Mildred shared her inspirational journey from growing up as the third of 17 children on a cotton farm in Alabama to becoming a successful IT professional, author, and mentor.

Mildred emphasized the importance of resilience, overcoming obstacles, and the power of storytelling in healing and inspiring others.
About Mildred
If you are seeking inspiration to overcome life's challenges or build a more inclusive culture, my story and experiences offer powerful lessons and guidance.
I’m Mildred J. Mills, author of "Daddy's House," and my journey has taken me from the cotton fields of Alabama to stages and boardrooms around the world, sharing insights on resilience, truth, and belonging.
Growing up as the third of seventeen children on a sixty-acre cotton farm in Wetumpka, Alabama, I learned the meaning of hard work and perseverance early in life. Picking over two hundred pounds of cotton a day wasn't just a chore; it was a testament to the resilience and determination instilled in me by my parents, Abraham and Mildred Billups. This work ethic became the foundation of my professional and personal journey.

On this episode of The Women’s Agency Podcast, host Arlia Hoffman talked with Anita Henderson, who is the author of “The Minimalist Entrepreneur” and is The Author's Midwife. Anita is an experienced business owner, who went from corporate burnout to becoming a successful minimalist entrepreneur.
Anita shared her insights on the role of clarity, simplification, and focus in her business, her challenges with procrastination and perfectionism, and the importance of trusting oneself.
They also explored Anita's role as The Author’s Midwife, talking about her unique process for guiding clients through writing and publishing their books, her effective strategies for overcoming writer's block, and the deep fulfillment she experiences as clients' books come to life.
Tune in to learn more about entrepreneurial minimalism and how to successfully navigate the self-publishing world.
About Anita
Entrepreneurship wasn’t Anita’s goals list early in her career. She wanted the professional title, the corner office with the window, the assistant right outside her door, the fat paycheck, the expense account, and all the other benefits of corporate success. She got all that, then got burned out. When an unexpected opportunity landed in her lap, she jumped at it. Entrepreneurship called out to her loud and clear. That was more than twenty-five years ago.
Since then, she has started two companies (one a partnership), written several books, and dipped her toe back into corporate a few times before finally retiring from the 9-to-5 more than a decade ago. Anita has also hosted a radio show, an internet TV program, and a podcast.
Known as The Author’s Midwife, she now enjoys guiding C-suite execs and seasoned entrepreneurs to write, publish, and leverage their books to position themselves as authorities. As an author coach and book publishing strategist, she shares the secrets to writing and publishing a bestselling and award-worthy book through her Write Your Life Author Coaching Program.
She is the author of Becoming the Minimalist Entrepreneur: Lessons Learned From My Journey to Work Less, Earn More, and Play More. Her greatest joy as a business owner is learning from her mistakes and failures. There have been many, which means she’s learned a lot. But the growth and rewards have been instrumental in making her the leader and the minimalist entrepreneur she is today.

Host Arlia Hoffman is joined by Marika Ponton, an accomplished businesswoman and profitability coach, who shared her inspiring journey from a CPA to a successful business owner.
Marika discussed her transition from auditing to owning a business, the challenges she faced, and how leveraging Office Angels' virtual support was pivotal for her success. She stressed the importance of financial literacy, creative problem-solving, and understanding one's financials to achieve business success.
Marika also talked about her role in coaching small business owners to improve their financial health and operational efficiency. Her message to women entrepreneurs centers on being unafraid to take risks, seeking help when needed, and always staying on top of their financials.
About Marika:
Born and raised in Nevada, Marika Ponton achieved her CPA license and started her public accounting career.
For the next 15 years Marika earned technical expertise by auditing hundreds of public and private company financial statements and assessing their internal controls. Always seen as an outlier in the auditing industry with her trademark outgoing Marika personality, she bridged the gap between external auditors and client teams that didn’t always feel comfortable sharing all the details of their financial statements.
She went on to purchase her own company and grew it to a highly profitable location. Owning a small business proved to be significantly harder than being a CPA, she utilized Office Angels for administrative and human resources support, and the flexibility that came from as-needed Virtual Professionals transformed the efficiency and operations of the location;
She now leads Office Angels’ continuing strategic mission to help small businesses flourish!
It was a natural progression for Marika to become a Profitability Coach. She is able to analyze and assess financials and operations and she thrives on being a Secret Weapon behind the scenes.
She acts as liaison between clients and their financials and coaches’ others on how understanding them can help them achieve their goals!
Combine a CPA’s in-depth accounting background, the outgoing personality of a business development professional, and an unwavering drive to help small business owners command their businesses to achieve growth or exit goals and you have Marika E. Ponton (MEP).

On this episode of the Women's Agency Podcast, host Arlia Hoffman welcomed Diana Murphy of Diana Murphy Coaching, a mindset and life coach for leaders, entrepreneurs, and business owners.

About Diana Murphy, Diana Murphy Coaching
Diana Murphy is a life and mindset coach for leaders. She helps fuel her clients’ ability to innovate, transform, and disrupt while they create massive impact.
A classic Chicago girl chasing success, she’d check all the modest Midwesterner boxes. From marrying (and later divorcing) her best friend to moving to New York City for medical sales and then to Lincoln, Nebraska, for a higher-level sales role, she’s no stranger to change. Little did she know that she’d take part at the ground level in helping bring the StrengthsfInder to life at the Gallup organization.
Though Gallup was her dream job, she realized that a leader like herself needed more room to grow — inspiring her to become a coach.
Today, you’ll find Diana supporting her coaching clients through their transitions, behind the mic, facilitating powerful conversations on The Leader’s Table Podcast, and living her most delicious life in Atlanta.
