Isabel Draughon - an exceptional human and 2 decade entrepreneur. When two soul-led humans get together, you feel the palpable passion and drive in their energy and voices. That is Isabel and I - we often call each other our soul sister...it truly feels that way.Isabel shares her gifts with the world through coaching women in business (whether on their own or executives in organizations) with one message in mind - honor yourself. You are so much more than what you "do" - and Isabel implores you to, "come home". Often in speakings with high powered women, she asks simply "Who are you"? And it's one of the most difficult questions to answer because of our lifelong conditioning that our worth hinges on our title or how much we make.She shows women how to excavate who they are on the soul level, their true essence. Much like me - and, as we discuss, no one can do what we do, how we do. When you find the coach, the person that sets your soul on fire, plunge in the deep end and get ready to work.Find Isabel on her website and connect with her on LinkedIn.

Isis Fabian is a corporate recovery and neurodivergent coach. They explore what their world looks like current day especially as discrimination toward neurodivergency is at an all time high due to workplaces not being equipped with both the hard and soft skills to support accordingly. Isis is changing that to where individuals and organizations are learning how to be supported and be supportive.Further, we go deep into discussing the constructs and systems in the world that are still rooted in patriarchy, white supremacy, colonialism, imperialism, etc. and that it's not that these systems are broken...they are actually operating exactly how they were designed - the work is to completely dismantle them to be able to move forward and to make room for the new world.Find Isis on TikTok @isis_fabian, follow her work on LinkedIn, and visit her website.Follow and rate Women Making Moves on your favorite podcast platform and follow on Bluesky.
