As a woman in business, I like reflection questions whose purpose is to create space for me to examine my experiences and go far beyond, “how do you balance your work life and family life?” There will be none of that here because it’s a tired question and it’s all life.

In post-Roe America, abortion funds are a lifeline to ensuring access to safe and legal abortions for those who need them. These organizations often rely on community support to provide essential services like health care, transportation, childcare, and lodging for individuals seeking abortions, gender-affirming care, and often other basic health care.

For Savvy, witnessing love stories is at the heart and soul of her business. It’s personal, it’s wonderful, and it’s one of the aspects of her job that will never dull. Savvy is the photographer at Savvy Leigh Photography in Charlotte, North Carolina. Her photos capture the most meaningful parts of a couples’ wedding day because, for her, weddings are an expression of friendship between two people.

Malin Ovesson is the photographer and experience creator at Wild Souls United, a boutique elopement firm that helps adventurous couples realize their unique dream of tying the knot in Switzerland. Her business is amazingly unique – one day, she could be planning a bespoke elopement via Zoom with a couple from the United States. The next, she’s photographing a couple hiking in their wedding attire to say their vows in front of the most spectacular view of the Matterhorn.

During the 2020 election and the COVID-19 pandemic, I turned to postcard writing as a way to help support democracy and stay away from the virus. A lot of my friends and family liked the idea, and together, we sent more than 6,440 postcards to voters.

Yes, 6,440.

My sister and I wrote 1,000. Each.

I was so inspired by the way my community showed up, I decided to do it again this year.

Before I started my business, maybe I wouldn’t have known what to ask during an AMA. My questions might’ve been more basic. Or maybe I would’ve asked one-and-done. It’s amazing the inspiration that comes from being a part of a supportive and encouraging space. Since I (obviously) couldn’t ask all of them in the 30 minutes left on the call, I offer these so that when you have the chance to talk to a women in business, you seize the chance to have a window into her world by asking a thoughtful, interesting question.

Just after I started a new job relatively early in my career, my grandfather passed away at the age of 92. I am so lucky to have had him in my life for a long, long time. But it never matters how much time we have been gifted with our loved ones because it's never enough. And it truly was a gift to be his granddaughter for 28 years. I took the maximum amount of time allotted in the bereavement leave policy of my new job, about a month after I had accepted the offer and 2 weeks after starting work.

Like most marketers, and well, everyone on LinkedIn, I was curious about ChatGPT and how it could aid my workflow. I’ve played around on it, asked it questions, and tested what I thought would be most helpful to my work.

Being a social media manager can be difficult. I wish I had this list earlier in my career. I would have written one or two on a Post-It note and placed it below my monitor. And perhaps, these words would’ve bolstered me in moments of difficulty. I know they still would today.

In my professional opinion, Twitter is an effing dumpster fire. And it's only going to get worse. I've read a lot of opinions on this from communications professionals. Here’s what I think.
