When women in business mature and reach those life-changing years, they tend to become even bolder, more courageous, but also more generous and kind.

That said, sometimes even though we were expecting it, menopause and all that it entails tends to come at us like a freight train in the middle of the night.

The ‘Power of We’. It’s at the root of everything good in our world. Relationships are the cornerstone of any business. When we work together, we can conquer just about anything.
