Her Creative Empire

Her Creative Empire

Her Creative Empire is a voice note for the women who never quite fit in — curious, creative, emotional, ambitious, and allergic to surface-level anything. Hosted by Leah Clancy, a photographer turned business coach and creative founder, this podcast is where art, business, identity, and soul collide. Each week, Leah shares real, unfiltered solo episodes and interviews with women who’ve built thriving creative businesses — often after a massive life pivot in midlife. From painters and designers to retreat hosts and influencers, these are the stories of women who took the leap, bet on themselves, and did the wild thing, even when it was terrifying. If you’ve ever felt too much, too intense, or too layered for the world around you… welcome home.

In this solo episode, I’m talking about grit—the unglamorous, sweaty, get-back-up-again kind. The kind that shows up when your house burns down. (Yep, that happened.) The kind that keeps you going when your catalog business tanks spectacularly. (Also me.) And the kind that lets you smile through a massively awkward, under-attended ballroom event where you hired a band, belly dancers, and booked a venue the size of a C...

She’s known for helping women feel confident in their skin through makeup that actually works for aging faces — but her story is about so much more than eyeliner.

We talk about:

  • The moment she decided to quit her job and go al...

In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my story — the whole messy, magical, not-always-pretty truth about how I went from single mom in survival mode to professional photographer with a thriving business.

You’ll hear about the freedom of my wild childhood, the influence of a fearless mother, and the power of curiosity and reinvention. I’ll take you through the leap I made when I left my marriage, the scr...

Angie turned her passion into a career that lets her travel the world, host transformational retreats in places like Bali, Morocco, Croatia, and Italy, and live life on her own terms.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

In this very first episode of Her Creative Empire, Leah shares the spark that inspired the podcast—an honest reflection on female friendship, ambition, motherhood, and the quiet longing for deeper connection.

She opens up about always feeling like she didn’t quite fit in traditional circles, and how one brutally honest character from White Lotus helped her realize she wasn’t “too much”—she was just in the wro...
