✨ OCTOBER… YOU WERE A WHOLE VIBE ✨
From grand openings and shoutouts, to content days and pop-up events… we showed up for our small business community and had so much fun doing it 💯🎯

I’m always the happiest when I get to help businesses be SEEN. When I can walk in, grab a few clips, shout you out, introduce you to new customers, and watch the ripple effect happen. That’s the heart of everything we do here — Friends Networking Together. 🤝✨

October was a HUGE success, and I am just grateful.
Grateful for my team.
Grateful for the entrepreneurs who trust me.
Grateful for this community that shows UP.

And now… hello November 🍂
This is where our hard work pays off.
This is where seeds we planted start to grow.
This is where momentum meets purpose.

So here’s to:
✨ New connections
✨ Bigger collaborations
✨ Bold ideas
✨ And continued LOCAL LOVE

Let’s make November one to remember.
Drop a 🤎 if you’re ready to finish the year STRONG.

✨ Shouting out our friends Brian & Jennifer and their amazing family over at Rush Bowls Olathe ! ✨

Monique, her girls, Anne and I stopped by for their Friends & Family Day during their grand opening weekend — and let me just tell you… the place was BUZZING with energy and excitement! 🥳💛

It was so fun watching their whole family in action — smiling faces, great customer service, and those bowls and smoothies! 😍 You can just feel the love and intention they’ve poured into creating this space for the community.

If you haven’t swung by yet, make plans to stop in and show them some local love.
📍 Rush Bowls – your new go-to for fresh, energizing, feel-good eats!

Let’s support our friends. Let’s support local. Let’s keep building community together. 🤝💜

✨It’s BACK, KC… and it’s ONLY here through December✨

If you know, you know.
Pumpkin. Banana. And now… Bourbon Butterscotch Banana Bread 😍
A recipe with roots deeper than the holidays themselves.

This isn’t just baked bread…
This is my great-great grandmother’s pumpkin recipe passed down through seasons…
My great-grandmother’s banana bread that smelled like love all the way out to the driveway...
And my own twist — bourbon butterscotch banana — created in recent years as my signature flavor… rich, cozy, a little sweet, a little bold… a love letter to where we come from and where we’re going.

On the latest Be Life Changers podcast, I shared how these breads became part of our story — how holiday seasons, tight budgets, big dreams, and determination shaped our traditions.
How baking gave us warmth and wiggle room when we needed it most.
How family recipes can carry purpose.

Now… it’s my turn to share it with you 🤍

🍞 Available through December ONLY
☕ Perfect for:
– Holiday happy hours
– Coffee bars
– Family gatherings
– Work potlucks
– Host/Teacher gifts
– Girls' nights, Friendsgivings, and cozy mornings in

I’m also providing Bread + Spread setups for holiday gatherings and more — warm loaves sliced + displayed beautifully... It's a vibe! (just ask)

Flavors:

🍌 Traditional Banana
🥃 Bourbon Butterscotch Banana (fan favorite + VERY limited)

Order link is in my bio — or send me a DM and I’ll hold your loaf(s) before they’re gone.
And if you already know you love them…

They will sell out fast!

Let’s share warmth this season — one slice at a time. 💗🍞

This one hit different. 💚

Business with Wisdom and Kathy Coates Events had the honor of attending the Mental Health Awareness Concert featuring Krizz Kaliko — and let me tell you, it was powerful.

From the moment we walked through the doors and saw a wall full of letters to choose from to let ua know “YOU MATTER”… to hearing Krizz pour his heart out through his music and story — every second carried purpose. His words reminded us that healing starts when we give ourselves permission to feel, to grow, and to keep showing up. 🙌🏽

Watching his son perform was the perfect full-circle moment — a generational message of hope, legacy, and love. Plus he looks just like my grandson, who also loves to sing!! 🥰

This FREE event, sponsored by Fox 4 and University Health at the UMKC Student Union, brought our community together for to remind us that we all matter — and none of us have to walk this journey alone.

💚 Let’s keep this energy going. Check on your strong friends. Show kindness. Be present.
Because you never know whose life your light could touch.

🎃🐾 Trick or Treat… but make it PAW-fect! 🐶✨

A big shoutout to Priscilla at The Wellness Shop for Dogs in Olathe, KS — she always goes above and beyond for our fur babies! 🐕💖 She squeezed Chanel & Shadow in before heading out of town and made sure they were Halloween-ready with the cutest little festive bandanas 🎀🧡

It’s the extra little touches for me — clean, fluffy, smelling amazing, and rocking their spooky style! 👻
