Some people call what I do mentoring, but I just call it “being a super cheerleader for those who need it and deserve it.” I advise founders on UX + accessibility + ai-enablement. I also connect amazing ai-enabled product makers and builders with other creative scientists. 

I cover most verticals except banking (because of potential conflicts of interest with my day job), but my favorite vertical is healthcare biometrics wearables for at home use.

I’ve lost tons of family and friends, and seeing the hospice care made me realize there has got to be a way to help people leave this world with dignity, at home. I’m trying to improve the world. This is my way of giving back to the community.

The Bravo Group

At Bravo, it was my job to understand the human experience nuances of the US Hispanic market, specifically within the digital realm (online, mobile, offline digital, etc.). I  translated their cultural, experience, and channel-preference nuances into digestible nuggets of information we used to improve their online and offline user experience. 

Since the digital experience plans impacted both real life and virtual life environments, collaboration with creative strategists and other account planners was quintessential for measurable success.

Most people think career reinvention is for young folks. 
Bobbi Brown proves the opposite by doing it in her 60s!

This is her story and the proof that it's "Never Too Late."

It all started in 1995 when Bobbi Brown sold Bobbi Brown Cosmetics to Estée Lauder for a reported $74.5 million at age 38 and signed a 25-year non-compete.

It prevented her from:
- launching a new beauty company
- selling makeup under her own name
- using "Bobbi Brown" for any beauty product

In 2016, Bobbi announced her exit from Estée Lauder.
She waited to be legally free and build again (October 2020). Between 2017 and 2020, she built multiple ventures like...

The George, a boutique hotel in Montclair
A lifestyle site [justbobbi.com](http://justbobbi.com/)

Began experimenting with makeup formulae.
October 26, 2020, marked her comeback as she launched Jones Road Beauty, a clean, minimalist beauty brand.

Jones Road was self-funded with 0 debt, 0 VC money. 
From 2021, the company saw wins like:
- $20M in sales in 2021, profitable within months
- On track to 3x its sales number in 2022
- 2023 projections were 2x of 2022

She leveraged TikTok fully, and at 65, became a sensation there. Her satire video from “Foundation-gate” passed millions of views and 3xed daily sales.
At 60, most people told her to slow down.

She chose to do the opposite and reinvented herself using what she always knew.
world was overwhelmed with over-engineered products.
how women were tired of being told to “fix” themselves.
her instinct to build her first empire

And it worked. 🙌 

Like Bobbi, if you feel like you are “late,” you are not.

You are simply standing at the part of your career where everything finally makes sense.
Your experience is not a weight. It is to your advantage.

P.S. What would you build if you stopped believing it was too late?

I have never done this but need to because of how serious this has become.
LinkedIn team this is for you.
Ryan Roslansky Gyanda Sachdeva (tagging you because I’m running out of options)

I’ve been on LinkedIn since 2006-07.
I am a long-time Premium Business user.
And I support women in corporate and women founders rise.

This platform has been central to my career, my growth, my community, and now as a founder of 2 small businesses.

Since early November, my account has been repeatedly restricted and flagged. 

I don’t use bots.
I don’t use any automation tools.
I’m not part of engagement pods.
And yet, I’m being hit with multiple restrictions and warnings every few days.

I can’t trace back to anything I’ve done.

My support ticket has been open for weeks, and Stewart has tried but we still haven’t resolved the root cause.

Here’s why I’m escalating this:
These restrictions have shut down my primary business channel.
My revenue dropped to ZERO in November and December is heading in the same direction. 💔 

I’m now hesitant to use LinkedIn now from fear....
even message, comment or reply to an in-mail or reach out to my customers because I don’t know what will trigger another restriction.

I want to be clear:
I deeply value LinkedIn and the work being done to keep the platform safe.
But something in the system is hurting a rule-abiding small business founder who depends on this platform to operate.

I’m tagging you both because I’ve run out of paths through regular support channels.

I need help identifying what’s causing this and getting it fixed quickly before my business gets negatively impacted.

Please help and if someone from LinkedIn team knows how I can get help or speak to the right person, I would really appreciate.

The biggest career jump I’ve seen in 2025 started with a woman taking a "step down” after a layoff derailed her goals. 👀 

(This was the best message I got this week. I hope it inspires you)

Mary had spent almost 20 years building her career.
She finally earned a VP of Product role.
And then the company layoffs hit.

At first, she stayed confident.
But even with an impeccable track record… she couldn’t land a job.
For 2.5 years.
She applied to 500+ roles.
Joined every networking and accountability group she could.

But with companies cutting layers in 2024–25…
The ladder she spent two decades climbing simply wasn’t there anymore.

In this market, we can’t think about career the way we did five years ago.
Today, we need to think about building leverage not climbing ladders.

So when a Principal PM role came up, she hesitated.
It meant a huge title drop and a massive pay cut.
After years of working her way to VP… she’d be an IC again. 🫢 

I could see why the decision crushed her.
She told me,
“I’m scared taking this role proves what people always thought… that I was never VP material.”

And a lot of women are being pushed into this exact fear right now.

When we talked, we focused on:
- what would give her leverage long-term
- the mindset and strategies champions use in hard markets

She didn’t take the role as a step down.
She stepped around. Because careers aren’t linear anymore.

And that’s when the real work began.
Inside the company, she looked like every other Principal PM.

1. So we rebuilt her narrative to match how execs think using the language and numbers her SVP and C-level leaders cared about.
2. We upgraded her exec communication.
3. We refined her storytelling.
4. And we engineered sponsors.

Nine months later, her SVP told her they’d never seen a Principal PM operate at this level.
She was promoted to Senior Director with compensation above her former VP role. 🙌 

What looked like a step down became her power move.

When Mary joined Leadership Edge, she told me she didn’t need pep talks.
She needed a pathway built for this market not the one she outgrew.
That’s why she rose again.

If any part of Mary’s story made you think, “this might be me…” and you want support building your comeback, reach out.

P.S. What would you have done in Mary’s place?

#womenleadership #careergrowth #womenintech #careeradvancement

My 11-year-old son T asked me a question last year:
“What’s the point of entrepreneurship if you can’t make the world better?” 🥰 

So when he started his handmade candle business “Eternity by T“ and decided on his own to donate 10% to the Children’s Heart Foundation, I was incredibly proud.

Every year...
1 in 100 babies in the U.S. are born with congenital heart defects.
Many don’t make it. 💔 
T knows that could’ve been him.
And the gratitude is what built this business.

There is still so much research needed to understand the causes and to improve the open-heart surgeries newborns often endure.

That’s why his business is special to him.
And why I’m sharing this today on his behalf (he’s not on social media).

If you’re looking for Christmas or holiday gifts…
His candles might be something meaningful to give.
He hand-makes each one over 3-4 hours.

And who knows…
You might just help save the life of a baby in the process.
Even if you’re not a candle person, they make beautiful, unique décor pieces.
(T says, you will not find anything like this in stores...)

P.S. If you’d like one, message me; he ships throughout the U.S.
♻️ Want to support him? Sharing this post would mean the world to T.

$225k. $475k. $1M. And 2x salary. 4 women in my Founder's Edge program built a 6-figure business without quitting their jobs first. 💃 

Here’s how:
Here are a few stories I hope lift you today and show what's possible in 12 months:

1. Sarah thought she needed to "do this for FREE for testimonials" before she could sell homemade dog treats. 
We applied my "Sales Conversion Framework" and focused only on early customers and cash flow. 12 months later, she built a $225k business from her kitchen, which is profitable.

2. Rina believed she had to quit her corporate job to start anything meaningful that brought her joy.
She began making natural soaps on weekends, used my "Monetization Framework", and stayed consistent. Last year her sales crossed $475k! That's 2X times her salary.

3. Tara assumed side hustles never scale into real income and she would need to undercharge and do it for free.
Using my "Scaling Blueprint", she tightened operations, raised margins, and repositioned her jewelry line. She crossed one million dollars in sales in a year.

4. Neha thought coaching only works if you already have a huge audience and needed to build a personal brand first.
With my "Messaging Framework for High Ticket Sales", she filled her client roster, matched her corporate salary in twelve months, and now has a year long waitlist.

These are the frameworks I wish I had I got laid off and found myself unclear on what I wanted to do career wise. 👀 

They would have saved me years of confusion and second guessing myself.

And that is what I want you to think about today.

The goal for 2026 is not to quit your job tomorrow.
The goal is to build a secure financial backup so your future is not 100% dependent on an employer, economic shifts, or a moment of luck.

Rooting for you. 🥰 🙌 

P.S. Which story feels closest to where you are right now?

#solopreneurship #inspiration #womenintech #leadership #womensupportingwomen

During a crisis, leadership roles still tilt toward men and the psychology behind it is terrifying 👇

Reut Itzkovitch-Malka's 2024 study revealed something that as women we have always felt.

When uncertainty hits, people instinctively default to men as leaders.

None of this happens because of experience or competence or lack of it.
But because stress disrupts the brain’s ability to recognize capability.
And when cortisol spikes, human’s old programming takes over.

Here’s how this shows up for so many women in real life:
1/ A woman can spend years building credibility and results.
2/ And it takes only one crisis for decision-makers forget it in a week.

I hear versions of this every week in tech, finance, education and even government. This happened to me too.

Years ago, I said yes to a crisis assignment that everyone else refused.
I walked in thinking, “If I fix this, people will finally see what I’m capable of.”

But halfway through I realized: I was never meant to succeed. 💔 
I was the scapegoat for a mess that had been brewing long before I showed up.

And when the situation inevitably blew up because it was never salvageable…
A man was immediately brought in as the “steady hand.”

This is when I realized that in a crisis, women don’t become less competent. People simply become worse at seeing competence.

Once you understand that, you start looking at your whole career differently.

Inside SheTrailblazes, we see a pattern consistently:
- Brilliant women get overlooked the moment there’s chaos.
- Less-experienced men suddenly get labeled “strong leadership material.”

It’s unfair BUT it’s also predictable.
And what’s predictable can be planned for.

You cannot out-perform unconscious bias when a system is under pressure.
But you can build influence, identity, and visibility before the pressure hits.

And that’s exactly what so many women inside SheTrailblazers are doing…
so when crisis arrives, their value doesn’t vanish with the stress.

P.S. Have you ever seen a capable woman be skipped for an opportunity during crisis?

#womenleadership #careergrowth #womenintech #careeradvancement #leadership

I left my C-level role because I had a front-row seat to a problem no one wanted to admit. 💔 
Wickedly smart women were doing everything right… and still not rising.

That’s why I started SheTrailblazes.
Because it became impossible to look away.

And yesterday, this message from a woman who attended my September workshop reminded me exactly why I do this work:
1. Recognized by her leadership
2. Praised by a GM for strategic thinking
3. Getting promoted to Director in Feb

Followed by:
“NONE of this would have happened without your workshop.”
And:
“Every woman in tech MUST attend this.” 🥰 

As I’m prepping for my December 2nd workshop, this reminder couldn’t have come at a better time.

Because here’s the truth very few women hear honestly:
Hard work gives you more hard work.
But being seen as a strategic leader?
That requires a completely different set of skills.

The advice that helped early in your career...
 “Speak up more.”
 “Work more.”
 “Be confident.”
 “Find a mentor.”
 “Lean in.”
…has an expiry date.

At senior levels, decisions get made for entirely different reasons.

Executives don’t promote you for doing more.
They promote you when they’re confident you make them look like they made the smartest talent decision of the year.
And that shift requires two things...the two levers I teach over and over:

1. Engineer the right executive sponsors
Not mentors. Not allies. But exec sponsors who stake their political capital to insist on your growth.
You don’t “earn” sponsors by accident.
 You create them through the right conversations at the right altitude.

2. Communicate like someone operating two levels up
Your manager cares about how well you execute.
Executives care about how you think and operate commercially.
When your work reflects this you become sponsorable.

That’s when leaders stop seeing you as the "DOER" and start seeing you as someone who changes the business.

And that is exactly the transformation I’m preparing women for inside the Dec 2nd workshop.

Every day I speak to women who are exhausted from repeating the same year over and over.

If 2026 is the year you want to rise differently, I hope you join me and the most amazing women who already are.

P.S. Do you want 2026 to be the year you rise? Tell me in the comments.

The woman who forced Big Tech to rethink dominance. 
Her journey matters for your next chapter. 👀 

Here’s how Lina Khan’s career shows senior women’s unstoppable influence doesn’t require staying in 1 lane:

Lina Khan was born on March 3, 1989, in London. 
Her family moved to the US when she was 11. 
She studied political science at Williams College and graduated in 2010.
She was also editor of the student newspaper and completed a thesis on political thought. 
Later, she earned her law degree (J.D.) from Yale Law School in 2017.

The same year she published what became one of the most influential papers challenging Big Tech’s dominance. 
Her paper on Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox challenged how tech dominance was defined and how innovation gets blocked.

As a policy researcher, she observed that a few companies controlled entire sectors and the laws remained stuck in the past.

- She didn’t wait for permission or for someone to give her credibility.
- She used deep expertise and conviction to launch antitrust actions against tech giants like Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft as Chair of the Federal Trade Commission.

What I believe we, as women, can learn from her journey is:
1/ You don’t need to stay in the same job or title to make an impact.
2. Your deep knowledge matters most when you decide to act on it.

"Strategic Influence" happens when you identify a "system failing" and show how we will fix it.

Lina’s path reminds us that at the senior level you’re not just a leader in your domain. You can be a re-definer of your domain.

If you’re a senior woman wondering where your next chapter leads, remember that the map you need does not exist yet.

You can be the one to draw it.

Women rarely pause to celebrate themselves.
But we never forget to celebrate everyone else’s milestones. 🤢 

And honestly?
For everything 2025 has demanded from us… I don’t need a science-backed explanation for why women avoid spotlighting our wins. 

I see it every day.
I’ve seen women leading multimillion-dollar businesses still apologize before sharing their accomplishments.

Somewhere along the way, we started confusing humility with shrinking.
We downplay.
We rush past our wins.
We tell ourselves “it’s not a big deal” and move on to the next thing without taking a breath.

And THIS is exactly why I’m hosting our Year-End Virtual Celebration for women on Dec 11th. 🥳 💃 

We only do this once a year and the energy in the room is always unreal.

Most of us won’t give ourselves even one hour to celebrate what we survived this year. Let’s not end the year like that.

Women deserve more than surviving day to day..

This is the space where we don’t apologize for our achievements.

We own them.
Together.

Come as you are.
Bring your favorite boba (or whatever feels comforting).
Join us for one lighthearted, inspiring hour with incredible women like you.

Let’s end this year that way loudly and unapologetically.

✨ Celebrate you here- https://luma.com/v1n6voaz

6 brilliant women changed the world. 
None got the credit they deserved. 🤢 

Their stories matter for every senior woman who has ever been overlooked or underestimated.

1. Colette
She wrote four bestselling novels including the Claudine series under a pen name of her husband’s that made him famous while she stayed invisible.
Years later she rebuilt her career under her name and got nominated for Nobel.

Lesson: Your talent is not defined by who gets the spotlight first.

2. Margaret Keane
For nearly a decade her husband sold her paintings as his own. She worked 16-hour days behind closed doors until she finally proved the truth in court by painting live.

Lesson: Your work speaks louder than theft. It just needs the right stage.

3. Jocelyn Bell Burnell
She discovered radio pulsars, one of the greatest findings in astrophysics. Her male colleagues won the Nobel Prize without mentioning her.

Lesson: Being overlooked does not erase your brilliance. It exposes flawed systems.

4. Lise Meitner
She co-discovered nuclear fission, but her colleague won the Nobel alone. Her contribution was written out of history for decades.

Lesson: You can be the mind behind the breakthrough even if others take the credit. Truth outlasts bias.

5. Rosalind Franklin
Her X-ray photos proved the structure of DNA, yet her male peers published first and got the Nobel.
Her work was the foundation. They got the legacy.

Lesson: Doing the foundational work is leadership, even when unrecognized.

6. Esther Lederberg
She advanced bacterial genetics, but her husband took the spotlight.
He won the Nobel and never mentioned her once.

Lesson: Shared work is not shared recognition. Build a career where your name is tied to your impact.

Here is what these stories tell senior women today:
💔 Your contributions may get overlooked.
💔 Your ideas may get taken.
💔 Your leadership may get minimized.

But history shows this clearly.
Women have always been talented. They just were not always given the credit.

If you are a senior woman shaping your next chapter, remember this:
Your work deserves your name on it. 💖 🙌 

P.S. If you want to build a career where your work, leadership, and influence are unmistakably tied to your name, my newsletter breaks down real strategies senior women use to rise with clarity and power.

Yale analyzed thousands of manager evaluations across multiple companies.
Another team studied ~30,000 promotion documents at a major U.S. retailer.

Both studies found the same thing:
Women weren’t underperforming.
In fact, they received higher performance ratings on average.

Yet they were still…
14% less likely to be promoted each year. 🤢 

Here’s what the data makes it impossible for women to ignore:
→ Managers consistently underestimate women’s leadership potential.
Not performance. Potential.

At the retail chain, women made up 56% of entry-level roles.
But at every rung, their numbers dropped.
Why?

Because managers assumed men would grow into leadership faster.

This is one of the biggest reasons why SheTrailblazes was born 7 years ago.

Even when women outperform men later, their potential scores stay lower.
The ceiling never fully resets.
Their upside stays invisible.
Their long-term value is underestimated even when the results say otherwise.

This is the moment so many women realize that merit and hard work alone don’t move us forward.

And the problem isn’t “confidence.”
It isn’t “speaking up.”
It isn’t “leaning in.”

The real problem is the perception of future value.

Here’s one shift I see that moves women forward the fastest inside SheTrailblazes:

You cannot wait for people to notice your potential. You must pre-frame it.**
I call this “The Pre-Framing Rule”. 👀 

It sounds like:
“Here’s how this work ladders into next year’s strategy…”
“Here’s why this decision unlocks X for the business…”
“Here’s the longer-term opportunity this creates…”

These is how strategic framing works that signals:
You already thinking, operating and communicating at the next level.

Because if you don’t shape the story of your future value, someone else will and the data shows they will always underestimate it.

Rooting for you! 🙌 

P.S. What do YOU think signals future potential of someone?
