ABOUT THE HOST:
Former Executive Search Recruiter turned LinkedIn Expert & Entrepreneur. I'm here to show you that you can do it too! After 15 years of working in Corporate, I knew that I was no longer serving my purpose. There was this tiny voice inside of me saying "you were made for more" and I couldn't ignore it any longer. In 2021 I launched ChilledVino, my patented wine product and in 2023 I launched The Feminine Founder.
This podcast is a supportive and inclusive community where I interview and bring women together that are fellow entrepreneurs and workplace experts. We believe in sharing our stories, unpacking exactly how we did it and talking through the mindset shifts needed to achieve great things.
