What can we each do to support other women in business?
Supporting other women in business and financial success is critical. Data shows that women reinvest about 80% of their earnings back into their families, schools and communities. Historically women have not always been included in financial decisions or empowered to build their own wealth. That needs to change, and supporting one another is one of the best ways to make that happen.
Is there a belief you’d like to rewrite for women in business?
I wish every woman knew that it’s not only OK but necessary to seek as much help as you can afford—whether in business or at home. We shouldn’t feel pressured to do it all alone or to a standard of perfection. Focus your time and energy where you add the most value. For me, that means accepting that my home isn’t always spotless—and learning that’s OK. Outsource what you can without guilt. As a recovering perfectionist, my biggest lesson has been shifting from trying to do everything myself to learning how to lead effectively.
How long have you lived here?
We’ve lived in the South Bay for six years, moving from the Westside of Los Angeles for the schools. It’s the best decision we’ve ever made. We have two boys (ages 10 and 9) and a baby girl who is 5 months old. Hermosa has given us community, safety and so much fun. The people in this small town are truly amazing.
How do you support the South Bay?
The Jacobellis Group actively participates in Lemonade Day to support young entrepreneurs, sponsors local youth sports leagues like Hermosa Beach Youth Basketball, serves on the Chamber of Commerce and supports local women’s domestic violence shelters.
