Every third or fourth week, I feel like quitting. But I’m not going to get to 80 and be bitter that I didn’t give it a try. So shared one of the inspiring panel guests, Eva Thorne at last night's 2nd birthday celebration of Female Founders Rise 🥳 🥳 Eva was joined by brilliant host Rebekah Clark FRSA, inspiring Annie Bartley and awesome Clare Benson-Geddes creator of the recent amazing FFR 'You've Got What it Takes' media campaign, YeahNice. Together they shared their joint experiences of being female founders - their dreams, the challenges, what helps them flourish and their hopes for what might make the situation better for female founders (more money and more male ally understanding and support please!). After an acknowledgement of all that Emmie Faust - absolute superstar and incredible human being 🎊 🎉👏 - has achieved in the short two years she's been building FFR, thus the event kicked off in inimitable Female Founders Rise style - with honesty, warmth and hope - leading into hours of joyful connection, smiles and laughter. What we need - apart from funds and support - is THIS. 👉✨Positive Connections & Community ✨ Positive connections are a key part of our wellbeing - essential for our happiness, life + work satisfaction and success. They provide: ✨Meaning ✨Inspiration ✨Hope ✨Joy ✨Friendship ✨Perspective ✨Energy ✨More opportunities In community we are part of something bigger than ourselves. ↳We understand we are not alone. ↳The high highs and super low lows impact us all, no matter what stage or size of our business. ↳We share the joys and the challenges. ✨Last night’s Female Founders Rise Community event was just as powerful as ever.✨ Positive connections, support, big smiles and high vibes. The event was held at the gorgeous female-founded venue Kindred London. Huge thank you to everyone involved - inc the brilliant Emmie Faust, Alex Faust, Suki, Axel and Vanessa Shepherd. So lovely getting big hugs in with old pals and clients Thea Brook, CMA Lucy Woolfenden Sally Page Sarah (Platts) Bradbury Sarah Ellis Davies Georgie Janion-Shaw Delphine Koall Yolanda Sissing ❤️ Meeting LI pals IRL Rachel Barber - Content Marketing Claire Habel Tes Macpherson As well as meeting new fabulous founders such as Lucy Taylor Lauren Mucklow and Gemma Alashe Dorothy Molloy Plus many others whose LI details I was too excited to note!
