There is no woman who can't spend a little bit of her time with somebody.”“I'm a big believer in the cold email, or the cold DM for the girls, I can't tell you how much happened with Être, because I sent one cold email every day to a woman I didn't know.” Connect with Illana: Être Website: https://www.etregirls.com/ Être Instagram: @etregirlsIllana's Website: https://www.illanaraia.com/Illana's Instagram: @illanaraia Connect with AllisonInterested in working together?

Can finding the right mentor at the right time make all the difference for young women? If you were to ask Illana Raia, she'd say yes. Studies have shown that girls' confidence drops between ages 8 and 14, and many girls start to quit their hobbies and interests before they get to high school. To counter this, Illana Raia founded Être Girls, a company whose mission is to keep girls close to what they love by offering curated free resources and inspiring female role models right when they need them. In today's episode of Celebrations Chatter, Illana shares all about Etre Girls, how her daughter was the inspiration behind it all, and how mentorship changes the lives of so many young women.
