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.
