Helping women entrepreneurs scale, succeed & stay inspired ✨

It’s here—the Makers Mindset Accelerator is officially live!

A platform built by a founder for founders, designed to help early-stage CPG brands grow with less guesswork, more support, and a clear path forward.

The 13-module video course—complete with actionable resources and live office hours—is built to help early-stage founders and those thinking about launching a brand scale smarter and with more confidence.

I created this because it’s what I wish I had when I was building my business. I didn’t have a mentor or a network. Just a vision, and a lot of trial and error.

Makers Mindset exists to democratize access to the kind of tools, insights, and guidance most founders never get. And in a full-circle moment, revenue from the Accelerator will help fund future grants—creating a self-sustaining loop of opportunity and support.

From Season 1 of Makers Mindset ✨

@seemabansalchadha, co-founder of @venusetfleur, shares why staying bootstrapped kept Venus et Fleur creative and free to take real risks.

Our founder @nancytwine knows this feeling well. She bootstrapped Briogeo for six years before bringing on outside investment, and some of her boldest moves came from that season of building.

Belief in the business makes the difference.

Brigette Romanek (@brigetteromanek) shares a truth about building something meaningful: you have to believe in yourself before anyone else does.

The no’s will come. The doubts will come. The path will twist.

What carries you through is knowing, deeply, why you’re doing it and what you have to share.

That clarity becomes resilience.

From Season 3 of Makers Mindset ✨

In this clip, Monique Rodriguez, Founder & CEO of Mielle Organics, shares how she approaches growth as a leader by staying a continuous student of life.

For Monique, asking for help isn’t a weakness. It’s part of how she learns, evolves, and builds with intention.

A grounded reminder from Season 3 that growth doesn’t happen alone.

From an early Season 1 conversation on Makers Mindset ✨

@sheena of @kosas reflects on a simple but grounding truth: there’s no substitute for time. Skills, confidence, and community all take longer than we expect and not having them early on isn’t a failure.

With perspective comes hope. When you can see what’s grown over time, it becomes easier to imagine what’s still ahead.

“It gave me sound advice in scaling quicker and making sure every penny I spend has a return.”
- Kelly Kussman (@kelly_ward_kussman), Founder & CEO of @caylagrayco

This is the Makers Mindset Accelerator.
Real strategy. Real mentorship. Real results.

For Kelly, the program wasn’t just about growing. It was about growing smarter. From go-to-market to fundraising strategy, she walked away with the tools to scale faster and more sustainably than she could on her own.

You can’t say yes to everything... and that’s okay. ✨

Hilary (@hoffhil) of @sotomethod reminds us that focus beats multitasking every time.

When you’re with your kids, be with them.
When you’re working, be all in.

Because real balance isn’t doing it all — it’s being fully present where it matters most.
