My business has taken a turn! What started as a podcast and what I thought might be a blog has turned (mostly in my imagination) into an IRL collective. I ran a Speed Mentoring event last week featuring 6 media mentors (women who work in the media- either broadcast journalism, production, or writing). It was, in my humble opinion, an awesome first event that really opened my eyes and helped me get clarity on what my business might look like, how it might take shape, and when it might become fully formed. We want real-life connection, we want to talk about the things that inspire us, that make us want to be better women, in business and at home. The girls at Female Department do this very well, but I think there is room for me, and for Imposter, Interrupted, in that space. First, I'm a hot mess. I'm learning and want to learn with like-minded women who want access to all of the things I never got (and I never got these things because I didn't seek them out, they were always available, but hard to find and not packaged in a way that spoke to me) The image of the hashtag girlboss is slick, put-together, intellectual but also charming and cool- not me. I am weird. I'm great at a party, I've dressed like a soccer mom since I was 14. I love watching reality TV and I do it often. I am offering a space, a co-op, a collective, a network of women like me. I could use help in all departments: fashion, financial, professional, health. I need mentors, I need workshops, I need opportunities and so I am going to create them, seek them out, and share them with you. As I look towards 2019, I am frickin excited.
