Healing Entrepreneur Podcast

Welcome to the Healing Entrepreneur Podcast! I'm your host, Rowana Abbensetts-Dobson. I'm a Black woman, a writer, an author, a wife, and a mom. Through my ups and downs with depression and anxiety, I've become intentional about healing, learning my history, developing self-love, and finding joy in every moment. As a mental health advocate and a publisher of Black women writers, I am deeply aware of the power of the voice, and the importance of making sure all voices are heard. On this podcast, I hope to share my journey as well as introduce you to remarkable guests whose voices have been life changing for me. I hope this conversation opens up a new possibility of greatness for you in your life.
