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.

How I Burned It Down to Build a Life I Love
In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my story — the whole messy, magical, not-always-pretty truth about how I went from single mom in survival mode to professional photographer with a thriving business.
You’ll hear about the freedom of my wild childhood, the influence of a fearless mother, and the power of curiosity and reinvention. I’ll take you through the leap I made when I left my marriage, the scrappy early days of building my business, and the moment I hung my work in Starbucks with no idea what I was doing (but knew I had to start somewhere).
This one’s for the woman standing at the edge of her next chapter — scared but ready. If that’s you, this episode is your sign.
