In this season opener, hosts Melissa Dumaz and Kerri Harper-Howie officially introduce the “Boss Bitch Season” - a season focused on elevation, expansion, leadership, reinvention, and what it truly means to step into your next level personally and professionally. And, surprise: The Hats Podcast is launching a YouTube video version of its podcast! Yes, episodes will continue to be available via our usual audio channels. In conversation, Melissa and Kerri open up about entering their “second life”, leaving behind what no longer serves them, and stepping fully into the work, opportunities, and impact they feel called toward. They share honest reflections about ambition, imposter syndrome, innovation, professional growth, wellness, branding, entrepreneurship, and learning how to think bigger without losing authenticity along the way. The episode also gives listeners a preview of what’s coming this season.
