Why I Created SheCreativePreneur & What I Hope It Does for You

SheCreativePreneur was born from my own struggles as a woman in the creative industry—facing misogyny, self-doubt, and a lack of support. I created this platform to be the community I once needed: a space where women can find inspiration, practical advice, and encouragement to build thriving creative businesses. My hope is that SCP empowers you to embrace your creativity, trust your journey, and know that you are never alone in this.

Hi, I’m Anna Gudvin, the creative mind behind SheCreativePreneur—a space born from both passion and pain, from the struggles I faced and the dreams I refused to let go of. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsupported in your creative journey, know this: You are not alone. And that’s exactly why I created this platform.

The Hard Truth: My Journey into Creativity as a Woman

When I first stepped into the creative industry, I was fueled by excitement, ideas, and an undeniable passion. But I quickly realized that being a woman in this space came with unexpected challenges. I faced misogyny, dismissiveness, and a lack of mentorship, all of which made me question my place in an industry I loved so much.

There were moments when I wondered:
🔸 Am I good enough?
🔸 Do I belong here?
🔸 Why does this feel so much harder for me than it does for others?

I struggled with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the loneliness that often comes with carving out your own creative path—fighting to keep my spark alive. And while I eventually found my footing—through sheer determination, resilience, and an unwavering belief in my vision—I knew deep down that it shouldn't have to feel this isolating or difficult.

The Turning Point: Why I Knew Something Had to Change

At some point, I realized that my journey could have been faster, more enjoyable, and far less lonely if I had access to a community—a space where creative women uplifted each other instead of competing, where honest conversations about business, creativity, and self-worth were encouraged, and where practical advice was shared openly.

I wanted a space where women could see themselves in each other’s stories and feel empowered to dream big, take risks, and trust their creative instincts.

And when I couldn’t find exactly that, I did what creative women do best: I created it myself.
