Podcast Description
The Built From the Ground Up Show is the go-to podcast for female founders and visionaries who are boldly redefining success on their own terms. It’s for the women who are changing lives, challenging the status quo, and doing it all while staying unapologetically themselves.
Twice a week, Host, Gwen Tinsley, and her inspirational guests go beyond the polished success stories to share the real, raw, and unfiltered journeys of women in business – the messy middle, the mindset battles, the breakthroughs, and the moments no one sees on social media. Because perfection is overrated – and impact is what truly matters.
Hosted with heart and grit, Built From the Ground Up features authentic, service-based women entrepreneurs who are championing others, embracing imperfections, and doing business their way. Expect candid conversations, actionable insights, and the kind of community that reminds you: you’re not alone in this wild ride of entrepreneurship and someone else's dream is attached to you showing up!
So, if you’re ready to ditch the highlight reel and connect with fellow female entrepreneurs, then you’re in the right place! Hit play, and we’ll see you every Tuesday and Thursday!

The Reigning Queen Podcast is for the women who are sick of chasing clients, tired of inconsistent revenue and are ready to finally step into the kind of power that makes money, opportunities and respect flow to them. It’s for the women who want to figure things out so they don’t ever have to go to work for someone else again, for the Women who crave influence not for ego but to change industries, families and leave legacies.
A Reigning Queen knows her worth and doesn’t chase, beg or apologize. She commands respect, closes clients with confidence and builds a business that gives her freedom and influence so she’s never throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping something sticks. Her clients say yes with ease—because they’re all in. No chasing in the DMs. No endless back and forth.
That means her energy is fully focused on the impact she’s here to create, not wasted on trying to “figure out sales.”
She’s the woman who picks up the spa tab on girls’ weekends.
She demands the best from everyone around her.
She’s admired. Influential. Unapologetic.
She moves with grace and takes sh*t from no one.
This podcast is about celebrating her—and inviting others in to join this Reign Revolution; a movement of women who refuse to play small in business and life.
Welcome to the Reign Revolution, Girlfriend.
As we step into 2026, Gwen pulls back the curtain on the powerful annual planning process that reshaped her confidence, clarity, and conviction as a CEO. In Part 1 of this annual planning series, Gwen shares the personal journey behind committing to a six-day CEO retreat—navigating guilt, family responsibilities, unexpected challenges, and the internal resistance that so often pulls women away from prioritizing themselves and their businesses. This episode is both a permission slip and a mirror for women who know they need space to think bigger but struggle to claim it.
Gwen walks through the first half of her planning process, breaking down how she evaluated her revenue streams, offers, expenses, and time to uncover what was truly sustainable and what wasn’t. From recognizing costly programs to building consistent working hours and theme days, she shares the real, behind-the-scenes decisions that led to more structure, scalability, and peace. This conversation highlights the importance of boundaries, asking for help, and leading from the CEO seat instead of reacting to chaos.
This episode also marks the announcement of Gwen’s Confidence Sales System, a scalable framework designed to help more women master sales without burnout or shame. Through self-reflection, self-care, and intentional strategy, Gwen reconnects with what truly drives her and explains how that clarity is shaping the future of her business in 2026. If you’re craving alignment, sustainability, and confidence in your sales and leadership this year, this episode will meet you right where you are and challenge you to step fully into your reign.
