42 | Combining Feminism and Christianity - What a Novel Idea!

Welcome to the latest episode of our podcast, where we dive deep into the themes of a new dystopian novel by author L. Maristatter that explores the intersection of feminist and Christian ideologies.

In this gripping novel, we follow the story of a young woman who finds herself living in a world where women's rights have been stripped away, and Christianity has been distorted to justify the oppression of women.

Throughout the novel, we see themes of resilience, empowerment, and the importance of standing up for what you believe in, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. The novel also explores the complex relationship between feminism and Christianity, showing how these seemingly disparate ideologies can intersect and complement each other.

Join us as we discuss the powerful themes of this new dystopian novel, how they speak to the struggles and triumphs of women today, and the challenges of writing your first novel. This is a conversation you won't want to miss!

39 | Start With Coffee....Then Build a Business

Is there anything better than a coffee-fueled conversation with a dear friend? How about coffee delivered to your lake house by canoe? Sign me up, right! Coffee brings us together, is an initiator of great conversations and starts dreams. So why not base a business around it, including enjoying the finer aspects of a well-roasted coffee?

During the pandemic, Sheryl and her husband left the hustle and bustle of Chicago and moved to their Wisconsin cabin. They started to tinker with roasting coffee and found they had a knack for it. From there, they started Nordskov Coffee in the Whitewater, Wisconsin area where they help people to enjoy all that coffee has to offer. They are a small business that just celebrated their 1 year anniversary, and they are all about investing in their community.

09 | Empowering Women Through Boudoir Photography

In this episode, Rayna talks with first-generation Mexican American entrepreneur Maria Hoban about her boudoir photography business Rebellious Angels Boudoir Photography. For those unfamiliar with boudoir photography, it focuses on capturing the female form in intimate settings. Maria has had a fascination with photography since she was in high school but was constantly told that is not a real career. She tried other career paths but nothing felt right. It wasn't until she was in her mid-20s that she decided to go for it and make a living as a photographer. 5 years later, Maria has now crafted a successful business that empowers women of all ages but especially those who need to get back a lost part of themselves.

02 | Be Productive Like A Boss, A She-Boss

Welcome to the 2nd episode of You Betcha She Did where women entrepreneurs and ladies who have paved the way share their wit and wisdom. In today’s episode, Rayna talks with Marian Knopp, a productivity and lifestyle coach about how she found this pathway in life as well as her best productivity tips.

Marian has spent a lot of time teaching others how to be more productive. In particular, Marian discusses the need to adjust your workload based on your daily energy levels and hormones. You can’t have the same type of productivity from day to day based on these cycles, it is actually ridiculous to expect this. When you adjust and embrace your bodies changing energy levels and hormones, you actually become more productive and less stressed.
