That's What She Said

If you've been told to keep your head down, work hard, and wait to be noticed, this one's for you. In this episode of That's What She Said, Dr. Robin Buckley sits down with speaker, author, and networking guru Julie Brown, whose career proves that talent alone is rarely enough. Real opportunity often comes through visibility, relationships, and the courage to back yourself before anyone else does. From spending 17 years in male-dominated industries to becoming a sought-after voice on networking and career growth, Julie has built success by refusing to stay small or wait for permission. She learned early that doing great work matters, but being known for it matters too. This conversation is about owning your value, building genuine connections before you need them, and learning how to advocate for yourself without apologizing for it. Julie shares why so many women misunderstand networking, how confidence grows through repetition, and why the right circle can change everything. Her story is a reminder that success is not just about working harder. It is also about being seen, being supported, and being willing to claim your place in the room.

If you're afraid it's too late to start, too risky to pivot, or too unrealistic to chase what keeps calling you, this one's for you. In this episode of That's What She Said, Dr. Robin Buckley sits down with writer, producer, performer, and creative force Caytha Jentis, whose life proves that reinvention is rarely a single dramatic leap. More often, it's the result of saying yes to curiosity again and again. From working as a literary agent to writing films, producing plays, challenging stereotypes around women and aging, and stepping into aerial performance in her 60s, Caytha has built a life by refusing to let other people decide what chapter she was allowed to be in. This conversation is about trusting yourself before you feel fully ready, handling rejection without letting it define you, and recognizing that growth often looks messy before it looks impressive. Caytha's story is a reminder that confidence is not something you wait to feel. It's something you build by doing the thing that scares you. You'll want more from Caytha: Website Instagram

This conversation is about rethinking leadership, resilience, and what it really means to keep moving forward when life gets hard. Gail's insights are a reminder that confidence isn't something you wait to feel; it's something you build through action, discipline, and refusing to quit on yourself.

In this episode of That's What She Said, Dr. Robin Buckley sits down with real estate investor, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Real Estate InvestHER, Liz Faircloth, whose journey proves that wealth isn't just built with money. It's built with mindset, resilience, and the willingness to think differently. From growing up with hardworking but limiting money beliefs to discovering Rich Dad Poor Dad in her early 20s, Liz stepped into a world she had no roadmap for. She and her husband built a real estate portfolio from the ground up, navigating failed deals, the 2008 crash, and moments where everything could have fallen apart. But the real shift wasn't just financial. It was realizing that success without meaning wasn't enough. This conversation is about redefining what wealth actually means, learning to trust your intuition without confusing it with fear, and understanding that feeling "behind" is often more perception than reality.  You'll want more from Liz:   InvestHER   InvestHER Con (July 14-16 in Scottsdale, AZ)
