The Renaissance Podcast
A "renaissance" signifies any revival, transformation, or renewed interest in something, often marked by a burst of creativity, intellectual activity, and cultural development. It’s time to start a Renaissance in your business and LIFE with The Renaissance Podcast, a weekly show for women entrepreneurs. This isn’t just any podcast—it’s your ultimate source for inspiration, education, and the spark you need to revive, renew, and infuse creativity and opportunity into your business.
Entrepreneurship is as much a mindset game as it is about business savvy. That’s why we’re bringing you wisdom from multi-six and seven-figure female founders who share how they support, grow, and operate their successful businesses. They have clarity around their missions and balance it all with home life, motherhood, and mental wellbeing. They're here to show you how they do it. We’re not fans of the “B” word (balance), but we believe it’s possible to run a business that gives you the keys to your dream life—including everything you love—your Renaissance life.
Hosted by Sydney Dozier, founder of Renaissance Marketing Group—one of Nashville’s top social media marketing agencies—and creator of the successful bi-annual Renaissance Women's Summit, this show is all about empowering women to live their Renaissance lives. Sydney’s mission is to inspire you to invest in yourself, because that positive impact WILL and DOES ripple through your business.
Expect to be inspired, empowered, uplifted, and encouraged. Say goodbye to that isolating feeling of being a woman entrepreneur—we’re here to build a community of Renaissance women who share openly and vulnerably about our business journeys.
Your Renaissance is just getting started, and we're so glad you're here!
The Renaissance Podcast is brought to you by Renaissance Marketing Group—a premier full-service social media agency based in Nashville.

What Preparing for Maternity Leave Taught Me About Building a Sustainable Business with Sydney Dozier
What if taking a step back is exactly what your business needs to move forward?
In this solo episode, our founder and host, Sydney Dozier, is pulling back the curtain on what maternity leave has really looked like — and how it’s transformed the way she views sustainability, leadership, and longevity in business. A month into leave with her second baby, Sydney shares the 3 biggest (and most unexpected) lessons she’s learned about building a business that doesn’t just survive while you’re gone... but thrives.
Whether you’re a mama, a future mama, or just a founder craving more space and sanity in your work — this one’s for you.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
- Why space is essential for your brilliance to shine — and how to build it into your calendar before burnout forces you to.
- Why stepping away doesn’t lose you respect — it earns it (plus how your team might surprise you in the best way).
- Why mindset is still the most powerful tool in your business toolbox — and how Sydney’s January intention-setting episode came full circle.
You’ll also hear about the book that was a game-changer in preparing for this season:
Scale or Fail by Allison Maslan — highly recommend grabbing it on Audible!
Sustainability in business isn’t built in the hustle — it’s built in the pauses. It’s in the quiet moments where vision gets clearer, trust gets deeper, and longevity takes root.
Take a moment to reflect:
Where do you need more space? More trust? More mindset shifts?
