Season 3 Episode 38 - Breaking Barriers for Women & Girls With Julie Keller
When women and girls have the resources and opportunities to succeed, the entire community benefits. Kelly & Nick are joined this week by Julie Keller with the Women’s Fund for the Fox Valley Region to talk about the organization’s more than 30-year mission of breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for women and girls.
Julie shares how the Women’s Fund began when 100 women and some men each donated $1,000 to create a fund specifically focused on the challenges facing women and girls. Since then, they’ve invested more than $3 million into the community through nonprofit organizations, programs, and initiatives like Starting Point, which helps single mothers continue their education.
They also dive into the importance of helping young girls see what’s possible for their futures, especially in fields like STEM where women continue to be underrepresented. From education and career opportunities to identifying where women need additional support, the Women’s Fund is working to create lasting change throughout the Fox Valley.
It’s a conversation about opportunity, community, and making sure women and girls have the support they need to succeed. Check it out!

Season 3 Episode 37.6 - More Than a Crown With Miss Wisconsin 2026 Jordenne Butler
Being Miss Wisconsin is about so much more than wearing a crown. Kelly & Nick are joined by Miss Wisconsin 2026, Jordenne Butler, to talk about the journey that started when she was just 13 years old and eventually led her to representing communities across the state.
Jordenne shares how watching her dance teacher win Mrs. Wisconsin in 2009 first opened her eyes to the world of competitions and the scholarship opportunities that came with it. Since then, she’s competed six times, held the title of Miss Teen Wisconsin, and built friendships with people who have become some of her closest friends.
Now at 27, Jordenne is experiencing an exciting full-circle moment as Miss Wisconsin 2026. She talks about traveling across Wisconsin, connecting with different communities, giving back, and getting to do a job she truly loves.
From the relationships she’s built to the persistence it took to get here, Jordenne shares why this experience has always been about so much more than the crown. Check it out!
