.com/shecountsKarbon - https://karbonhq.com/(00:00) - Welcome and Sponsors(01:29) - Live at Wave Seattle(02:58) - Erin Creates Wave(07:51) - Redefining Success(14:16) - Permission to Be You(17:03) - Moments That Felt Seen(20:23) - Mindset Shifts to Take Home(25:16) - Your Personal Board(30:28) - Borrowed Balls Energy(31:35) - Build Your Personal Board(32:44) - Ditch Like Minded Advice(35:33) - Rapid Fire Q And A(35:46) - Leadership Coach Warnings(37:26) - Finding The Right Therapist(40:06) - Firm Too Big Now What(41:41) - Selling Clients Live Poll(42:33) - Impact Through Giving(43:21) - Best Conferences And Networking(47:38) - Hallway Wisdom And Outreach(49:20) - Scholarships And Foundation Plug(50:55) - Closing Quote And FarewellResourcesErin Pohan - https://www.linkedin.com/in/erinpohanNicole Davis - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoledaviscpaLynnette Oss-Connell - https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynnette-oss-connell/Corry Jankowski - https://www.linkedin.com/in/corry-jankowski/Alicia Katz Pollock - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aliciakatzpollockJeanne Hardy - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeannehardy/Jennifer Dymond - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenndymond/Roman Villard - https://www.linkedin.com/in/rdvcpa/Melissa Miller Ferguson - https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissamillerfurgeson/Kim Kelleher - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimkelleher/Brittany Brown - https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittany-brown-b8324812/Hope Brown - https://www.linkedin.com/in/hope-brown-msa-afsp-463a44239/Aneisha Velasquez - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aneisha-v/Madeleine Reeves - https://www.linkedin.com/in/madelinekreeves/Katie Helle - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mkatiehelle/Andrea McDonald - https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-macdonald-cpa-4704042b/Tori McKee - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tori-staub-mckee-b1872427/Sharrin Fuller - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharrinfuller/Nayo Carter-Gray - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nayocartergray/WAVE-Seattle (Women in Accounting & Finance Visionaries and Entrepreneurs) - https://cec4-erin.systeme.io/0cc9baddUpkeeping (Erin Pohan's firm) - https://www.upkeeping.co/Ask a CPA community discount code: ACS30 - https://aska.cpa/Counter community - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/logangraf_in-case-you-didnt-know-i-run-a-community-activity-7475204470356766720-6g4A/Bridging the Gap Conference discount code: BTGloyaltyattendees2026 - https://www.btgconference.com/Accounting Cornerstone Foundation - https://accountingcornerstone.org/Theater of Public Speaking - https://publicspeaking.mistymegia.com/?ref=857055Scaling New Heights - https://www.woodard.com/scaling-new-heights-2027-aboutAdvisory Amplified discount code: Nancy-roadie - https://www.advisoryamplified.com/Jason on Firms - https://www.jasononfirms.com/Unofficial QuickBooks Accountant Podcast - https://uqb.show/SPONSORS: [Bill, Relay, Karbon] Join Our LinkedIn Page!https://www.linkedin.com/company/she-counts-podcastSubscribe on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@SheCountsPodcastFollow She Counts on IGhttps://www.instagram.com/shecounts.show/Connect with Nancyhttps://www.thedancingaccountant.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-mcclelland-cpaConnect with Questianhttps://www.reqoncilefinancials.com/
