Show Notes:
This episode is the final installment in our special Chicks Who Give a Hoot mini-series, recorded with my mastermind sisters from The Inner Circle, led by the brilliant Rebecca Cafiero. These bite-sized episodes were captured during our time together in California, and each one features a powerful woman making an impact. Today, I’m sitting down with Bernadette Marciniak, a brand videographer who knows how to make women feel seen—literally. We talk about storytelling through video, creating inclusive media, and how she uses her lens to help women show up as their most empowered selves.
Bernadette is the founder of Solhaus Media and brings a background in photojournalism to her deeply intentional videography work. Her commitment to representation, body positivity, and safe creative spaces is not just inspiring—it’s transformative. I loved hearing how she made the leap from journalism to entrepreneurship and how she now helps women tell their stories with clarity and confidence. Her work is a reminder that visibility is a powerful form of advocacy.
