I never wanted to be a business owner, until I knew I had to be a business owner. Sound familiar?

After leaving a corporate job that burned me out, I faced a crossroads. I wasn’t sure what was next, but I knew one thing for sure: I wanted to change the game for women in business.

Business can feel like an old boys’ club, full of unwritten rules no one bothers to share. But I firmly believe that when women know the rules, we can break them — and build something even better.

If we move strategically and support each other, we can accelerate that change.

I launched Serious Lady Business to create the community and conversations I wasn’t hearing elsewhere — the real, unfiltered truths that women founders need to grow, lead, and win.

Through honest dialogue and shared strategy, my goal is to help women not just survive in business, but thrive on their own terms.

We are just as capable, if not more so, than those who have held the power for too long. Together, we can, and will, rewrite the future of entrepreneurship.
