The Write Your Own Story Podcast
Grab your fav pen ladies, because it’s time to write the story of how your life goes! The Write Your Own Story podcast is here to encourage women to live the life they dream about by sitting with women business owners, game changers, community leaders and friends in the most honest, no perfect allowed, just girls gabbin way, about all things life and womanhood. Stories are rooted in meaning, connection, and understanding and so often are the clues for our future selves. It’s so important for all of us to hear what other women are doing with their lives. Their successes, their struggles, their perseverance, what failure has taught them, how they show up in this world, and what sets their heart on fire. It’s these stories that make us realize we’re not alone and motivate us to take a closer look at our own dreams. I promise it will be down to earth, super real and honest, funny, and feel like we’re all just gabbin over a cup of coffee or a glass (glasses) of wine. At the end of each show, my hope ist women are inspired to block out the societal “should’s” and the inner voices of “Why me?” and “Am I enough?” so they can pick up the pen with confidence and write their own stories of their lives.

From Balloons to Big Business: Chrissie Blatt on Joy, Chaos & Creating Your Own Lane
In this radiant, laughter-filled episode of Write Your Own Story, Betsy welcomes the wildly creative and contagiously joyful Chrissie Blatt—event designer, balloon magician, and unapologetically real entrepreneur. Chrissie opens up about her journey from art school dreams to running two beloved Cincinnati businesses: Chrissie Blatt Creative and the brilliantly fun Balloon Bombed. What begins as a story about business quickly transforms into a rich conversation about motherhood, ambition, burnout, community, reinvention, and what it really looks like to chase joy while holding a hundred spinning plates.
Together, Betsy and Chrissie pull back the curtain on the highs and lows of building something beautiful from scratch—sharing everything from balloon mishaps and creative breakthroughs to juggling client calls while wiping up smoothies and navigating motherhood with grace (and sometimes, a meltdown or two). You’ll laugh, nod, and maybe tear up a little as Chrissie reminds us that joy isn’t something you stumble on—it’s something you mine, craft, and choose, day after messy, magical day.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of your own dreams, or wondered whether you’re “doing it right,” this episode is the hug, high-five, and heartfelt truth you didn’t know you needed.
