In this episode, we sit down with Erin Ressa, business banking relationship manager at KeyBank and co-chair of Key4Women — a national initiative that supports women entrepreneurs with access to capital, mentorship, and community.
Erin explains how banking — when done right — should feel like a relationship, not just a transaction. Our conversation dives into the real barriers women face when seeking funding: confidence, under-asking, and outdated perceptions. We talk about the value of honest, supportive partnerships — in business and in life. And programs like Key4Women that help bridge those gaps by combining education, advocacy, and support.
Whether you’re dreaming up your first idea or scaling something you love, this episode is full of encouragement and real-world insight for women who want to grow — without going it alone.
If you're new here, this is a place for everyone to laugh, learn, heal and build. Not alone. Not perfectly. But arm in arm, heart to heart. Because we were never meant to do this alone. We are always Better Together.
