Meet Tara
As the founder of SmartSweets and a firm believer in the positive impact women’s visions have in the world, I’m so excited you’ve found Bold Beginnings.
I understand the challenges that female entrepreneurs face—feelings of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and questioning their capabilities. I want to normalize those feelings.
