Journeys Through Change- Inspiration for Women to Create a Life they Love

Dora Rankin: How Life’s Ups and Downs Led Her to Empower Women to Live Their Purpose

Noelle Van Episode 48

I bet if we were to see a show of hands with our listeners, there would likely be a significant amount of self-proclaimed overachievers. Whether we were born with that relentless drive or it’s something we learned along the way - the internal pressure we put on ourselves to do – do – do, can often feel relentless. This week on Journeys Through Change, my guest Dora Rankin and I are talking about how life’s ups and downs led her to empower women to live their purpose. 


Change is inevitable. That’s why I designed the Day by Day Book, a guided journal to help you face the discomfort of those shifts in life that are pushing you to that next level of growth and learning. Get your Day by Day Book at livedaybyday.com


In the early 2000s following an ugly divorce - Dora Rankin was a single mom, raising 2 baby girls while being the primary caretaker of her mother who had multiple sclerosis. With a determination to be self-sufficient, she began to climb the corporate banking ladder and was soon on the fast track to snagging the title of Vice President. Then in 2017 - thinking she was walking into a boardroom to receive another accolade, she was let go. 

She soon decided to go back to school to get certified in empowering women's leadership at Cornell University and from there, began consulting women leaders while uncovering a broken system - a lack of funding for women and minorities. She is now a globally successful business coach who shares her wisdom, expertise, and overall zest for life with women to empower them to create their highest earnings potential.


In this episode, Dora and I discuss:

  • Hindsight is a virtue, and more often than not we look back and see that our past experiences were critical to getting us to where we are today.
  • Leaving an unhealthy corporate environment can feel similar to leaving a volatile relationship, both requiring some mental deprogramming. 
  • How Dora transferred her corporate experience and skills to eventually start a business helping and empowering women.
  • Her new book, ‘The HEART Sell’ will teach women the fundamentals that it takes to build a successful business so they can achieve economic power.
