I'm Linette Cottrell, host of the EmpowerHER Business Podcast and your Compassionate Accountant. A few things you need to know, Sis:
-
statistics show 97% of Black women-owned businesses don’t make it past year five.
-
this statistic keeps me up at night —
-
and it’s the reason I started the EmpowerHER Business Podcast.
In each episode, I sit down with entrepreneurs, innovators, and change-makers to share the real side of business — the wins, the setbacks, the lessons no one puts on their highlight reel. Because survival isn’t enough. We deserve to build businesses from truth, businesses that are more than job replacements, businesses that thrive and build legacy.
And when it comes to the money side of that vision, that’s where EmpowerHER Bookkeeping + Accounting comes in. Some call me the Compassionate Accountant or even the Money Therapist — but at the end of the day, I’m your business partner. I help you release the stress around your numbers, simplify your systems, and finally get the peace of mind (and sleep!) you need to grow, fund your dream life, and build a real legacy.
So, Sis -join us as we talk about it, laugh about it, and most importantly — find ways through it, together.

Starting or Relaunching?
We got you!
TOO MANY businesses never make it past five years. But when Black women get the right tools, support, and community? We don’t just make it — we shine. This is your space to kick money shame to the curb, ditch the nonstop hustle, and finally build a business that loves you back.
I’ve spent 25+ years helping entrepreneurs clean up accounting chaos and find peace in their numbers. Now I blend money, mindset, and radical self-love to help Black women grow businesses that are profitable, sustainable, and full of joy.
When I’m not helping founders with mindset transformation, you’ll catch me writing poetry, creating journals, sneaking in a little meditation, or planning the next family getaway (travel is my love language).
I'm so glad you’re here. We are on a mission to help 1,000 businesses each year move from surviving to thriving.
And we can do it with your help!
