Take us back to when you launched? What was your marketing strategy?

When I first launched my business, my marketing strategy was all about showing up where my audience was—networking events, social media, and word-of-mouth—but it didn’t always go perfectly as planned. I quickly learned that consistency, relationship-building, and authentic storytelling were what really moved the needle.

Did you always know you wanted to be an entrepreneur?

Her passion for giving back led her to found Team Robbin’s Divas Cancer Foundation, inspired by her own journey as a nine-year cancer survivor.

Do you have any recent wins?
