Girl Boss | Tiffany Aufmann of Dough and a Dear

Girl Boss Tiffany Aufmann of Dough and a Dear

Totally inspired by Sophia Amoruso’s book of the same name, Girl Boss is a series focused on fierce, determined women who go with their gut and create their dream businesses in the process.

Girl Boss Tiffany Aufmann of Dough and a Dear

I’ve been internet buds with Tiffany from Dough and a Dear for awhile now. She’s one of those people that I can’t for the life of me remember how I connected with, but I know I can count on her social media for a nice hunk of snarky reality and some giggles. Also, I can count on her to make me drool with pictures of her pretty doughnuts. It doesn’t matter that I can’t eat them (gluten, I’m fist shaking at you!). Just looking at them makes me happy.

As Tiffany launches a Kickstarter to take her doughnut biz out of her little kitchen and into a secondhand food truck, I thought it would be a great time to take a look at a total boss as she tries to uplevel her dream.

Girl Boss | Lisa Goldbaum of YummyHealth

Girl Boss | Lisa Goldbaum of YummyHealth

Totally inspired by Sophia Amoruso’s book of the same name, Girl Boss is a series focused on fierce, determined women who go with their gut and create their dream businesses in the process.

When I was introduced to the work Lisa Goldbaum has done with her company YummyHealth, I experienced one of those moments when you become totally jealous that you didn’t think of something. You know those moments, right? The kind when someone has taken an experience you’ve struggled with and come up with a solution that works—and well.

Unsatisfied with the so-called “healthy” snack options on the market for kids, Lisa didn’t just shrug her shoulders and throw her hands in the air. Instead, she took action and created a line of quick, healthy snacks that provide kids with a burst of energy without the crash that comes after eating a lot of sugar and processed starch.

For more on Lisa and the inspiration behind YummyHealth as well as thoughts on balance, procrastination and turning a passion into a business, keep reading!

Girl Boss | Brittany Henson of Grain & Dot

I am a total sucker for funny phrases in pretty type, so it should come as no surprise that I’m a huge fan of Grain & Dot‘s fabulous paper goods. With fun, witty little sayings, quotes from my favorite TV shows, and uplifting hand-lettered messages, Brittany Henson’s work is everything I love: quirky, refreshing, positive, and fun.

Girl Boss | Kailee Wright and Megan Papworth

Girl Boss | Kailee Wright and Megan Papworth of Stay + Co

Totally inspired by Sophia Amoruso’s book of the same name, Girl Boss is a series focused on fierce, determined women who go with their gut and create their dream businesses in the process.

Girl Boss | Kailee Wright and Megan Papworth of Stay + Co

I’m not exactly sure how I discovered the gorgeousness that is STAY + Co. (although Instagram would be a pretty decent guess), I just know that as soon as I found them I fell in love. Their simple, beautiful aesthetic is just so calming. Featuring lots of neutrals and classic designs with the occasional happy burst of color, their pieces are timeless. The more I saw of their work, the more I wanted to know about the powerhouse team behind the brand. I’m so glad they found some time to share more about themselves and their business!

about the momma

Hi! I'm Jen, a freelance writer and girl mom who loves reading the newest children’s books as much as I love a good psychological thriller. I believe fiercely in the power of kindness, empathy, and really good quality chocolate. When I'm not knee-deep in glittery crafts and girl talk, you can probably find me sprawled out on my couch in the middle of a Netflix marathon with dark chocolate smeared on my face. The struggle is real. Learn more about me here.
