Today on the milestone 500th episode of the Invest In Her podcast, host Catherine Gray talks with Alexis Meruelo, founder of The Business of Her and author of Getting You Ready for Power. A passionate advocate for the next generation of women leaders, Alexis creates high-energy conferences, educational experiences, and supportive communities designed to help young women develop confidence, expand their professional possibilities, and recognize their ability to create meaningful change. Through The Business of Her, she is building a platform that connects ambition with opportunity while encouraging women to pursue leadership, entrepreneurship, financial independence, and personal fulfillment. In this inspiring conversation, Alexis opens up about the deeply personal experiences that shaped her mission, including heartbreak, professional burnout, imposter syndrome, rejection, and the struggle to rebuild her identity during a major transition. She shares how her healing journey led to writing Getting You Ready for Power, a book intended to help women reconnect with their self-worth and prepare emotionally and professionally for the opportunities they desire. Alexis and Catherine discuss why success must be defined individually, how setbacks can redirect women toward a more authentic path, and the importance of building wealth with intention. They also explore the power of investing in women-led businesses, surrounding yourself with people who support your growth, and using influence to create opportunities for others. Alexis highlights The Business of Her's work to empower young women and its commitment to awarding a $10,000 grant to a female-owned business in Las Vegas, demonstrating how confidence, capital, education, and community can work together to help women step fully into their power.
