As our idol, Leslie Knope would say, it’s “ladies celebrating ladies.”

If we had to choose between Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day, well lets just say we’d choose chicks before di…well you get the idea. Here are five hilarious reasons why you should be celebrating Galentine’s Day with your girl squad.

Reason Number One: No guys (The most important one, obviously).

That’s right, no more wondering if he’s going to text you back, no more worrying about what to wear on a date, and no more listening to your friends complain about their significant others. It’s just you and the girls, drama-free.

Reason Number Two: Wine

Wine, Wine and oh, did I mention Wine? Grab a bottle (or three) of your favorite vino and cheers to the strong, independent women in your life.

Reason Number Three: Gorge on snacks.

Let’s be real, who needs a man when you have a plate of nachos and a bowl of guacamole? Celebrating Galentine’s Day means you can indulge in all the snacks your heart desires without any judgment.

Reason Number Four: Your Squad

These women in your life will love you for who you are. Unlike men, your girl squad will never judge you for eating a whole pizza by yourself or wearing sweatpants all day. They accept you for who you are and that’s what makes them your ride and die.

Reason Number Five: It’s Basically Christmas Pt. 2.

Let’s be real, who doesn’t love getting gifts? Galentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to give and receive gifts. You can give each other your favorite books, a piece of jewelry with a meaningful message, or a gift card to a local boutique.

In conclusion, Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating the strong, independent women in our lives, so gather your gal pals, grab a bottle of wine, indulge in some snacks, and discuss all the reasons we are so much smarter than men (and should be running the world).

Cheers to strong women – may we know them, love them and be them.

The power of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship, in a graduate's own words:

"Growth is never accidental, it comes from being willing to learn, adapt, and embrace change. After nine months of dedication, reflection, and business development, I proudly graduated from the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF) during the Small Business Association of Michigan Annual Meeting.

Throughout the program, I challenged myself to evaluate every aspect of my business, celebrating what was working while identifying opportunities for growth and improvement. The journey was made even more meaningful through the support of an incredible cohort of women entrepreneurs, the guidance of mentor Gina Jacquart Thorsen, and the leadership of bodespeaks and her team.

A sincere thank you to smallbusinessassocofmichigan for investing in second-stage women business owners and creating opportunities that empower entrepreneurs to build stronger, more sustainable businesses."

— Mary A. Barton, President and CEO of Equitable Accounting Solutions and proud WEF graduate.

Applications for the next cohort are now open. Link in comments.
"Out of failure comes growth – you have to see it as an opportunity." 

bodespeaks joined cuzzinjustin on the strictlyfromnowhere Podcast for an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, embracing your superpowers, and building a personal brand that's actually yours, the wins, the setbacks, and everything in between. And naturally, dropped an f-bomb or two along the way. You don't want to miss it.

AI doesn't treat every source equally; it trusts what's credible, cited, and current, like news coverage.

Showing up in the right places isn't just good PR. It's how the robots (and the humans) get you right.

We sat down with brandonmccraney, founder and Master Blender behind olderaleighdistillery in Zebulon, North Carolina. Brandon spent fifteen years just thinking about whiskey before he finally opened his doors, and even then it took four more years, a dozen rejections, construction delays, and a global pandemic to get there. Two years later, Olde Raleigh had already won Best Micro Distillery in the US.

Check out the latest episode of Happy Hour Hustle, where Brandon shares what it actually took to grow a business through COVID, the military discipline that kept him going when everything else said quit, and how working with people turned out to be the hardest part of the job.
