GenerateHEREP25: Season One Recap - And Your Summer School!Reinvention doesn’t require a grand plan. For me, it starts with curiosity, creativity, and the willingness to plant something new.
As I wrap up season one of GenerateHER, I’ve been thinking about what it means to grow as a woman in business, and as someone who’s built a life in Paris. This episode is my chance to reflect on the stories we’ve shared, the lessons I’ve learned, and the practices that continue to guide me.
I talk about nurturing your “secret garden,” those dreams and ideas you’ve planted...2025-05-2624 minGenerateHEREP24: The Amazing Woman Behind Paris’s Most Popular Journal Company: Natalie ValmaryA single journal Natalie Valmary carried on a family trip through Asia sparked one of the most beautiful brands I’ve ever encountered, and reminded me how important it is not to wait on your dreams.
In this episode, I sit down with Natalie, the founder of Louise Carmen, to talk about creativity, reinvention, and what it looks like to build a business that’s deeply personal. Natalie shares how her idea took shape during a year of travel with her husband and daughters, and how it grew into a beloved journal company based right here...2025-05-1941 minGenerateHEREP23: You’re Feeling Stuck Because You Forgot How Multidimensional You AreFeeling stuck might have less to do with your circumstances and more to do with only seeing one version of who you are.
As May rolled in, I realized I hadn’t made the progress I hoped for this year, and that left me feeling stuck. I’ve heard the same thing from so many smart, accomplished women in business who are committed to personal development but still feel like something’s missing.
I started asking myself: are we stuck, or are we just seeing ourselves through too narrow a lens? So often...2025-05-1222 minGenerateHEREP22: The Magic of Writing - And How It Can Change Your LifeWriting cracked open a new version of me that reshaped my identity, my community and my business.
For years, I didn’t think of myself as a writer. But when I started journaling, just a few sentences each morning, it became one of the most important tools in my self-development. Writing helped me make sense of what I was feeling, especially during hard times. It reminded me of the strength I’d already shown and helped me reconnect with parts of myself I’d almost forgotten.
In this episode, I’m sharing ho...2025-05-0518 minGenerateHEREP21: Molly Balint and Soft BusinessBuilding a business that actually feels like you starts with knowing the season you’re in and letting go of who you think you’re supposed to be.
I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Molly Balint for a conversation that felt equal parts grounding and eye-opening. Molly is the founder of the SOFT business movement, and someone I’ve admired for years, not just for the work she does, but for how she does it. From her family farm in Maryland, where she’s raising four daughters and running her own business, Molly bri...2025-04-2832 minGenerateHEREP20: I’m Still Finding My Voice(s) in ParisWe contain multitudes, and learning to honor every version of ourselves might be the most honest kind of authenticity.
After living in Paris for more than 20 years, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about identity, why we feel different in certain places, how we show up in different roles, and what it really means to find your voice.
In this episode, I’m sharing some of my own reflections, what it’s like to be an introvert who thrives professionally but needs quiet to recharge, and how I’ve come to un...2025-04-2116 minGenerateHEREP19: The Beauty of Parisians Is Their Ability to Turn the Mundane Into the ExtraordinaryWe often wait for big moments to feel joyful. But what if the magic is actually in the small ones?
In this episode, I reflect on how living in Paris has taught me to find beauty in the everyday. While my life might sound glamorous from the outside, the truth is it’s quiet, simple, and wonderfully routine. And yet, something about the way Parisians move through the world has shifted how I see my own day-to-day.
From how they introduce each other with intention to the way they arrange produce at t...2025-04-1415 min

After two decades of living in Paris, I’ve come to see these dinners as so much more than a meal. What strikes me most is how much thought goes into who’s invited, where they sit, and how the evening unfolds. Why does that matter? Because conversation is the heart of it all. And sometimes, real connection requires a little tension. Disagreement isn’t something to avoid. It’s often whe...2025-04-0723 minGenerateHEREP17: The Power of Meditation with Eugenie Lambert BucksteinThe boldest move I’ve seen isn’t building a dream life. It’s walking away from one when it no longer feels like yours.
When I met Eugenie Lambert Buckstein, I knew I wanted to share her story. She started in law, built a career in journalism, landed a job at CNN, and then walked away from all of it. Not because she failed, but because she started listening to herself more than anyone else.
In our conversation, Eugenie opens up about what it really felt like to make that shift. S...2025-03-3147 minGenerateHEREP16: Why I Wrote My Memoire, “The French Ingredient”As I celebrate the one-year anniversary of “The French Ingredient,” I’ve been reflecting on how book writing became an unexpected tool for personal development. What started as a guide to doing business in France turned into something much bigger: a memoire of reinvention, resilience, and the lessons hidden in life’s detours.
Writing through the uncertainty of the pandemic helped me process past experiences and recognize my own growth. It also made me realize that sharing personal stories isn’t just for writers. Writing can be a way to reflect, heal, and connect.

March has always been a month of change for me. It’s a time of renewal, but it also carries reminders of hardship. Five years ago, the world changed in ways we never expected. That experience made me reflect on how joy and struggle often exist side by side. So how do we move forward when life throws the unexpected at us? I’ve fo...2025-03-1723 minGenerateHEREP14: What Is Your ‘Jardin Secret’ and How to Care for ItYour dreams are a secret garden; how you care for them shapes what flourishes and what fades.
I’ve learned that personal growth and transformation are a lot like tending a garden. After leaving Chicago and building a new life in Paris, I realized that our inner dreams need patience, care, and the right environment to thrive. In this episode, I share the idea of a jardin secret, a secret garden where we plant our hopes and nurture them until they’re ready to bloom.

Is it about the way I tie my scarf, the handbag I carry, or how I order my coffee? Or is there something deeper?
After more than two decades of living in Paris, I’ve wrestled with these questions myself. As an American woman running a business here, I’ve felt the pressure to fit in. But over time, I realized something surprising—my strength came from not trying to.
In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve learned about French culture and mindset, fro...2025-02-2419 minGenerateHEREP11: What France Has Taught Me About the Word ‘Success’Success isn’t a finish line. It’s a long, unpredictable road filled with setbacks, small wins, and lessons along the way.

This journey took seven years of struggles, delays, and setbacks that tested my patience and perseverance. I see this milestone as a réussite, a hard-earned achievement, but real success?

Why do young women confidently identify their role models while seasoned professionals shy away from the idea?
Jane Bertch unpacks this disconnect, sharing insights from her research and personal experience. She breaks down the difference between mentors, sponsors, and role models, explaining why all three play a role in personal and professional growth. She also challenges the modern idea of an “influencer” and makes a case for seeking out role models who inspire action, not comparison.

For Jane Bertch, this practice has been a cornerstone of her personal and professional growth.
