"I opened my boutique in May 2025 and started working with Angela part-way through the summer. As an experienced bra fitter, I felt confident in the fitting and client side of the business, but struggled with some of the operational aspects, particularly setting up the financial structure of the business and navigating supplier relationships. Working with Angela has been game-changing for both me and my business. One of the first things we tackled together was reassessing several pre-booked inventory orders that I felt were no longer the right fit for the store. With Angela’s guidance, I confidently cancelled those orders, which saved the business thousands of dollars during a critical stage of operations. She also encouraged me to take a more strategic approach to inventory buying by testing new brands and key styles thoughtfully before overcommitting to inventory. Our monthly coaching sessions have covered everything from strengthening my personal money mindset to building systems that support long-term growth. We’ve analyzed pricing, inventory buying, my technology stack, financials, and strategies for creating a healthier, more sustainable business overall. More recently, Angela encouraged me to re-evaluate pricing on some of my strongest sellers to create healthier and more consistent margins. Angela’s understanding of the intimate apparel industry has helped me accelerate the growth of my business while increasing my confidence in areas where I had less experience. She has helped me better understand my numbers, streamline my inventory, and identify opportunities for growth and development. Beyond the operational side, Angela has also been an incredible source of reassurance and perspective. She’s helped me stay focused on what truly matters for sustainable growth, celebrated the wins alongside me, and been a voice of reason when I want to “buy all the things.” She’s also provided thoughtful guidance through challenges with suppliers and clients alike. The first year of business comes with a tremendous amount of trial and error, and having someone experienced to share ideas with and provide honest feedback has been invaluable. Since opening in May 2025, the business has experienced significant growth, growing from under $2,000 in sales during my first month of business to consistent five-figure monthly sales within the first year, all while operating the boutique as a solopreneur. Having Angela by my side has made that growth feel far less overwhelming, and I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance, industry knowledge, and support."
