Come home to yourself.

You don't need another pep talk. You need a room where you can finally exhale.

This isn't a conference where you sit, nod and go home unchanged. it's a small circle of women telling the truth - about the exhaustion, the quiet longing, the parts of yourself you've set aside to keep everything else running.

For four hours, nobody needs anything from you. You get to listen, to be heard, and to remember who you are underneath every role you carry.

A delicious lunch is served

Enjoy a beautifully prepared meal in an elegant setting while you connect with women who get it.

WHAT YOU'LL TAKE HOME

Come for the conversation. Leave with possibility.

Questions You Might Have

  • Do I need to know anyone there?

    Not at all! You don’t have to know anyone—you just have to come as you are. LOUD Whisper ® gatherings are designed to be warm, welcoming, and intimate spaces built specifically to help you meet other women beyond the business card and make genuine connections.

  • What's included with my ticket?

    Your ticket includes full access to the event experience:

    • A delicious, beautifully prepared meal served at Stonebridge Country Club.
    • A guided reflection and honest, soul-searching conversations.
    • Interactive group discussions and open networking.
    • Practical takeaways, including the "Now What?" Blueprint- a set of simply daily practicies to help you recognize what's draining you, set healthy boundaries, and make room for your own needs.
  • Why only 30 women?

    We intentionally limit this gathering to just 30 women to preserve an intimate, safe space. Keeping the group small ensures everyone has the room to share real stories, engage in deeper conversations, and experience true, life-altering connection.

  • What should I bring?

    Just bring yourself and an open heart! All materials for guided reflections will be provided. Come ready for great conversation, fresh perspectives, and genuine community.   

  • What is your refund policy?

    Because seating is strictly limited to 30 women and a headcount is required in advance for lunch catering, tickets are non-refundable. However, if you are unable to make it, your ticket is fully transferable to a friend who would benefit from joining us!

This is your sign, beautiful soul.
