It started with a friendship over coffee when we realized we shared a dream of owning a community space. So we planted a seed and kept saying yes to each other’s wildest ideas. Now, we’re building Austin’s Female Founder House — a home base where female founders have the resources, community, and space to grow their businesses. One of the compliments we hear often is about our partnership and the dynamic we have together. Tbh, we wouldn’t be building this shared dream if it weren’t for each other. So this is our prayer for every woman with a big idea: May you find the partner, the collaborator, the friend who hears your wildest dream and says, “That’s not crazy. Let’s make it happen.” 🤍 by @brigitteddonovan

The first time I walked into Creative Collective, founders Brigitte and Toria welcomed me with open arms. When they asked me questions about my business, I could tell they genuinely cared about me and wanted to see me succeed. I suggested the idea of producing a brand video for Creative Collective, and they couldn’t wait to get started! Throughout the production process, I got to know Brigitte and Toria on a more intimate level. I learned they have so much heart behind what they do in supporting women growing their businesses. I went from observing the community behind my lens to fully immersing myself in it. I’ve found a circle of women who cheer each other on, offer guidance and exude passion and ambition. It’s a powerful energy to be around, and it’s made me feel less alone as I navigate the growing pains of starting a new business. If you’re a woman business owner craving a sense of community, resources, and support, Creative Collective is the space to enter. As Toria and Brigitte say, “the room you’re in changes everything.” And I can say that’s been true me. #austinvideographer #femalevideographer #atxwomenownedbusiness by @brigitteddonovan
Here to help women feel more than okay on the entrepreneurship journey! ✨ Day 5 of Setting Intentions for this next chapter of building business and community: Remembering the WHY behind it all 💛 Our WHY is the purest driver behind everything we do as founders. And it’s tied to the experiences and impact we’re here to create 🙌 Funny how, as kids, our focus was often on how we wanted people to feel. Growing up, I dreamed of a place where everyone felt welcome, seen, supported, and appreciated for who they genuinely were. This passion stayed with me through architecture school, business school, UX/UI certification, purpose coaching certification, a decade working in R&D, teaching life design & innovation frameworks, building businesses, and ultimately co-creating community space & programming for women building businesses. Now I get to design for the women who are creating positive impact in the world by becoming or creating what they want to see in the world. 🤍 I’ve found that when we start building for impact and legacies beyond ourselves, a little more support and reminders to keep going can go a long way! This is why having a space that pours into the women who are out there, bravely stepping into the arena, is so important to me. This is my WHY. If you’re also setting intentions for your next chapter of entrepreneurship, what is your WHY? ✨ What did you want to BE or CREATE when you were little? #intentionalliving #entrepreneurlife #lifebydesign #onpurpose #femalefounders by @brigitteddonovan

Happy birthday to my sweet love ❤️ I thank God every day for guiding me to my soulmate. I love sharing life with you. How playful we are, how much fun we have together, and how we can be completely silly one minute and end up in a deep conversation about life, God, philosophy. I love how we complement each other and how aligned our hearts are. I love your kindness, your passion and ambition, your sense of humor, how we can poke fun of each other 😂, your intelligence, how tuned in you are with God, your emotional intelligence, how sweet you are, and how cute and girly you are! Thanks for bringing all these gifts to my life! I feel so grateful and so much joy getting to do life with you. Te amo, mi dulce amor. Feliz cumpleaños ❤️ Excited for all the adventures still to come. Get it lady! by @brigitteddonovan
🤍 Intention #6 for an incredible next chapter of entrepreneurship… Be wildly, unapologetically ambitious 🙌🚀☀️ What is your blue sky vision?! The one that comes up before the “realistic” constraints or limitations set in. That’s the North Star! That’s the one I want to hear about! Constraints will come up, that’s life. But knowing when to use contrast and constraints in your favor can actually fuel innovation to create what you want! So I’m setting the intention too! Let’s share more of what we DO want! Let’s go after that dream that’s so big we’re almost scared to say it out loud! Let’s NOT be realistic in Q4 and see what happens! ✨ #femalefounders #intentionalliving #entrepreneurlife #dreambig by @brigitteddonovan
