Some stuff in business is straightforward. But other things sit on my to-do list FOREVER. For me, WBE certification was one of those things.
So I`m thrilled to share that I’m officially certified as a Women Business Enterprise (WBE)! 🎉 It took me forever and a day to finally get around to applying, but now that it’s official, I’m proud to stand alongside the hardworking women who are building, leading, and pushing their industries forward every day.
Shoutout to Meg Dela Dingco from the Rhode Island DEB Office for making it smooth and painless, and to Rae Mancini and Jill Berman for nudging me to just do it already, girlfriend.
This whole experience reinforced something I’ve been reflecting on a lot lately: the power of accountability, encouragement, and the right people in your corner. So many of us know what we need to do to grow—but we get stuck. We overthink, we procrastinate, we tell ourselves, I’ll get to it later. But the right conversations, the right push at the right time? That’s what moves the needle.
That’s what I try to build in my own work and the spaces I cultivate—where clarity, momentum, and shared wisdom replace inertia. The WBE process reminded me firsthand how valuable that is.
So, if you’ve got something big on your list that you know will open doors but keeps getting shuffled down… consider this a nudge from lazy ol` me.
What’s something you finally checked off your list that made a bigger impact than you expected?
