Get To Know Us | The Forward Female Story

“Let’s go ahead and dive into our story, shall we?” says Priscilla, about how she and Lauren met and the experiences that led to founding Forward Female, their coaching and creative agency which helps female entrepreneurs reach their goals and find community. Priscilla always knew she wanted to work in news, and studied journalism at college in Texas before moving to L.A. to intern at Warner Brothers Studios and later work at Bumble in digital marketing. She hosted a brunch where she met Lauren, a graduate of L.A.’s Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising who at the time was a photographer and ran a creative agency. Lauren was lucky to find a wonderful mentor (NJ Falk) who showed her the ropes of business and entrepreneurship straight out of college which years later led into the beautiful business partnership they all three have today at Forward Female. 
 
Their meeting reiterates the crucial importance of networking, putting yourself out there, and building relationships. The two believe in manifestation and that all opportunities, people, and challenges are put in our lives for a reason, so that we can grow and evolve. Prior to them starting Forward Female they noticed that many people acted as gatekeepers to information and didn’t want to share their knowledge or help others. Women especially, tended to be cliquey and competitive rather than empowering and collaborative with each other. 
 
With all of these motivations in mind, the two set out to create a business with the idea that when women come together, everyone can succeed faster and more efficiently. You’ll hear them describe the early days of Forward Female, the way it evolved pre-and-post pandemic. And just how excited and grateful they are to have listeners join them as they continue along on this journey.

Welcome to Her Next Big Move

“We’re here to be your biggest cheerleader and support system,” says Lauren Cheek,  introducing the “Her Next Big Move” podcast. Lauren, along with Priscilla Presley, co-founded The Forward Female, an L.A.-based mentoring and consulting agency that helps female entrepreneurs start businesses and find their community. With the podcast, the two extend this mission, helping female entrepreneurs reach their biggest goals in work and in life. With each episode, Priscilla and Lauren will demystify common limiting beliefs surrounding entrepreneurship, help listeners clarify their goals and build a strategy toward achieving them.
They will do this by sharing their stories of building successful businesses, as well as by inviting successful women making big moves in their respective industries to share their own stories. These vulnerable conversations will shine a light on the big wins as well as the hard times on the journey to building a business and the lessons learned along the way. 
By tuning in each Monday, listeners will find a support system that is crucial to success as a female entrepreneur.
