Let Her Cook

Everybody’s got an opinion... but so what? Forget the rules. There’s no “right way” of doing things. Take up a new hobby, start your own thing, or change your mind 50 times—who cares? Success isn’t just about money. It’s about doing what makes you happy and finding fulfillment, however that looks for you. It’s time you play by your own rules, even if that means making a few mistakes along the way....

If 22-year-old Bridget and Brianna could see us now? They’d be crying in the club. Not because we’ve “made it” in some polished LinkedIn way, but because we kept going despite the layoffs, awkward career pivots, and business breakups. We’re finally doing the scary stuff we used to talk ourselves out of. In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to be the main character of your own story....

We may be entrepreneurs, but we don’t have it all figured out. And honestly, we’re okay with that. Like everyone, we need constant reminders that: A) We’re not robots B) Burnout is not a badge of honor C) Rest is essential Setting healthy boundaries is key to protecting our sanity—and once we do that, we actually have the energy to show up and take on new opportunities. Grab a drink and join us fo...

Pencil skirts and blazers? Ew, no thanks. Professionalism is full of unspoken rules, from dress codes to how we speak and act. It pushes people to fit into a mold, but in reality, it should be about how we treat each other and approach our craft. As business owners and seasoned professionals, we now have the privilege of rejecting those outdated rules. We reflect on how we’ve learned to show up au...

Okay… maybe we’re well acquainted with impostor syndrome, but isn’t everybody? In this episode, we’re talking about those nagging feelings of inadequacy that seem to show up when you least expect them. Whether you’re in a corporate job, running your own business, or just trying to get through the day without second-guessing yourself, impostor syndrome can strike at any time. We share how it shows...

Corporate jobs aren’t for everyone. And that was definitely the case for Brianna and Bridget. In this episode, we’re peeling back the curtain on how we made our escape from the corporate grind. It wasn’t pretty, and it definitely wasn’t easy. We’re talking long hours, soul-sucking jobs, side hustles, and saying yes to everything because we thought we had to. But we got out, and we’re doing it our...

We marinated steak. We argued over cilantro. We roasted LinkedIn bros. And somewhere between all that, we had a real conversation about what it means to show up online when you also have to show up for work. If you’ve ever wondered what to post, when to post, or whether you should delete the app altogether… we get it. Posting on LinkedIn isn’t just about personal branding; it’s also about knowing...

Hosted by Brianna Doe and Bridget Poetker, Let Her Cook is a series about the realities of entrepreneurship, the chaos of corporate life as women, and the art (and science) of really great marketing. Relax, this isn’t a TED talk. 20-minute episodes where we yap while we cook. Because we love to eat. TL;DR: we’re showing up, sharing our experiences, and making room for everyone at the table.
