The She Said Project Podcast

Shelith reveals to our hosts how the "Lessons From the Box", that she shared on stage, keep impacting her life and the life of her family. 

Kerry and Jenette get to know the story behind the story with Esmerelda from the 2025 cast of That's What She Said St. Louis. 

Megan shares a story about every mother's nightmare, and then processing her own feelings by documenting every step of her daughter's cancer treatment. Join us as we learn how the story unfolded. 

The ladies share a powerful conversation in the studio with Charlatta Bennett about her story, "Buried Treasures in the Dark." Through the darkness of one of her most tragic moments, Charlatta found inspiration to turn her grief into beauty and power. 

When two humor bloggers and old friends reconnect, the conversation is nothing short of brilliant. Leslie Marinelli appeared in several productions of That's What She Said, from Champaign-Urbana in 2014 to Atlanta in 2025. The ladies discuss the power of bringing the funny to the stage. 

Not only did Linda Darby share an important story in That's What She Said Danville in 2025, but she was the perfectly charismatic emcee of the show, leading the way for a brilliant cast. 

Jan shared her romantic journey with her husband through her love language of dance. She visits with Jenette and Kerry to update us on her dancing and her passions.

We are so excited for our friends to meet Niki Fenderson, who shared her story, "A King's Daughter" on the She Said Stage in Decatur in 2025. Her story continues to inspire, as Niki published a book under the same title. 

Tiffany Patterson and the story she shared in Bloomington-Normal last year are perfectly suited for the podcast. A fun fact Tiffany shares is that her daughter has also participated in the That's What Teens Say program and shared her own story on stage! 

We celebrate our 52nd episode, taking the year full circle, with our guest Jacqueline Kalipeni. She braved the microphone in our flagship community of Champaign-Urbana in 2026 and it doesn't take long to figure out that Jacqueline is a passionate, outspoken, resilient woman of faith.
