Helping Businesses Work Smarter Not Harder, Kate Rosenow

Who/what inspired you to start Work Well with Kate? This might sound odd, but a stressed-out version of myself. I started my first business in 2014 and quickly became overwhelmed and burnt out because of all the hats I realized I had to wear. I saw a need to change my business for my overall health and wellbeing and when I did, I became addicted to helping others build more sustainable and profitable businesses.

Alissa Boyer’s Self-Built Career Of Mentoring Empaths

Because it's deeply personal for me. I mentor highly sensitive people (HSPs) and empaths. These are the deep-feelers; the caretakers; the ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves. They tend to be the kindest, most gentle souls AND many of them grew up believing that the way they were is wrong.

Lawyer Turned Financial Educator, Delyanne Barros

Three years of law school, $150,000 in student loans, and 14 years of experience. As an immigrant and WOC this was difficult because I knew how much of a sacrifice it was to achieve what I did and how rare it is in our community. However, I realized that I am not my profession.

Business & Finance Coach, Savannah Elam

As soon as I graduated high school, I moved out on my own and started working my first “big girl job” where I was on salary and had benefits. Living in Los Angeles working an entry-level job, I simply wasn’t making enough money to make ends meet.

Hello! I'm Maddy Shine, a coach who helps ambitious female entrepreneurs get to the top of Google and beyond, teaching tools and techniques to improve your SEO and visibility game.

Pink Stork Founder, Amy Upchurch

Back in 2009, doctors gave me 24 hours to live. I was struggling with hyperemesis gravidarum, which I can only describe as morning sickness on steroids. I struggled through my first three pregnancies, but in my fourth, I decided enough was enough.

Founder Of Two Comma PR, Sabrina Stocker

Yes! I have watched "The Apprentice" since the age of 9, and I would always shout at the TV, saying, "I could do that!" Both my parents were teachers; they taught me a love of learning, but not the love of a 9-5! I always knew that I wanted to be a 'businesswoman.'

The Humanitarian Crisis Facing Female-Owned Businesses In Afghanistan

Since 2001, 57,000 female-owned businesses opened in Afghanistan, providing 40,000 jobs - 45% of which were given to women - and grossing $66.8 million in revenue (Afghanistan Women Chamber of Commerce and Industry). Women made strides not only in business, but in sports, with the creation of the first all-female Afghan football team in 2007 (Sporting News, 2021).

Restless App Founder, Olivia DeRamus

Restless is such an impactful app, serving as a digital safe space for women. What inspired you to create this remarkable app? Thank you! I went through a difficult experience for a number of years; when I was a freshman in college I was sexually assaulted. When I reported him to the university (and was found in the right), he sued me to the tune of millions of dollars for defamation.

How did Uncle Nearest get started, and what does it look like now? It began as a small craft premium whiskey brand with a team of three people crisscrossing this country to introduce it bottle by bottle. We’re now the fastest-growing American whiskey brand in U.S. history, the most-awarded American whiskey (which includes Bourbon, of course) of 2019, 2020 and 2021 to date.

Own the Trend Founder, Farida Bayoumi

How did Own The Trend Get started and what does it look like now? My husband and I (boyfriend at the time) started OWN THE TREND because both of us were unemployed. I was doing my last semester in university and he was studying for his pharmacy board exam. We were watching LOTS of Shark Tank in between studying so we decided, Why not start our own business?

Emmy Marie, Trauma Coach

I live an empowered life of joy, alignment, and security after surviving long-term abuse. But it hasn’t always been this way. When I was first recovering from my abusive relationship, I continued to perpetuate the abusive dynamics I was so desperate to leave in the past.

Founder of Evelyn Chick Projects Inc., Evelyn Chick

Success isn’t really about the number of sales you push monthly - I mean that would be great too, but with the growth and potential that we have built up in a short 6 months. We get a lot of large clients by referrals and they are often thrilled with our service and performance. That is also because I try to keep my staff motivated and happy, which in turn translates to the guests.

Mad Batter Cookie Co. Founder, Madison Jenkins

How do you measure success at your company? Mad Batter Cookie Co. originally began as a creative outlet. I’ve always loved baking and coming up with quirky and fun flavor combos (mad creations if you will). My family and I ran out of tummy room, so I started selling locally!

Turning a “Shecession” Into a “Shecess”: How the Pandemic Has Paved the Way for #Girlbosses
