Susan Aguayo was born in Peru and immigrated to New York at the age of five. As the eldest of three siblings, she quickly adapted to her new environment, learning English to connect with others. Following the birth of her younger sister and her parents' separation, Susan took on a leadership role within her family—becoming a protector, translator, and source of support.

Determined to succeed, she pursued Early Childhood Education at Kingsborough Community College at 17 and later studied Business Communication at the American Business Institute. She married her high school and college friend, with whom she has shared over 36 years of marriage. In 2001, with his encouragement, Susan launched her own business.

In 2004, the family relocated to New Mexico, where they adopted three children, fulfilling their dream of a large family. Tragically, in 2015, Susan lost her third child to complications related to perinatal depression—a silent but common issue. This loss led her to establish Kassy's Kause, a nonprofit offering resources and support for maternal mental health.

Susan became certified as a Community Health Worker and Doula, dedicating herself to supporting families in her community. Her advocacy has earned her recognition as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Woman of the Year (2019) and New Mexico State Mother of the Year by American Mothers Inc. She ran for State Senate in 2020 to raise awareness for underserved issues, particularly maternal mental health.

Today, Susan serves as New Mexico Coordinator and Spanish-language support group facilitator for Postpartum Support International. Her mission is to ensure no mother feels alone and no family suffers due to a lack of awareness or support.

Nicole shares her wisdom melting shame and imposter syndrome amidst multiple life transitions; divorce, starting a company, and an unexpected transition to single motherhood.

Nicole Manstrangelo traded in her successful corporate career in luxury sales and marketing to join her parents in ownership of our 30-year-old family business.

She implemented “big business” growth strategies that generated immediate and transformative results, and over the course of 7 years, drew the attention of other business owners within the industry and beyond- many of whom were struggling with the same growth challenges her parents were once facing.

Once she recognized this trend in the small business community, she began to volunteer as a mentor, helping owners apply and integrate these same strategies for success in a hybrid marketplace. Through mentorship, she became aware of the unique needs and challenges faced by many women in business.

In 2021, she founded The Daily Drip, a media platform providing content, resources, programming, and community to help South Florida business leaders become thought leaders. What makes their content unique is that everything is created by a local industry leader within this market- just like YOU.

Their 'for us by us' approach to content and programming allows them to support the modern business leader while amplifying the voices of their local industry experts and expanding their capacity for impact.

From Palm Beach to South Beach, their community continues to expand, evolve and thrive. Their content reaches more than 4,000 subscribers across the tri county and nearly 34k digitally across all social media platforms.
