One of the most significant hurdles discussed is the elusive work-life balance. Societal expectations often place women in the role of primary caregivers, even if they don't have children. This expectation extends to friends and other family members, creating an overwhelming burden. I’m sharing some fascinating statistics this episode, like 44% of women business owners cite balancing family life and running a business as one of their greatest challenges. This statistic highlights the need for a shift in how we view and support women entrepreneurs.

We’re also chatting about confidence and imposter syndrome, access to mentorship, and networking opportunities. I also argue that the traditional idea of professionalism is outdated and often works against women, People of Color, and those with disabilities.

This episode is a powerful reminder that while the challenges are real, so are the solutions. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast provider or watch my episodes on YouTube!
