This episode we conclude our Women's History Month series with Helen Morrison of FROWNIES. Such a privilege to chat with her about the early days of FROWNIES, how they got where they are today, and the gift and curse of social media. Helen is an absolute WIZ when it comes to content creation and strategic growth through organic content and virality. We loved her transparency, boldness, and heart for authenticity towards her life and brand.
