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.

Description
What happens when life forces you to rewrite your definition of success?
In this episode, Betsy sits down with Kate Schroeder—CEO of Interact for Health, former global health leader, cancer survivor, and former congressional candidate—for a conversation about the moments that reshape who we are. From leading public health initiatives in Zambia to facing a life-changing lymphoma diagnosis in her early 30s, Kate shares how each unexpected chapter gave her a new perspective on purpose, ambition, and what truly matters.
Together, they explore the tension between achievement and fulfillment, why service is at the heart of meaningful leadership, how criticism can become a catalyst for growth, and what it really means to live courageously when the outcome isn't guaranteed. Kate also opens up about running for Congress, letting go of fear, embracing uncertainty, and building a life guided by values instead of expectations.
This episode is a powerful reminder that our greatest challenges often become the experiences that shape our greatest impact—and that sometimes the life you never planned becomes the one you're most grateful to live.
