We see a world robbed of the powerful voices that accomplished businesswomen bring to elevate, heal, inspire, and lead. Over 12 million small businesses in the U.S. are owned by women, and they employ more than 10 million people. We need access to the collective wisdom borne of charting our own courses in a nation whose workplace only opened to us a generation(ish) ago.

We see bookshelves overflowing with heroines who are finding themselves and their first loves, but only a scant few telling the tales of awakening, growth, and romance that happen later in life. You know the ones — they include previous relationships, existing children, women already strong in their careers, changed experiences in the bedroom, and a relationship dynamic impacted by the maturity gained in those years.
