We are so inspired by the businesses in our community because of how many of them are committed to helping to make the world better than it is today. Check out some great businesses below and how they are helping others.

Jessica Frobose | Bath Bomb Creator

One of the first things I wanted to do with this business is give back in some way. My biggest passion is womens rights! With that being said, I have set up donations at my checkout that go towards a local domestic abuse shelter, Equality Now (and organization fighting for women’s rights), and I have bath bombs that have a portion of the proceeds go towards the Trevor Project (an organization that helps the LGBTQ+ community). Even the smallest amount has a huge impact! Read more>>

Charmian Redwood | Hypnotherapist

I help people to empower themselves so that they can achieve their full potential. When people realize the extent of their True Self then they can live. A much more fulfilled life.. When they begin to act from their empowered self then they affect those around them to step up and live a better life Read more>>

Leslie Brooks CLC | Certified Life Coach and Licensed Massage Therapist

As a certified life coach, I aspire to impact the world, by lovingly questioning those who are struggling to choose their needs, by encouraging them to choose their own needs, first. Especially as a woman who has been touched by codependency and compulsive people pleasing myself, I endeavor to be a voice for those who haven’t found theirs yet. This helps our community by allowing woman and chronic people pleasers, to live a more peace-filled and honest, authentic life. When we have the option to say “Yes” or “No”, or to choose to meet our needs first, it creates a more honest and intimate dynamic, bitterness tends to fall away and peace abounds. Read more>>

Mary C Miller | Founding Board President of Norwood Together

Norwood Together’s mission is to grow and build equitable economic and community development in Norwood, Ohio. We started as a grass roots organization trying to do good things to make a difference in our community. As many rust belt midwestern towns Norwood had lost major industries and therefore a large portion of the city income. When we moved here in 2015 people were discouraged and disengaged. A group of residents met together and started working in parks and cleaning up streets. This volunteer group partnered with LISC to interview residents to collect data for a SWOT analysis and created a Quality of Life Plan for the city. The plan was rolled out in February 2019. The question then was “What Now?” The leaders of this group decided to move forward by becoming a 501(c)3 nonprofit community development corporation. Read more>>

Devon Teeple | Founder & Executive Director

My business is deeply rooted in making a meaningful impact on the community and the world, particularly in the realm of mental health and wellness. I’ve always believed that true leadership extends beyond the boardroom, and it’s about being there for people when they need it the most. One of the core pillars of my work is raising awareness about mental health, particularly anxiety and depression. These are challenges that affect countless individuals, and my coaching services, as well as the resources I provide, are geared towards supporting them. Whether it’s through one-on-one coaching sessions, sharing valuable information, or relaying insights from athletes who are making a difference off the field, the focus remains on promoting mental well-being.
