Lindsey Schwartz and I are back at The Good Vibes Studios to record another Living Room Session! We dive into the topic of anointing yourself and getting comfortable with imperfection. We share what was going on behind-the-scenes during some of our most pivotal career moments, including writing books, launching events, and speaking on stages. 

The common thread between all of those accomplishments? We were okay with showing up and doing it messy. Once you accept that done is better than perfect, that’s when you start to see your wildest dreams come true.  

Stay tuned for part two to hear our Q&A with the audience!

Multi-passionate entrepreneurs Rebecca Minkoff and Ali Wyatt are co-founders of The Female Founder Collective, an amazing community of like-minded women who crave education on how to develop their business ideas. Members have access to events, programs, and workshops specifically designed to fill in the information gap that so many female entrepreneurs experience. 

In our conversation, they explain why it’s harder for women to raise capital and share stories of how they continue to work through those financial challenges. They also give advice for female founders at all different stages of business and chat about what they’re most looking forward to at the upcoming Female Founders Day event.

We love to surround ourselves with living proof that our aspirations are possible, whether it’s the cars we want to drive, the decor we want for our homes, or the lifestyles we want to live. Our goal is to inspire others to reach a new level, but there’s always one or two negative comments that pop up when we share our achievements on social media. 

Let this be a reminder that you should always demonstrate that it’s possible to achieve your dreams and turn down the volume on people who try to tell you otherwise!
