    Jenna Scherma | How to Build Visibility When Your Mission Feels Uncomfortable

    Building visibility as a founder in a controversial space means accepting that some people will react to the idea of the work rather than the work itself. Jenna Scherma is the co-founder of Learn Mobile, a customizable platform that lets educators and parents teach modern, shame-free human development, and she has been pitching it publicly from Berlin to New York. Jenna traces the origin back to a tenth grade class in Los Angeles taught by her gym teacher, and to what she watched happen to classmates in the years that followed. She explains why she started pitching in public on purpose, treating it as exposure therapy and as the fastest way to collect feedback from communities across the political spectrum. She also describes what the comment sections actually look like, and the discipline of remembering that the angriest voices are always the loudest. Angela Atelier founded The Gal Project to support ambitious women in becoming who they're destined to be, through transformational photography and resources that help women live boldly and authentically.

    Christine Lavin | Finding Visibility for Women Founders in Business

    Visibility for women founders in business usually gets framed as an introvert's problem. Christine Lavin is an extrovert, and she still spent seven years running a maternity activewear company from behind the scenes, picking and packing orders when she should have been in front of showrooms and wholesalers. Christine names the quieter forms of hiding: perfectionism dressed up as standards, and busywork dressed up as productivity. She describes spending an entire day reorganizing a stock room with her marketing assistant instead of filling the sales pipeline, and the years it took afterward to admit why. She also describes what changed when she started her second business and the product was no longer a garment. It was her.

    Beth Knaus | Stop Hiding Your Voice: Brand Messaging for Women Business Owners

    Finding your voice as a female entrepreneur is not about being the loudest in the room. It is about being the most authentically yourself, and that distinction changes everything about how we attract clients, build trust, and show up in our businesses. Beth Knaus, messaging strategist and founder of That's A Spade, gets into the real reason so many women are invisible online, and it is not a lack of talent. It is a lack of a foundation. Beth breaks down why borrowing a mentor's voice attracts the wrong clients, how commodity content is quietly killing credibility, and why the stories that feel too personal are actually the most powerful ones to tell. The Gal Project and Angela Atelier exist to bring conversations like this one to women who are building something real and need the tools to match.

    Michelle Pollack | From Broadway to Bathroom Breakdowns

    What happens when executive leadership coaching for women meets the raw truth about climbing the wrong ladder? Michelle Pollack's journey from Broadway stages to network television executive suites looked like success from the outside—but inside, she was having panic attacks in bathroom stalls.

She shares the bathroom stall moment that changed everything when she overheard senior executives casually discussing missing their kids' spring breaks like it was just the cost of doing business. We explore how high achievers can stop leaving pieces of themselves behind with every promotion and why the masculine-energy hustle culture is burning out the very superpowers that make women extraordinary leaders.
