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.

How to Build the Life You Want (Without Burning Out) in 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’re staring at January feeling behind — like everyone else has their planner, goals, and life together — this episode is for you.
In this solo season 3 kickoff, Betsy reflects on 2025 with zero fluff: what actually made her happier, what quietly drained her, and what she’s choosing to carry into 2026 with more intention. This isn’t a “new year, new you” pep talk. It’s a grounded reset for the woman who wants clarity without pressure.
This episode is an invitation to step out of hustle-mode and back into your own signal — especially if you’ve felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, or like you’ve been playing whack-a-mole in your business (and your brain).
Together, we explore:
- Why you’re not behind (and why January pressure is a lie)
- The real “wins” of 2025: the tiny moments that create true happiness
- What Betsy is leaving in 2025: resentment, self-doubt, and self-sabotage
- A simple question that changes everything: does this drain you or give you energy?
- How to set goals that move the needle without piling more onto your plate
- The shift from punishment to joy in health, movement, and habits
- Journaling prompts to cut through the noise and lead with intention
- Why showing up more authentically is the next level — personally and professionally
You don’t need a perfect plan. You need a life that feels like yours.
You are not behind. You are right on time — and you get to write what happens next.
