EPISODE NO. 3


000: TEST PODCAST FOR WEBSITE: Maria Denise Talks Boss Babes and Bacon



Podcast Intro

In this conversation, I chat with Cecilia Penn, a nonprofit founder and youth mentor whose heart for community is matched only by her drive to make a lasting impact. Cecilia is the powerhouse behind the She Ready Movement, a program devoted to mentoring young women ages 13 to 18 through love, leadership, and life preparation.


Cecilia shares how the entrepreneurial spirit of her grandmother—who built her own business from the ground up—ignited her own desire to serve and uplift girls who, as she says, "just need someone to see them." We dig into her journey, from motivation to mission, and talk about how leading with authenticity and heart has opened doors for connection, healing, and change.


She covers everything from personal setbacks to the vision for career readiness programs, and her belief that mentorship is one of the greatest tools we have to rewrite the future for the next generation. Cecilia has this soft strength and unwavering purpose, and I walked away from our conversation feeling more inspired to show up for the young women in my own life.
