Our conversation was scheduled for Thursday, November 7th, two days after the election.

Alas, as you know, that was not the case. We came to the call with grief, sadness, anger, and fear. We...

As women, moms, neurodivergents, people who can't do a traditional 9 - 5 job, creatives, and anyone who doesn't fit the cookie cutter mold, entrepreneurship offers us so much potential. AND--entrepreneurship affects our mental health in specific ways that "regular" jobs don't. And yet--we all fall prey to the glamorized stories of success, laying on the beach sipping cocktails while the money rolls in...and so we hide the stress, anxiety and depression and shame ourselves for having those feelings because we have to be Leaders and Experts...

I just hated myself." When COVID hit, she was forced to sit still for the first time in her life--and the self-reflection that came with that changed everything. She enrolled i...
