Built to Shine How Women Are Leading with Intention, Not Permission By Marilee Nies
We’re not waiting to be noticed —we’re rising, radiating, and rebuilding futures from the inside out. As women in business, we carry more than titles. We carry light. We carry stories of resilience, creativity, and the unwavering belief that our purpose is louder than our fear. I’ve walked the messy road of starting from scratch—of overthinking every move, feeling stuck, and wondering if my dreams were too much. What I found instead was that the greatest success comes not from perfection, but from showing up with intention. Through my journey as a fashion entrepreneur, boutique owner, speaker, and creativity coach, I’ve learned that joy and strategy are not opposites. We don’t have to sacrifice one to build the other. My work now centers on mentoring women who feel called to more—women who are bold enough to admit they’re scared but brave enough to keep moving.
