The Woman's Hustle: Thrills and Spills of Entrepreneurship
The Woman’s Hustle: Thrills and Spills of Entrepreneurship is the podcast that keeps it real about what it actually takes to build and grow a business with purpose.
Through honest, unfiltered conversations with women entrepreneurs, we explore the wins, setbacks, pivots, and strategies that keep them moving forward.
But this show goes deeper than business tips.
The Woman’s Hustle uncovers the unique realities women face in entrepreneurship: the barriers, biases, balancing acts, emotional labor, and brilliance that shape our journeys.
Raw stories. Real strategy. Women‑centered wisdom.
This is entrepreneurship from a woman’s lens: powerful, messy, intentional, and unstoppable.

On this episode of The Woman's Hustle: Thrills and Spills of Entrepreneurship, Kisha sits down with Katrina Purcell, host of the Managed Chaos podcast and the founder behind a premier growth operations consultancy that transforms messy startup reality into predictable, sustainable results.
Katrina takes us inside her journey from project management to becoming the strategic operator behind rapidly scaling companies. With over a decade of experience moving fluidly between the high‑level vision of a Chief of Staff and the gritty execution of a Fractional COO, she’s earned her reputation as the “Queen of the Chessboard” — always thinking three moves ahead.
Conversations include:
Why operational efficiency matters more than hustle.
How systems become your superpower.
The Unfiltered realities of scaling.
Strategies for building companies that grow and support the humans running them.
