Becoming Magnetic: The Secret to Feminine Power in Life, Love, and Leadership
🎙️ with Madeleine Eliza
What if the very rules that made you “successful” were the ones quietly keeping you small?
This week’s episode is a little different — and I’m so here for it. It’s the start of a new thread for Her Brave Story, one I’m really excited to explore.
I’m joined by leadership mentor and tantric embodiment teacher Madeleine Eliza for a raw, magnetic, and yes… slightly gritty conversation about power, presence, and what happens when you stop living by the “good girl” rulebook.
After years at the top of the corporate ladder in male-dominated industries, Maddie realised the armour that once helped her climb was now dimming her light. That relentless proving, performing, and “holding it all together” was costing her her voice, her joy, and her sense of self.
Her journey of unlearning took her through motherhood, divorce, and deep work in embodiment, tantra, and soul-led leadership. She rebuilt her life from the inside out — reclaiming a magnetic feminine power that doesn’t chase, but naturally attracts what’s meant for you.
We get into the messy, the real, and the liberating — from boundaries that shake up relationships to reclaiming desire and dismantling shame. This is one to share with your girlfriends, your sisters, your circle — because it’s time we all started leading without losing ourselves.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
What “magnetic feminine power” really means — and why it’s not something you can fake
Madeleine’s personal shift from corporate leadership to soul-led entrepreneurship
The cost of “good girl” conditioning — and how to break free from it
How embodiment practices can help you reclaim your voice and presence
Why desire is a powerful compass in life and leadership
The role of boundaries in creating freedom, safety, and magnetism
The link between shame, visibility, and authentic feminine expression
How healing your relationship with the masculine transforms your leadership
Practices to reconnect with your radiance and attract from ease, not effort
What’s alive for Madeleine right now — including her weekly spiritual practice blending yoga and kirtan

BIO:
Madeleine Eliza is a leadership mentor, tantric embodiment teacher, podcaster, and former C-level executive whose work blends strategic business expertise with the deep wisdom of feminine leadership and embodiment.
She built an award-winning career in male-dominated industries — earning recognition as Finalist, AFR Fast Starters (2015); Winner, AFR Fast 100 (2016 & 2017); Winner, Australian Travel Industry Awards: Online Travel Agency of the Year (2017); Winner, Finder Green Online Retailer of the Year (2020 & 2021); and Regional Winner, NSW Business Awards: Excellence in Microbusiness (2022).
But behind the achievements was a deeper truth: the very “girlboss” armour that once protected her was keeping her disconnected from her voice, joy, and power. Motherhood, divorce, and a deep personal transformation led her to embrace a new way of leading — one rooted in magnetic feminine power, unshakable self-worth, and the courage to live and lead on her own terms.
