Jenie helped me better articulate and display my professional accomplishments and that drastically increased the opportunities I've been given to grow.  More important than the positive impact on my career, she has helped me change the lives of so many people through my work

JENIE DAHLMANN

CHIEF IDEALCHEMIST & BEAUTY SEEKER

Drop me an email! jeniedahlmann@gmail.com

I want to hear what you're reading, watching, and listening to!

Welcome to Idealchemy

I'm your Chief Idealchemist, and a true Midwesterner at heart. With a 30-year career crafting compelling content for Fortune 500 companies and non-profits, I've transformed my love for all things pop-culture into a bi-monthly newsletter that’s a delightful mix of what I’m reading, watching, listening to, and recommending.

​

I hail from Michigan, and recently returned to the Midwest in 2023 after nearly a decade soaking up the sun in Southern California. Madison, Wisconsin, is now home, where I live and work. I love my rescue cat, Tippi Hedren (yes, named after the Hitchcock star!), and my wonderful family. I have two amazing children on the brink of adulthood and a soulmate husband, Mark, who’s an actor and former soap opera star!

​

Join me on this pop culture adventure, where we mix a bit of Midwest charm with Hollywood flair.
