Why We Created This Community
"Ditch the Heels" was born from the belief that women entrepreneurs need a supportive, authentic space to thrive. After experiencing the power of real connections and collaborative growth among women at a mastermind event, I realized the importance of creating a community where we can be our true selves and build our business through building relationships. We value collaboration over competition. Here, we celebrate our successes, share our struggles, and support each other in balancing all the roles we play. Join us to break down the facade of perfection and grow together, authentically and powerfully.

Hi! I'm Kim
I am an entrepreneur, business owner, wife, mom, Mimi, I love to travel and passionate about building relationships. Being in real estate for more than 28 years I discovered I have a lot to share with others that really apply to any business. Being in an industry where women are abundant but leadership roles are dominated by men, I wanted to create a community for women to share and grow their businesses in ways that resonate with our unique perspectives and experiences. I believe as women if we surround ourselves with other women that value collaboration over competition, love celebrating others success and seeing that when we empower each other we are all stronger together.
