"Every challenge you face is a lesson in disguise. As a Venezuelan immigrant, I learned that when the world doesn't offer you a path, carve your own. Embrace your origins, for they are the foundation upon which you build your unique journey. Your story is your power."

Linda Marigliano's Tough Love

"Like many women, I’ve had to unlearn my instinct to people-please in order to be seen as a “good girl”. Being able to have difficult conversations, voice my needs and trust my gut has been the most important lesson. It makes me a stronger adult, and it makes my creative career & my personal relationships a world better. Constantly people-pleasing isn’t authentic, but being truthful & compassionate really is!"

"Every step a woman takes in the workforce is a giant step for all of our future generations of human-kind.

If your only contribution as a woman in the workforce is to get into a room, a forum, or even just a meeting that didn't have space for a woman before, your career has been worthwhile.

Every time you extend your hand to help another woman move forward in the field of STEM, you are taking her into the world of financial viability, innovation, and a chance to transform the world to be a better place."

"If you are not offered a seat at the table, bring a folding chair and claim your spot. Women are exceptional at anything we set our hearts to do. We can envision, construct, expand, and maintain empires. I believe that in the future, women will lead most of the companies listed on the S&P500, and I am more optimistic than ever about it."

"It's in looking back from the perspective of myself 20 years in the future that I realized just how much I allowed others to define my potential. Women are fed myths their entire lives about what they can't achieve. Together, we break free and empower each other to achieve our highest potential."
