“You have to do the work to get really clear on where you are coming from, from a place, perception, identity, and brand, and if that is aligning to the person you are wanting to attract.”

Real Talk: Navigating Women’s Health
The incredible women on our Real Talk: Navigating Women’s Health panel reminded us that it is never too late to take ownership of your well-being.
Their conversation was honest, powerful, and filled with reminders that change begins with awareness and intention. Start asking questions, take small steps, and live life the way you want to live it.
Because when you prioritize yourself, everything else falls into place.
Women Connect LIVE VIP Event
The Women Connect LIVE VIP event was simply incredible. It was impactful and informative, and left us all thinking, and brainstorming on how advertising could impact our business.
Our speakers Liza Graves and Jordan Perry joined by Brielle Cotterman led a really dynamic conversation around how to advertise, where, what are some action items based on your goals, and how to measure success. The discussion focused on local and regional advertising as well as how that can work together so well with social ads and optimizing your google profile. It all works together!
This VIP event could not have been possible without our sponsors Adams Wealth Partners, The Sapphire Suite, and Belle & Bottle for providing our beverages. Thank you both so much for your support and for the focus on women and our success.
All VIP event attendees left with a copy of David Adams’ book and a gorgeous necklace from Strings For Hope, our VIP Gift sponsor.
This sold out evening was one for the books, and trust us, next year’s VIP event is one you will definitely want to plan to attend.
The Marketplace
The Women Connect LIVE Marketplace was a vibrant hub throughout the day, showcasing an incredible lineup of women-owned businesses offering unique products and services. Attendees returned again and again to explore new opportunities, support fellow entrepreneurs, and spark meaningful conversations. More than just a shopping experience, the marketplace became a true hotspot of connection—where women discovered new businesses, built relationships, and celebrated the power of supporting one another.
