Found-HER with Kimberley Hiebert
Found-HER with Kimberley Hiebert is the podcast for female founders navigating the messy middle of building a legacy business, while taking you behind the scenes of developing a franchise system and talking about all the parts of being a founder that no one prepares you for. Through a mix of solo and authentic, biz-bestie level conversations with guests, you’ll hear the real stories behind the build and the self-discovery that becomes the true engine of growth, not just the highlight reel.
This is a space for business owners who are breaking barriers, building their dreams and putting community first. Think of this like your founder's therapy, where you have full permission to be honest and embrace the human side of entrepreneurship.
Join every other Thursday to hear stories from women who are still in it: finding themselves, building boldly, and rewriting what it means to be a Found-HER.
