As a single woman business owner in ABA, dance, yoga, and barre for over a decade, I have navigated economic shifts, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and built multiple successful businesses and multiple brick and mortars that blend behavioral science with movement. This presentation will explore the intersection of entrepreneurship, wellness, and self-care, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries, avoiding burnout, and leading with authenticity. Attendees will walk away with strategies for growing a mission-driven business while maintaining personal well-being, inspiring the next generation of female leaders in ABA and beyond.
