“Are you competing when you could be collaborating?”

Have you ever felt unsupported or isolated in your business journey? Many women consultants find themselves trying to figure it all out alone, and that can slow progress. But what if there was a faster, more effective way to grow? It all comes down to support. 

In this final episode of the series, we dive into the importance of building robust support networks and how finding your place in communities can help you go farther, faster. This is part six of our series The Feminine Advantage, where we’ve explored topics from balancing masculine and feminine energy to overcoming imposter syndrome.

Mentioned in this episode:

I have a confession to make. I hate shopping, but I love the way I feel in beautiful clothes. I love to have new looks, and I really don't want to be seen in the same outfits over and over, but I also don't want to clog landfills with more fast fashion. Because I despise shopping, I've been known to buy too quickly and end up with a closet full of things I don't wear.

But everything changed for me when I discovered Armoire. I was heading to a business event in Hawaii and I wanted to look fantastic. I got a gorgeous dress and the cutest jumpsuit. Armir is like sharing a closet with your girlfriends who just happened to have fabulous taste. Once a month, I choose stunning new selections, and a few days later, a package arrives at my door, new clothes, no shopping, different looks, no waste. I've rented over $60,000 of designer clothes for just $119 a month, and I'm constantly asked, "Where did you get that from?" Armoire!
