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.

What If You’re Not Too Much—Just in the Wrong Room?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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 wrong room.
This episode is an invitation into a new kind of space: one where creative, curious women can talk about real things—art, business, psychology, spirituality, identity—and build something that’s theirs.
If you’re craving honest conversations, creative inspiration, and true sisterhood… welcome. You’ve found the right room
