EP 19: Making Your Own Rules with Olivia June
Always on this show, we are talking with women who are doing things differently.
But as I have come to learn after talking to hundreds of women about their personal journey, not everyone considers themselves a Rule Breaker.
There are two main reasons for this. Some of the people I interview are so unplugged from the expectations of others that they don’t even think about it. And others are sometimes so focused on what they want that the rules are insignificant.
My guest today is a perfect example of someone who lives by the rules, HER RULES, the ones she has made for herself. She has a guiding statement that she comes back to no matter what project she is working on, what business she is launching, or how she is showing up in the world.
Living this way is how she has been able to navigate the many highs, lows, and pivots that are par for the course when you are a woman in the world, let alone mother and female founder.
Olivia June started the tech company, VINA, while living in San Francisco designed to help you make friends (and it made it to Apple’s top app list), had a baby, started another company, and now lives in LA with her new husband, new puppy, and baby number two on the way. You’re going to love learning more about her.
