"To Build Community, You Have To Give Back Before You Take” (Whitney Hartshorn On Building Woven)

Today Kristina is chatting with real-life friend and community builder Whitney Hartshorn, founder of Woven. Woven is a boutique clothing and styling studio for women by women. The business was born from a desire to change how women feel in their clothing and the spaces they shop. In this episode Whitney shares her emotional pivot from the finance industry to entrepreneurship, and the pivotal moments that shaped her path and her community.

Tune in to hear:

• The value of slow growth, authentic connection, and how giving back can build loyal communities. 
• Facing the fear of rejection.
• How to say “no” with grace while keeping partnerships alive.
• Navigating friendships that shift with success.
• How Whitney grew her in-person business from an e-commerce site. 
• And more!

If you’re dreaming of building an in-person community, struggling with partnerships, or looking to create a business that reflects your heart, this episode is packed with exactly the wisdom and encouragement you need.
