    Noise vs. Noticeability: How to Get the RIGHT Attention!

    Send us Fan Mail What makes you and your story actually PITCHWORTHY? This month on 'Gal on the Prowl,' Jessica Spawn sits down with PR powerhouse, author, publicist, and Pitchworthy podcast host K.J. Blattenbauer for a candid conversation about publicity, publishing, podcasting, and the art of getting noticed for the RIGHT reasons. K.J. takes us behind the curtain of the PR world to talk about what makes a story worth pitching, why some ideas get attention while others get ignored, and what entrepreneurs, authors, and creators need to understand before trying to land media coverage. We also dive into her own journey, from building a career in public relations to becoming an author and podcast host, and the lessons she's learned helping people turn their expertise into stories others actually want to hear. Because here's the thing: You can have a brilliant idea, an incredible business, or a story that could change someone's life, but if nobody knows about it, how far can it really go? In this episode: •What makes a person or story “pitchworthy” •The biggest mistakes people make when pitching the media •Publishing a book and building authority around your expertise •What K.J. has learned from hosting the Pitchworthy podcast •The difference between PR and publicity and why knowing it matters •Why your personal story may be one of your most powerful business assets If you're an entrepreneur, author, creator, business owner, or simply a woman ready to stop playing small with what you have to offer, this conversation is for you.

    Market like a Mother...

    Send us Fan Mail Sit down with the founders of 'Mom Brain Media' to find out what it really means to build a brand and a life without relying on outdated “bro sales tactics,” and instead lean into authenticity, intuition, and connection. This is a conversation about trusting your voice, owning your story, and creating in a way that actually feels aligned. These women challenge the narrative around “mom brain,” reframing it not as forgetfulness, but as expansion. Motherhood sharpens you, deepens you, and stretches your capacity in ways that make you more powerful, not less. What does it really mean to “market like a mother ... ”? How do you build something meaningful while raising a family, carrying the mental load, and still holding onto your own identity? This episode is for the woman who knows she’s capable of more and is ready to build it her way. Special Thank You to Our Alpha Cat Sponsor A HUGE shout-out to Kava Culture Lewisville. Kava Culture Lewisville is a place to gather, unwind, and experience an alcohol-free environment rooted in tradition and intention.

    The Show That Almost Wasn’t: Resilience on the Runway with Ruby Bhandari

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when a major fashion show almost doesn’t happen? This month on Gal on the Prowl, I sit down with Dallas-based Indian fashion designer Ruby Bhandari, founder of Silk Threads, to talk about passion, philanthropy, perseverance, and the power of community. Just weeks before her highly anticipated Fall Fashion Show, Ruby was involved in a car accident that brought promotion and momentum to a halt. It genuinely looked like the show might not go on. But it did. And it sold out. In this episode, we discuss: • Building a fashion brand from the ground up • Blending Indian tradition with modern design • Leading with faith during uncertainty • Overcoming setbacks as an entrepreneur • The importance of finding your community, and rising together This conversation is about more than fashion. It’s about resilience. It’s about choosing positivity when circumstances feel heavy. And it’s about what happens when people rally around you when you need it most. If you’ve ever faced a setback right before a breakthrough, this episode is for you. Watch now and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share with someone who needs encouragement today!

    Love, Loss, and the Holidays We Never Imagined - Holding space for grief while honoring what was.

    Send us Fan Mail In this powerful and intimate episode of Gal on the Prowl, host Jessica Spawn sits down with filmmaker and film educator Natasha Paris for a conversation every woman needs, especially during the holidays. While the season is often portrayed as cheerful and full of connection, many women experience it through the lens of grief, loss, and quiet heartache. This episode explores what happens when the holidays don’t look like the movies, and how we can better support the people we love (and ourselves) during those moments. Jessica and Natasha share a rich creative history dating back to 2011. Their journey has included film festivals, creative wins, setbacks, and even traveling to Paris, France for Filmapalooza... but this episode focuses on something deeper than filmmaking. In this conversation, we talk about: • Navigating grief during the holidays • How to support someone experiencing loss (without saying the wrong thing) • Letting go of the pressure to “be okay” • Friendship, creativity, and showing up with compassion Join the conversation! If this episode resonates, please like, comment, and share it with someone who might need it. You never know who’s quietly struggling this season. Follow 'Gal on the Prowl' for more heart-led conversations, creativity, and real talk. Special thanks to Modern Acupuncture for being our Alpha Cat Sponsor. If you're in DFW check theMEOWt!
