EP 01: Welcome to GenerateHER

“Reinvention isn’t a one-time event. It’s a journey we take one step at a time, and we can take that journey whenever we choose. Let’s do it together.”

Bonjour, les amis! Welcome to GenerateHER! Host Jane Bertch opens the door to conversations about personal transformation and the unique challenges faced by women who mean business.

Quotes

• “Sometimes we need a little recharge, a refresh, a spark of inspiration to remind us that anything truly is possible, no matter where we are in life. Because believe it or not, there’s a new version of you waiting to unfold every single day.” (00:27 | Jane Bertch)
• “I want us to explore topics that matter to us. And yes, particularly as women, how to use our differences to our strengths when we find ourselves in a room or in a community where we feel different. How to find courage in creativity. I do believe that that is almost a golden braid to have the sense of creativity to feel creative, and to have courage to pursue that. I believe if you don’t feel creative, you lose your courage. If you don’t feel creative, you can’t reimagine yourself, you can’t reimagine your business, you can’t get the energy to invite stimulation into your life.” (05:32 | Jane Bertch)
• “I want us to dig deep and figure out how we believe in ourselves. Even when we don’t. How do we push forward when the odds feel stacked up against us? But this isn’t just another podcast about business or personal growth…. I want this also to be about perspective. Living and working in Europe for more than two decades, almost 20 years of those in Paris, has taught me so much about cultural nuance, about adaptability, and the art of enjoying life.” (06:33 | Jane Bertch)
• “Reinvention isn’t a one-time event. It’s a journey we take one step at a time, and we can take that journey whenever we choose. Let’s do it together.” (11:05 | Jane Bertch)
