Ep 61: Made for This Moment: Leadership, Legacy, and Full-Life Ambition with Gillea Allison
This week’s She Busy episode was a moment. We recorded live at the Plano Chamber of Commerce Women’s Division Summit 2025, and the energy in that room was electric with ambitious women leaning in as Gillea Allison, President of D Magazine Partners, dropped gem after gem on leadership, motherhood, and the messy, magical middle of it all.
We talked about what it’s like to lead a legacy brand while raising tiny humans, how “action is the best antidote to anxiety,” and why women are uniquely positioned for the leadership era we’re living in.
You’ll hear how Gillea found her own voice stepping into her father’s company, why she believes presence is a privilege, and how she protects her energy while running a powerhouse media group.
If you’ve ever wondered how to build impact and keep your sanity, this one will feel like a warm hug and a pep talk rolled into one.
