What it means to Ellivate

To be an Ellivate sister is to be held, supported and challenged to grow with consciousness, acceptance and fierce love.

Women who have participated in Ellivate have experienced tremendous personal and professional growth.

“As a solo entrepreneur, it can feel like you are on an island by yourself. There is no one beside you to bounce an idea off of, ask a question of, or delegate to. I found Ellivate a month after I started my business, and it changed everything. Ellivate is helping me build my business from the ground up. I was able to learn, discover, and implement ideas around my purpose and vision, branding and marketing, sales and technology. It gives me a safe space to be my authentic self and receive support on my life journey.”

Jaclyn Badeau, CPA, CGMA, MBA, Founder of Badeau Consulting

“I am so grateful for each and every one of my Ellivate sisters! We are a community of like-hearted and like-minded women who come together to guide, support and serve one another. Ellivate inspires us to dream, and grow into a better version of ourselves – plus we receive the tools, practices and resources to move our businesses forward. Ellivate has given me the confidence to work at my own pace because I feel supported, valued and loved!” 

– Delfina Falco, Founder of Currency Wellness.

“Ellivate has given me an awesome community of intelligent, savvy, ambitious, beautiful women to get to know and learn from. They share their knowledge and what they’re going through, so you know you’re never alone. Ellivate is a place where I can show up with no pressure and just enjoy connecting with other women who are also doing important work.”

Shaina Jones Magrone, Esq., Founder of Artisan Law

“Joining Ellivate has made all the difference in the world to me and my business! Prior to joining Ellivate, I was floundering and unfocused, lonely and uninspired. Ellivate has provided me with focus, direction and above all, the support I needed to make Exec Wranglers successful. I have never before met a group of women who are so willing and able to unconditionally lift one another up – it inspires me on a daily basis! I love that I can just show up, even when I’m not feeling my best – not only will I feel supported, I will walk away feeling better than before.”

Stephanie Fritts, Founder of Exec Wranglers

“A few years into my entrepreneurial journey, I learned that I did not want be on this path alone. I wanted to surround myself with women leaders and courageous trailblazers who would challenge me, inspire me and, most of all, support me as I reached new heights on my own development journey. This is exactly what Ellivate Alliance is – an aligned and mission-driven community of women that makes it the most single-most significant professional organization I have ever invested in (and I’ve been a member of many professional organizations over the past 2 decades!). As one of our founding members, what inspires me most about Ellivate Alliance is the continued courage we demonstrate to reinvent and redesign this community based on what our entrepreneurial women need most. Ellivate is a beautiful example of what true entrepreneurship is – we are each creating our own unique path to prosperity.”

Mariette Martinez, Founder of Master Your Books

“Sometimes, there are communities where I feel the need to ‘armor up,’ whether it’s against sales pitches or the pressure to hype myself up for my own sales pitch. Ellivate is different. Whenever I show up to an Ellivate event, it feels just like seeing good friends. It is a space of real, authentic connection, where we feel seen, heard and supported. It feels good to have fellow business owners who are on the same wavelength of doing business the right way. We’re just good humans doing good work.”
