The Loud & Lifted Podcast

Toxic bosses.
Glass walls.

The women who undermine you instead of lifting you.

The podcast that says what others won't.

About the show

No sugarcoating

Candid conversations for women at work: toxic leadership, salary negotiation, getting promoted and the peer dynamics nobody talks about. Real stories, practical takeaways and guests who say it straight.

“The polite version of the women-in-leadership conversation wasn’t helping anyone.”

Betsy Hamm

I spent 25 years in leadership, including as CEO of Duck Donuts, where I helped grow the brand from about 20 to nearly 200 locations. Today I’m a growth strategist, executive coach, and speaker, and I created Loud & Lifted so women don’t have to figure out leadership alone.
