    In this special 100th episode of You Betcha She Did, we dive into the thoughts and aspirations of Wisconsin's Generation Alpha— young women who are poised to shape the future.

    As a special side project of the Women's Leadership Conference put on by New Sage Strategies this October, I was able to interview several teenage women leaders from Northeast Wisconsin. In this special episode, they share their dreams, concerns, and inspirations, offering a powerful glimpse into the next generation’s mindset.

    Their insights on vulnerability, representation, and future goals are both eye-opening and deeply inspiring, reminding us of the importance of supporting young women in their journey toward leadership and equality.

    Here are three key takeaways from this episode:

    1. The Power of Vulnerability
      Many young women bravely step outside their comfort zones, discussing stigmatized topics and advocating for important issues. Their courage reminds us that vulnerability is a strength, and by sharing our own stories, we can foster a more open and empowered community.
    2. The Importance of Representation
      Concerns about the lack of female leadership were prevalent, highlighting the need for more women in business, government, and STEM fields. This serves as a powerful reminder that when young girls see women in positions of power, it encourages them to pursue their own dreams without limits.
    3. Dreaming Big for the Future
      From aspirations of a woman president to the elimination of gender inequality, these young women envision a world of equal opportunities for all. It’s a call to action for us to support the next generation, ensuring they have the tools and encouragement to achieve their bold dreamss


    A special Thank You to Vicki Updike, New Sage Strategies, Madison Wilcox, Maggie Johnson, Laurel Golson, Elle Trampe, CoCo Guiou, and Chloe Godlewski for sharing their voices and thoughts for this episode.

  • 99 | Million Dollar Decisions vs. Broke A#$ Decisions - Which Are You Making?
    Aug 20 2024

    Send us a text

    Are you a Broke Boo or a Rich Boo? Do you make Broke A#$ decisions or Million Dollar Decisions? In this episode, I am diving into the genius of Rachel Roger's book aptly titled - We Should All Be Millionaires.

    Rodgers argues that society and the media perpetuate stereotypes about women and money that keep women from earning more. She rejects the idea that women need to work harder or live more frugally, and instead suggests that women need to change how they think and feel about money. When women are millionaires, the world changes for the better. And before you think, there is no way I will ever be a millionaire, think again.

    Take a listen as I dive into a few of my top takeaways from Rachel's genius book including helping you discern which type of decisions are guiding your life: Broke A#$ Decisions or Million Dollar Decisions.

  • 98 | Shedding Mindsets That No Longer Serve Us as Modern Women
    Aug 6 2024

    Send us a text

    Raise your hand if you have ever felt burn-out and mental exhaustion. If you're raising your hand, you are not alone. I bet most women around the world are raising their hands.

    In this episode of You Betcha She Did, I talk with Dr. Jennifer Blossom about the concept of "masking" in leadership, where women often hide behind facades of perfection, unwavering strength, and selflessness. None of these masks are good for you and often lead to burnout and emotional exhaustion.

    She explained how these masks, while initially protective, become limiting beliefs that hinder personal and professional growth. We discussed practical steps to unmask and shed these limiting beliefs using the acronym SHED: Self-reflection, Honoring authenticity, Embracing resistance, and Deciding to take control of one's thoughts and actions.
