Today on the Women of Inspiration™ Podcast, we’re joined by Loretta Soffe — a bold voice challenging one of the most persistent myths in our culture: that we can “have it all.” Loretta built a high-powered career in fashion, leading at the executive level for global brands while raising three kids and flipping the traditional parenting script with her husband.
Her journey hasn’t been without challenges — including being fired at the height of her career, a moment that became a defining pivot rather than a breaking point.
Now, as an executive coach, speaker, and author of her new book Balance is Bullshit, Loretta is on a mission to help high-achievers ditch unrealistic expectations and find alignment that actually works. Her book blends memoir with practical tools for cutting through the noise, living by clear values, and redefining success on your own terms.
In this episode, we’ll chat about:
• Her career journey and defining moments as a leader
• The SupportHER™ allies who shaped her path
• The biggest myths about “having it all” in career and family
• How to turn setbacks into springboards • What “alignment” really looks like day-to-day
• Practical mindset shifts from her book that anyone can apply right nowThis episode is a must-listen for leaders who believe we can have it all. Learn More & Connect: www.universalwomensnetwork.com
