  • The Return: Finding My Voice After Four Years
    Feb 1 2026

    The legacy conversation just got personal.

    After a four-year hiatus, I'm back behind the microphone - but I'm not the same person who left it in 2022. Between a wedding, the birth of my son, and the whirlwind of the last few years, my perspective on what we leave behind has shifted from "abstract concept" to "daily reality."

    In this Season 2 premiere, I get honest about why I stopped, why I'm back, and why I'm questioning if anyone actually "gives a s***" about legacy anymore. This isn't a business podcast. We aren't talking about C-suite strategies or the latest tech campaigns. We’re talking about the "breadcrumbs" of our lives - the values, the vulnerabilities, and the voices we leave for the people we love.

    In this episode, I am covering:

    • The 4-Year Gap: Marriage, motherhood, and the 2026 goal to return to joy.
    • The "Atlas" Effect: How having a child changed my view on recorded memories.
    • A New Mission: Why I'm seeking more women’s voices to challenge the male-dominated "legacy" narrative.
    • The Anette Inspiration: How the loss of my foster mom continues to drive the heart of this show.

    I need your help!
    I'm looking for 5 incredible women to join the conversation this season. If you know someone with a deep, human perspective (no "big shot" credentials required), reach out to me on LinkedIn or Instagram @Galem Franks
