For many entrepreneurs – especially those in women’s health – experiences with fear, disease, and disempowerment are the fuel for innovation. Many founders innovate to create the products they wish existed in their darkest hours. They innovate to find purpose and meaning from desperate circumstances. And most of all, they innovate to heal not only themselves but also others suffering from similar conditions and circumstances.

Bethany understands first-hand the skills needed to push through the darkness and transform fear into purpose and entrepreneurship.
