  • EP 12 - She Quit Her Job With No Plan—Then Won 2 Emmys | Helene Lerner
    Jun 25 2026

    In this episode of Michelle’s Seat at the Table, I sit down with Helene Lerner — entrepreneur, Emmy Award-winning executive producer, speaker, workplace consultant, author, and founder of the WomenWorking brand.

    Helene and I talk about confidence, courage, and what it truly means to live richly beyond financial success. She shares the remarkable story of leaving a successful corporate career to follow her passion for empowering women, trusting her intuition, and building a nationally recognized multimedia platform dedicated to helping women thrive personally and professionally.

    We also discuss why fearlessness is a myth, the power of taking action with “shaky knees,” and how developing a Prosperity Mindset can help us navigate uncertainty, build resilience, and create lives filled with purpose, meaning, and authentic connection.

    This conversation is for anyone who wants to build confidence, pursue a dream, navigate career transitions, strengthen their mindset, overcome fear, lead with purpose, and create a richer and more fulfilling life.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • The life-changing decision that led Helene to leave her corporate career
    • Building a business and brand that empowers women
    • How WomenWorking.com became a movement for women worldwide
    • Why fearlessness is a myth
    • The power of taking action with “shaky knees”
    • The Prosperity Mindset and living richly beyond money
    • Why women need to think bigger about their dreams and goals
    • What it means to have a seat at the table today

  • Season 2 Trailer
    Jun 18 2026

    Season 2 of Michelle’s Seat at the Table is here.

    This season is all about honest conversations around leadership, growth, community, and the moments that shape us.

    I’m returning with powerful stories and meaningful conversations about what it really means to lead — not just from a title or position, but from the heart.

    Throughout Season 2, my guests and I explore the realities of stepping into new opportunities, finding your voice, showing up authentically, building confidence, creating access for others, and understanding the value you bring to every room you enter.

    From conversations about readiness and authenticity to stories of action, allyship, access, sponsorship, and self-advocacy, this season invites you to reflect on your own leadership journey and the people you bring along with you.

    Because leadership is not just about having a seat.

    It is about making room for others, pulling up a chair, and knowing there is a seat here for you.

    Join me, Michelle Radney, for Season 2 of Michelle’s Seat at the Table.
