The Other's Day Brunch

The Other’s Day Brunch – A Celebration of Sisterhood and Strength

Wouldn’t it feel amazing to spend the day before Mother’s Day surrounded by women who get it?

The Other’s Day Brunch is a one-of-a-kind gathering for women who don’t experience Mother’s Day the way the world expects them to. Whether you are childless after infertility, have lost your mother, or simply don’t connect with the celebration, this event was created for you.

Instead of bracing yourself for a difficult day, join us in reclaiming it. This is your space to connect with inspiring women, engage in meaningful conversations, and celebrate the impact you make in this world—just by being you.

This exclusive brunch, held in a private venue in Chicago’s stunning Lakeshore East neighborhood, offers an intimate and uplifting experience.

Because this is a private event, the exact location will only be shared with ticket holders.

✨ A professionally curated brunch menu designed exclusively for the event.
🥂 A mimosa bar and non-alcoholic refreshments.
💝 VIP drawing featuring luxurious self-care and pampering experiences.
💬 The opportunity to connect with women who truly understand your path.
🎙️ A keynote by Lana Manikowski—author, keynote speaker, and certified life coach for women without children.

After seven years of fertility treatments and a lifetime of dreaming about motherhood, Lana Manikowski was faced with the reality that she would not become a mother. What followed was a journey through loneliness, self-judgment, and the overwhelming question: So now what?

When she couldn’t find the support she longed for, she created it. Lana is a certified life coach with advanced training in grief and post-traumatic growth. Through her So Now What? Podcast, her Thrive After Infertility coaching program, and her annual Other’s Day Brunch, she provides a compassionate space for women to feel seen, understood, and empowered to thrive.

Lana’s first book, So Now What?, is a guide for creating a fulfilling and meaningful life beyond motherhood. Her work has inspired thousands of women to embrace their stories, redefine their futures, and find joy in a life they never planned.

Seats are limited for this intimate gathering, so reserve your spot today. We can’t wait to welcome you!
