I’m Betsy

2025 didn’t end the way I expected.  Being the product of a large corporate layoff right after Thanksgiving rocked me to my core.  It was traumatizing, and if you’ve never been through such an event, it’s hard to walk in that person’s shoes.  I refuse to let it define me.  Ironic, I know, since 22 years of my identity was wrapped up in the same company. After a month of processing my emotions, I’m ready to start over. 

Welcome to my journey in discovering what the future holds for me.  Forever an optimist, I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I’m excited to see what that reason is.  I’ve always been a helper-inspirer and never quite fit in the corporate box that I was constantly forced into.  Along the way, I met some amazing mentors who let me be my authentic self and now, I get to explore that without boundaries.

The first order of business – launching my Bets-ya-didn’t-know-that series.  What is Bets-ya-didn’t-know-that?  Think of it as a community where we’ll help each other learn tips and tricks.  I hate when I discover there is waste in a system and others have to just stumble along sub-optimally on their own, rather than sharing and teaching one another.

Follow along as I try to simplify and declutter my life for the month of January because this is the first year that I can truly start with a blank slate.  If you’re local to me, join my Bets-ya-didn’t-read-that book club because wow, I have so many good intentions (aka unread books).  In my quest to simplify and lead a more peaceful life, check in to see what products I discover along the way.  And by all means, show up as your authentic self because life is too short to be uncomfortable.
