Do you feel you have to leave the best parts of yourself at the door in order to make others happy? This week’s guest on Becoming PowHERhouse, Jill Osur, felt this way when she made the decision to start her own business. Jill gave herself the permission to use her voice and asked herself as a leader in the wine industry, what was she doing to be part of the solutions she wanted to see in the world.

With her birthday right around the corner, CEO & founder of Wilcox Financial Group and PowHERhouse Money Coaching, Nicholle Overkamp can’t believe this is her life. From starting her company at age 25 to still going strong TEN years later, she is worlds ahead of where she ever thought she’d be. Nicholle was told countless times that she’d never be successful and was destined to fail. She proved them wrong, but becoming powHERhouse didn’t happen overnight. As she turns 36 in a few days, she quips that owning a business (which is totally different from being an expert in your craft!) never gets easier, but it does get more fun!
