Real Women of Bastrop

RWOB w/Sylvia Carillo

One of the biggest reasons I started Real Women of Bastrop is because we so often only see the title. We see the role, the decisions, the public version of someone. But behind every title is a human being with a story, experiences, and moments that shaped who they became. I had the honor of hearing a piece of Bastrop’s City Manager, Sylvia Carrillo’s story…one of resilience and perseverance.

RWOB with Veronica Seever

Today’s conversation with Veronica Seever was such a reminder of the strength women carry quietly...the kind of strength that doesn’t need an announcement, because it shows up in the work. We talked about what it means to find your voice around men who don’t hand you respect automatically… and what it means to earn it through grit, clarity, and confidence. We talked about mentors who pour into you, moments that shape you, and the power of knowing you can do the job without asking permission. This is exactly why Real Women of Bastrop exists, to put real stories behind the women keeping this town moving.
