Ever wonder how those wildly successful women got to where they are today? What if I told you that every one of them had moments of “failure” would failure seem less scary to you? What if "failure" is part of the journey towards success and purpose? Welcome to the BUT FIRST, SHE FAILED podcast. In this podcast you will learn practical tips on how to develop the boss woman within you to excel with confidence in your career and business. Hear candid conversations with trailblazing women that are dominating in their fields as industry leaders, entrepreneurs, influencers and more. Learn as they share wisdom, strategies and get vulnerable about how moments of “failure” propelled them to where they are today. Hi! I’m Paola Soares:) I’m a former Journalist and National News Producer that has had stories appear on Univision, Telemundo ABC News among others. While working in news my favorite stories were always profile pieces that helped and inspired. I started this podcast because I’m passionate about helping women gain confidence in their careers, businesses and overcome the fear failing that many times can be holding them back from living the life of their dreams. Because I’ve been there. I remember: + being in meetings with CEO’s, Anchors, and other high level bosses and being too nervous and second guessing myself so much that I wouldn’t speak up and share an idea that I really felt was a great one. + Thinking that I was nothing like those boss women that I looked up, that they had never struggled and I was the only one that had setbacks. + Being let go from what I thought was dream job and feeling like like I was a "failure" and struggling to move past it till I had a life-changing realization. Now I’m taking my love of story telling and combining it with something that is on my heart, helping women overcome fear of failing and gain confidence when it comes to their careers, businesses and callings. Stop second guessing yourself and become the boss woman that deep down inside you know you are supposed to become. Shake off that discouragement, it’s not too late, you are not behind! If you are ready for your boss-woman breakthrough this podcast is for you! Get ready to get inspired!

    Jan 29 2025

    In this episode, host Paola Soares opens up about her time away from the podcast over the past year. It hasn’t been a break, but a period of growth, healing, and deep reflection. From navigating the challenges of maternity leave and expanding her family, to evolving as a wife, mother, and woman. She’s grown in ways she never expected, and is sharing what she learned, how she changed, and what she’s been working on behind the scenes.

    Going forward, you can expect more authentic and vulnerable content, a deeper focus on personal growth, and empowering conversations featuring trailblazing women with more of a focus on minority women who are doing incredible things. This journey is all about healing, self-discovery, and real talk—so stay tuned for more inspiration, insights, and authentic moments ahead!

    Thanks for your patience while the podcast was on pause. We are excited to return with a new perspective and a renewed commitment to bring you the best content possible.
