My Why
This Collective is everything I wish I had when I entered the clean beauty industry after I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Until I cultivated a community through my Podcast and Events, I was empty and very isolated. Now I'm jet setting and thriving.
In today's culture, there is a lack of resources and support specifically tailored to female founders, particularly those in the clean beauty sector. Many women with brilliant ideas struggle to gain visibility, access education, and navigate the complex landscape of networking effectively.
The Clean Living Founder's Collective is the solution to all these challenges and more. Offering a comprehensive strategy that not only connects female founders with each other but also provides access to PR experts, mentors, and resources to help you grow your businesses sustainably.
By joining the collective, you will leverage a vast network, gain visibility through strategic PR campaigns, and build strong, lasting relationships within the industry.
