TrailBlazers Impact Interviews is a program to guide you along the path as you start a new business or face challenges in your life or need a minute to relax a bit and listen to a story. Some days you want an uplifting, happy story. Some days you just want to survive. You wonder if anyone has ever faced what you are going through. Many of them - of us - have faced major obstacles and somehow have come out the other side on that issue. But we all still struggle every day. By sharing our experiences, we can bond together in a tribe that supports each other. By reaching out our hand to the next person and saying, "I'm here. I'll listen," we know we are OK because we are together.  

In TrailBlazers Impact Interviews, women and men share their secrets to success - and their heartaches -  in extraordinary stories. And some had very rough beginnings - but made it anyway. These stories touch your heart and soul and make you realize it is possible to prevail even in the face of gender bias and/or racial discrimination and to blaze your own trail when there is no clear path ahead. If they can do it, so can you . . . by following their light . . . and then creating a light for the person behind you. 

 If you are over 50 and want to pivot from a career or retirement to start a business, watch our new series, Pivot to SOAR, and look for my "how-to" book coming out soon!
