Women have always known that building community with other women creates a powerful force for good. Leslie Bailey, the co-founder and CEO of Indy Maven, has transformed that knowledge into a lifestyle media company and community for women that epitomizes her spirit of collaboration, support, and inspiration. And now she is creating even more opportunities for the community by launching a new social and networking space that expresses what the Indy Maven team has created digitally. I love the wisdom and vulnerability that she brought to our discussion on these topics and others:

• Managing success and all the expectations that come with it
• Resisting the urge to give away too much of yourself
• Setting boundaries
• Understanding that self care is about more than bubble baths
• Asking for help when life happens

I’m confident that you’ll find useful takeaways in this episode. It’s a valuable discussion for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, in need of support, or out of control despite their achievements.
