  • It is a wrap on season 5! This season was a roller coaster ride and we could not have asked for anything more. We cannot begin to express how grateful we feel to be able to talk to so many incredible women who have shaped their lives on their own terms and are working to make it possible for other women in their spaces. It is a reminder for us all that strength of a community built by strong empowering women is a force to be reckoned with and that building these connections and enjoying these little moments is what we set out to do from the very beginning.

    We were not only able to connect with 9 incredible entrepreneurs but also got to learn their hurdles and challenges of taking the road less traveled. Their aspirations, motivations, anecdotes behind their struggles, and stories of their successes is what inspires us to do better every day so we can build a tribe of women who stand together and stand for each other.

    Signing off!

    Until next time
