You need someone that is going to support this mission, support you through your blind passion to move this through through the highs and the lows.

Welcome to Powerhouse Women, the podcast for women who know they are ready for more.

I'm Lindsay Schwartz, your host,

and the founder of Powerhouse Women, and together will unlock the confidence and clarity you are looking for to help you get out of your own way and into action around your next big

idea.

I want you to imagine for a moment what it would feel like to be one of the very first in your industry to do the kind of work that you are doing.

Imagine the grit, the determination, and the vision that would be required when no one else in your

better believe that I did not waste any time digging into her background, her story,

her secrets to success. And the words of wisdom that she wants

to give all of us for how to create a thriving and long-lasting brand. This is one you might

want to listen to a few times. It was so full of wisdom. I cannot wait for you to hear it. So enjoy my chat with
