Ian Simkins is a Tennessee-based pastor who influenced Bailey's faith with biblical sermon snippets. Bailey's faith made her consider sharing her story at the Women Who Build kickoff luncheon after a career pivot and divorce. "I was listening to a sermon about six or eight months ago, and it was talking about 'what is your purpose,'" she says. "I started thinking about how I can use my voice and my story to share with others."

History Cool Kids posts bite-sized fun facts. Bailey follows it for amusement and to "find the most off-the-wall history stats."

"That was actually like a piece for self-defense!" she says, referring to how some women used long hat pins for protection.
