Applications close for the 2026 Women’s Owners Network on 10/1. The six-month program integrates the emotional with the practical—tackling leadership, finance, crisis planning, paired with structured support for the isolation, emotional volatility, and decision fatigue that comes with owning your own business. It’s designed by entrepreneurs who have navigated the same terrain and understand that sustainable business growth cannot be separated from the support network and resilience required to sustain it. Growth is never accidental, it comes from being willing to learn, adapt, and embrace change. You deserve sophisticated, integrated support to get you to your next chapter, however you define it. www.sbamwef.org

Fighting for my own voice taught me something crucial: you fail when you don't show up authentically as yourself and stifle who you are to make others comfortable. The QUIRKS™ personal branding framework is built from real experience, messy lessons, and 20+ years of figuring out how to own my space in the world. Isn’t it about time you did the same? Discover what makes you weird, memborable and why the messy, imperfect, wonderfully weird parts of who you are as your greatest assets. Ready to own your weird? Register for my upcoming Q&A session.

If you're struggling to define your personal brand or don’t even know where to start, hang with me on March 17, 3:30 p.m. ET, and we’ll dig into it. Register for the Big Deal Energy Q&A below.

The scariest part of personal branding is putting yourself out there...unapologetically and authentically. If you think it comes naturally for anyone, and you're the only one struggling - you'd be wrong, cause we're all fighting imposter syndrome. My advice? FAKE IT and walk into every room with the confidence of a mediocre white man. As women, we are navigating spaces and systems not built for us or by us...and we've been doing it for years. We make ourselves smaller so others are more comfortable. If you don’t know where to start, join my Big Deal Energy Q&A on March 17: https://lnkd.in/gPFbUF4z
