Women Who Rise: The Success Podcast for Ambitious Women

What if rising higher in your career and life doesn't require pushing harder, but taking better care of the person doing the rising? In this powerful conversation, Margot Tache reframes wellness as a foundation for leadership, performance, relationships, and longevity, sharing how her own health journey taught her to listen to her body instead of treating it as an afterthought. From food and stress to sleep, movement, alcohol, and the pressure to constantly perform, she challenges the belief that exhaustion is a badge of success and reminds us that our bodies are constantly communicating with us. This episode is an invitation to slow down, become more intentional, protect your energy, and build success from a place of health rather than depletion.

What happens when you stop waiting for a seat at someone else's table and decide to build one of your own? Cameron Cisneros shares a deeply personal journey from military service and early adversity to becoming a powerful voice for belonging, leadership, wealth, and community while confronting the emotional cost of achieving success before fully healing. Her story reveals that belonging isn't merely a feel-good concept; when intentionally built, it can become a catalyst for relationships, economic opportunity, leadership development, and lasting impact. This conversation is a powerful invitation to stop shrinking for rooms that were never designed for you, lead before you feel completely ready, and create spaces where more people can rise with you.
