In a world where we're not really entirely able to answer the question "What is a woman?", it's that more confusing to define what an empowered woman would look like... And, if we can't define it, it must breed so much confusion about how an empowered woman would conduct herself, look like, or navigate the world as a whole. Add business to the equation, especially industri...

Isn't it just annoying how, as soon as we become entrepreneurs, we are exposed to those expectations, rules, and lists? Everywhere we go, we are being told what we MUST do, and how we SHOULD act, and the worst part is - oftentimes - we impose these on ourselves too... There is a massive problem though with blindly following the rules of others, constant people-pleasing, and not having boundar...

In the world of entrepreneurship and self-growth, there is often a talk about purpose.  We are being told that we need to find out what our purpose is and that we need to live intentionally and in "congruence" with our real/higher self.  But how do we find our purpose and is it something you just find and it sticks with you forever? The truth is, purpose, just like us, can and will chang...

The beauty industry is probably one of the most saturated and competitive fields anyone can think of entering.

What could be the worse kind of business advice...?  In my opinion, it's the one that you shouldn't rest when starting, building, OR growing a business!

Side-hustles are everywhere. The promise of acquiring a side income from a "fast and easy" get rich quick scheme can be found on every social media, site or browser ad, but sadly - most of them are just that - promises - which are neither quick, easy or actually profitable... One thing's for sure, they are very enticing, but bad advice can be both damaging to your wallet, as well as...

Every entrepreneurial journey looks quite similar (with a few exceptions) - a hopeful start, the realization it's not as easy as others make it out to be, questioning if it's you and you only having such a struggle, overwhelm, and then a breakthrough into a different mind-frame, where you go from defeated to a warrior.  We hear this time and time again, that there is a need to work on yo...

When we start our business, failure is one of the most feared situations anyone can imagine.  The thought of having to admit you have failed to: family, friends, and people who kind-heartedly warned you of the dangers of entrepreneurship, can seem like a punishment no one wants to go through.  This can take a toll on a person mentally, physically, and financially, and cause us to ask "Why me?...

Can women really have it all? Is it true it's harder for women in business and is there a way to be able to combine [and succeed] motherhood, career, and any woman's natural perfectionist nature?
