Hey there!
​​
Thanks for stopping by to learn more about me. I'm Mary Killelea, and I'm on a mission to help women like you shine in their careers, especially in the business and tech world.
You know what's funny? I never imagined my 2019 podcast would turn into what 2B Bolder is today - a thriving community that's actually ranked in the top 5% of podcasts worldwide! (With over 20,000 downloads, which still blows my mind.)
My career path? Oh, it's been quite the adventure! I've worn so many hats - from spinning records as a radio DJ to writing for WebMD and even designing websites for Mentor Graphics. For 16 years, I ran my own digital marketing agency, helping service-based businesses build their brand (talk about a roller coaster!). Then, I jumped into the corporate world, leading major marketing multi-million dollar campaigns at Intel.
But here's the thing - while I loved all these experiences, my heart kept pulling me back to entrepreneurship. That's how 2B Bolder was born. I wanted to create something that would help women step into their power and own their careers.
Can I be honest with you for a minute? This journey hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows. I've dealt with my fair share of struggles - childhood trauma, addiction, self-doubt, and some pretty tough bosses along the way. But you know what? Those challenges shaped who I am today and are exactly why I'm so passionate about helping other women rise.

I've been involved with and am an advocate for organizations like Gotara, Lean In Circles, and the Women at Intel Network because I truly believe in the power of community. When one of us succeeds, we all do.
​
I also believe in continuous learning and sharing knowledge—it keeps us growing! I love speaking at events like the Portland Digital Marketing Summit, where I presented in 2022. Recently, I've had the incredible opportunity to share insights with students at Portland State University and Lewis and Clark University on various marketing topics. There's something so energizing about connecting with the next generation of professionals!
​
Want to know what really brings me joy? It's seeing women recognize their worth, set healthy boundaries, and grow in their careers while staying true to themselves. Whether it's through my podcast, website, LinkedIn content, or upcoming workshops, I'm here to help you take those bold steps forward.
​
So, if you're ready to shake things up and step into your full potential, let's do this together! Because honestly? You're capable of so much more than you might think.
Keep being bold, friend! 💪✨
