Vulnerability is scary. Like the Wizard of Oz, we want to hide behind the curtain and project an image of perfection and strength... but that is not how we connect with others. Our personal journeys are complicated, and they make us human. Cathlene Miner has overcome so much in her personal life, and her career journey has taken several turns from being an executive to a stay a home mom to an entrepreneur to running a non-profit.

As the Founder and CEO of Hopefull Handbags Global, Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit, Cathlene is on a mission to raise hope for survivors of domestic abuse and their children, offering support and empowerment on a global scale. Her dedication to helping survivors regain their footing and rebuild their lives is nothing short of inspiring.
