Have you heard the story of how Marken started?

Ever met someone and instantly had a connection? I met my good friend Jessica Henning of The Purpose Planner a few years ago through an online community. We became fast friends and have kept in touch with meetups at Panera for coffee and quick texts or voice memos just to check in. It's amazing how much it means to have someone you know you can call when facing overwhelm and they will understand and encourage you.

And now, Jessica with her friend Amy have launch a new community of women called Inside the Collective.

What's The Collective?
The Collective is a curated, focused community platform, made for and by women just like you, to provide resources, shortcuts, and ways to help you grow you and your business!

I have the honor of being a Brand Partner for The Collective and was featured on their podcast. You can listen to the episode here for a behind-the-scenes peek into how we started Marken Media Co. and what it's like to start out scrappy!

'I am excited to be a part of a community of like-minded women and to share our big dreams, our aspirations to help others, our ideas, our expertise, and our resources, while creating friendships that matter."
