Mud on My Stilettos is the female entrepreneurship division of WP Consulting Group, dedicated to helping women become the powerhouses they’re meant to be.

Our name says it all: We believe in getting down in the trenches—doing the gritty, necessary work (the mud)—while embracing our power, beauty, and confidence (the stilettos).

Our mission is to create a nourishing community that provides female entrepreneurs with the momentum, accountability, and resources they need to build successful businesses and fulfilling lives. Our vision is a ripple effect of empowerment where strong women create strong businesses and inspire others to do the same in their communities.

Our founder built Mud on My Stilettos as the support system she wishes she had when she launched her first business in 2016. Today, we’re here to ensure no woman has to go it alone—because together, we can achieve extraordinary things.

The name "Mud on My Stilettos" has roots in our founder’s own story. Back in 2012, when she had a “real job,” she was a single mom to two little girls and constantly racing against the clock. To make it to work on time, she’d take a shortcut from the parking lot to the door, swiping her badge just in time—though not without getting mud on her stilettos.

What started as a literal struggle has since evolved into a powerful metaphor for balancing grit and grace. And here we are today, helping women get down in the trenches while standing tall and feeling confident.

Life has changed quite a bit since then. She’s now in a wonderful relationship, those little girls are nearly grown, and the family has grown by two little boys—making life as beautifully messy as ever.
