What is Tallahassee’s Style? In the August-September 2018 issue of Tallahassee Woman we explore what makes Tallahassee a unique home among Florida’s cities, with the help of this issue’s cover Woman, Susie Busch-Transou–business leader and owner, community advocate, wife, mother, and purveyor of all things for the heart(h) and soul. Plus, get an inside look at fall fashion and what Tallahassee trendsetters have to say about our unique brand of chic. And, be sure to read our helpful articles on understanding Lyme Disease, overcoming exercise obstacles, being a leader in business, and how to talk to kids, age-by-age, about the tough stuff in life.  We’ve got something for everyone this issue!

This is the story of seven local Tallahassee women, all independent power houses, all artists, all in charge of their own destiny, yet together they have a sisterhood that has changed their lives for the better. These seven are hoping to inspire other women and girls in the community and beyond. There are no glass ceilings, only smashed ones.” — #ceilingsmashers
