Running a business while juggling caregiving, personal expectations, and emotional health is exhausting—but you don’t have to do it alone. In this empowering event, we’ll explore what it really means to build a village that supports you emotionally, practically, and professionally. Whether you’re navigating burnout, questioning your capacity, or simply craving a community that gets you, this space will help you reconnect with your needs and your power.

Together, we’ll unpack the silent weight many women carry, release the pressure to be perfect, and design intentional support systems that fuel your vision rather than drain it. This is your invitation to stop suffering in silence and start building a life and business that are rooted in support, authenticity, and connection.

TAKEAWAYS:

• Recognize the Weight You’re Carrying– Understand what burnout, depression, and overextension really look like—especially when you’re doing everything for everyone. You’ll identify where you need support the most.
• Release the Pressure to Be Everything– Let go of perfection and the need to always be “the strong one.” Discover how authenticity helps reduce stress and invites real connection.
• Rebuild with Intention and Community– Map out the kind of support system you need—emotionally, professionally, and practically. Walk away with one small action to start growing your village right now.
