  • Cancel culture can significantly impact entrepreneurs and small business owners, often exacerbating the challenges they already face in the online business world. We've had numerous conversations about the pressures of public scrutiny, feeling silenced, or being hesitant to speak up due to fear of backlash.

    Recently, we were interviewed by our friend, Sara Fisk, on The Ex-Good Girl Podcast. The conversation was so impactful that we knew we had to share it with you. In this episode, we openly discuss our experience of being cancelled over our previous name, Namastream. We delve into the realities of cancel culture, the feeling of being muted, and the fear that often holds women entrepreneurs back from speaking their truth. You’ll gain insight into our strategies for navigating negative feedback, harnessing your immutable power by tapping into your intuition, leveraging community support, and much more.
