Back to Me

08/14/2026

Tuesday night’s Back to Me Connections was something special. 🤍

The conversations.
The vulnerability.
The laughter.

The way women who may have walked in not knowing each other were supporting, encouraging, and rallying around one another by the end of the night.

It was exactly why Jami and I wanted to create this space.

A place for women to pause, connect, reflect, and remember that we’re not meant to do life, business, motherhood, relationships, healing, growth, or reinvention alone.

We talked about what it means to pour back into ourselves, to pay attention to what we need, and to choose ourselves in small but meaningful ways.

And watching the connections happen in real time was honestly the best part.

To every woman who joined us: thank you.

Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for being open.
Thank you for supporting the women around you.

And thank you for being willing to connect not only with each other, but with yourself.

Our hearts are full, and we’re already so excited for the next Back to Me Connections on September 8 at The Book Lounge.

This is becoming exactly what we hoped it would be. 🤍

There’s nothing better than hearing women come together and support each other. Not only in business, but in life.

I am so grateful that I got to hear these stories and see the support given.

No competition.
No negativity.

We have another one next month.. want in?

Only four seats are left. And we’re gathering in five days. ✨

Back to Me Connections is more than another networking event. It’s an evening for women in business to step away from the usual introductions and have the kind of honest conversations that help us truly see and connect with one another.

We’ll reflect, laugh, share what’s real, and leave knowing a few more women beyond what they do for a living.

Join us August 11 at Blazek Event Center.

No reading or preparation required. Just bring yourself and a willingness to be part of the conversation.

Four seats remain. Comment CONNECT to claim yours. 🤍

At our last Back to Me Connections, we each chose a quote from The Mountain Is You that spoke to us.

Mine was:

Trust what is unfolding.

And when I shared why that quote mattered to me, I found myself talking about the season I’m in, the parts of my own journey I’m still learning to trust, and what it looks like to keep choosing myself one small decision at a time.

Then each woman shared hers.

And honestly, that’s where the magic happened.

Women who had only just met were opening up, laughing, reflecting, encouraging each other, and seeing pieces of themselves in someone else’s story.

It was such a reminder that connection doesn’t always take years to build.

Sometimes it just takes the right room.
The right question.
The willingness to be a little honest.

That’s the energy we’re bringing into our next Back to Me Connections on August 11.

This time, we’ll be pulling inspiration from Buy Yourself the Damn Flowers and talking about what it means to actually pay attention to yourself, pour back into yourself, and give yourself the kind of care, love, time, and support you so freely offer everyone else.

Because sometimes “buy yourself the damn flowers” is literal.

And sometimes it looks like taking yourself to dinner.
Creating space on your calendar.
Getting dressed in a way that makes you feel like you again.
Working from a place that feels expansive.
Choosing the thing that reminds you you’re worth being considered, too.

We have 8 of 15 spots filled, and I’d love to have a few more women join us.

📍 Blazek Event Center
📅 Tuesday, August 11
⏰ 5–7 PM

The space is beautiful, the conversation will be meaningful, and the energy already feels so good.

If you’ve been craving real connection, reflection, and a little space to come back to yourself, this is your invitation.
