We’ve Changed Our Name — Here’s Why

After nearly two years as Let’s Talk Business, we’re entering a new chapter. Here’s why we’ve rebranded, and where we’re headed next.

In 2022, I started Let’s Talk Business with one goal in mind: to create a space where students and young professionals could find real, accessible guidance about school, work, and what it means to build a future. Like many people around me, I was figuring it out in real-time how to apply to college, choose a major, find mentors, and enter industries I didn’t yet understand. There was so much I didn’t know, and even more, I wished someone had explained honestly.

What began as a small blog and podcast quickly became something much bigger. We interviewed lawyers, students, doctors, founders, and policy professionals. We talked about rejection and risk. About résumés and research. About navigating ambition and uncertainty. It became a space not just for advice, but for clarity and community. A place to ask the questions that often go unspoken, and to hear from people who’d been there too.

But as the platform grew, so did its purpose.

I began to realize that the challenges we were exploring weren’t just individual. They were structural. The workplace isn’t neutral. Opportunity isn’t evenly distributed. The systems shaping education, labor, and leadership often leave women, especially those from marginalized backgrounds, to figure it out without a map. I wanted this platform to be more than a guide. I wanted it to become a place where we not only share career stories but advocate for a better future.

That’s why, as of this week, Let’s Talk Business is now Her Briefcase.

The name is new, but the mission is clearer than ever. Her Briefcase is a platform for women building lives with purpose, inside and beyond the workplace. We’re still here to provide mentorship, guidance, and real-world advice. But we’re also here to think bigger. To explore the policies, practices, and cultural norms that shape the professional world. And to push both thoughtfully and intentionally, for change.

That includes advocating for bipartisan legislative issues that affect women in the workplace, from labor protections and paid leave to garment industry reform and the future of climate-conscious careers. It also means offering practical tools for students applying to college, exploring graduate school, navigating their first jobs, or deciding how to align their values with their work.

Our community is growing, and so is the scope of what we can do. In the coming months, you’ll see interviews, blog posts, and digital content that reflect our new identity and deepen the heart of why we started this in the first place. We’re also continuing to expand our work through collaborations, new projects, and our podcast, all while staying grounded in the mission that started this platform in the first place.

To everyone who’s read, listened, followed, or contributed: thank you. Your curiosity, ambition, and openness made this rebrand possible. I’m endlessly excited for what comes next. So whether you’re applying to college, navigating your first internship, pursuing policy change, or simply trying to figure out your next step: Welcome to Her Briefcase. We're so glad you're here.
