Seeing a room packed with hundreds of entrepreneurial women and hearing their strategies on how to tackle all the demands of career and parenting at last year’s conference gave me hope that running a business with a young child wasn’t such a crazy impossible idea after all.

So simple. So true. So powerful."

Best Career/Life Advice: "There are so many pieces of amazing advice that come out of In Good Company, but honestly whenever I leave it's less about the individual messages, and more about the overall feeling of inspiration, support, creativity, 'you got this' and 'you are not alone' that I take away with me."

You can find more on Angela here.

Monelle wears a Gigi Pip hat, Ace and Jig dress and pants, and Freda Salvador shoes.

In Good Company Highlight: "My favorite part of the day was hearing the phenomenal women speaking on the Privilege, Power, and Change panel. With such a full day of content and activity, the energy in the room was palpably waning. The moderator and panel did a fantastic job at reinvigorating the room and reminding us of the various levels of privilege we forget we enjoy—education, socioeconomic status, race, skin color, gender, sex, etc. With the current political climate, it's easy to feel disenfranchised and to opt out of taking small steps within your own community and network to effect change. This panel was a powerful reminder that activism comes in many different forms and sizes."

Best Career/Life Advice: "I've really been enjoying the idea of 'fewer, but better' in all aspects of my life. On a personal level, that has meant making a dramatic shift towards conscious, mindful consumption—specifically, investing in long-lasting garments that serve many needs so I can buy fewer of them, and supporting companies whose core values prioritize their workers and the environment. From a business perspective, it has led me to focus on qualifying clients to ensure that any opportunities we pursue are reflective of our core values and worthy of our time and effort."

Megan wears a Stine Goya dress. FRĒDA SALVADOR Julia boots, and a FRĒDA tote bag.

Best Career/Life Advice: "I recently started working with life coach Marcie Montgomery and she’s working with me on making small daily changes that are magnifying over time. It’s incredible that little tweaks in one area of my life have made monstrous changes in others. I guess my advice is, no change is too small. It will quickly spark change in other areas of your life as well, and the outcome can be profound."

In Good Company Highlight: "It was deeply reassuring to be reminded of the amount of work and strength that goes into building a business/career/dream, and that it's O.K.—and beneficial—to be aggressively oneself in pursuit of that. I also met a very kind and radiant woman in the bathroom who gave me some great self-marketing advice for working as a music video director, specifically. She used to work in the music industry!"

Best Career/Life Advice: "To repeatedly identify and challenge limiting beliefs—in career, business, and in life."

You can find more on Kimber-Lee here.

Shun wears a Universal Thread jumpsuit and earrings, Frye shoes, and Baby Womb World wrap.

In Good Company Highlight: "I believe it was Melody Eshani who talked about having a no-gossip policy. That even the slightest amount of gossip was frowned upon and grounds for termination in her company. I think a positive and unified workplace has to have intentional policies like these, especially among sisterhoods—employed ones included."

Best Career/Life Advice: "I enjoyed listening to the panel regarding funding, specifically Whitney White and how she had to overcome challenges being self-funded. I am self-funded and could relate to a lot of what she discussed, and I knew that PayPal offered loans, but had no idea how they worked. I looked into it as soon as I got home."

Nicole wears an Anine Bing suit, Christian Louboutin heels, and a Balenciaga bag.

In Good Company Highlight: (Sarah) "Collaborating with the most amazing group of women and seeing our small team's vision and plans all come together after so many months of hard work."

Best Career/Life Advice: (Katie) "The basics: treat people how you'd like to be treated, work hard & be nice to people. Also, I've received lots of bits of wisdom at the last three IGC conferences. Some advice that comes to mind—abundance attracts abundance (Mara Hoffman), look ahead at your own path and don't spend too much time focusing on the competition (Clare Vivier), sometimes life looks like a McDonald's bag stuffed inside of a Whole Foods bag (Elise Peterson), and reminding your children often that they hit the f*cking lottery by having you as a mother (Jeni Britton Bauer)."

Best Career/Life Advice: (Sarah) "Whenever my sister or I were having a difficult time, whether in work or our personal lives, my father would (and still does) chime in the most upbeat way, 'What's the most important thing? To have fun!'. This is far and away the best advice I've ever received and always holds true. To me, it's a reminder to not take small (or big) setbacks to heart, to prioritize what's most important and to let go of the rest, and to always surround yourself with people you love."

Rebecca wears a vintage top and pants, LoQ Villa pumps, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, and Solly Baby wrap.

In Good Company Highlight: (Leslie) "Running a business with two newborns can at times feel really isolating. So for me, being able to show up at an event with two babies in tow and be completely welcomed and embraced by hundreds of creative and inspiring women was a pretty remarkable experience and a beautiful testament to the solidarity of women. And having a friend (Rebecca!) who was willing to hold one of my babies ALL DAY LONG. I also had no issue with taking full advantage of the beautiful mother's lounge and massage station."

In Good Company Highlight: (Rebecca) "Meeting so many local, inspiring ladies!"

Best Career/Life Advice: (Leslie) "There were so many good takeaways and good nuggets of advice at In Good Company, but what resonated with me most was the ongoing theme of trusting your creative instincts and remaining authentic to yourself. The idea that if you are someone who likes to create you will continue to be that person through successes and failures (Melody Ehsani). And it is better to live with your own mistakes than someone else's (Carly Cushnie)."

Best Career/Life Advice: (Rebecca) "I always appreciate the quote by Ira Glass where he acknowledges that when you're first starting out in a creative field, the things you are creating might not be as great as you want them to be. It's hard to get through that phase (and everybody goes through it) but it's important to just keep doing the work (a lot of work!) and not quit too early. I try to remember that any time I find myself not doing something because I'm fearful that it won't meet my standards. You just need to do the work, and eventually what you're making will be as good as your ambitions."

Christina wears a Citizens of Humanity x Every Mother Counts t-shirt, Maeve skirt, All Saints jacket, and Zara shoes.

In Good Company Highlight: "Nothing can ever prepare you for becoming a parent and I've always been afraid of that day. Society has fed me a narrative that being a mom and a professional was nearly impossible. I work and have worked so hard to be the professional that I am today, but why has it felt like I had to put my career on hold when I wanted to start raising a family? It wasn't until I attended In Good Company that I started to trust that I could still be a successful career woman and a mom. My conference highlight was that. Being surrounded by the IGC community and empowered by the stories of strong, intelligent, highly motivated women that didn't make me fear my future, but look forward to what lay ahead."

It isn't often that, as a mother to young kids, I feel embraced by society for my decision to take on the role of both mother as well as businesswoman.

Best Career/Life Advice: "'Do your part.' This advice has really clarified for me what I put out into the world. I have a contribution to make that is distinctly mine to give. This helps me keep things in perspective when I am tempted to compare myself to others or to give myself to something that doesn’t align with my purpose. It encourages me to think collaboratively when I find myself operating in a vacuum. I often find myself managed by what I think others expect from me, but there’s so much freedom in unfolding who I am and what I’ve been created to do."

Emily wears a vintage Valentino blazer from Encourage Vintage, Doen dress, Sezane boots, and an Encourage Vintage purse.

In Good Company Highlight: "I loved being able to hear from the designer of one of my favorite brands—Doen—about how they built their business and how they work to partner with female-owned factories all over the world. And my favorite panel every year is the last one. This year the topic was Privilege, Power & Change for Good. It always motivates me to try to use the power I have to amplify voices of color and to try harder to see outside my own perspective, in my life with my own children, and with my business."

Best Career/Life Advice: "As a creative entrepreneur, the lesson that I keep coming back to again and again, through struggle and trial and error, is that I must take care of my own well-being first and foremost. I can't do any really good and creative work out of a lack in my own soul. I need to nurture my physical, mental, and emotional well-being in order to give out of an overflow and abundance. I think I keep coming back to this because I'm so bad at it! Whenever I get burnt out I take a look inwards and realize I need to tend to my own garden. It's very difficult for me to give myself permission to rest. Our culture puts a prize on doing, on being busy and productive. And even in my own family and as a mother I've realized I'm the best version of myself when I give myself the freedom to say 'no' to things that don't excite me. It frees me up to give that good energy back to my kids, my husband, and my art."

This helped me realize why I feel so energized by my passion project, even when I have a demanding full-time job and family priorities."

Best Career/Life Advice: "I have two best pieces of life advice. From my dad on the creative process: 'It may have already been done before, but not by you.' And from my best friend's dad when I wanted to change careers from teaching to design, he said: 'Everything you do in your career is a revelation of the true you.'"

Best Career/Life Advice: "'Don't be afraid to ask for the job.' My first internship was at a media company in New York. The woman who hired me told me that I got the job because I expressed genuine interest and excitement for the position and verbally stated that I wanted the opportunity. She said that most people assume that showing up expresses interest, but vocalize it! Also, I love the book Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office. Some of the advice is super dated, but a lot of it is also very relevant."

In Good Company Highlight: "It's wonderful to be reunited with so many of the incredible Bay Area creative mamas that I have met through all of these lovely events. The talks are all so inspiring and informative, but the highlight has to be spending time in this wonderful and supportive community."

Best Career/Life Advice: "I love this quote from Eckhart Tolle: 'Don't wait to be successful at some future point. Have a successful relationship with the present moment and be fully present in whatever you are doing. That is success.' I love this, it really resonates for me as a new parent striving to do so many things at the same time. I often try to go back to this and try to surrender to the present moment, be it with my kids or at work and to avoid feeling spread so thin. It is by no means an easy practice, but I think it is so important to remember every now again. It helps me take the pressure off a bit and reminds me to be more gentle with myself."
