"To be a powerful female, chances are you were inspired by another powerful female: Your mom. In honor of Mother’s Day, we chatted with a bunch of kick-ass lady bosses and asked them about what their own mom had taught them that ended up being the key to their success. You’ll learn a lot from these amazing women!

And to me, self-growth is what ultimately fuels me to live a better and true life."
