2025 is my year to stop playing small. I'm turning my creative talents into real money-makers and building the financial future I deserve. No more excuses—I'll invest in skills, structure my goals, and take action to secure lasting wealth. I’ll create opportunities, collaborate with the right people, and make every move count toward my abundance. This year, I don’t just dream—I do!
In 2025, I’m calling it like it is—young women face real challenges, and it’s time to do something about it. I’m not just raising awareness; I’m mobilizing women to step up, speak out, and be the force for change we need. This year, I’m building connections, driving bold action, and refusing to settle for anything less than transformative solutions. Let’s harness our collective strength and make a real impact—no excuses, just results.

“My 2025 New Years resolution is to unplug from the hectic demands of the workplace more often and get out into the vast wild spaces of Nevada with my husband. Being out in the solitude and silence of our uniquely beautiful state always restores and grounds me – there’s nothing like the Milky Way overhead or a glimpse of a Bighorn Sheep to bring me totally into the present moment!”
Dennyse Sewell, CEO, Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts
