100 Episodes of LWL. A look back and a look forward
Ladies Who Launch
02/14/24 • 31 min
Four years, 100 episodes, thousands of hours of conversations. Dakota and Alyssa look back at the evolution of Ladies Who Launch since its inception in 2020 and provide their insights on favourite episodes and guests.
It’s been both exhilarating and exhausting to navigate the world of podcasts. Who knew there were so many ways to record and host episodes? Prepping and scheduling guests is almost a full-time job. Why would anyone keep doing it? Well...passion.
Dakota and Alyssa started Ladies Who Launch in April 2020 as an outlet to survive the first months of COVID-19. Neither of them anticipated they would still be here four years later. The debates, conversations and emotional releases that LWL has provided are cathartic.
Thank you to everyone who has listened to episodes while walking the dog, making dinner, or even wearing AirPods at your work cubicle. Your continued support makes Ladies Who Launch more than Dakota and Alyssa could ever have imagined.

41 - Copy vs. content - yes they are different with Bridget Brown
Ladies Who Launch
10/13/21 • 55 min
Content, content, content that is what we hear all the time but so much content is tired and intended for long-form consumption. Copy is short, interesting and often catchy and intended to convert to a sale.
In this week's episode, Bridget Brown from Copy That Copy and Marketing joins Alyssa to discuss all things marketing and why social media shouldn't be your main marketing focus if you're a B2B business.
Bridget Brown is the founder of Create That Copy and Marketing. She is on a mission to help small business owners increase their leads by 50% and break free from the tyranny of social media. She is also a former TV reporter, with experience in some of Canada's most demanding newsrooms.

Ladies Who Launch
04/02/25 • 47 min
Society in the digital space is becoming more and more broken but you can still show up authentically and fill gaps that people need to thrive. In this episode of Ladies Who Launch, the first back in 8 months, Alyssa and Dakota candidly discuss where they’ve been and what’s coming down the pipeline for 2025 while diving into the depths of trolling, bad behaviour online, adding to the noise and what being yourself, scrappy or not will do for your brand if you show up as YOU and you only.
Episode highlights:
Taking the reins on your brand image, using social media for good, success mindset, brand, mental health, opinions on bad marketing, leadership and relationships.
Takeaways:
- Social media can easily become a place for fear, half-truths and a place for hate but there is still a massive opportunity to outshine the b*llshit and add value.
- If you don’t control your narrative, someone else will.
- Don’t go online without a plan.
- Your brand is everything, so make it real.

Dakota Kidby: [00:00:45] The ladies are back. Tell a friend.
Alyssa Berry: [00:00:49] Oh, my God, it's only been, what? Eight months. Here we are.
Dakota Kidby: [00:00:54] We're back after an eight month hiatus. Welcome back to season five of Ladies Who launch.
Alyssa Berry: [00:01:01] The eight month hiatus that was supposed to be like two. But Dakota and I are always on our own schedule, as many of our listeners know, so we are happy to be back,
Dakota Kidby: [00:01:12] Happy to finally be back with you guys. And we have a brand new setup. We are now using new software, we have new tech, new equipment. We're going to be on YouTube. So we really look forward to taking Ladies Who Launch to the next level this year.
Alyssa Berry: [00:01:28] Yes, and we did a rebrand too. So if you've been on our Instagram recently, you'll see we have a whole new logo brand we're coming out with. We're going to have new newsletter, new community events. We're back at it hardcore because we missed our community. And we know you guys missed us too. So.
Dakota Kidby: [00:01:46] Yeah, we got a lot of feedback from you guys over our hiatus that people were unimpressed that we were not recording. So we really appreciate your guys's support and we are very excited for season five of Ladies Who Launch.
Alyssa Berry: [00:02:01] It's crazy it's season five, to be honest.
Dakota Kidby: [00:02:03] I know. Yeah, so we started this, for those of you who are new to the podcast, Alyssa and myself started this podcast over Covid in 2020 as sort of an outlet to be able to get together as friends and be opinionated about all the things that we like to be opinionated about. And 90% of the time that is marketing, because we are both marketing professionals. I want to say 10% of the time it's everything else from period poverty to politics to what's going on in the world, to stuff that's going on in our city and so on and so forth. So.
Alyssa Berry: [00:02:40] And we will just pick up right where w...
