happy wednesday
Happy Wednesday! It may be the last week of Mental Health Awareness Month, but we want to ensure your self-care mentality continues well past the month of May. Keep it up with our most popular self-care links from this month: Don't forget! You can subscribe now to the brand new Women Who Own It Podcast. For and by women entrepreneurs and their supporters, Women Who Own It will feature organic conversation and unscripted stories with women business owners who built it, grew it, and #OwnIt.

This week we are continuing to share our weekly gratitude round-up. Want to participate? Send us an email and tell us three things you are most grateful for.
