Female Founders Twin Cities Monthly Meetup
Female Founders Twin Cities Monthly Meetup
Topic: The Energetic Glow-Up Your Brand Needs
Your visuals speak before you ever say a word — colors that evoke emotion, textures that feel familiar, fonts and imagery that tell a story. At this month’s meetup, we’re diving into the energetics of branding: how your visual identity shapes what people feel the moment they find you. Together, we’ll reflect on what’s working, what’s no longer aligned with who you’re becoming, and what you want your brand to feel like moving forward. Then, we’ll guide you through a simple embodiment practice to help you fully step into the magnetic energy of your brand. You’ll walk away with one aligned action — a clear next refinement to bring your brand visuals back into harmony with your evolution. Because when your brand feels like you… the right people feel it too.

WIN Connection Sprint: Ask. Connect. Expand.
WIN Connection Sprint: Ask. Connect. Expand. (Women in Networking Edina MN)
When networking, most of us talk about what we DO but skip the most important part: what we are seeking. Come learn how to ACE connections!
The strength of your network is directly tied to your clarity, courage, and connections.
We’re creating space to practice all three at this interactive WIN event.
In the WIN Connection Sprint, you’ll have the chance to:
ASK – Clearly and confidently share what you’re looking for (a referral, collaborator, opportunity, or resource)
CONNECT – Offer meaningful introductions, ideas, and support to others in the room
EXPAND – Strengthen and grow your network by showing up with intention and generosity
Most of us have learned to talk about what we do—but we often skip the most important part: what we’re looking for.
This event is your opportunity to get specific, see, and connect in powerful ways.
Together, we’re not just networking but casting a stronger net. Come ready to share, support, and receive.

Female Founders Twin Cities VIRTUAL Monthly Meetup
Female Founders Twin Cities VIRTUAL Monthly Meetup
Topic: Permission to Pivot: Rewriting the Rules of Your Next Move
You’re not confused or “stuck” — you’re standing at the edge of a shift you’ve been afraid to say out loud. Maybe an offer no longer feels aligned, maybe the way you’ve been operating feels heavy, or maybe your business (and you) are ready for a whole new evolution. This month, we’re dismantling the old narrative that “change equals failure” and honoring the truth: a pivot is often the most powerful move a founder can make. Inside the room, we’ll use subconscious work to reveal what’s beneath the friction, reframe fear into self-trust, get honest about what’s no longer aligned, as well as identify your next aligned action, and celebrate the courage it takes to course-correct. If you’ve been waiting for permission to change direction, this is it. Come step into the pivot you’ve been craving and walk out ready to take aligned action.

Topic: Permission to Pivot: Rewriting the Rules of Your Next Move
You’re not confused or “stuck” — you’re standing at the edge of a shift you’ve been afraid to say out loud. Maybe an offer no longer feels aligned, maybe the way you’ve been operating feels heavy, or maybe your business (and you) are ready for a whole new evolution. This month, we’re dismantling the old narrative that “change equals failure” and honoring the truth: a pivot is often the most powerful move a founder can make. Inside the room, we’ll use subconscious work to reveal what’s beneath the friction, reframe fear into self-trust, get honest about what’s no longer aligned, as well as identify your next aligned action, and celebrate the courage it takes to course-correct. If you’ve been waiting for permission to change direction, this is it. Come step into the pivot you’ve been craving and walk out ready to take aligned action.
