NOURISH TOGETHER - WEEKLY NEWSLETTER - 3/20/25

Note from Jamie

I like to share things that light me up, fill me with joy, and make my life easier. Nothing is sponsored. These are just things that are helping me along my journey.

Miss America Dreams, Ms. Milwaukee Impact

When I was a young girl, I dreamed of being Miss America. I also dreamed of being a model featured on the pages of a magazine.

Well, look at me now! I'm representing a city I love on the cover of a magazine! (Pinch me!)

My younger self would be proud. My older self is even prouder that I am being celebrated for how I serve from the inside, not just how I show up on the outside.

Being named one of 30 People Shaping the Future of Milwaukee by BizTimes Milwaukee is an incredible honor.

Milwaukee is a city brimming with talent, innovation, and kindness, and I am humbled to be included alongside so many inspiring leaders who are propelling our community forward.

But I also know that recognition & awards can stir up all kinds of emotions.

A few months ago, I attended an awards ceremony, and while I genuinely celebrated the remarkable women who won, I felt a familiar pang of, "What about me?" and, "When is it my turn?"

In that moment, I wrote about the bittersweet feelings that can come with awards — the joy of celebrating others and the sting of personal disappointment.

You can read those reflections here. Spoiler alert: it’s okay to feel both. It’s okay to wish for recognition while also cheering on those who receive it. That’s the beautiful complexity of being human.

And here’s the truth — not winning an award doesn’t mean you’re any less valuable. Some of the most brilliant, accomplished individuals have never taken home their industry’s top honors. But their contributions? Absolutely undeniable.

Your impact isn’t defined by a trophy or a title; it’s measured in the lives you touch, the challenges you overcome, and the love and dedication you pour into your work.

So today, I celebrate this milestone not just for myself, but for every dreamer, doer, and difference-maker out there. Keep showing up. Keep making waves. Keep believing in the value you bring, whether it’s recognized with an award or not.

Thank you, BizTimes Milwaukee, for this recognition. And thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. Here’s to the future we’re shaping together.

xoxo,

Jamie
