It’s not easy for women to find their voice or to find their place in the business community.

Today’s guests discuss how they have broken through.

Lauren Marsicano is an attorney, who overcame depression and thoughts of suicide from bullying because of her “size”.

She’s created an organization and conference to help female founders kickstart their business.

Lauren’s women for success is holding her third annual female founders forum September 20-22.

Xenia Marcinko will also be joining us. She is one of Lauren’s successes.

Xenia immigrated to Miami from Venezuela in 2017.

She spoke limited English. Xenia has gone from a person that was uncomfortable speaking in public making presentations to partnering with Bank of America and she helps others connect their brands with people.
