    How to Build What Doesn’t Exist Yet: Lessons from a Serial Entrepreneur

    When you have a big vision but zero “formal” experience in the space, do you move forward anyway? In this powerful episode of She Believed She Could Podcast, host Allison Walsh sits down with serial entrepreneur Rebecca Matchett to talk about how she has repeatedly built successful companies by trusting her instincts, solving real problems, and building the right team around her. From co-founding iconic fashion brand Alice + Olivia, to reinventing women’s sizing with TrioFit, to now launching Synchrony, an AI guided social app designed specifically for neurodivergent adults, Rebecca’s journey is a masterclass in mission driven entrepreneurship. She shares how she moved from fashion to tech, why she believes lack of “traditional” experience can actually be an advantage, and what it really takes to bring a vision to life in a totally new industry. You will hear a candid conversation about trusting others with your ideas, navigating app development as a non technical founder, handling missteps as learning experiences, and staying anchored in your why when the path ahead feels unclear. If you have a mission on your heart but feel intimidated by everything you do not know yet, this episode will encourage you to take the next right step. In this episode, you will learn: How Rebecca went from co founding Alice + Olivia to building tech and AI enabled solutionsThe story behind Synchrony and how it supports neurodivergent adults who struggle with isolation and lonelinessWhy not having prior experience in an industry can help you see fresh solutions and gaps in the marketPractical ways to move through perfectionism and analysis paralysis so you can actually launchHow to build a trustworthy team around your vision and navigate the risk of outsourcing developmentWhy mission, focus, and taking one small step at a time matter more than a perfect long term planWhat confidence really means when the outcome is not guaranteed  Connect with Rebecca: LinkedIn: @joinsynchrony Website: joinsynchrony.com   🎙️ Hosted by: Allison Walsh | @allisonwalsh Learn more: www.allisonwalshconsulting.com 👉 Apply to join the She Believed She Could Podcast Network and take the next step in elevating your voice, brand, and impact. 👉 Enroll for free in From Podcast to Platform and learn how to turn your story into a platform that amplifies your impact. 🤩 Access the FREE Impact Brand Accelerator: https://bit.ly/impactbrandaccelerator 👉 Subscribe for weekly episodes on mindset, confidence, personal branding, business growth and well-being: https://pod.link/1505347834 Hosted by Allison Walsh, founder of She Believed She Could™.

    Kay Rawlins: The Woman Who Built Orlando’s Soccer Legacy

    Kay Rawlins didn’t just follow a calling, she helped transform a city. In this episode, Allison sits down with Kay Rawlins, co-founder of Orlando City and Orlando Pride and Senior Vice President & Club Ambassador, to unpack what it really takes to build something from the ground up, earn community buy-in, and lead with confidence in rooms that underestimate you. Kay shares her unconventional path from dropping out at 17, to owning preschools, to launching a professional soccer club that became a Central Florida institution. They talk about building “the plane while flying it,” guerrilla marketing and community advocates, why women must be over-prepared (for now), and how finding your tribe can carry you through the hardest seasons. Plus: Kay’s mentorship philosophy, the power of boundaries, and the simple shift that changes how we check in on people.

    From Side Hustle to Scalable Business: How Elizabeth Tran Built Digit-Eli and Learned to Charge Her Worth

    Five years after her first appearance, Allison Walsh welcomes Elizabeth Tran back to the show to reflect on the evolution that changed everything — from navigating corporate uncertainty and imposter syndrome to building Digit-Eli, a successful website design and SEO business serving women entrepreneurs. Elizabeth shares the defining moments that shaped her growth, including being laid off, betting on herself, hiring her first assistant, raising her rates, and learning to separate confidence from external validation. Guided by Allison, her longtime mentor who believed in her potential long before Elizabeth fully believed in herself, the conversation explores how mentorship, alignment, and self-trust accelerated her path forward. The discussion highlights the power of personal branding, why confidence is built through action rather than perfection, and how a well-crafted website can reflect achievements many women forget to celebrate. Whether you’re growing a side hustle, scaling a service-based business, or learning to charge your worth, this conversation reinforces that belief is often the first — and most powerful — business decision you’ll ever make.
