Fracture. Allow. Thrive.
Heya Femtech Fam!
This year has been an upheaval of fracturing of old beliefs, truths, and plans—forcing me to shift from my masculine energy to lean into my more powerful feminine energy to simply allow.
Instead of wanting to battle the world to make it more fair and just 👉🏼 Allowing myself to seek inner peace to center what I do.
Instead of fighting to schedule meetings back to back to speak with founders, investors, community partners, etc. 👉🏼 Allowing myself to connect with two new people a week to be more intentional on our work and relationships in addition to my own physical and mental well-being.
Instead of rejecting help being offered 👉🏼 Allowing help with immense gratitude.
The more I have allowed in my life, the more control and clarity I’ve gained. The new mental space has given me the audacity to broaden my vision and approach to level Femtech Salon up—I want us to start investing in early stage startups within the next two years at a time where the rest of the market seems to be pulling back.
This is all the while acknowledging that I will forever be a work in progress and that I am learning about how to mobilize a VC the next six months. I am excited about taking Q4 to winter in my self-development and recovery so we thrive next year.
How do you want to thrive? Let’s share notes if you want an accountability buddy!
With positivity and grace,
Rachael
P.S. One of the new productivity hacks I’ve been trying out to keep my boundaries through my Gmail is Boomerang. Two key things I love: you can resend someone’s email back to you in the future if you can’t give it proper attention without getting lost in your inbox and you can easily suggest meeting times. I still use Calendly, but when I want to be more specific on dates/times with someone, it’s been the best!
