What does the idea of power mean to you? To us, the idea of power embodies the ability to inspire and uplift others. It’s about using our platform to create positive change and provide space for growth. Power isn’t just about individual success; it’s about empowering our community to discover their strengths, embrace their uniqueness, and achieve their goals.

How should women support other women? Supporting fellow women is all about shining a light on each other’s awesomeness! It’s about celebrating every win—big or small—and most of all, celebrating our unique differences. Those differences are what makes us all so special.

What are you most proud of doing? We’re most proud of creating a space where individuals can truly be themselves. As entrepreneurs, we also take immense pride in embracing our own courage daily, navigating challenges, and turning them into opportunities. Rising Goddess is a haven for empowerment and growth for both our members and ourselves. It motivates us to make a lasting positive impact.

What is the most important characteristic of an effective leader? A great leader doesn’t just show the way; they keep the team inspired and united along the way, especially when things get tough. They cultivate a shared vision and foster an environment where everyone feels heard and valued.
