And She Spoke

Picture an auctioneer. If you’re like most people, you just pictured an elderly, bespectacled British gentleman, with a gavel in one hand and a glass of scotch in the other. Not a 20-something woman in a brightly colored dress with heels et al. That’s where Lydia Fenet comes in. Lydia is the Global Managing Director of Strategic Partnerships at Christie’s in New York by day and auctioneer extraord...

It’s been a long few weeks.  And full disclosure, they’ve been some of the worst for us and our business. We’ve had to process the fact that our partnership with our work, our business’s core values, and our day-to-day operations have been shaken up, maybe even permanently.  All in the span of a few days.  Our business has always stood for sustainability, digital artisanship, and slow growth. It’s...

We’re a female-owned software company, and take a LOT pride in what we’ve built.   And we love supporting other woman-owned ventures, which is part of the reason we were both big fans of THINX. This was a product developed by women, for women, and it helped to change the public conversation about women’s bodies.   Good for women, and good for the environment? Consider us sold.    So when we heard...

Remember when you’d work your tush off just so that you get handed a shiny gold star in front of the whole class?  Yeah, us too. Our theory is that this behavior is why so many women in business identify as perfectionists today.  When we had a show of hands in our community, there were SO many of you who identified as loud and proud perfectionists. And, we can definitely relate.  But, perfectionis...

With more and more women getting into online business, we decided that it was time  to have an honest conversation about what it means to grow an online business in 2020. Running an online business has its advantages: you can work when you want, where you want, while wearing what you want. But...there’s a downside.   People who work a 9-5 can switch off at the end of the day, but as business owner...

On an average day, we make 35,000 decisions. It can be as simple as deciding what to wear, or what to eat for breakfast, or something a little consequential like deciding to diversify your business revenue streams, or as tense as dealing with conflict. As entrepreneurs, our power comes from being decisive. Making a decision, following through, and knowing when to pivot.  Tune in to this week’s epi...

Welcome to the first official episode of And She Spoke . This week, we’re diving into everything that’s changed in the three years since we first launched the Soulful MBA. Entrepreneurship has been a journey of personal transformation for both of us. It’s given us a sort of unshakeable sense of self and confidence, and with it comes the comfort of knowing that no matter what happens we’ll be okay....

With a new decade, we wanted to take a second to say goodbye to the Soulful MBA, it’s brought us so far, and we’ve gained so many loyal listeners in the process, but we realized that we’re now at a point in our lives and our businesses where we want to go deeper. For the last three years, we’ve been talking about all the different ways that you can grow and market your teaching platform, but now w...
