These Connecticut Women Are Making Some Serious Noise
This month’s issue of Westport Magazine from Moffly Lifestyle Media published a piece by editor Samantha Yanks spotlighting female “power podcasters” shaping conversations across Connecticut — and The HAYVN Hubcast made the list!
Honored and thrilled to be included alongside ten other remarkable women doing genuinely meaningful work. Check out this rockstar list:
Dorothy Cascerceri Simone (That Greenwich Life) — raw, honest, and one of MSN's top podcasts to listen to in 2025 / DOROTHY CASCERCERI SIMONE
Nathalie Carpenter (All Over Again with Natty) — the question she asks every guest ("what would you do again?") will make you rethink your own story
Sharon Macey (Mom to More with Sharon Macey) — top 2% globally, and proof that the next chapter can be the best one
Nina Bradley Clarke (Nina's Got Good News with Nina Clarke) — an Emmy-winning journalist who left TV news to share only the good stuff, and hasn't looked back since 2018
Lauren Dudley Stephens & Kaki McGrath (Two Sisters in Business) — the real conversations behind building a brand and a life together, no filter
Emily Roberts (The Big Move Podcast with Emily Roberts) — identity, career pivots, and the courage to start over, now happening live across Connecticut
Kristina Bontempo & Christina Tarabishy(Pretty In Pink Again) 15,000+ downloads and a community of women who tune in to feel less alone
Erika Badan (WORK with Erika Badan) — micro episodes, big truths, and zero fluff about the future of work
Maria Rowbotham (She's Smart) — unscripted, curious, and exactly the kind of conversation I wish I could sit in on every week
Abbey Carnivale (Say More with CT Live) — eight years of Connecticut stories, now going deeper
Every single one of these podcasters built something because she noticed a gap — a conversation that wasn't happening, a story that wasn't being told, a community that needed a gathering place.
There's also something quietly powerful about the fact that so many of these shows are rooted in reinvention. Career pivots. Identity shifts. Starting over after a season of life wraps up. These aren't niche topics. They're the conversations women are having everywhere, and Connecticut happens to have a remarkable cluster of people willing to host them publicly.
While I don’t just speak with women on the HAYVN Hubcast, you’ll find we have created a space where listeners can learn from the experiences of successful leaders and entrepreneurs, gain valuable insights, and feel inspired to take action in their own businesses and organizations. So thankful to HAYVN founder Felicia Rubinstein for this opportunity to share more about the work and impact of the HAYVN community.
Have you been sitting on an idea — a podcast, a newsletter, a platform of any kind — I'd ask you this: what's the conversation you keep wishing someone would start? Because sometimes that's your answer.
Let’s chat - I’d love to hear what you're working on.
