In this special 20th episode of The Madeleine Eliza Show, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own creative journey — from the initial spark that inspired this podcast to the lessons I’ve learned about voice, vulnerability, and visionary leadership.
This episode is a love letter to creativity: the wild, sacred impulse to make something from nothing… and the discipline it takes to show up, even when it’s messy. I reflect on my personal growth, the dance between art and business, and how women’s voices — especially in leadership — are a revolutionary force. Plus, I share how AI is amplifying my creative process (not replacing it), and why alignment is the theme guiding everything I do this year.
Whether you're a creator, a leader, or a woman finding your voice — this one’s for you.
✨ In This Episode:
Why I started this podcast & what it's become for me
Rick Rubin, raw creativity & the tension between art and commerce
Why discipline is the backbone of true creative freedom
The power of women’s voices in business and culture
How AI has changed my creative process
Vulnerability vs. perfection: the magic of showing up raw
Personal growth, creative courage & walking in alignment

Feminine Leadership: Beyond the Girlboss Vs Soft Femme

Feminine Leadership: Beyond the Girlboss Vs Soft Femme
This episode cracks open the concept of feminine leadership, particularly from the perspective of the corporate woman who is constantly negotiating power, implicitly or explicitly, within workplaces and leadership teams that are often dominated by men.
We explore the ways that women typically meet male power in the workplace, the limitations of ‘girlboss’ aka neoliberal feminism which essentially asks us to mimic men, and conversely the ‘soft femme’ movement which asks us to reclaim our femininity and step out of hustle culture entirely. I advocate for a different and more empowering model of feminine leadership, where we step into total unapologetic ownership of our female bodies and harmonise the feminine and masculine energies within the self.
We also discuss traditionally ‘feminine’ leadership traits such as emotional intelligence, and the various advances in workplace equality which have empowered women in recent years.
Western history and religion does not paint a very empowering picture for women. We look at the more freeing Tantric perspectives on female expression, and crack open the oracle archetype.
You can access my free 3-part training ‘The De-Armoured Leader’ which explores these topics in more detail at madeleineeliza.com/leader
