Introducing, Empowering Women Businesses<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Empowering Women Businesses <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From London, England to the Panhandle of Florida and on to Los Angeles, California each with different backgrounds and upbringings yet with a single mission. That mission is to make a better life for themselves, their families and to help support other women in business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re part of a group created by the businesswoman that owns and operates Best Singing Telegrams of Los Angeles<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. It was her that brought light of their efforts to me and suggested I interview them. This is their story and connection to Embowering Women Businesses<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miranda<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is 31 and was born with one arm. Raised by an alcoholic father in London, England she dropped out of college at 17. While battling her own addictions she held various jobs including one where she signed others up for charitable work. She also dabbled in retail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After her father’s passing when she was 24, Miranda decided to travel. After seeing Australia and Europe she returned home and returned to work once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet still having the urge to travel, she set her sights on India where she fell in love with not only the country but the father of her child as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Miranda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Shannon<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is a mom, writer, mentor and entrepreneur originally from Arizona. A military spouse, she now calls the Panhandle of Florida home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before her marriage, she worked in industrial gas and pharmaceutical sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her spouse’s frequent relocations shaped her journey by making it challenging to establish a traditional long-term career. After becoming a mother, she realized it was easier to stay home. There she was able to focus on raising their children, volunteering, and managing the household during her spouse’s deployments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spending time at their daughters’ schools gave her the unique opportunity to observe the dynamics among elementary school girls. “I was struck by the cruelty and manipulation I witnessed,” Shannon admits. This led her to reflect on her own experiences with similar behaviors. And how much more complex these challenges have become for girls today with the added pressures of technology, social media, and constant connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Shannon Addison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Two Entrepreneurs<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miranda<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and Shannon<\/a><\/em><\/strong> both chose to become entrepreneurs. Not only to add financial stability to their families but as a means to help others as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miranda<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admitting she had “heard of yoga before” and “people kept suggesting I should do it for the back pain I was experiencing from having a limb difference.” Miranda<\/em><\/strong>. said she learned more of yoga while in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Being in India I went to many different classes and fell in love with the practice and the philosophy. When I came back to the UK, as a single mum in 2023, I decided to do my Yoga teacher training. I have completed my 200 hours and have almost completed my 500 hours. I will look to study yoga therapy and Ayurveda in 2025,” offered the yoga instructor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of yoga, she tells me, “Is an endless list. Yoga can alleviate aches and pains and have a positive effect on anxiety and depression. It can help aid the digestive system, regulate the nervous system and help the body in aging. I do weekly YouTube<\/a><\/em><\/strong> uploads with my partner Nicole, and we talk about the benefits of yoga, misconceptions, various techniques and styles. I also have a course in January for empowerment through yoga.” 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miranda, also, set her sights in another direction. One most of us never think of unless it involves someone close to us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I started my clothing brand to help inspire others to be more confident with who they are,” she began. And confides in me with, “I don’t really like the term disability. I feel like that word gives me the biggest drive forward to prove that I am more able than most people I know.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her clothing line encompasses those with disabilities like hers and augments, “I have found the clothing industry to be very difficult to explain to people, how to accommodate people, with disabilities<\/em><\/strong> and small businesses.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I have only one line at the moment, which has been slow with clients. I wish to build out the products and create a kid’s line. However, this will have to wait until later on in 2025 as I have bigger projects in the yoga space first,” she concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shannon<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When I was young,” Shannon<\/em><\/strong> begins, “I was captivated by the idea of finding my way home after getting lost by following a trail of breadcrumbs. I was reminded of it after I had lunch with my daughter at school one day. I watched two girls subtly pick on another girl, completely undetected by the teacher on duty, and it broke my heart.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I went home that afternoon with a mission: to create a brand that would empower girls to be kinder, more authentic versions of themselves. I realized that many girls feel lost and disconnected from their true selves, and because of this, they feel more inclined to intentionally hurt others.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next morning, The Breadcrumbz<\/strong><\/em> were born (with) Penelope Pumpernickel, Rachel Rye, Samantha Sourdough, and Whitney Wheat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These characters, each with their bread-shaped heads and unique personalities, live in \u201cMy Crumby World<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d A place where girls can explore stories, activities, and lessons that help them become more resilient, compassionate, connected, and kind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also a hub for parents, offering tools and resources for friendship, connection, acceptance, and even baking! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I worked with a professional to bring The Breadcrumbz<\/strong><\/em> characters to life, much of the daily content shared on social media is my creation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our new YouTube<\/a><\/em><\/strong> channel, managed by a talented member of my creative team, features short, animated clips and other fun content designed to engage and inspire young viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking plays a central role in our mission to bring families and friends together. My Crumby Guide to Baking and Friendship Making<\/strong><\/em> combines recipes, baking tips, and tricks with stories and activities that help girls build stronger friendships. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our interactive books are truly one of a kind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to stories, they feature recipes, discussion prompts, activities, and even detachable pages that can be shared with others. This hands-on approach helps readers connect more deeply with the lessons and themes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose, Best Singing Telegrams<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Empowering Women Businesses<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter Rose of The Best Singing Telegrams of Los Angeles who created Empowering Women Businesses on Instagram, who says of the social site, “I wanted a place where women business owners could connect and support one another and help each other with any business questions.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Running a small business,” she continues, “can get very lonely and complicated when you don\u2019t have a business partner to run ideas by. So, in a sense I\u2019m trying to create multiple business partners we can all lean on.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose adds that the group, also, has zoom calls\/meetings together to discuss various topics and help each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miranda<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women empowerment has been at the center of my business,” says Miranda. “Meeting so many inspiring women who want to help other women has been something I never knew I was missing.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I have started collaborating with other women and sharing knowledge. My assistant is a woman, and all my students are women. I stand for empowering people, but the community of like-minded women is incredible. “<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shannon<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Within the past year,” says Shannon, “I was honored to join Empowering Women Businesses. A community that has provided incredible networking opportunities with like-minded women who are launching or growing their businesses.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Connecting with other women entrepreneurs is invaluable,” she adds. “Especially as a solopreneur, where the journey can often feel isolating. Being part of this group has given me access to a supportive network of women who truly understand the daily challenges of running a business. Through this involvement, I\u2019ve also been able to leverage various media outlets to amplify my message and share my mission.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I\u2019m passionate about paying it forward,” Shannon concludes, “supporting other women in the organization and helping them grow because I know firsthand just how transformative these connections can be for any woman building her dream.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, Rose goes on to say, “If anyone is interested in joining, we are looking for like-minded women who are looking to continue to grow their small businesses while supporting others and helping each other grow.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d like to applaud Rose, Miranda and Shannon for their contributions not only to my blog but to the world as a whole. Times have changed and not all the walls are tumbling down as quickly for women as they should. Networking is important in this day and age, as is friendships. They are leading the way for others to follow in their footsteps. With that said, I urge other women entrepreneurs to follow suit and connect with them. For the needs of many outweigh the needs of the few and united you shall stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through a growing body of online essays and articles, he explores themes of love, healing, creativity, and perseverance\u2014often at moments when life demands clarity, honesty, and courage. Rick publishes reflective, narrative-driven pieces shaped by both personal experience and cultural observation. His work includes thoughtful commentary on relationships, personal growth, health, and identity, as well as essays documenting his ongoing cancer journey with transparency and purpose. These articles are not written for spectacle, but to offer grounded insight and connection for readers navigating their own challenges. Influenced by Detroit\u2019s art, culture, and community, Rick\u2019s writing carries a strong sense of place while remaining universally relatable. His voice is direct, reflective, and measured\u2014balancing vulnerability with perspective and intention. Across his work, Rick consistently returns to one core belief: that meaningful, honest storytelling has the power to remind people of their value, foster connection, and encourage forward movement, even in difficult seasons","sameAs":["http:\/\/rickollie.com"],"url":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/author\/rickollie\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rickollie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/8K8PH1737381227.jpg?fit=881%2C545&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6xWjK-1TZ","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91886495"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7315"}],"version-history":[{"count":32,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7315\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12539,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7315\/revisions\/12539"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rickollie.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
