In this year-end episode we reflect on a season of candid conversations about career progression, tough choices, and motivation faced by women in seed production. We celebrate the WISP Network’s 10year anniversary and underscore the episode’s central message: the power of community and a strong professional network. Key themes included taking ownership of your career (insights from Cheryl Werner, Melissa Phillips, and Angie Black), redefining trust and leadership (including the idea that “trust is a choice”), and resilience and energy management (practical tips from Debbie Holderman and Dr. Sheilah Oltmans-Deardorff). Guests also highlighted mentorship, allyship, and concrete strategies like career mapping, building transferable skills, and scheduling recovery time. This episode wraps with the signature “shout from the rooftops” answers from this year’s guests — from “I am enough” to “keep swimming” — and a reminder to follow the podcast so you don’t miss next year’s conversation.
