A New Podcast
The women inside the room
who changed everything.
Not the founders who left to start something new. The ones who stayed, fought, and transformed their organizations from within. These are their stories.
Nominate a GuestWhy this show exists
There are women inside large corporations who saw what nobody else saw, built what nobody else would build, and changed their industries forever. They did it without the safety net of a startup exit or a venture check. They did it from within.
Led By Her exists to celebrate their courage and tenacity. To tell the stories that leaders at every level should watch and learn from. To honor the unique women who innovate from inside the room, not outside it.
Every episode follows one woman through the full arc of her journey: the moment of clarity, the resistance she faced, and the lasting impact she created. No buzzwords. No corporate platitudes. Just real stories of real leadership.
Who we're looking for
We're looking for women who drove transformative change from inside an organization. Women who saw a problem no one else would touch, built a solution no one else believed in, and created lasting impact without ever leaving the room.
She might be:
- A manager who brought in a new system or software that completely transformed how her team operates — making processes faster, more efficient, and scalable across the organization.
- A VP who rebuilt an entire division from the ground up, turning an underperforming unit into a growth engine.
- A director who launched a product line that changed the company's trajectory — and fought through years of internal resistance to make it happen.
- A leader who championed a culture shift — implementing flexible work policies, or leadership development programs that redefined how the company operates.
- An executive who led a digital transformation, bringing AI, automation, or data-driven decision-making to a company that was stuck in legacy processes.
If this is you, or someone you know, please let us know. We would love to speak with you.

Talia Mashiach
Five-time founder, 30+ years building and leading companies
I love telling the stories of inspiring women. I currently host Inspired to Lead, where I sit down with women building and leading entrepreneurial organizations of their own. Led By Her is the next chapter — because some of the most powerful leadership doesn't happen in a garage or a pitch deck. It happens inside massive organizations, when a woman decides something has to change and simply won't let it go. We built this show to finally tell those stories too.
