EP30: Connecting female founders with Inbal Claudio

Episode Description Have you ever thought about starting a business as a new mom but were worried about the juggle? Have you ever wondered if it was possible to own two different businesses and thrive? What would your life look like if you believed it was possible to do it all? Come join in on the conversation I have with Inbal from Like Minded Collective, who shares her story of owning two businesses, having two daughters she is the primary parent for, how she handles the messy middle, learns to accept the journey and imperfection, and the magic that happens when women connect and collaborate. Inbal Claudio is the creator of Goldwick Candles, a special brand of candles with infused gold, and the founder of tech company Like Minded Collective. Her mission is to connect and empower female-founded businesses around the globe. Inbal was born in Israel, and aside from a 4-year stint in North Carolina has spent the majority of her life in Southern California, where she currently lives with her husband and 2 little daughters. As a candle maker, turned tech founder, her passion for networking with women entrepreneurs has led her to create Like Minded Collective, a Social media platform for female founders to connect, collaborate, and grow. Inbal manages to hold it all together, taking in stride the journey of entrepreneurship, and the messiness of combining business and motherhood. Her story is inspirational in what women can achieve and is a true testimony that we can do it all (with the right support).
