About this Event
Women are capable, busy, and doing all the right things — yet many are quietly living in reaction mode instead of intention.
International Women’s Day offers a meaningful moment to pause.
This in-person lunch experience is designed to bring women together in community, spark clarity, and help each attendee intentionally choose how she wants to show up for the rest of the year.
What You’ll Experience:
- A light lunch and relaxed time to connect with other women
- A meaningful message that will inspire and challenge you
- Honest conversation about what women are navigating personally and professionally
- A simple, powerful “Word of the Year” experience to anchor your focus and decisions
- Practical tools and intention-setting you can carry forward
- A fun, uplifting fashion show that reframes confidence and how we show up — even in a work-from-home world
- A special takeaway to remind you of what you’ve chosen
This Event Is For Women Who:
Feel stretched thin or stuck in reaction mode
Want clarity without pressure to “do more”
Value connection, purpose, and intentional living
Are ready to choose how they show up — personally and professionally
You’ll leave feeling clearer, more grounded, and more connected — not just to your goals, but to yourself and others.
