At what point did you make your company a full time gig? How did you know the time was right?
2 years ago I made my company a full time endeavor. My youngest baby was 2 years old and being out of the infant stage freed up a bit more time for me to dedicate myself to The Green Forest Lady's growth.
Let’s talk social media—who handles it for your company (you, an internal team member, an outsourced solution?) and what is the secret to making it successful? What is the biggest challenge?
For the last year, and outsourced company was handling my social media. I have just made the transition to handle it myself. I believe the secret is putting out personal, relatable content and actively engaging with the community that has been built while building brand awareness. The biggest challenge is the time it takes to baby it, finding the right online community and keeping up with the new trends, algorithms, and changes continually implemented by social media companies.
How do you support other female founders and women in business?
I believe fully in empowering other female founders and women in business in community, sharing what they offer to the world, as well as supporting financially by making concious purchases. Viewing myself as an ally and supporter and not a competitor is something I feel is an important message.
What does BEING a FoundHer mean to you?
It means following my unique path and calling to being something beautiful and meaningful to the world. Something that celebrates and showcases our connection to nature, the helps to bring light to how we can break free from the current oversaturated world of toxic products, and that supports women during some of the most sacres and vulnerable season of their life: motherhood.
