#5: Establishing & operating a non-profit with #HappyPeriod founder Chelsea Vonchaz - a podcast by Lynae Cook

#HappyPeriod founder Chelsea VonChaz discusses the ins and outs of founding and running a non-profit. #HappyPeriod aims to eliminate the stigma and reshape the conversation around periods. Chelsea shares tools and resources for those looking to gain 501(c)3 status, running a small business, and discusses the loneliness that comes with being an entrepreneur at times.

Chelsea dives in to how she pushed forward with #HappyPeriod to make an impact. In short: you don't need anyone's permission to help people. When you see a need, you can take an action. To support #HappyPeriod, gather your friends to put together care packages, and distribute them to shelters or to women directly. Listen to the episode for more details on her specific organization and some really great tips on growing as a solopreneur, whether your organization is for-profit or a non-profit.
