Alicia Bernbaum, Entrepreneur 

Alicia Bernbaum is a video producer and director, program manager and creative director. She has been producing and creating content for almost a decade. Almost 7 years ago she discovered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help with her moderately severe anxiety that was impacting her ability to do the things she wanted to do, live boldly and curiously. It completely changed her life. She is a certified Jack Talk Speaker for Jack.org a youth mental health charity. She now does talks on her experiences with CBT and is working on changing the game with a new media company to shorten and strengthen the roadmap for young adults to get the help they need with anxiety.

Tatum Blize, Beauty Counter  

As an Independent Consultant with Beautycounter, Tatum is part of a new wave of entrepreneurs who are leading the charge in the clean beauty industry, challenging major corporations and government agencies to be more transparent about the ingredients in personal care products. Tatum’s story is extremely familiar to many women — originally a stay-at-home mom, Tatum wanted to create a career for herself that was financially and spiritually rewarding, but she also wanted to have a flexible schedule so she could pick up her kids from school. Three years later, Tatum is in the top 2% of Beautycounter consultants and has created a job she is extremely proud of in one of the fastest-growing industries in the world (the organic and natural beauty industry is touted to reach $22 billion dollars by 2024). Tatum believes that when any woman combines their own fierceness, passion and drive, they can achieve anything.
