About the Show
“Know before you need to.”
Welcome to The Laila France Show, the podcast for women who are ready to own every area of their lives, and for those who are finding their way back after losing a spouse.
Hosted by Laila France, women's empowerment advocate and creator of the Prepared Woman resources, this show is built on one belief: a woman who knows where she stands can live more freely, love more fully, and lead more boldly.
Each week, Laila brings together world-class experts in women's financial planning, estate planning, life insurance, legal readiness, grief and reinvention, mental health, medical wellness, and personal empowerment for conversations that are honest, practical, and built for real women navigating real lives.
Whether you are a woman who wants to understand her finances, protect her family, and have every area of her life in order, or a woman who has just lost her spouse and needs a practical guide, a compassionate voice, and a reason to believe that hope and purpose can return, this show is for you.
Meet Your Host
Originally from Mexico and now living in New York, Laila France knows firsthand that life can change in an instant. When she suddenly and unexpectedly lost her husband James at only 45, she found herself navigating overwhelming grief, legal and financial responsibilities, and the challenge of rebuilding while staying strong for her son.
Even with incredible people around her, she was lost. There was no defined order, no single place where everything she needed lived. That experience became her why. Today, as a women's empowerment and widow advocate, she hosts The Laila France Show and creates the resources she desperately needed, so no woman ever has to search for what comes next in the hardest moments of her life.
Who This Show Is For
This show is for the woman who is living a full, beautiful life and wants to own every part of it. She is accomplished, capable, and loves her life. She simply knows there are areas she has not fully stepped into yet, her finances, her legal documents, her health, her long-term plan, and she is ready to change that.
She comes to The Laila France Show because she is ready to understand, lead, and live with everything in order. And sometimes, she comes because she has just lost the person she built her life with, and she needs a guide, a community, and a reason to believe that hope and purpose can return.
