Description

A podcast celebrating Milwaukee women who are not afraid to dream BIG. Or maybe they are, but they dive in anyway. Women who are following their instincts, making mistakes and trying again, and honoring their resilience. Ultimately these are women making Milwaukee a better place for everyone through their leadership, their hard work and their radical generosity. 

In this podcast, you'll hear what it takes to live into a dream with answers to questions like: Should I start before I'm ready? Who do I need around me in order to begin? Should I say YES? What if I fail? What does success look like? 

The guests on Cream City Dreams show us that a dreamy life is possible with one small step after the next. Something we ALL can do. 

What's YOUR Cream City Dream?

CLICK HERE to send me a text, I'd love to hear what you thought about this episode! Leave your name in the text so I know who it's from! I had a 'peppier' episode recorded ... with all the things I thought were inspiring me this week. And it was true. But it wasn't as true as it could be. So I went for a walk, and re-recorded this episode to reflect what's REALLY keeping me going this week. Turns out, it's more chocolate and bread than I'd like to admit. But I will anyway. Here are the links ...

So today there...
CLICK HERE to send me a text, I'd love to hear what you thought about this episode! Leave your name in the text so I know who it's from! Today’s Cream City Digest clears up a little misinformation on the voting process for young people/college students after an egregious text went out on October 10th telling this group of voters that if they violated WI Statutes they could end up in jail or with fines of $10,000. Clearly intimidation, which itself is illegal. So I called on Debra Cronmiller, ...
