This week’s conversation is with self-proclaimed serial entrepreneur Darla Bentely. Her primary business is [Blue Breeze Travel][1] which designs delicious excursions for people who want to do more than visit cathedrals and museums. Her clients enjoy unique and immersive experiences that give them a real taste of their destination.
Her other passions include [photography][2] and [mixology][3]. Darla says you don't have to worry about there not being enough business for everyone because in her experience - you can do it all.

- She expected me to marry a rich man and I did not. - They still get to see the Colosseum, but they also get to have a 91-year-old woman teach them how to make pasta. - I was so consumed with what the world thought of me...not only does it not matter what they think, they get to have that. - We're dysfunctional, but we're a family. - For me, I was just flailing around in this new business/world and I couldn't anchor myself...so I started asking for help. - Not only did I have to ask for help, but I had to accept it as well without feeling like I was failing. - The way you allow yourself to ask for permission and to accept it, is in my mind now, the equivalent of the quality of the symphony you orchestrate. - Each child has their own challenges and each marriage has their own heartaches and struggles. - When you accept the music from their world...without expectations...we'll be kinder to each other. - Women need to rise up and help each other - its time for that. - We have the right to step outside the boundaries we create. - It's important that we support each other and knowing each other is the key to that. - The first time I spoke to a businesswoman in my group - I was shaking so hard that the glasses I was wearing bounced on my nose. - Be happy and fulfilled during the journey. - Being me was forbidden and that had to change.
