Tell us about your Business: Hi, I'm Heather, and I'm a certified life and somatic (dealing with the body) coach.

I help MilSpouse Entrepreneurs create their own recipe for sustainable work/life integration, without giving up what they want most, so they can pursue their own passions now. That's my quick overview, but what that really means is I empower milspouse entrepreneurs to fill their own cup first, so they're not trying to poor into everyone else from an empty cup. I help them to realize and claim what they truly want to pursue to align with their purpose, so their new way of loving themselves really does allow them to poor from a full cup.

Why should you win? I'd be honored to be chosen for the 2024 MSEA as a way to take my next steps forward in my business. I'm currently a "team" of one. I have dreams of growing my revenue to a place where I can hire other military spouses, so they can experience the same flexibility in their schedules as I've come to have, and they can continue to support their service member and household, while doing something meaningful to them, in a way that works for their unique lifestyle. Thank you for considering me! tw_user 37 Weeks

Business Name: Stay Lucky Supply

Business Website: www.shopstaylucky.com

Tell us about your Business: Stay Lucky Supply Co represents the culmination of years of experience, passion, and a strong desire for stability amidst cross-continent moves and false starts. This brand was born out of a need to create something that could adapt with me, fuel my creativity, and give back to the communities that have supported me so generously.

What began as a small e-commerce venture and occasional entry to craft fairs has blossomed into something much greater. Stay Lucky is a brand that celebrates individuality, creativity, and a unique sense of style, offering unisex apparel and a size-inclusive pricing model to help people feel confident in their own skin. I enjoy bringing someone’s vision to life. Party shirt season (if you know, you know) has become a favorite military tradition for my business. I’m proud to be a local, military family-owned option to purchase from.

However, I believe the true magic of Stay Lucky lies in my commitment to giving back. Through our fundraising apparel initiatives, we strive to make giving back accessible, local, affordable, and easy. Whether working with school teams, squadrons, community purple-up initiatives, or causes in my community such as military PTSD awareness, we are dedicated to making a positive impact in our community.

In addition to our philanthropic efforts, my business and flexible schedule have helped me prioritize volunteer work and community engagement. From participating in career days at local schools to teaching classes on design platforms such as Canva for military and spouse groups, and volunteering with the M&FRC and other base organizations on marketing, we are deeply invested in supporting and uplifting our community. Another example highlighting how I’ve used my business and the experiences gained from it to help the community is the Tri-Base Small Business Co-Op, a non-profit private organization I helped establish to provide fellowship and support OCONUS military and spouse business owners in the tri-base UK area while stationed there.

As I continue on this journey with Stay Lucky, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to give back to the community that has made my dream a reality. For me, the ability to support and empower others is the true magic of this business. It’s also hard to beat seeing your hard work and creative soul out there on someone’s shirt or hoodie. That’s pretty neat too.

Why should you win? I am honored to have been nominated as a finalist for the 2024 Military Spouse Entrepreneur Award and share that title with this group of incredibly talented individuals. Being nominated was a true “light bulb moment” for me. Once the wave of excitement started to lapse, gratitude quickly turned to self-doubt…why should it be me? How often do we pass up an opportunity because it means putting ourselves out there? There’s something to be said about the fact that I can lead events on empowering military spouses while also hesitating to do the same for myself. So I share this moment as part of my story because I believe there is power in acknowledging the doubt and hesitation just as we would the wins. In this wild, wonderful, turbulent life it is SO easy to feel like you’re the only one not quite crushing it.

And given the challenge of running a business around military life, how could we not wonder? As military spouses, we navigate unique challenges such as frequent relocations, deployment separations, and balancing family responsibilities. Now add the trials of starting and running a successful small business. From navigating OCONUS moves and SOFA challenges to figuring out how to stay motivated and tapping into the power of community, we face many hurdles on the road to success. With the help of amazing organizations like AMSE, we are making strides to tear those barriers down. But there is still work to be done and I would love to be a part of that. This endeavor is something that winning the 2024 MSEA could help me achieve.

One way we help military entrepreneurs deal with these challenges is to bring them to light. This is why I believe it is so important to share our stories. If those around me had not shared their roadmaps for success, triumphs of overcoming challenges, and perhaps most importantly - shared how they failed and how they chose to pivot rather than give in I would not be where I am today. Winning the 2024 Military Spouse Entrepreneur Award would allow me to share my journey and experiences with an even wider audience.

I am thrilled at the opportunity to lead initiatives that support military spouses in their entrepreneurial endeavors and help them overcome personal obstacles. Being recognized with the MSEA award is not only an honor but also a chance to motivate others to realize their potential and value despite any challenges they may face.

The community support and volunteerism my work has allowed me to participate in are values that I am committed to nurturing as my business expands. I am confident that the resources provided by the MSEA award will enable me to continue this work and open up new doors for growth and success. I am excited to celebrate our achievements together and look forward to creating more opportunities for military spouse entrepreneurs in the future. Let's continue to pave the way for success within our community!

Business Name: Core Solutions Group LLC

Business Website: https://coresolutionsgrp.com

Tell us about your Business: At Core Solutions Group, we're all about optimizing your business! We specialize in giving small businesses, corporations, and government agencies a boost through administrative support, data management, and expert consulting in government contracting. Our goal? To help our clients do more with less.

Back in 2021, we kicked off our company with a focus on case management services for government agencies, primarily the Army National Guard, drawing on our founders' deep expertise. But as the business and government landscapes evolved, we quickly pivoted. We discovered our knack for process optimization and data management and dived into the complex world of government contracting to help other businesses find their way.

Our main services include all-around administrative support—think process optimization, records management, and comprehensive front and back office assistance—plus we’ve kept up our case management services. When it comes to data management, we collaborate closely with our clients to develop or refine software that meets their specific needs, with a particular knack for Oracle and Oracle APEX platforms. And in government contracting, we guide small businesses from their first steps all the way to bidding on contracts, not to mention our new web app, GovCon Core Apps, which makes market research and sourcing contracts a breeze.

Since we started, we’ve helped over 100 small businesses streamline their government contracting strategies and supported government agencies in managing their data and pulling off seamless events and conferences. Our efforts have landed us some shiny awards, including the Government Contractor of the Year and the Record Breaker of the Year award at the 2023 Minority GovCon Business Summit. We've even made waves in publications like the Virginia Diverse Chamber of Commerce’s December 2023 DBE Dispatch Newsletter, Wyoming Tribune Eagle, and Canvas Rebel.

Our military connection, including a big move from Wyoming to Florida, has not only tested our resilience but also expanded our perspective, boosting our flexibility and fortifying our adaptability.

Looking ahead, we’re pumped about expanding the reach and capabilities of our GovCon Core Apps, aiming to make an even bigger impact. We’re committed to helping our clients expand their horizons.

Every challenge and victory fuels my passion for business optimization. Representing military spouse entrepreneurs is an honor, and I’m thrilled to keep pushing the boundaries of innovation and service.

Why should you win? The resilience developed through my journey as a military spouse has been instrumental in shaping the adaptability and growth of Core Solutions Group. Each new challenge has taught me vital lessons in flexibility, resilience, and perseverance—qualities that have inspired the innovative strategies we implement in our business. Winning the 2024 MSEA would not only be a tremendous honor, validating our business achievements and strategies, but also a profound acknowledgment of the strength and potential of all military spouses in the entrepreneurial arena. It would highlight that success is achievable, and sometimes, all it takes is the willingness to pivot and push forward.

Business Name: Kids-Friendly Tours

Business Website: www.kidsfriendlytours.com

Tell us about your Business: Kids-Friendly Tours, LLC is a travel company founded with a unique mission in mind: to empower solo parents, particularly those in military families, to reclaim their sense of adventure and explore the world with their children. The company understands the challenges faced by solo parents, especially when a spouse is frequently away due to military deployments.

Drawing from the personal experience of a military spouse, Kids-Friendly Tours recognizes the need for solo parents to have opportunities to create lasting memories with their children despite the absence of a partner. The founder understands firsthand the difficulties of maintaining a sense of normalcy and adventure while juggling the responsibilities of parenting alone.

The core philosophy of Kids-Friendly Tours is to provide adult-centric itineraries that cater to the interests and needs of solo parents, while also ensuring that children are well-accommodated and engaged throughout the journey. By offering specially curated tours and travel packages, the company aims to remove the logistical barriers that often deter solo parents from embarking on adventures with their children.

One of the key features of Kids-Friendly Tours is the flexibility it offers. By providing accommodations and activities tailored to families, solo parents are not restricted in their choice of destinations. Whether it's exploring the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, embarking on a safari in Africa, or discovering the cultural treasures of Europe, solo parents can confidently travel anywhere in the world knowing that their needs and those of their children are prioritized.

By facilitating meaningful travel experiences, Kids-Friendly Tours seeks to empower solo parents to embrace the spirit of adventure and create cherished memories with their children. Through carefully crafted itineraries and unwavering support, the company aims to inspire confidence and foster a sense of connection among solo parents and their families, regardless of the challenges they may face.

Why should you win? I believe I should win the 2024 Military Spouse Entrepreneur Award because Kids-Friendly Tours, LLC embodies the spirit of resilience, innovation, and empowerment that defines the military spouse community. As a military spouse myself, I understand the unique challenges and sacrifices that come with supporting a partner who serves our country.

Through Kids-Friendly Tours, I have channeled my personal experiences into a mission-driven business that not only addresses the needs of solo parents but also celebrates the adventurous spirit of military families. By creating adult-centric itineraries with kids' accommodations, I am empowering solo parents like myself to reclaim their sense of adventure and explore the world with their children, despite the challenges of military life.

My company is not just a travel agency; it's a support system and a beacon of hope for solo parents who often feel overwhelmed and isolated during deployments. By offering flexible and inclusive travel options, I am breaking down barriers and providing opportunities for families to reconnect and create lasting memories.

Winning the 2024 Military Spouse Entrepreneur Award would not only be a personal honor but also a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of military spouses everywhere. It would shine a spotlight on the importance of supporting entrepreneurship within the military community and inspire other spouses to pursue their dreams despite the obstacles they may face.

Business Name: Aura Palms to include Aura Digital Consulting, The WFH Milspo, Milspouse Virtual Solutions, and the Start Up Collective

Business Website: auradigitalconsulting.com, thewfhmilspo.com, milspovirtualsolution.com

Tell us about your Business: Aura Palms Digital Media Group is the umbrella above Aura Digital Consulting, The WFH Milspo, Milspouse Virtual Solutions, and The Start Up Collective

Aura Digital Consulting is a boutique digital design firm led by Lauren Lomsdale.

At Aura Digital Consulting Firm, we understand that your brand is your business’s identity. We want to create a cohesive brand and strategy that works for you and your niche clients.

Lead by Lauren Lomsdale, web designer and marketing consultant, Aura Digital Consulting is committed to making sure each client gets the one-on-one service they need. No client is farmed out to a virtual marketing assistant — every single client’s web design, marketing strategy, and digital design is done by Lauren while small tasks like scheduling and copywriting are handed to the client’s personal virtual marketing assistant. We recognize that the face of marketing is changing, and Aura Digital Consulting is able to match the flow of the market and social media game to your life. Not only do we understand how important your online brand is to you, but we also understand that your business strategy needs to work for your lifestyle.

Aura Digital Consulting Firm wants to ensure that you are supported as you continue your journey beyond your project with us. We give you the tools you need to be successful in your business and the knowledge on how to apply those tools during your time with us.

The WFH Milspo teaches military spouses skills they need to become creative marketing virtual assistants. Our supportive membership communities allows the course content to be accessible to military spouses as well as provide a supportive community of learners and on-going resources such as live trainings, social media templates, brand board templates, and more. Our courses teach:

Web design in Wordpress, Wix, and Squarespace

Email marketing in Flodesk, Mailerlite, and Mailchimp

Social Media Management

Simple branding

SEO and blog management

Project and client management using Asana

Once students complete our Masterclass, they will be eligible to apply for a virtual assistant position with our virtual assistant agency, Milspouse Virtual Solutions. This agency was created to provide students of The WFH Milspo a start as a creative marketing virtual assistant without any experience, as many virtual assistant agencies, even those that hire military spouses, will not hire spouses without experience as virtual assistants first.

The Start Up Collective is a collective of courses for new business owners who would like to DIY the tech stack of their business such as their website, email marketing, social media management, marketing photography, and more. These collectives will be broken up by business niche: product based, service based, and creative based. This collective is open to anyone, and will provide ongoing resources and an optional membership, group coaching, or one-on-one mentoring to help continue to grow their business. The Start Up Collective is coming in 2024.

Why should you win? The Military Spouse Entrepreneur Award means so much to me. As a military spouse, I have dedicated myself to creating a remote, PCS-friendly career that works for our unique lifestyle as a military family, and I truly believe that entrepreneurship can solve many issues within the military community such as service member retention, financial insecurities, and mental health within the military spouse community.

All of my entrepreneurial goals have centered around helping other people, many of whom are military connected or military spouses themselves, start, create, or build their businesses. My creative marketing firm, Aura Digital Consulting, helps businesses grow and thrive. We have worked with a number of people in the military and military spouse community, and all of our team members are military spouses.

As an entrepreneur, I have learned the value of having a career that is PCS-friendly, remote, and flexible to the military lifestyle. My skillset allows for a career that meets this different criteria, and it's often criteria that many military spouses are seeking in their own career paths! That is why I started The WFH Milspo- so that other military spouses can learn skills to also have PCS-friendly, remote careers as creative virtual assistants. We started Milspouse Virtual Solutions to answer the need in our students for job opportunities right out of the gate, allowing them to have real world experience and build their portfolios to either start their own business or work for large agencies.

The Start Up Collective is designed to really fuel the fire of small business dreamers. We will teach those who have an idea or a dream of owning a small business the tech stack behind starting their own business. My belief in the value of entrepreneurship, especially for military families, is something that has helped shaped the Start Up Collective.

Being a military spouse entrepreneur is a passion of mine. This passion is something I want to share with the military spouse community, as I believe entrepreneurship and flexible, remote, and PCS-friendly careers can help to solve many issues that plague military families. tw_user 37 Weeks

Business Name: Building Military Families Network

Business Website: https://www.buildingmilitaryfamiliesnetwork.org

Tell us about your Business: As a military spouse who has struggled with infertility since 2016, I experienced the lack of military-focused organizations ready to support the struggles in the family building community. The combined challenges of infertility and the military lifestyle are consistently overlooked within the military community. At first, I resolved to change that by using my voice to raise awareness, inspire change, and provide encouragement to other military families. As I started that journey, I soon realized how many people in the military community experienced similar struggles, and I began empowering others to join me in raising awareness and advocacy.

My own experiences with infertility and the frustrations resulting from a lack of insurance coverage led me to RESOLVE, a non-profit that advocates for insurance coverage for fertility treatments and other pro-family legislation. To change things for future military and veteran families, I began advocating in 2020 for legislation that supports the military and veteran communities with RESOLVE’s annual Federal Advocacy Day. During Advocacy Day, I shared my personal infertility story with Congressmembers to spread awareness of the challenges families face in both infertility and seeking treatment while moving every few years. In 2021, I joined RESOLVE’s Advocacy Day Volunteer Committee to help plan, recruit, and empower others to use their voices to create change. Then in 2022, RESOLVE worked with me to create a new military and veteran-focused subcommittee, Military & Veterans Taskforce, and asked me to lead it. Through this subcommittee, I recruited, trained, and supported military-connected advocates and educated non-military advocates on military service and family building issues, empowering the volunteers to fight for our military and veteran families on Advocacy Day. After leading the Military & Veterans Taskforce for two years, I am now the Co-Chair for Advocacy Day 2024, helping to lead the Volunteer Committee and inspire the next generation of family-building advocates.

As I continued to find my voice and purpose in raising awareness, I decided it was time to branch out. In 2022, I launched the first peer-led support group for military and veteran families facing infertility, filling a much-needed gap for support. In 2023, I founded my own non-profit, Building Military Families Network, to fill a gap in support and information for military and veteran families she experienced during her family building struggles. The decision to branch out and launch a nonprofit came after failed collaborations and the need for a dedicated organization providing support to families in the trenches of building their families. The nonprofit’s mission is to provide an empowering and supportive network to military and veteran families that are navigating the challenges in the family building process through support groups, education, and resources. As of April 2024, we offer monthly support groups for infertility and pregnancy & infant loss and plan to add adoption, LGBTQ+, surrogacy, and other focused support groups in the next year. Building Military Families Network also has an education center where families can learn more about family building, infertility, and more to help them be informed on this journey. Our resource library is full of vetted resources and tools to guide families to other organizations or businesses that can assist them or provide them with more knowledge to lighten the load of the family building process.

My vision is for Building Military Families Network to be a beacon of hope to military and veteran families navigating the challenges in the family building process. I use my infertility and pregnancy loss journey to help others realize they are not alone, support them, and advocate for insurance coverage and care for military and veteran families. I believe in breaking the chains of shame and embarrassment that these topics carry and instead empowering others to share their journeys and advocate for the next generation. I hope that those struggling with family building know that they are not alone in the journey and that organizations like Building Military Families Network will be there to support them on their journey.

Why should you win? I believe I should win the 2024 MSEA not because I am the best, but because I took some of the darkest, hardest, and emotionally isolating years of my life and have turned it into my calling. I stepped into the unknown time and time again to show up and support a largely hidden part of our military community. The part of our community where people are struggling in silence, have thousands of questions, and long for a community that understands what they are going through. They needed an organization that would offer support, resources, and education to our entire community. We are approaching our first anniversary and might not be well known, well funded, or offering all the programs that we want to, we are breaking barriers, erasing the stigma and shame, and creating a community of support like no one else. tw_user 37 Weeks

Through this subcommittee, I recruited, trained, and supported military-connected advocates and educated non-military advocates on military service and family building issues, empowering the volunteers to fight for our military and veteran families on Advocacy Day. After leading the Military & Veterans Taskforce for two years, I am now the Co-Chair for Advocacy Day 2024, helping to lead the Volunteer Committee and inspire the next generation of family-building advocates. As I continued to find my voice and purpose in raising awareness, I decided it was time to branch out. In 2022, I launched the first peer-led support group for military and veteran families facing infertility, filling a much-needed gap for support. In 2023, I founded my own non-profit, Building Military Families Network, to fill a gap in support and information for military and veteran families she experienced during her family building struggles. The decision to branch out and launch a nonprofit came after failed collaborations and the need for a dedicated organization providing support to families in the trenches of building their families. The nonprofit’s mission is to provide an empowering and supportive network to military and veteran families that are navigating the challenges in the family building process through support groups, education, and resources. As of April 2024, we offer monthly support groups for infertility and pregnancy & infant loss and plan to add adoption, LGBTQ+, surrogacy, and other focused support groups in the next year. Building Military Families Network also has an education center where families can learn more about family building, infertility, and more to help them be informed on this journey. Our resource library is full of vetted resources and tools to guide families to other organizations or businesses that can assist them or provide them with more knowledge to lighten the load of the family building process. My vision is for Building Military Families Network to be a beacon of hope to military and veteran families navigating the challenges in the family building process. I use my infertility and pregnancy loss journey to help others realize they are not alone, support them, and advocate for insurance coverage and care for military and veteran families. I believe in breaking the chains of shame and embarrassment that these topics carry and instead empowering others to share their journeys and advocate for the next generation. I hope that those struggling with family building know that they are not alone in the journey and that organizations like Building Military Families Network will be there to support them on their journey. Why should you win? I believe I should win the 2024 MSEA not because I am the best, but because I took some of the darkest, hardest, and emotionally isolating years of my life and have turned it into my calling. I stepped into the unknown time and time again to show up and support a largely hidden part of our military community. The part of our community where people are struggling in silence, have thousands of questions, and long for a community that understands what they are going through. They needed an organization that would offer support, resources, and education to our entire community. We are approaching our first anniversary and might not be well known, well funded, or offering all the programs that we want to, we are breaking barriers, erasing the stigma and shame, and creating a community of support like no one else.

Business Name: Little Bug

Business Website: www.littlebugstore.com

Tell us about your Business: The Little Bug Store is a heartwarming online lovie boutique that offers a variety “unstuffed” plushies that help with anxiety, seperation, and sleep. Our lovies came from an idea that stemmed from desperation as a sleep deprived momma. The reason why the lovies have a secrets little zipper that allows them to be stuffed and breathable material on the front and back, is so you can put mom or dad’s shirt inside the lovie and it will smell like them. It also doubles as a fun toy holder or place to put special comfort items!

As parents, we know the heartache of separation and the longing for connection. That's why we created Little Bug Lovies: a warm, soft, and snuggly companion specially designed to bring comfort and security to your little ones when you can't be with them.

Our brand's inspiration stems from the personal struggles we faced as a military family dealing with separation. We wanted to create a space where parents can find not only beautiful and high-quality lovies for their little ones, but also a supportive community that understands their journey and provides practical solutions to make life a little easier.

Little Bug's commitment to community engagement and philanthropy has helped the business build a strong network of supporters and customers who believe in its mission and values. By partnering with organizations like the Armed Services YMCA and participating in initiatives like Operation Kid Comfort program, Little Bug has been able to give back to the military community and make a meaningful impact on the lives of families in need.

Little Bug has created a community with families like ours and been able to offer them the support and comfort they need. It's incredibly rewarding to hear the positive impact our products and community have on parents and children during challenging times. The stories and feedback inspire us to keep going!

Why should you win? At Little Bug, our mission is simple yet powerful: to bring joy during times of separation. This mission holds a special place in our hearts, especially for me. As a military spouse and a mom of two, I know firsthand the challenges that families face when they are separated by distance and deployments.

For example, the importance of bringing joy during separation goes beyond just making children smile. It's about providing comfort and support to both children and parents during these difficult times. Separation can be tough on everyone involved, and Little Bug strives to be a source of light and happiness amidst the challenges.

Little Bug is not just a business; it is my way of making a positive impact and bringing happiness and comfort to families going through separation. The joy that our products bring to children's faces and the relief they provide to parents is what fuels us to keep pushing forward.

So, to all the military families - and anyone going through separation - we want you to know that we understand your challenges and we are here to support you. We are on this journey with you, our little lovie friends to bring joy and a sense of togetherness, even when you are apart. Because every little hug, every smile, and every moment of joy matters.

Business Name: Team b. Strategy +

Business Website: https://www.teambstrategy.com

Tell us about your Business: Team b. is a military-spouse and woman-owned small business that specializes in strategy, marketing, communications, training, design, and government relations. We are a vibrant, lean company with an agile approach to business that places emphasis on relationships. Our talent pool is overflowing with strategic-minded, excellence-driven, truth-seeking, hard-working, problem-solving, creative people. Team b. works with small businesses, big businesses, government agencies, national laboratories, and non-profits with goals as diverse as their business categories. We help our clients reach their target audiences through awareness and education. The result is clients who are able to engage people, promote ideas, sell products, gain support, and make an impact. We help our clients define objectives, devise strategies, and implement their plans.

Brittany Westling founded Team b. Strategy + in 2011 as a military spouse who wanted to have a career that afforded her the opportunity to contribute to critical issues like national security while being able to support her spouse in his role as an active-duty service member. She built Team b. Strategy + as a virtual firm which has grown to have a culture and project portfolio that speaks to Team b. as a team and amplifies the things its employees care about. Team b. continues to expand each year with new team members, clients, and services offerings. As it grows, Team b. remains committed to being a lifestyle company where employees can maintain a healthy work-life balance and clients can count on to be a partner that is energized and committed to helping them solve their toughest challenges. Team b. champions important causes like accessibility, cybersecurity awareness, and small business advocacy in addition to providing strategic advisory services to senior level executives across the federal government and national security space. Team b. takes on growth in a slow and intentional manner - working with clients and partners that value the things we value.

Why should you win? Military spouse business owners face challenges that most other entrepreneurs do not. Despite these challenges, I have operated a business and provided leadership at the helm of my company, Team b. Strategy +, for over 13 years. I have a tremendous sense of pride and accomplishment having assembled a team of 37 incredibly talented people who believed in what I started in 2011 and who continue to roll up their sleeves and bring their best to the table day after day. Winning the AMSE MSEA award would shine a light on the pathway for entrepreneurship and highlight the fact that military spouse entrepreneurs have options and pathways to do something similar while recognizing and supporting others in the community and their service members, too.

I started this career journey when my husband was a lieutenant, and he is now a sitting squadron commander as a lieutenant colonel. It is my hope that I can set an example for other military spouses who may have similar career aspirations. I am proud to have built a team of experts that has included 10 current or former military spouses and 4 veterans. It’s a great feeling to know that the company I founded has provided jobs and benefits to dozens of people and has contributed to national security independent from my spouse’s military service. It is rewarding and I want other military spouses to know that it is possible and that others have gone before them to forge this path and buck the traditional role of military spouse – while still supporting their service member.

Through Team b. I continue to carve a successful career path that contributes to national security, supporting a completely female leadership team, and seek opportunities to sustainably grow a virtual firm. Team b. is growing and gaining momentum as a respected service provider in the federal contracting space. Just this month, we ranked on Financial Times’ 2024 Americas’ Fastest Growing Companies list, and I was honored by the US Women’s Chamber of Commerce with the Emerging Star award.

We continued to foster a unique and inviting culture that inspires people to join our team. We developed a corporate action plan that makes anti-racism and inclusion part of our company. We expanded and increased staffing by 50%, received the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), and increased revenue by 75% in the past year. In the last two years, Team b. was awarded its first-ever prime contracts direct with the federal government in the national security space. In August 2021, Team b. Strategy + ranked No. 2110 on the 2021 Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. Team b. also produces “b.better” campaigns at no-cost that serve as educational tools on a variety of relevant topics ranging from Juneteenth, Hispanic Heritage Month, Black History Month, voting, working from home, office holiday party etiquette, cyber hygiene, supporting small businesses, and more. Team b’ers contributed their time, talents, and resources to give back to the community through volunteering with DC Central Kitchen and through our annual philanthropy project supporting Soldiers’ Angels Adopt-a-Family program. tw_user 36 Weeks

Business Name: Thrive Nutrition RDN

Business Website: www.thrivenutritionrdn.com

Tell us about your Business: Welcome to Thrive Nutrition RDN, where we're dedicated to helping you thrive! Founded by registered dietitian Amy Lawson, we're all about real food for real results. Discover personalized nutrition counseling, dynamic cooking classes, and tailored meal planning that fits your lifestyle. Amy's mission is to empower you with healthy, sustainable eating habits for a lifetime of optimal wellness. With evidence-based strategies and mouthwatering recipes, Amy ensures you thrive inside and outside the kitchen. Embark on a journey of nourishment, vitality, and lasting well-being with us!

Why should you win? I would be honored to win the 2024 MSEA award! As a Navy spouse I truly feel I epitomize the essence of MSEA, embodying dedication, compassion, and tenacity as a military spouse entrepreneur in my field as a registered dietitian.

I know all too well the challenges military spouses face, having moved back and forth across the US and internationally, endured numerous deployments, left great jobs, gone back to school, had babies, started a new career, and started my own business at age 37! From starting my career interning at Elle Magazine to working in advertising and then completely pivoting to follow my passion for nutrition, I embraced the struggles military spouses routinely face and used those difficulties to help fuel my dreams of owning my own nutrition private practice.

My goal is to empower my clients, my community and the world for optimal wellness, and this passion drives me to make a tangible difference in each local community I live in. I have taken my passion for cooking and nutrition and conduct cooking and nutrition demos at local farmer's markets to demonstrate how healthy food can be tasty, and to bring people together through the power of sharing food.

My active role as a military spouse of 15 years and a mom of three boys has positioned me to uniquely understand and relate to those who are struggling because of my own struggles trying to juggle deployments with motherhood and business ownership. These efforts are all guided by Thrive Nutrition RDN’s mission statement, “Eat Well, Be Well, Thrive.”

I have embodied the “bloom where you are planted” motto time and again, always seeking to uplift military families as an ombudsman, and always opening my home to “newcomers” to help them feel welcome and enjoy a nourishing home cooked meal. This thrive where you are mindset also drives me to volunteer in every new community to not only make new friends, but also uplift and encourage those around me to achieve their health goals.

My passion for helping people better their health through nutrition is unwavering, rooted in my own journey as a second-career dietitian. Having lived at duty stations all over the United States and abroad, I have diverse experiences that uniquely position me as a catalyst for positive change, making me an exemplary candidate for the 2024 MSEA.

With evidence-based strategies and mouthwatering recipes, Amy ensures you thrive inside and outside the kitchen. Embark on a journey of nourishment, vitality, and lasting well-being with us! Why should you win? I would be honored to win the 2024 MSEA award! As a Navy spouse I truly feel I epitomize the essence of MSEA, embodying dedication, compassion, and tenacity as a military spouse entrepreneur in my field as a registered dietitian. I know all too well the challenges military spouses face, having moved back and forth across the US and internationally, endured numerous deployments, left great jobs, gone back to school, had babies, started a new career, and started my own business at age 37! From starting my career interning at Elle Magazine to working in advertising and then completely pivoting to follow my passion for nutrition, I embraced the struggles military spouses routinely face and used those difficulties to help fuel my dreams of owning my own nutrition private practice. My goal is to empower my clients, my community and the world for optimal wellness, and this passion drives me to make a tangible difference in each local community I live in. I have taken my passion for cooking and nutrition and conduct cooking and nutrition demos at local farmer's markets to demonstrate how healthy food can be tasty, and to bring people together through the power of sharing food. My active role as a military spouse of 15 years and a mom of three boys has positioned me to uniquely understand and relate to those who are struggling because of my own struggles trying to juggle deployments with motherhood and business ownership. These efforts are all guided by Thrive Nutrition RDN’s mission statement, “Eat Well, Be Well, Thrive.” I have embodied the “bloom where you are planted” motto time and again, always seeking to uplift military families as an ombudsman, and always opening my home to “newcomers” to help them feel welcome and enjoy a nourishing home cooked meal. This thrive where you are mindset also drives me to volunteer in every new community to not only make new friends, but also uplift and encourage those around me to achieve their health goals. My passion for helping people better their health through nutrition is unwavering, rooted in my own journey as a second-career dietitian. Having lived at duty stations all over the United States and abroad, I have diverse experiences that uniquely position me as a catalyst for positive change, making me an exemplary candidate for the 2024 MSEA.
