    The Creative Journey with Abby MacMillan

    Abby MacMillan is the founder of Resonate Social, a social media studio that helps small business owners and founders show up online as themselves, not as a performance of who they think they need to be. She never planned to start a business. After leaving her job to be home with her daughter, she began freelancing and kept noticing that every client needed help with the same thing: sounding like themselves on social media. One glass of red wine and one very audacious email later, Resonate Social was born. A New Hampshire mom of two, Abby learned the hard way that hustling in every spare minute only leads to burnout, so she built her business intentionally around her motherhood instead of the other way around. Today she helps founders turn their real expertise and personality into Instagram content that actually connects, and believes showing up online (and building a business) should feel like an extension of your real life, not a performance.

    From Grief to Voice: Hella Rader’s Healing Journey

    Hella Rader built Stories That Sparkle—long-form intimate conversations with women navigating grief, starting over, reclaiming their voices, inhabiting their bodies and building community—because she had spent more than twenty years doing exactly that herself. As a somatic coach at Embody & Create, she brings the same kind of witnessing to her one-on-one work and helps women build lives they love from the inside out. A roving interviewer and host whose recording studio is fully mobile by design, Hella has recorded conversations, in-person, up and down the east coast, throughout the South, across the country to Denver and back through the Midwest. Each time, she sat with women in their living rooms, kitchens, and sunrooms and once, even a park. Because Hella goes where the story is.
