103: How to make the leap into being a full time Founder with Susan Allen Augustin Women Who Lead

You know when you just hear a career story that is so empowering, it makes you want to don a cape and take on the world...? This for me was that. Susan Allen Augustin in founder of Here We Flo, who create sustainable, organic Femcare products for women. She is also coming from a long career in Diversity and Inclusion with Open Society Foundations, so understands what it means to build an inclusive culture.

If you are wondering whether you might want to move into founding your own business, there is sooooo much goodness packed in this episode, as Susan shares her extremely relatable experience of how she got there. We cover things like:


How we need more sponsorship of women and how it’s different from mentorship
Now this is a biggie for so many of us... moving from a life of serving others to serving ourself How to start asking what we really want out of our life and career

There's also a brilliant activity, baked in the middle of our conversation somewhere, but one that you won't want to miss. It is one of the things I swear by, I would simply be lost without them. Look out for it!
