Ten years ago, I started RPM PR with a laptop, big dreams and a passion for connecting people, helping businesses grow, telling meaningful stories and lifting others up along the way.

In this special anniversary episode of Coffee Monday, I'm reflecting on my first decade of entrepreneurship and sharing the lessons that have shaped both my business and my life. From taking risks and navigating setbacks to building a team, balancing motherhood and marriage, and learning what success really looks like... these are the insights I wish I had known from the beginning.

Whether you're building a business, chasing a dream or simply in a season of growth, I hope these lessons encourage you to keep going. Here's to celebrating 10 years of RPM PR, and to whatever comes next.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

This week on Coffee Monday, we're giving listeners an exclusive preview of the 37th Annual Central California Women's Conference (CCWC), happening September 15, 2026, at the Fresno Convention Center.

Rae sits down with CCWC Board Members Danielle Bacon Parnagian and Jenny Pardini to discuss this year's theme, Beyond the Goal, and what attendees can expect from the region's largest women's event. From keynote speaker Mia Hamm—two-time Olympic gold medalist, FIFA Women's World Cup champion, and one of the most influential athletes of all time—to inspiring breakout sessions, networking opportunities, shopping, and community connections, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at a day designed to empower women in every stage of life.

The conversation also explores the impact CCWC continues to make throughout the Central Valley, including more than $1.75 million awarded to local nonprofit organizations serving women and children. Listeners will hear why this conference has remained a beloved tradition for 37 years and how this year's theme encourages women to look beyond accomplishments, embrace new opportunities, and continue pursuing what's possible.

Whether you're a longtime attendee or considering registering for the first time, this episode will leave you inspired and ready for an unforgettable day of connection, learning, and growth.

Registration is now open at CCWC-Fresno.org.

School’s out and summer is officially in session, but for working moms, the juggle is very real. This week on Coffee Monday, Rae yaps with Mumzie Media & RPM PR COO Marcy Oliver for a candid, funny and helpful conversation on surviving summer with kids of all ages. From preschoolers and elementary-aged chaos to navigating junior high and high school schedules, they’re sharing what’s actually working in this season of motherhood.

The duo dives into tips for creating a more nostalgic “90s summer” for kids today. Think less pressure, more freedom, neighborhood bike rides, boredom, popsicles and simple memories that stick. They also talk honestly about balancing careers while school is out, managing screen time without guilt, keeping routines realistic and protecting your own sanity in the process.

Whether you’re deep in camp schedules, snack duty, sports drop-offs or just trying to make it through summer with everyone alive and semi-happy, this episode is your reminder that you’re not alone.
