Takin' Care of Lady Business®

What happens when women dare to question the systems designed to keep them small? Julianna Glasse knows firsthand. Once a Christian pop singer at the center of evangelical culture, she walked away from it all after realizing the cost of her silence and submission. When a man in her church sneered, “This is what happens when women read,” Julianna turned that insult into a global movement to reclaim the inherent worth of women and dismantle the internalized fear and shame that keeps them trapped.

But her story isn’t just about leaving religion. It’s about what every woman faces when she decides her worth isn’t defined by anyone else. It’s about courage, liberation, and the radical act of self-actualization.

Key Takeaways:

• Women who refuse silence change everything
• Autonomy is non-negotiable
• Systems built on control crumble when women rise
• Oppression wears many faces
• When one woman rises, she gives others the courage to do the same

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.

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

Book: Rad Future

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?

• 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
