About this Event
Starting something new? Returning to work? Just ready for a reset?
This evening is for women who are stepping into their next chapter—whether that's a career pivot, a return to the workforce, or simply a fresh season of life. We're combining the practical (professional headshots) with the personal (vision boarding) in a relaxed, supportive space where you can actually enjoy yourself.
What You'll Experience:
- Professional Headshot (by Sydney Allen Photography) – Get a fresh, polished photo for LinkedIn, your resume, or just because you deserve an updated picture
- Guided Vision Boarding – Map out your goals for the season ahead with intention (and magazines, scissors, and a glass of wine)
- Genuine Connection – Meet other women navigating similar transitions in a low-pressure, intimate setting
- Motivational Remarks – Hear from The Family Room owner about building community and showing up for yourself
This isn't your typical networking event. There are no forced icebreakers, no pressure to perform, and definitely no pretending you have it all figured out. Just honest conversation, creative expression, and the chance to invest in yourself for a few hours.
Who This Is For:
- Women returning to the workforce or refreshing their professional brand
- Anyone navigating a career transition or personal reinvention
- Professionals who need updated headshots (and want to do it in good company)
- Women seeking meaningful connection and a supportive environment
Space is intentionally limited to 30 women to keep the experience intimate and authentic.
