The Sheila Botelho Show: Business Strategy and the Inner Work of Leadership
The Sheila Botelho Show is a business and leadership podcast for founders, CEOs, and women leading at the highest level of their work, who are ready to build the next decade of their business with more clarity, more profit, and more of themselves in the room.
You’ve already done the hard part. You’ve built something that works. You’ve hit the goals that looked impressive from the outside. And somewhere along the way, you started wondering what it would feel like to grow without trading pieces of yourself for the next milestone.
That’s the conversation happening on this show.
Every week, Sheila pulls up a chair for the kind of conversations you’d have with a trusted friend who’s spent decades growing businesses through wave after wave of change, reading rooms, and helping people come home to themselves no matter how fast the landscape moves.
You’ll hear about business strategy, leadership, profit, scaling, identity, creativity, and the shifting landscape of entrepreneurship in a season where everything is changing at once. Solo chats, minisodes, and conversations with founders and leaders building businesses with depth and integrity. Real talk for the woman who’s done the surface-level work and is ready for something with more substance.
So come on in. Get comfortable. This is the place to think bigger, lead steadier, and trust yourself more fully every time you press play.
New episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Episode Notes:
“Prioritize your health and happiness as much as your success.” -Dr. Ellen Wong
After years of living with high functioning anxiety, Dr.Ellen Wong eventually reached a tipping point after two hospitalizations related to burning out. Although she appeared like she "had it all together" - she secretly lived with never ending mental chatter that left her feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted and unhappy.
Realizing this was not how she wanted to spend the rest of her life, she set out to learn how to stop overthinking and reframe her negative thought patterns. She even travelled to the happiest countries on earth to learn about happiness.
Now, as a Naturopathic Doctor, a Self-Talk Transformologist® and founder of The Joy Avenue, Ellen works with women who are tired of feeling anxious and overwhelmed and guides them towards feeling calm and confident.
In This Episode You Will Hear about:
- How she navigated living from anxiety and burnout to guiding women to healing
- Childhood and cultural impacts on how we view our self-worth
- Working from home while mothering her newborn in a pandemic
- Epigenetics and the importance of self-talk and mental health
