reconsider the normal ways of living, loving, and earning

We’re talking accessibility, sexuality, identity, privilege, power, equity, and race while giving ourselves and each other permission to be imperfect as we strive to do better.

This is how we reconsider our normal ways of living, loving, and earning so that we can remove stigma and create real change and connection.

  • If you are an imperfect ally, you must listen!

    Erica and India are my favorite ladies to tune into when I need more insight and context through this journey of becoming an ally. I love how Erica advocates IMPERFECT ALLYSHIP as the key. It’s so easy to feel like you care so much and don’t want to make a misstep. I appreciate her straight to the point conversations and openness in tackling these topics.

  • A must listen for business owners who want to be part of changing the world

    Every time I hear India & Erica speak, it’s like a remembering act where they’re calling us home to who we actually are and who we want to be. I love their focus on intentionality with our values and I’m so glad they’re doing their important work in the world. It inspires us all to dig deeper and do better, for all of us to rise.

    I actually stopped my hustle to sit down and listen. This was a superb episode. I learned new phrases and new ways of doing business. I am ready to explore : entrepreneurial poverty; home success team, and genius zone. Thanks Ladies! As usual, you deliver.
