This April, let's raise our metaphorical umbrellas to celebrate these women making waves. It's time to delve into their stories, quirks, and maybe even their secret rain dances.

Let's embrace this opportunity to refocus and reignite our passion as we navigate the journey ahead just like our next two features, Lane and Elka.

When I shared a hearbreaking story with a close circle of friends recently, it led to a pretty deep conversation: Is your life an example or a warning?

Two women who I see live out loud are our next two features: Melissa and Rachel, welcome to the fold!

I've talked to countless colleagues from around the country who are at their wit's end with abusive clients, ill-mannered employees of clients, overworked staff, and personal exhaustion.

I talked to dozens of industry friends during 4th Quarter from all over the country and everyone said it seemed to be a special kind of insane this year. Maybe we need to take some pages from the books of our next two features!

As they say, if you want to get something done, you give it to a busy woman. Please join me in celebrating the accomplishments of Tamara, Lily, Erica, Lynn and Emily as they work diligently behind the scenes in our industry to keep us informed and to provide stellar content through their news channels and events throughout the country!

Buckle up and take note, because this is a golden list of what not do from many uber successful women in our industry.
