Q: What is the biggest lesson you have learned about yourself since starting your business?
A: I need structure. I need to be able to inject fun and freedom into my work. The problem I run into is that it can get chaotic if I don’t create “To Do” lists and schedule reminders.

A: Seeing the “click” in a client’s eyes when they finally see that it’s possible to feel sexy, confident, gorgeous, and even powerful in their clothes.
Q: What advice can you give new and growing small business owners?

Q: What is most important for you and your business?
A: To have fun and keep it flexible. I need to be able to pivot and choose my own adventure each day. Those things can easily be lost when building a business so they have been a big focus for me.

A: I’ve loved styling but felt constrained by brands and I really wanted to show other women that it doesn’t matter your size, age, or shape you deserve to look and feel great.
Q: When did you create your business?

What inspired me as a stylist mentor was seeing SO MANY stylists suffer and struggle and continue the story of “well this is just how it is”. I KNEW there had to be better options so I made it my GOAL to learn how and then share with as many stylists in the world as I could.

“When you know you are of worth – not asking it but knowing it – you walk into a room with a particular power.”
– Maya Angelou
Q: What does confidence mean to you?
A: Believing in yourself. One thing I say to myself ALL THE TIME lately is “Say what you mean, don’t say it mean.” Remembering this one line has helped me become more confident in the way I express myself as a boss, creative, and beyond.
Q: What is the biggest lesson you have learned about yourself since starting your business?
A: I’ve learned so much, but the biggest thing is to trust myself. If a client doesn’t feel like the right fit, say goodbye early, no hard feelings.
Q: What is your favorite part about working with/supporting your clients?
A: I’d say watching them gain confidence in front of the camera is the most rewarding part. It’s no easy feat to hop on camera and be yourself for the sake of your business.
Q: What advice would you give yourself during the first year of business if you could go back in time?
A: Hire earlier! I hired my first team member a year and 3 months in and then ended up bringing on 3 team members in 2 months. I waited too long but you live and learn.
Q: What was most important to you while building your business?
A: Staying true to women working with women. At first, people said I was crazy and I’ve had a few situations where I had the opportunity to change that but it just didn’t feel right. Didn’t feel like me.
Q: Why was it important for you to start this business?
A: I know how daunting social media can be, but I’ve seen firsthand the positive impacts it has had on small businesses and I want every women-owned business to experience the same success, with little stress.
Q: When did you create your business, and what inspired you to start?
A: I run a social media marketing agency, working with women-owned/operated small businesses. I started Valoisa in 2021 after seeing many businesses close having had little or no social media presence.
Q: What is your favorite activity when you aren’t working?
A: I love to travel! With a business and family, it’s not always easy but we try to prioritize travel a few times a year. It always does my soul good to get out of my comfort zone and explore new areas near and far.
Q: What is a personal favorite quote?
A: Honestly, if I picked something it would have just come from a google search. Ha! BUT, I do love (no idea who said it or if it’s an official quote)
“The only person standing in the way of you and your dreams is YOU.”
— Someone

A: To continue the original mission and vision, be relevant in the industry, contribute to our local community, inspire others, and to always work towards keeping our customers happy!
Q: Why was it important for you to go into this business?
A: I was a loyal customer for over 20 years and absolutely loved it. In 1990, Karen Goddard started Mother and Child as a small consignment shop focusing on clothing for mothers and children.
As the business grew the name changed to become M&C Clothing and Gifts which honors its origins while being more reflective of the business today.
My husband and I would always joke and say when the owner is ready to move on, we need to jump in! And here we are!
Q: When did you create your business, and what inspired you to start?
A: M&C Clothing and Gifts is New Hampshire’s premiere retail consignment store, redefining consignment shopping since 1990. We are about so much more than saving money.
By giving clothing a second life, we are a part of a sustainable, conscious community. Consignment is an essential part of our model because it keeps money circulating through our local community and allows for people to Reduce – Repurpose – Reuse – Recycle & Rethink.
Q: What is your favorite activity when you aren’t working?
A: Spending time with my family and fur babies, and I love to spend time at the beach.
Q: What is a personal favorite quote?
