Before you go down that rabbit hole of despair, stop and think about what’s taking you there. If you’re lamenting what’s lost from the past or fearing the uncertainty of the future, that’s natural. But where you let this feeling take you is up to you.
So turn the car around and head in a different direction. Richard Branson, famed British business magnet, philanthropist and investor, suggests,
“Reading other people’s stories about their journeys in life can give you better perspective of what the journey of change can be about.”
— Branson’s audiobook, “Screw It, Let’s Do It: Lessons in Life.”
WS Changemaker of the Week

Branson’s advice is the reason for WomanScape and this week’s changemaker, who inspires us to start “petalling” (pun intended) in new directions.
Candice Crane is the alchemist and CEO of Petal Sparkling Botanicals. Her product line is inspired by childhood memories of her grandmothers’ unique botanical recipes. Crane defies naysayers who told her this dream was impossible as she balances motherhood with a career in the competitive beverage industry. Read her story HERE.
