Name: Girl Gang Mixer
Start: 2026-04-23T19:00:00-05:00
Location: Chicken N Pickle 1221 Johnson Rd, Allen, TX

Let's be honest — making friends after 35 is weird. Everyone's busy, everyone's tired, and "we should hang out sometime" never actually turns into hanging out.
The Girl Gang Mixer is here to fix that.
This is a structured, pre-matched, low-pressure friend-making event designed specifically for women 35+ who are ready to actually do the thing. No awkward standing around hoping someone talks to you. No forced small talk. Just real conversations, fun activities, and a room full of women who showed up on purpose — just like you.

🎨 WHAT TO EXPECT:
✨ Multiple rounds of small-group conversations (3-4 women per table)
✨ Strategic matching some rounds, intentional mixing others
✨ Conversation starters for each round
✨ Creative activities (coloring, glass bead bracelet making, doodling) while you chat
✨ Never Have I Ever questions to keep things light
🎨 WHO THIS IS FOR:
• Women ages 35+
• Just moved to the area and don't know where to start
• Used to have a solid friend group but life scattered everyone
• Are a mom and want friends outside of kid pickup lines
• Work from home and need actual human interaction
• Keep meaning to "put yourself out there" but don't know how
🎨 THE VIBE:
Low-key and fun. Yes, it might be a little awkward at first because we're all human. But here's the secret: everyone there is nervous too. That shared vulnerability actually makes it LESS awkward. Plus you can fidget with art supplies while you talk.

🎨 WHY THERE'S A FEE:
I get asked this a lot, so here's the honest answer: When you invest money, you're committed. Free events? People don't show up. But when you pay, you're telling yourself "I'm worth this." And you know other people are there with the same level of commitment. The $25 covers the work to create meaningful groups and supplies for each person. You're investing in yourself - I'm investing you.
🎨 Why only 35+
Simple answer: At the last event we all agreed it would be beneficial to have age specific events and I'm starting with 35+ because, well, I'm in my 40s, and hosting for women in my own season of life means I actually get it.
