    Hi Brandy, thank you for reintroducing yourself and for the incredible clarity you bring to this space 💛
    Your work helping others define their vision and share their stories with impact is such a gift—especially for nonprofits and entrepreneurs still finding their voice. “Evolving” is a powerful place to be, and the fact that you’re returning to SHEsolidarity tells me you’re committed not only to your own growth but to holding space for others, too.

    I hope you’ll see this year’s event as a chance to step fully into your role as a connector and guide. There are sure to be folks in the room who could use a nudge in clarifying their brand, or who simply need someone to reflect their purpose back to them with care—and I can’t think of anyone better suited for that than you.

    Here are a few ways to keep that connection going:

    1.Bring a current brand question or theme you’re exploring, others may be walking a similar path.

    2.Jot down 1–2 women whose mission speaks to you and follow up afterward, you never know where it could lead.

    3.Offer your wisdom with generosity. You never know who’s been quietly waiting for someone with your insight!!

    I’m so glad you’re part of this community again. Your presence and your evolving story are already making this space richer.

    Hi Jacqueline, thank you so much for introducing yourself and for sharing your story with such honesty and strength. 💛
    It’s clear that the purpose behind Everlasting Body Products comes from a deep place of care and awareness. The intention to bring calm and happiness to others is so needed and powerful.

    Your commitment to building a legacy for your children and learning from other women is exactly the kind of energy that makes SHEsolidarity so special. I hope you leave feeling not only more informed but truly supported because you’re not in this alone.

    If you’re hoping to soak up knowledge and connections at the event, here are a few gentle tips:

    1. It’s okay to take in your surroundings first. Observe, settle in, and move at a pace that feels right for you.

    2. Jot down one or two questions you’d love answered (like, how to scale or grow your product line).

    3.Find someone to follow up with after — a speaker, a peer, or even me!

    Your vibe, tired but determined says so much. Please know that your presence at this event matters, and we’re so glad you’re part of this community.

    Hi Berenice, thank you for this beautiful and grounding intro 💜
    “Soul healing, empowerment, and embracing our imperfections” — this is so needed right now. Your work is such a gift and doing it alongside your daughters makes it all the more powerful. What an incredible model of legacy and healing.

    I’m so glad you’ll be with us on August 8th. You mentioned looking forward to meaningful connections, yes! The energy in that room is going to be special. Here are a few ways to spark the kind of connection you’re hoping for:

    1.Lead with what lights you up — sharing your “why” often opens the door for real, resonant conversation.

    2.Ask someone what brought them to SHEsolidarity — it’s such a powerful window into what they care about.

    3.Jot down 1–2 people you want to follow up with — connection doesn’t have to end when the event does.

    And your word, evolving — speaks volumes. I can already tell you’re going to leave this space feeling seen and uplifted. So excited to connect in person soon!

    Hi Marilynn — thank you so much for sharing this! 🙏🏾
    You’re not alone. Building a business while life keeps moving is so real and naming that tension is a powerful step.
    You asked such a great question: “How do you grow your business?”
    One place to start might be asking: What does growth mean for you right now?
    Is it setting up a website? Registering your LLC? Landing one new client this month?
    Sometimes “growth” feels huge and out of reach, but breaking it down into smaller, doable goals can help you move forward with intention. It also helps you ask for what you need, especially at events like SHEsolidarity (we see that you’re registered 🙂), where you’ll connect with banks, business support orgs, and other entrepreneurs who get it.

    During the speed pitching rounds, you’ll be able to voice those questions directly. And after the workshops, we’ll hold space for guided reflection — a chance to process what clicked and where you want to go next.

    If you’re thinking about how to prepare, here are a few ways to make the most of it:

    1. Bring one goal or question you’d love support on, even if it’s “Where do I begin?”

    2. Practice saying what your business is about in 30 seconds or less, just enough to invite conversation.

    Follow up with at least one person you meet — relationships are everything in this journey!!!

    Can’t wait to see you there! And feel free to keep this convo going here ,this forum is exactly the space for it 💜

    In Solidarity,
    Raven

    🌟 Natasha, thank you so much for sharing your story with such honesty and strength. Your vision for New You Wellness is powerful, and your commitment to turning pain into purpose is deeply inspiring.
    I especially felt this: “tired of the fear, tired of talking myself out of doing something different…” that level of realness is what this space is all about.
    We’re so glad you’re here, and I can already tell your energy will spark meaningful connections on August 8. 💛 Keep showing up — your presence matters.
