Growth always begins from within

If we desire to change the world, the status quo, and the whole structuring of our society, we must start with the individual. Each woman must know her strength in order to grow it and use it. This page of the website is dedicated to providing resources for you to grow personally and professionally. Once this process is started (spoiler alert; it never truly ends) we can move on to changing everything else, like the whole world, which is found on the next page - ALL OF US.
Join me and many of your fellow women on a journey to growing and finding support for who you are, because you are wonderful.

Take a journey through San Francisco in the 1850s. The gold rush is in full swing and so are the women who are entering society as entrepreneurs. This book explores who those women were, what businesses they started, what successes and setbacks they had, and their monetary intentions for being entrepreneurs. While being educational it is a fun read to see that these women helped pave the road for us and those after us.

the internet

There are endless sites on the internet that can aid in self-growth and empowerment, unfortunately, there are not endless gold mines. I have curated a list of sites and videos I have personally benefited from and that I think are powerful and reliable.
