WOMAN CRUSH EVERYDAY celebrates women around the Hudson Valley that are doing just that CRUSHING it with strength and grace.✨✨

“As a female in the world, it took me almost 30 years to establish who I was and what I wanted to do. I went through trauma, and changed my mind one too many times. Confidence definitely wasn’t built over night. But my biggest fan through it since day one was my mother, a strong woman at that. She always stood by me and taught me to never forget who you are and that the world won’t always treat you fairly. If you fall down you need stand back up on your feet stronger than the knock down.
That we already have enough battles we have to fight daily whether it be the long aged competition for equality among men or within our own internal beings. Many of us are Mothers, Friends, Working Class Women, Homemakers, and still on top of all of those titles we still are expected to maintain composure and beauty in this world. It’s not easy juggling it all! But somehow we do it- because we are Strong woman, raised by them & will continue to raise them!. I love seeing other woman succeed- THATS THE VIBE. “ - Mia, Psy Chic Artistry,LLC

Check out Mia at and all the amazing works & energy she is spreading through the Hudson Valley!

HAPPY SUNDAY & HAPPY WOMAN CRUSH EVERYDAY EVERYONE!!✨✨ Today's Hudson Valley highlight is on the amazing Gina Dzierzanowski owner of Georgia Blue Flower Truck.

"Woman’s leadership is not a title… but a role. It’s starts with making personal development a priority. Once we’ve gained our own confidence through knowledge and fearless self discovery we can then extend ourselves to focusing and supporting other woman; essentially serving as role models and mentors. As a leader I always try to guide and encourage woman on their own brave journey to lead; inevitably adding to a beautiful sisterhood of empowered woman.” -Gina Dzierzanowski

It's women like Gina and so many others that are making their mark on the Hudson Valley and continue to inspire and create inspiration! Continue to follow along as we continue to shed a spotlight on these women!✨✨

HV Real has a mission to bring women together to support and empower one another. Creating spaces for women of all walks of life to network and create authentic relationships. We believe in inclusivity, accessibility and celebrating each of our own unique identities. Supporting the LGBTQIA+ community is an important piece to that. At HV Real we stand together for all.

Natalie Cannizzaro - Benefit Advocate - United Healthcare


✨✨"Women’s leadership is something to take note of. Women’s leadership to me means being unstoppable. It means doing and being your best despite what you may face or rejections you may encounter. Women’s leadership looks like these women to me: Ketanji Brown Jackson, Marsha P Johnson, and Amanda Seales. It also looks like my mother & sister. It looks like my wife and closest friends. All these women have qualities that make them strong, bold, and diverse. Using their platforms and voice to create change in some way, shape, or form. They are leaders at home, work, and within their own communities. We are all leaders as women and should do everything we can to support each other, advocate for one another, and taking the time to do our part and consistently help evolve what the future looks like for the leaders of tomorrow. Never giving up is key and setting up a community like HV Real will help all of us come together and grow together and I’m excited to be a part of something so important."✨✨

These are the women behind the scenes making it all happen and STAY TUNED there are some pretty incredible things planned for this year!

Today's WOMAN CRUSH EVERYDAY goes out to - Sarah Perkes - Physicians Assistant Student

"When I think about the most important women in my life, I also think about who is there for me when I need it most. Fortunately, my biggest supporters and safety are mostly women. And some of the qualities they all possess include the fact that they are all incredibly powerful, respectful, intelligent, resilient, and capable of anything they set their mind to. I think it is incredibly important to surround with people who believe in you when you don’t believe in yourself. "

Be sure to follow along as you meet some of the most fearless, strong, bad ass women of the HV!

Happy International Women's Day to all the Incredible women in this world and our very own Hudson Valley!!

There are so many amazing women throughout the Hudson Valley who are so fearless and strong! Let's join together to celebrate all those women today and everyday!

✨✨✨ Together we can accomplish anything. So let's lift one another up! TAG one of the women who inspires and empowers you!

Meet one of our committee members - Abby! ✨Abby Paul, MBA
Co-founder HV REAL
Retail Business Development Officer, Ulster Savings Bank

“ I am a part of HV Real because Women’s leadership is making those who came before us proud, and leveraging our unique talents for the greater good. We all have a story to tell. Leadership is in all of us. We break barriers, build consensus, and create our own destiny. Together, we are unstoppable.”

TODAY'S WOMAN EVERYDAY CRUSh goes out to Carol Tyson - Marketing Manager at The Pass

To me, leadership means being strong, confident, and fearless. Working the in the cannabis industry, notorious for being a male dominated field, has introduced me to some incredible woman who make the business wheels turn on a daily basis.

It’s our job to be strong women. Raise strong women. Empower and support strong women. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Be sure to follow along to meet some of the strong women of the Hudson Valley!!

Women have always been a part of the foundation in human history – leaders, scientists, doctors, mothers and innovators. ✨✨For centuries, the telling of history minimized women’s contributions until the rise of the women’s rights movement in the 20th century. With that emergence and recognition of women’s incredible achievements, women’s history became an academic discipline. ✨✨Today, we honor those historic contributions and celebrate National Women’s History Month - an annual celebration born from the activism of historians committed to celebrating the great women in history! ✨✨

WHO IS HV REAL?
✨ We are the first truly Regional Hudson Valley women's groups whose purpose is to inspire, educate and build a community that is inclusive of all women through events, newsletters, podcasts and more!
✨ It's time to come together to raise each other up in a new way!

Todays woman crush goes out to Amanda Giacalone - owner of Amanda’s Macaron Shop!

“As far as what women’s leadership means to me, I feel that it is not only important to be a strong leader, but it is also equally important to raise up and support women attaining leadership roles.”

Be sure to follow along to meet some of the strong women of the Hudson Valley - and maybe even discover a local business that you haven’t heard of before!

Meet one of our committee members - Erin! Erin is a consumer loan underwriter at Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union.

“ I am a part of HV Real because I stand by our mission. It is so important to see women in leadership and to have that defined in a new way.

To me, women’s leadership is intersectional, diverse and accessible. It is being unapologetically yourself and breaking the mold of what the previous generations have laid out for us. It’s proving everyday to ourselves as well as the world that we can have it all and never have to apologize for it. Women’s leadership means paving the way for all people to overcome the challenges society has set forth for them. ”

Happy Friday!!

Hudson Valley REAL is a firm believer that the only way for us to ever truly be uplifted and empowered to our true potentials we have to empower one another.

We are all in this together and it's going to take all of us together as one.

So let's try something! There are some truly phenomenal local women owned businesses in the Hudson Valley, I invite you to tell us about one of them you personally love!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!
