Key Takeaways:

• Why women’s health isn’t just a mission — it’s a massive business opportunity
• The mantras Alessandra uses to guide career pivots and reinvention
• How to bet on yourself even when the path forward isn’t clear

Kara Brothers knows what it’s like to follow the “right” path and to realize it’s not the right path for you at all. She had the title, the salary, and the security. What she didn’t have was excitement for what came next. So Kara did something women are so often told not to do. She walked away from stability into uncertainty.

For women, that leap isn’t just about business. It’s about rewriting the rules. Kara’s story is proof that you can build massive growth and create a workplace that values people, families, and joy. Because when women lead differently, companies don’t just make more money. They make more sense.

Key Takeaways:

• Why betting on yourself is worth the uncertainty
• How to create a culture that supports high performance and well-being
• The underestimated power of asking for help
• Building a career you own instead of one that owns you
• The business case for joy

Isabelle Boemeke walked away from modeling and into the belly of one of the most misunderstood industries on the planet: nuclear energy. Not because it was trendy, but because it mattered. Now, she’s rewriting the narrative around clean energy, using her platform to cut through fear, misinformation, and bad branding.

Because the truth is, women are tired of being talked down to, especially when it comes to science, technology, and the future of our planet. We don’t need dumbing down. We need clarity, courage, and creators like Isabelle who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo.

Key Takeaways:

• The cultural baggage nuclear energy carries, and how Isabelle is unraveling it with education and edge
• Why nuclear is actually the safest and cleanest form of energy
• How Isabelle turned curiosity into a movement — and a character
• Why storytelling, branding, and bold visuals in science matter more than ever 
• The worst advice Isabelle ever got and why being “cringe” is the key to building anything worthwhile

About Our Guest

Isabelle Boemeke is the Founder and Executive Director of Save Clean Energy and the creator of the online persona Isodope. Through Isodope, Isabelle has taken a uniquely subversive approach to harness the power and scale of social media to inform the next generation of leaders and builders about the massive potential of nuclear electricity to help solve global climate crises. Her education and advocacy efforts have expanded beyond the digital sphere into the real world, where she led a successful grassroots campaign to delay the closure of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in California. In 2021, she delivered a TED Talk that has since been viewed nearly 2 million times, explaining why nuclear electricity is our best chance to replace fossil fuels. In recognition of her influence on the global energy conversation, the following year she was named a TIME Magazine Next Generation Leader. Arriving in late summer 2025, RAD FUTURE is Isabelle’s provocative debut: a scientific and unconventional manifesto positioning nuclear electricity as a key solution to the climate emergency.

Rachel Sklar didn’t set out to become the godmother of modern women’s networking — she was just pissed off. Frustrated by the constant erasure of women in media and tech, she did what a lot of smart women do: she wrote an email. But unlike most emails, this one sparked a movement. 

Women have always known how to build in the margins — around systems, despite gatekeepers, and without the credit. Rachel just decided to make it impossible to ignore. Because when women back each other, we don’t just change the conversation. We change the entire game.

Key Takeaways:

• How frustration became fuel for Rachel’s most successful ventures

• The power of introductions, visibility, and building value into your network

• Why representation isn’t a favor — it’s strategy

• The art of saying “no” to unpaid labor and “yes” to building power

• How Rachel’s new podcast Hi, Smart Friend! is spotlighting voices you need to hear

What happens when you build something with your whole heart and still get written out of the story? Maria Goy had the resume. Fortune 500 exec. Tech and ops specialist. She co-founded a company that raised over $40 million, scaled it over years, stepped into the CEO seat, and still managed to stay rooted in purpose. But somewhere along the way, what she built started slipping out of her hands. Decisions got made in rooms she wasn’t fully in. Advice turned into directives. Passion was called emotion. And in the moments that mattered most, no one stood up. Not even the people who should have. Contracts matter. Representation matters. And your truth matters most of all.

Key Takeaways:

• The importance of having your own lawyer, even if you trust your co-founder

• How gender bias shows up in “feedback” like being called emotional

• Why the wrong board can feel more like a trap than a team

• How to protect your truth on paper and in the room

• Why walking away with nothing can still be the most powerful move

What if burnout wasn’t a breakdown — but a wake-up call to build something entirely new? The more you work, the better you are. That’s what hustle culture tells us. For Tai Beauchamp, the hustle started early. At 25, she was a beauty editor at the top of her game, the first Black Beauty and Fitness Director at Seventeen Magazine, and checking every box of success. But behind the scenes? She was burned out, overwhelmed, and running on empty. Something had to change, and in the process, a daily hike turned into a global movement.

Key Takeaways:

• The origin of Morning Mindset with Tai and its global growth
• Learning to live from the inside out — not the to-do list
• Building a scalable model for impact without burning out
• Creating community experiences that actually transform
• Why saying no (without guilt) is a business strategy

Did you know a girl’s confidence can drop by 20% between the ages of 13 and 18? After talking to Illana Raia, founder and CEO of Être, I can’t stop thinking about how we can change that. What she’s building with Être isn’t just about mentorship; it’s about rewriting the script before girls start doubting themselves. She’s putting them in boardrooms, letting them ask bold, unfiltered questions about pay, power, and leadership—and companies are listening. It reminded me that if we want to close the confidence and compensation gaps later, we need to start by showing girls they belong in the room now. That’s how we build the next generation of fearless women.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn why confidence starts in middle school, not the workplace.
• Reasons it's never too early to start being who you want to be.
• Why seeing a woman lead makes leadership feel possible.
• Discover how the confidence gap becomes the compensation gap if we ignore it.
• How girls ask better questions when we let them in the room.
