Noone knows what it’s like to be in your shoes except you. As a woman, you have the natural gift of intuition. Listen to the voice that says something doesn’t feel right because that something is probably not right for you. When you don’t mind being knee-deep in chaos everyday doing something that you love, that’s when you know you have found your purpose in life.

Welcome, I’m Marisa Santoro (aka “Shoe Hostess”) and the creator of In Our Shoes. I’d like to first welcome you to our female village from the US and Europe, if you’ve just landed here.

Here are some quick reasons why you may be interested in coming back for a visit. Browse around and see if something strikes your fancy. We promise it will in some way inspire change in your shoes.

In Our Shoes stands for women…

  • who seek a fresh perspective on how to advance as a woman leader or entrepreneur.

  • who are challenged by aggressive and competitive colleagues preventing them from advancing.

  • who need guidance on how to begin conversations at work that are difficult to navigate.

  • who have suppressed their potential for too long and are ready to strut their stuff with their unique feminine flair.

  • .who wish to pay it forward sharing lessons learned as a woman leader or entrepreneur.

  • who need to reinvent themselves after being laid off given this turbulent economy.

  • who were shell shocked after having children needing to take a step back in their careers.

  • who are single parents in need of fresh elbow grease to make a push in their career.

  • who dream of having a family alongside a career, seeking wisdom from women balancing these fronts.

  • who are European or American and appreciate the lessons learned from one another.

  • who have returned to work after being home raising children and need an ummph to jump back into the working world.

  • who would like a speaking or writing opportunity to inspire other women.

  • who have started their own businesses and wish to high-five themselves publicly.

  • are recent college grads who look to older women for support and inspiration.

As for me, I have worn the shoes of most of these women described above and trust me, I get it. Should you be interested, I have also shared my personal story – I hope it in some way inspires you in your professional and personal life.
