You should know what you're risking when you give up your financial independence. When I was young, I determined I would never depend on anyone, if I could help it, for my financial wellbeing.

I get asked the question a lot: WHY did you start Behave? And the answer is a simple one: I started Behave because I saw my needs reflected in more than 50 million women all over the US. I saw there was a huge whitespace that needed filling in the lingerie market, and I felt that I had the perfect idea to fill it with my Wire-free Lounge Bras and Stayz technology! My WHY has never faltered or changed. Behave exists to help large-busted women get comfortable in their bodies and their bras.
Society is essentially telling women to take up as little space as possible, a disempowering message on all levels. The good news is that it’s possible to find the courage to overcome that little voice inside us that wants to keep us “safe.” That's how we grow, and find success.

It literally is what most of us are doing subconsciously.
After I exchanged enough information with the Uber driver to confirm that neither one of us was likely a serial killer, the spotless sedan was quickly filled with enough small talk to occupy the brief ride. "What do you do?" "I'm a writer." "Ah, what do you write?" At the time, I was deep in writing my debut non-fiction book, Raising the Resistance: A Mother's Guide to Practical Activism, and had been busy typing away about feminism, reproductive justice, antiracism, and other topics that don't normally come up during a short Uber ride with a stranger but had consumed my work and much of my life.

I was one of the entrepreneurs lucky enough to enter the cannabis industry at the start of the green rush. From the beginning, I was often one of the only women in the room, whether the meeting was about everyday business practices or government policies.
