TWU-Center for Women Entrepreneurs

This week’s #WomenOwnedWednesday Daisy Delgado, DSY Lifestyle Tell us about your business. I own DSY Lifestyle, a lifestyle clothing and accessory brand that offers a range of plain and embroidered clothing and hats. Our products are designed to help women express their unique style and confidence. I am dedicated to providing everyone with high-quality, comfortable, affordable fashion. At DSY Lifestyle, we're all about celebrating individuality and self-expression through fashion. What is one thing you've learned as a woman-owned business?    As a women-owned business, I've learned that perseverance and self-trust are key to success. I've learned to keep pushing no matter what, trust my instinct, and even when I think I can't do it, keep going because I can and will. This mindset has helped me overcome obstacles and stay focused on my vision, even when the journey gets tough. What is one tip you'd give to a woman looking to start her business today?   To start, don't wait. Do it, and don't wait until you feel ready or until everything is perfect because it never is. You will figure it out as you go and learn much more by taking that first step.  How do you support other women-owned businesses?    I shop at their stores, share their social media post, leave reviews, and refer them to family and friends. When they ask me a question, I try my hardest to help them, give them any resources I have, and share my experiences. Every gesture counts; collectively, we can create a powerful ripple effect of support and empowerment. Give Daisy a 👏🏽 in the comments.

Tuesday Tip 💡 Don’t be afraid to talk about your business! Your business reflects your hard work, passion, and dreams—own it! Talking about your business isn’t “bragging”; it’s sharing your journey, spreading your vision, and opening doors to new opportunities. Be bold and confident when discussing your brand, Whether at a networking event, in a casual conversation, or on social media. You never know who might become your next client, partner, or biggest supporter! Remember: Visibility is key to growth. So, what’s stopping you from sharing your story today?

This week’s #WomenOwnedWednesday Alexandra Granato-Garcia, Flutura Creative Tell us about your business. Flutura Creative, is a human and heart-centered venture founded by Somatic Practitioner, Alexandra Granato-Garcia. Her modality is intergenerational and restorative, inspired by the majesty of nature and how it mirrors our own lives and cycles to create transformation and illumination. By weaving the creative arts + body based practices we curiously explore the depths and wonder of our being reminding us that we, too, are part of something greater and infinitely beautiful. The result? You become your own healer and find JOY in living in alignment with your most authentic self. What is one thing you've learned as a woman-owned business?    In order to cultivate a sustainable and thriving business, I have learned the importance of continuously resourcing and restoring myself in order to show up fully for my clients while also being intentional about creating systems and strategies that support my vision and mission of impact. What is one tip you'd give to a woman looking to start her business today?   Take some time for yourself in nature. Allow yourself to breathe deeply and soak in the rejuvenating energy of the sun. Close your eyes and center your awareness on your heart. Begin by connecting with your inner desires and how you want to feel each day. From there, you can start envisioning your business and how it aligns with your values. This will set you up for success and bring a sense of fulfillment in both your personal and professional life. Knowing what truly drives you and integrating it into your business is key to creating a sustainable and fulfilling venture. How do you support other women-owned businesses?    I strongly believe in lifting each other up and creating a community of empowered women in entrepreneurship. Through my work, I am able to share resources, offer mentorship, and provide opportunities for transformation and illumination. Additionally, by prioritizing my own self-care and practicing nervous system regulation and integration, I am able to serve as a role model for others and inspire them to do the same. Give Alexandra a 👏🏽 in the comments.
