Uncomfortable Community ConversationsSeptember 24 @ 4:30–7:00 p.m.1365 Plainfield Ave. NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49505 |
Presented in partnership with the SBAM Women’s Business Council Perimenopause brings a brutal shift in energy, productivity, motivation, and mental clarity. Our bodies change. Our brains change. Our priorities change. All of it, seemingly overnight. This isn’t just a women’s health issue; it’s a workplace issue, a business issue, and a long-overdue conversation. |
Meet Our Pause Speakers
We’re leading companies, managing teams, and holding up the world around us — while the general public still gets the “ick” at the mention of our bodies, physicians hand out antidepressants as a catch-all fix, and real education on the subject remains almost nonexistent.
It’s time to change that.
Come sip, network, and hang out with other bad*ss women. Did we mention Urban You and Rebel Nell will be there with some fun surprises?
Get Uncomfortable (RSVP) |
The six-month program integrates the emotional with the practical—tackling themes of leadership, finance, operations, and capital access, and pairing those with structured support for the isolation, emotional volatility, and decision fatigue that define owning your own business.
It is designed by entrepreneurs who have navigated the same terrain and understand that sustainable business growth cannot be separated from the personal development and resilience required to sustain it.
You deserve sophisticated, integrated support to get you to your next chapter, however you define it.
Reserve Your Spot at the Table |
Applications are open for the next cohort, commencing this October.
The Fellowship is for established women business owners who have moved beyond the startup phase and are now navigating the complex challenges of scaling their companies. We combine mentorship with group learning sessions, connecting you with Michigan’s top business leaders and a network of experienced entrepreneurs. This is a place for growth, strategy, and—most importantly—community.
