Yes, men. Why? Because in order to grow you need to surround yourself with a diversified group of peers. That means we need both women and men to succeed. And while some may feel men are an obstacle to female entrepreneurship, we'd argue the opposite — that many are the reason we are here. Or maybe it’s just the ones we choose to surround ourselves with.

Challenge us or support us. Call us crazy or call us brilliant. Regardless of the role men play, they’re making us stronger, smarter, and more inspired than ever before, and for that we are thankful.

How letting go fuels the power to grow.

When I was 5 years old I was the best cleaner-upper in kindergarten. At 8 years old I had my whole week‘s worth of homework planned out by Monday afternoon. And by age 15 I had a list of goals I wanted to get done before I was 30.

Fast forward 15 years and through the launch of blistabloc, I’ve learned (not easily) that I can’t be in control all of the time, and thats okay. But what I can do is focus on what I can control and how I manage that.
