In a world where success is often measured by the hustle, these powerhouse women are redefining what it means to be healthy, wealthy, and fulfilled—on their own terms. From embracing career pauses to prioritizing rest and rewriting outdated business narratives, they’re proving that balance isn’t about doing it all at once but about making intentional choices. And the numbers back it up: companies with strong well-being initiatives see a higher level of employee engagement. Whether it’s financial freedom through real estate, aligning work with hormonal cycles, or advocating for compassionate workplace policies, these leaders are paving the way for a more sustainable and empowered future.

Chantell Preston
Founder and CEO of Preston Partners; Host of Get Real, Get Results

Chantell Preston is the founder and CEO of PrestonPartners. A growth strategist, keynote speaker, and leadership advocate, she believes you don’t have to be perfect to be powerful. She says in today’s fast-paced world if you want to boost your mental health you have to reframe the lies you’ve been told in business. “As women, we’re often told you can have it all; you have to say yes to everything; and that you can’t show your emotions. I think that’s an old narrative. You can in fact have it all, just not at the same time. You are allowed to say no to things and in a world of AI, you have to remember that you’re a human being who is entitled to their feelings and has permission to show them.” Preston adds, “when it comes to boosting your wealth, you need to tailor your financial plans to meet your individual needs and understand your investment philosophy before making any major money moves.”

Erika Sinner is the founder and CEO of Directorie, a $12-million healthcare consulting agency. As the Chief Empathy Officer of Tiny Superheroes, she helps critically ill children feel like they have superpowers. She’s also spearheading a movement to push for pet bereavement leave in the workplace. As a busy founder and author, her number one tip to boost your health is prioritizing sleep and understanding when your body needs to recover. “Rest isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. As an entrepreneur, I’ve learned that pushing through exhaustion leads to burnout, while listening to my body and allowing it to recover makes me sharper, more focused, and ultimately, more effective in everything I do.” When it comes to boosting your wealth, she says offering compassionate workplace policies—and using them when you need to—protects your peace and strengthens your bottom line. “When my dog, Kingston, died, I took advantage of the very policy I created to give myself the space I needed to grieve. It’s important to take the time you need, even when you’re the boss. It’s good for you as a human being, and it’s good for business.”

Neha Ruch is the founder of Mother Untitled, the leading platform for ambitious women leaning into family life, and author of the bestselling book, The Power Pause. A thought leader, influencer, and sought-after speaker focusing on women, work, parenting and identity, Ruch’s work is catalyzing a shift in how society views stay-at-home motherhood. To boost your health, Ruch says it’s important to embrace where you are. “Regardless of whether you’re working full-time, are a stay-at-home parent or are somewhere in the vast gray area in between, no one should feel less than for making a decision that is the best for themselves or their family. It’s time to rebrand stay-at-home motherhood for today’s modern families.” To boost your wealth, she offers this advice, “Stay (or become) an active participant in your family’s finances, and maintain your role as a key co-contributor to your household’s organization, whether your contribution is paid or unpaid. For both partners to feel financially dignified and respected, it’s essential to plan together for any shifts in income and to align on how these decisions benefit the household as a whole.”

Danna Pratte
Founder, CEO NBPure

Danna Pratte founded leading wellness supplement company NBPure 25+ years ago with their blockbuster digestive cleanse, MagO7. She says if you want to improve your health, pay attention to your gut. “At the time, I was experiencing digestive issues that affected so much of my life,” says Pratte. “But when I took MagO7, my gut felt better, and I felt energized.” Pratte then set out to create a line of natural, purity-tested supplements to help people fix their digestive issues and have better health. She says the gut not only impacts mental health, but one’s wealth as well. “What’s interesting is the gut-brain connection. If the gut is out of balance, it can affect mental health, including our ‘gut instinct’. It’s this intuitive decision making that’s critical to so much of what we do—including how we earn a living and the decisions we make to be financially successful.”

Alyx Coble-Frakes
Founder & CEO, The Agenda

Alyx Coble-Frakes, a dedicated social entrepreneur, is transforming the way women approach their health and productivity through The Agenda., a platform designed to help women harness the power of their hormonal cycles. After her own health struggles post-Peace Corps, Alyx recognized how disconnected many women feel from their bodies. “My advice to women looking to optimize their health is to track their cycle—your hormones influence everything from your energy to your ability to focus.” Beyond well-being, she emphasizes the financial impact of cycle awareness: “When you align your work with your hormonal strengths, you avoid burnout and increase efficiency—your cycle isn’t a liability, it’s an asset.” By understanding these natural rhythms, women can make more strategic decisions, leading to greater health, wealth, and success.

Margaret Wright and Steph Karlstadt
Founder (Wright) & COO (Karlstadt) of FlipChicks and FlipChicks Wealth Academy

Margaret Wright is the founder of FlipChicks and Flipchicks Wealth Academy, a training and coaching company focused on guiding women to successfully invest in real estate.  She is also the author of “Own It: A Girl’s Guide to Building Wealth.” Steph Karlstad, her partner in Flipchicks, recently left her corporate job after three decades to turn her midlife into millions and become a full-time real estate investor. Together, they educate and inspire women to achieve financial freedom by generating passive income from real estate. Karlstad shares, “My best health advice: pay attention to rest and nutrition. Ignoring when you’re depleted only makes things worse.” Wright’s advice to women who want to boost their wealth during a season of change—whether due to the loss of a loved one, a career change, divorce, or becoming an empty nester—is simple: “Don’t wait another day to move in the direction you want to go, and every day make progress toward that goal, no matter how small the steps are.”

Stephanie Jackson
Co-Owner of Kwik Lok Corporation

Stephanie Jackson is a co-owner of her family business Kwik Lok Corporation. Along with her sisters, she values leading with intention and purpose. She does the same when tackling her health and wealth goals. Jackson says, it’s about identifying the first “domino” that sets everything in motion. “For health, it could be stocking your home with only healthy food or teaming up with an accountability partner. For wealth, start by reviewing your spending to spot and cut unnecessary expenses. Finding the first ‘one thing’ to get me going on my goals has been a game changer for me.”

Joan Edwards
Owner of Create Gallery and Frames

Joan Edwards, owner of Create Gallery and Frames, has built a space where artistic excellence and quality craftsmanship come together to inspire connection and celebrate creativity within the community. Edwards says if you want to boost your health, visit an art museum or local gallery and try to connect with the story behind each painting. Seek to find the beauty in each work of art. “Art has the power to heal and is essential to everyone, no matter their age.” She says if you want to boost your wealth, consider the appreciation in value, and diversification of investments when buying art.

Vidushi Tekriwal
Founder of True Wealth Bridge

Vidushi Tekriwal is the founder of True Wealth Bridge, where she helps people make confident, values-driven financial decisions. She believes that the key to both health and wealth is prioritizing what truly matters. “Big changes happen through small, consistent actions,” she says. To boost your health, she recommends identifying one or two habits—like meal prepping or a 15-minute morning workout—and making them non-negotiable. “When you treat self-care like an important meeting, you actually follow through,” she adds. For wealth, she suggests setting up automated systems for saving and investing. “The less effort it takes, the more likely you are to stick with it; and, you’ll free up energy for the things that bring you joy—helping you build not just wealth, but a life that feels rich in every way.”
