She Says It: Find Your Voice, Build Visibility, and Communicate Clearly as a Woman in Business

In this episode, Madeline sits down with Jen Johnson, founder of Conscious Capital Collective, who left a career in US federal contracting, moved to Costa Rica, and built something completely different: a community rooted in collaboration over competition, purpose over profit, and conscious technology over blind adoption. Her quote, "What if we love the future, what if we get it right," was an unforgettable part of the conversation. The episode dives into what it actually means to use AI ethically (and if you can) as a woman in society. Jen also shares her Conscious Tech Immersion (a three day experience helping founders figure out not just which tools to use but where to draw the line).If you’re ready to find your own voice as a woman in society and build a brand rooted in who you actually are, Madeline works with women founders on brand strategy and messaging at madlycreative.co.

In this Sunday Session of She Says It, host Madeline shares a reflection from a 12K race she ran yesterday in Tacoma.What started as a strong run along the water quickly turned into a mental and physical challenge when she hit a steep hill that even experienced runners were walking.Determined to keep running, she pushed until her body asked for something different, and in that moment, she had to confront what it means to keep going, what it means to pause, and whether either of those things means quitting at all.This episode is for you if you need to learn how to stay present in hard moments. It’s also about training for a half marathon, listening to your body, and finding unexpected moments of joy in the middle of effort, discomfort, and doubt.Madeline is the founder of MadlyCreative, where she works with women in society building brands, stories, and creative direction rooted in clarity and voice.
