Glitter, Grit, and Growth

On Glitter, Grit, and Growth, we believe that “Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic sh!t.” Sometimes, that looks like leaving an abusive relationship to rebuild your life, brick by brick. Other times, it’s leaving a stable but unfulfilling job to pursue your passion. On this episode, Shelley and Jill get gritty with author, speaker, and survivor, Chelsea Simpson, who faced her fears, freed herself (and her daughters) from generational trauma, and now inspires the next generation of female leaders to live “like poppies do.”This podcast is for you if you believe that:● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”● There’s more than enough for everyone.● Your energy will tell you where to go next.

Before becoming invisible in the advertising world, Rene Huey-Lipton built global brands, worked on presidential campaigns, and collected Gold Effies and Gold Lions. A strategist, speaker, and arch nemesis to bullshit, Rene wrote My Authentic Voice after doing the work herself, to help other women stop performing and start showing up as themselves. She founded The Women's Economy — a movement built on one idea: you can't control a woman who controls her own money. And she's currently in pre-seed on Stopapp, a proximity-based safety app for women, because apparently she needed another way to be inconvenient to the status quo. Luckily for us, she agreed to bring her “dangerous voice” to this episode of Glitter, Grit, and Growth.This podcast is for you if you believe that:● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”● There’s more than enough for everyone.● Your energy will tell you where to go next.

The 2026 International Women’s Day theme is Give To Gain. It’s a campaign that encourages a mindset of generosity and collaboration. Give To Gain emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support.

When women thrive, we all rise.This podcast is for you if you believe that:● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”● There’s more than enough for everyone.● Your energy will tell you where to go next.

Curiosity is a beautiful beginning, but it’s not the whole story. Growth happens when curiosity meets courage. In this episode, we check in with ourselves about curiosity to make sure it is genuine exploration versus a way to potentially procrastinate or hide from commitment.This podcast is for you if you believe that:● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”● There’s more than enough for everyone.● Your energy will tell you where to go next.

Follow the thread but set a boundary. Give yourself a time limit or milestone: “I’ll explore this idea for two weeks, then decide my next step.”2. Ask better questions: Not just “What else could I learn?” but “What do I need to do with what I’ve learned?”Reflection prompt: “Where might your curiosity be calling for action instead of more exploration?”Want more episodes like this one?

Period.”● We should be analyzing our successes just as much as any failure.Key takeaways:● Failure is hard to talk about because of fear of judgment, negative self-talk, toxic perfectionism.● Failing triggers a fight-or-flight biological response for survival (sweat, heart races, etc.).● When we fail, we can feel shame, guilt, anger.● We often view ourselves as failures. Just because you HAD a failure or set-back or things didn’t go as planned doesn’t mean that you ARE a failure.● We view failure as blocking the way. But maybe it creates the path. We can either view failures as obstacles or lessons. We get to decide.Want more episodes like this one? Search for Glitter, Grit, and Growth on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!
