Forge Your Own Way

Shenandoah Davis is the Co-founder and CEO of Adventure Nannies, a nationwide domestic staffing agency that has been helping progressive families find nannies, private educators, and newborn care specialists since 2012.

After graduating from the University of Northern Colorado with a degree in opera performance, she packed up and moved to Seattle to pursue the music and art scene.

Shenandoah has toured four continents as a singer, songwriter, and DIY musician performing in listening spaces and art galleries before taking a position at a large restaurant group in Seattle as a brand manager. She then joined Adventure Nannies as their COO in 2016.

Being a successful female leader does not mean that you have to lead like someone else — or like a man. You only need to forge your own way. Every woman is different, and there is value in redefining what it means to lead like a woman.

You don’t have to stress yourself with a boss babe mentality, dress and act like a man, or have a big voice. However, by being authentic, you can be powerful and empower others as a leader. And if something doesn’t work, learn from it and grow.

In this episode of the Lead Like A Woman Show, Andrea Heuston is joined by Shenandoah Davis, the Co-founder and CEO of Adventure Nannies, to talk about leading a business like a woman, experiencing success, and the power of music.

Don’t Quit Until You Make It

Congresswoman Nancy Mace

Congresswoman Nancy Mace grew up in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. She is the daughter of a retired Army General and a retired school teacher. Before being sworn into Congress, Nancy earned accolades as one of the most fiscally conservative members of the South Carolina General Assembly. She is also one of the most pro-conservation lawmakers in that state. She grew up in Goose Creek, South Carolina, and dropped out of high school at the age of 17. She immediately became a waitress at the Waffle House. After earning her high school diploma a few months later, she entered The Citadel (the Military College of South Carolina), where she was the school’s first female to graduate from its corps of cadets in 1999.

In 2004, Nancy earned a master’s degree from the University of Georgia. She is the author of In the Company of Men: A Woman at The Citadel, published by Simon and Schuster in 2001. In 2008, she started her own company. Her background in business is in technology, PR, and marketing, and more recently, commercial real estate before coming to Congress. Amongst her other achievements and responsibilities, Nancy is a single mom of two children, aged 12 and 14. She also has two cats, Tyler and Tiger, and a puppy named Liberty.

She learned the importance of being courageous, confident, and believing in herself. Now she’s here to empower women to speak up for themselves, for others, and to give a voice to the voiceless.

Nancy advises fellow women leaders to never quit until they achieve what they want. Other people’s opinions and perceptions should never define who they are or what they are capable of doing. If a woman doesn’t believe in herself, then others will not believe in her and her abilities.

Congresswoman Nancy Mace is Andrea Heuston’s guest in this episode of the Lead Like A Woman Show where she talks about being the first female to graduate from The Citadel and how that impacted her work in Congress.
