Let Her Cook

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. The scary parts. The plot twists. The moments no one claps for, but still deserve celebration. Because at some point, you have to stop waiting for someone else to validate your achievements. Start advocating for what you need and learn to celebrate how far you’ve come.

What is Let Her Cook?

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.
