Founding Females® Mastermind

BUSINESS MASTERMIND FOR FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS

The Founding Females® Mastermind is where ambition meets sisterhood.
It’s a powerful community of women founders who are done doing business alone—and ready to build something bigger, bolder, and more aligned.

Inside the mastermind, we don’t gatekeep, we don’t hide our cards, and we don’t gossip or compete.
We share strategies, swap ideas, and speak truth—generously and without ego.
We show up for the wins, the pivots, and the "what now?" moments.

Because building a business takes courage.
Doing it in community? That’s where the real magic happens.

Thank you so much for all your encouragement as we’ve gotten started! Last week, we filed the paperwork for our LLC and we’re working on setting up a website. Without the support of this community, I never would have taken the steps to make my dream a reality!

I feel like entrepreneurship can be such a roller coaster! Some days I feel like I’ve got this and other days I just see all the improvements that need to be made and other days I feel the pressure to make it work because I want it so bad! And then…there are days that I feel it all at the same time…I really appreciate this community and knowing that there are other women on a similar journey. Thank you for starting this group!

I don’t feel alone, figuring stuff out as I stumble through uncharted territory.

Business Coaching

Start where you are. Build what sets your soul on fire.

As a published author of Dream, Build, Grow (featured on Amazon, Target, and Barnes and Noble), MBA, 3x business owner, mastermind host, and seasoned business mentor, I help women turn the dream on their heart into a profitable, purpose-driven reality.

Before launching my businesses, I was stuck in a corporate job that drained me. I’d wake up thinking, “There has to be more to life than this.” I felt like a total misfit in a toxic culture—and I knew I was made for more. More meaning. More impact. More freedom.

Sound familiar?

If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and start building a business that lights you up and pays you well, let’s talk. With over a decade of experience helping women go from idea to income, I’d be honored to support your journey.
