The Polished Podcast

In this episode of The Polished Podcast, host Jane Doerman sits down with Ellie Nieves—attorney, speaker, women’s leadership coach, and faith-filled road warrior—to explore the powerful theme of leading gratefully through adversity.

Ellie shares her journey from navigating the pressures of New York City politics as a young lawyer to finding resilience and purpose through her faith, particularly during challenging seasons. From leading a political campaign amidst the chaos of 9/11 to empowering women leaders today, Ellie’s story is a testament to the transformative power of gratitude and grace, even in life’s toughest moments.

Key takeaways include:
