IMPORTANT UPDATE
Dear Houston members and WEW community,
Considering recent thunderstorm effects and considering the challenges many of us are facing, we want to extend our heartfelt support and understanding to each of you. Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the difficult aftermath of the storms.
At times like this, it’s essential to prioritize what truly matters – our homes, families, and well-being. In the spirit of empathy and solidarity, we have decided to cancel our upcoming monthly meeting. This decision is made to ensure that everyone has the time and space needed to focus on returning to normalcy and taking care of what’s most important.
We are here for you, and we understand that sometimes, life’s unexpected turns require us to pause, reflect, and regroup. Please remember to take care of yourselves and each other during this time.
Stay safe, stay strong, and remember that we are a community that supports one another through thick and thin. We look forward to coming together again when the time is right.
With warm regards and understanding,
WEW Leaders

WHERE: West Houston Institute – 2811 Hayes Road, Houston, TX 77082

We will all have an opportunity to share our struggles, successes, and strategies during this deep dive into our SOS section.
What is an S.O.S. Circle?
An S.O.S. Circle is more than just a meeting—it’s a transformative experience where women come together to uplift and empower each other. Attendees have the opportunity to forge deep connections, dispel feelings of isolation, and emerge stronger, more resilient, and united in their journey towards personal and professional fulfillment.
For many women, celebrating successes can be challenging due to societal expectations and fear of being perceived as boastful. Likewise, sharing struggles may feel daunting as it requires vulnerability and the fear of judgment.
In a guided open forum setting, participants are invited to bravely share their triumphs and challenges, knowing that they are among a community of women who understand and empathize.
The acronym S.O.S. stands for “Share Our Successes” or “Share Our Struggles” and embodies the core purpose of the circle. This offers a safe space for women to bravely share their struggles and vulnerabilities, recognizing that doing so is not a sign of weakness but of strength and resilience.
