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.

For so many women, there’s a quiet belief running in the background: I’ll do it when I feel more confident.
I’ll launch when I feel ready.
I’ll speak up when I’m sure of myself.
I’ll go after the opportunity when I finally believe I can handle it.
But what if that belief is the very thing keeping you stuck?
In this solo episode, Betsy challenges one of the most powerful societal “shoulds” women carry—the idea that confidence must come before action. Through honest stories from entrepreneurship, motherhood, leadership, and life’s unexpected turns, she shares the perspective shift that completely changed how she approaches fear, self-doubt, and growth.
Because here’s the truth most of us were never taught:
confidence isn’t the starting point.
Confidence is what grows after you take the leap.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
• Why so many accomplished women still experience imposter syndrome
• The real reason more preparation, experience, or certifications don’t fix self-doubt
• How self-trust—not confidence—is what actually moves you forward
• The simple shift that can help you stop waiting and start acting
If you’ve ever felt like you’re waiting to become the “confident version” of yourself before going after your dreams, this episode will change the way you see it.
You don’t need confidence to begin.
You just need the courage to start.
