International Women's Day, celebrated annually on March 8th, serves as a reminder of the progress and potential of women globally. The article reflects on the evolution of female empowerment, particularly through the lens of female entrepreneurship. It emphasizes that women often face societal pressures to conform to a competitive approach in business, instilling fear alongside excitement in their entrepreneurial journeys. However, the author highlights a shift towards a more heart-centered, sustainable approach to leadership, encouraging women to own their strengths and support each other, which ultimately fosters lasting change and deeper connections in the business world.
