Quick Lift: Play Big, Laugh Loud & Swing Anyway
In this Quick Lift episode, we’re teeing up takeaways from our conversation with Jamie Mowery—marketing pro, entrepreneur, and co-founder of She Said Golf. In under 10 minutes, we unpack how confidence is built one swing at a time (literally and figuratively), why perfection is overrated, and how the real game-changer is finding a community that cheers you on.
Jamie reminds us that we don’t have to wait to be great to show up—just get in the room, grab the mic (or the golf club), and have some fun!
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.240
Welcome to Loud and Lifted. I'm your host, Betsy
00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:04.559
Hamm. And today's quick lift is a bite -sized
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:06.799
burst of bold you didn't know you needed in under
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:09.259
10 minutes. This week, we're highlighting moments
00:00:09.259 --> 00:00:11.740
from our conversation with Jamie Mowery, a marketing
00:00:11.740 --> 00:00:14.880
executive and founder of She Said Golf, who empowers
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.199
women to find their voice, own their message,
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.760
stop playing small, and to have some fun. This
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:23.160
one's for the women who feel stuck, silenced,
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:25.640
or stretched thin. You don't need more hustle.
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.629
You need a mindset shift. maybe a golf club,
00:00:28.890 --> 00:00:32.409
and some friends. Jamie's episode was about way
00:00:32.409 --> 00:00:35.350
more than golf. It was about community, connection,
00:00:35.549 --> 00:00:38.530
and the importance of having fun. Let's tee off
00:00:38.530 --> 00:00:50.170
to our key takeaways and action items. Up first,
00:00:50.590 --> 00:00:53.369
confidence is built sometimes slowly. If you've
00:00:53.369 --> 00:00:55.229
listened to previous episodes, you know confidence
00:00:55.229 --> 00:00:57.670
seems to be a reoccurring theme and that's for
00:00:57.670 --> 00:01:00.369
good reason. Confidence is so important and it's
00:01:00.369 --> 00:01:02.369
something that many women tend to struggle with.
00:01:02.570 --> 00:01:04.969
However, it's something we can actually continue
00:01:04.969 --> 00:01:08.189
to work on. And Jamie's point was is that confidence
00:01:08.189 --> 00:01:10.790
is built through practice and through reps and
00:01:10.790 --> 00:01:13.870
sometimes it is slow. I think generally I'm a
00:01:13.870 --> 00:01:16.530
fairly confident person, but you put me on a
00:01:16.530 --> 00:01:19.230
golf course, I am not confident. I don't want
00:01:19.230 --> 00:01:21.510
other people to see me golfing. I want to be
00:01:21.510 --> 00:01:24.030
far away from everybody. I get super nervous.
00:01:24.590 --> 00:01:27.870
I stress out about it. I feel awful when I shank
00:01:27.870 --> 00:01:31.150
the ball and it's crazy. But the reason why I
00:01:31.150 --> 00:01:33.439
don't have confidence on the course. not just
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:35.299
because I suck, it's because I don't put in the
00:01:35.299 --> 00:01:37.780
practice and the effort. I'm trying, this is
00:01:37.780 --> 00:01:40.459
my year where I'm going to put a little bit more
00:01:40.459 --> 00:01:42.900
effort into that practice and going to the driving
00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:46.299
range and taking lessons. But that same mentality
00:01:46.299 --> 00:01:49.260
and thought process is relevant to our professional
00:01:49.260 --> 00:01:51.859
careers. We've talked before about sometimes
00:01:51.859 --> 00:01:54.359
it's hard to speak up or to be comfortable to
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:56.900
raise your hand or volunteer for something. But
00:01:56.900 --> 00:01:59.840
slowly, if you take baby steps, it becomes easier
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.519
and you'll start to build that confidence. There
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.540
is a great quote from Kobe Bryant and it says,
00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:07.920
confidence comes from preparation. And that's
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.099
so true. And think about the amazing career he
00:02:10.099 --> 00:02:13.120
had. He had to prep. He had to build his confidence
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:17.379
slowly over time. So takeaway here, nobody crushes
00:02:17.379 --> 00:02:19.180
it on the first try. Whether you're pitching
00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:21.840
a bold idea or learning how to hit a golf ball,
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.840
confidence is earned by doing the thing again
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.550
and again. Also, confidence follows action. So
00:02:28.550 --> 00:02:31.069
action item for this one, show up for the reps,
00:02:31.469 --> 00:02:34.210
swap, I'm not good at this for I'm still learning
00:02:34.210 --> 00:02:36.590
or I'm still practicing or I'm still growing.
00:02:37.069 --> 00:02:39.349
Don't have the negative self -talk and remember
00:02:39.349 --> 00:02:42.530
that progress over perfection every single time.
00:02:42.930 --> 00:02:45.669
Takeaway number two, forget the boys club, build
00:02:45.669 --> 00:02:48.289
your own. First of all, I think we need to stop
00:02:48.289 --> 00:02:51.110
using the word club. Club is exclusive, right?
00:02:51.189 --> 00:02:54.289
And as women, we want to be inclusive. So we've
00:02:54.289 --> 00:02:56.389
discussed the fact that the boys club still exists.
00:02:56.780 --> 00:02:59.900
Always will exist great good for them and it
00:02:59.900 --> 00:03:02.120
can feel very exclusive So we need to continue
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.439
to focus on building a community not a club.
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.550
We don't need a girls club. We need a well women's
00:03:08.550 --> 00:03:10.990
community. Jamie talked about on the golf course
00:03:10.990 --> 00:03:13.590
how it was very exclusive and there really weren't
00:03:13.590 --> 00:03:16.069
a lot of women around and that's literally still
00:03:16.069 --> 00:03:18.990
true today anytime you pick pretty much any golf
00:03:18.990 --> 00:03:21.430
course but who cares it doesn't matter. So they
00:03:21.430 --> 00:03:23.389
started to focus on the positive of building
00:03:23.389 --> 00:03:25.990
their own community and their own circles and
00:03:25.990 --> 00:03:28.490
that's the takeaway here and that again isn't
00:03:28.490 --> 00:03:31.090
just on the golf course this is anywhere in life
00:03:31.090 --> 00:03:33.349
because by the way if you haven't looked around
00:03:33.349 --> 00:03:35.870
there's not many times where women aren't in
00:03:35.870 --> 00:03:38.460
the minority whether it's in settings that are
00:03:38.460 --> 00:03:40.520
sports like. You know, you go to the gym, you're
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.080
probably one of the few women or minority. I
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.560
did realize this morning that the one place that
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.500
I feel like women are not in the minority is
00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:51.099
a yoga class. So if you need to be in that group
00:03:51.099 --> 00:03:53.319
where there is a lot more females than there
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.169
are men. take a yoga class, definitely recommend
00:03:56.169 --> 00:03:58.330
that. But again, the same thing from a social
00:03:58.330 --> 00:04:01.189
situation can be applied professionally as you
00:04:01.189 --> 00:04:03.550
continue to grow in your role. And as you take
00:04:03.550 --> 00:04:05.590
on more of a leadership position, a lot of times
00:04:05.590 --> 00:04:07.590
you're going to find yourself to be one of the
00:04:07.590 --> 00:04:09.389
fewer women in the room. And that's okay. It
00:04:09.389 --> 00:04:11.229
doesn't matter. That's when you continue to make
00:04:11.229 --> 00:04:14.030
those connections and build those circles to
00:04:14.030 --> 00:04:15.949
forget about the boys club and just continue
00:04:15.949 --> 00:04:18.769
to focus on building your own community. Part
00:04:18.769 --> 00:04:21.850
of the reason why people are obsessed with She
00:04:21.850 --> 00:04:25.050
Said Golf is the community feel of it. And it's
00:04:25.050 --> 00:04:27.189
the way it makes them feel when they are a part
00:04:27.189 --> 00:04:29.269
of these events. Golf, I feel like is maybe second
00:04:29.269 --> 00:04:31.250
or third on the list. Yes, that's the reason
00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:33.209
why these groups started to form and why this
00:04:33.209 --> 00:04:35.750
community was built. But it's the way that women
00:04:35.750 --> 00:04:37.870
feel when they are at a She Said Golf event.
00:04:37.930 --> 00:04:40.389
They feel supported. It's inclusive. Oh, it's
00:04:40.389 --> 00:04:43.069
also fun. There's cheerleaders cheering for you
00:04:43.069 --> 00:04:45.430
and you feel that sense of belonging. So yes,
00:04:45.610 --> 00:04:47.689
the boys club still exists, but let's continue
00:04:47.689 --> 00:04:51.009
to focus on building our community. Action item
00:04:51.009 --> 00:04:53.290
for the week, invite someone in, whether it's
00:04:53.290 --> 00:04:56.089
a meeting, a golf round, or a happy hour. Start
00:04:56.089 --> 00:04:58.350
making a community where women feel like they
00:04:58.350 --> 00:05:01.050
belong. Number three, probably my favorite, is
00:05:01.050 --> 00:05:04.389
have some damn fun. Many of us are in a constant
00:05:04.389 --> 00:05:07.389
state of getting shit done or trying to improve
00:05:07.389 --> 00:05:10.730
and it's Overwhelming and it's exhausting. We're
00:05:10.730 --> 00:05:13.389
so worried about our families our friends our
00:05:13.389 --> 00:05:16.769
jobs But the reality is we have to put ourselves
00:05:16.769 --> 00:05:19.290
first and at the top of the list It's true and
00:05:19.290 --> 00:05:21.430
that counts for the relaxing and the unwinding
00:05:21.430 --> 00:05:24.550
but also to have some freaking fun I think I'm
00:05:24.550 --> 00:05:26.730
pretty good at this one. I have to give myself
00:05:26.730 --> 00:05:29.529
credit. I'm very intentional about scheduling
00:05:29.529 --> 00:05:32.360
fun I'm always looking ahead to the next weekend
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.620
or the next time and it can be little things
00:05:34.620 --> 00:05:37.339
like scheduling drinks or dinner with your girlfriends
00:05:37.339 --> 00:05:40.319
sometimes it's bigger I have my high school girlfriends
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.879
that we go away at least once a year on a girls
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:45.639
weekend trip which I love so much and of course
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:47.399
fun doesn't mean just with your friends but a
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:49.620
lot of times that's definitely a break but also
00:05:49.620 --> 00:05:51.579
planning things intentionally with your partner
00:05:51.579 --> 00:05:54.600
or your spouse and even your kids for me it's
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.939
planning trips or getaways and whether it's just
00:05:56.939 --> 00:05:59.060
for the day to go somewhere maybe it's to a baseball
00:05:59.060 --> 00:06:01.990
game but of course then there's always the nice
00:06:01.990 --> 00:06:05.430
long anticipated vacations so I like to have
00:06:05.430 --> 00:06:07.029
things on the calendar that I look forward to
00:06:07.029 --> 00:06:10.089
and I definitely love to have fun always have
00:06:10.089 --> 00:06:12.850
been in the mindset of work hard but also play
00:06:12.850 --> 00:06:17.149
hard and fun isn't just fluff it's fuel it reduces
00:06:17.149 --> 00:06:20.329
stress it boosts creativity it makes life way
00:06:20.329 --> 00:06:23.170
more enjoyable and joy by the way is also a leadership
00:06:23.170 --> 00:06:26.279
trait to action item Join the walking group,
00:06:26.379 --> 00:06:28.660
take the yoga class, say yes to happy hour, hit
00:06:28.660 --> 00:06:31.540
the golf course, plan a trip, schedule fun on
00:06:31.540 --> 00:06:33.899
purpose. You have to be intentional. Treat it
00:06:33.899 --> 00:06:36.579
like it matters because it does confidence that
00:06:36.579 --> 00:06:38.959
comes from reps community. That's our secret
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.439
weapon and fun. That's the fuel, not the reward.
00:06:42.779 --> 00:06:45.040
So show up messy, take up space, build your life
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.500
with boldness and belly laughs. You're not behind.
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.779
You're just getting warmed up because the only
00:06:49.779 --> 00:06:51.980
thing standing between where you are and where
00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:54.569
you want to be is just to get started. If you
00:06:54.569 --> 00:06:56.410

fun.
