We’re getting pretty excited around the Hot Mommas Project in preparation for our November 2 webcast.
I think a couple conversations sum it up best.
Conversation #1.
It started like this:
Me: Well, there’s good news and there’s bad news.
From fortune cookie to helping entrepreneurs in the food industry attain good fortune, Lori Saitz takes us on the entrepreneurial twists and turns of her company Zen Rabbit. Step 1: “Surround yourself with people who love, support and ‘get’ you.” Read More…
Michelle embraces true power by taking on a topic most don’t talk about, much less bear their souls in a published case study. Get a fly on the wall look at this silent, growing trend “…My personal and professional confidence was all a show: inside, I was a terrified, self-loathing mess, unable to deal with criticism, confrontation, or my own feelings.” Read More…
Got a “Girl on Fire” in your life? Want to help one? Now’s your chance.
Here’s what you’ll need:
5 minutes
A few braincells
A good soul
Two – three sentences (250 words or less, please)
March 8 is International Women’s Day. In celebration of that, and our nominated Hot Mommas Project case authors, we’d like to know:
What’s the #1 piece of wisdom you’d share with a “Girl on Fire”? Aka – a high potential girl emerging to a young woman.
When Nigella Lawson – famous British chef – refused to airbrush her stomach for a TV promotion… many probably thought “A – MEN!”

Eating disorder statistics provided by the National Eating Disorder Association indicate that 10 million American women suffer from eating disorders.
The Hot Mommas Project is an award-winning leadership project increasing confidence of women and girls through exposure to role models. Our founder teaches the nationally award winning Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership at the George Washington University School of Business, Center for Entrepreneurial Excellence.

…Brenda is a CEO who was told “you can’t.”

What is your story?
You’ve often heard us joke (and whine) about balance, but Lydia Fernandes of MotivMode went straight for joy. Her daughters inspire her to find it. Think “tutu.” “My daughter began crying in the mornings about not wanting to take the bus to school….Helping her daughter use that self-awareness to work through…the situation…was this child’s first taste of self-empowerment.” Read More…
Let us count the ways we heart Jen Sterling, founder of Red Thinking. Boy does this woman know how to rock the mentors. “Jen hung up the phone in her office at Red Thinking, a branding and marketing company. Her company is experiencing “growing pains” yet again and it is time to make important decisions. Balancing scale, identity and time available.The clock was ticking.” Read More…
