It’s a place where people walk in and feel something where pieces from the past find their way into new homes and new memories begin. \nHer path from critical care nurse to shop owner is rooted in the same calling: caring deeply\, noticing what others might overlook\, and holding space for what matters. And today\, she shares a message that reflects that journey… one about filling your own cup first\, so you can truly pour into others \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nContact this Speaker Directly:\nChristine Blanquart – Blanquart’s Vintage Market\nFacebook: facebook.com/BlanquartsVintageMarket \nInstagram: instagram.com/blanquartsvintagemarket \nWebsite: blanquartsrustygem.lovable.app/[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]WEW events are all about connection and community\, and we love sharing those moments.

SUMMARY:Orange County Chapter Meeting - S.O.S. Circle
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nHOSTED BY: Mariya Pesheva\nTOPIC: S.O.S. Circle\nWHERE: Ronald McDonald House Orange County: 383 S Batavia St\, Orange\, CA 92868\nWHEN: Friday October 16\, 2026 – 12:30PM-2:00PM PST\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is an S.O.S. Circle?\n\n\n\n\nAn 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. \nFor 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. \nIn 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. \nThe 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nContact Orange County’s Host Directly:\nMariya Pesheva – Orange County Chapter Leader\nEmail: mariapesheva33@gmail.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nWEW events are all about connection and community\, and we love sharing those moments.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nHOSTED BY: Michell Stockmann & Sandy Fenili\nTOPIC: S.O.S Circle\nWHERE: Rung For Women: 2717 Sidney Street St. Louis MO 63104\nWHEN: Wednesday\, October 14\, 2026 – 4:00PM-5:30PM CST\nWhat is an S.O.S. Circle?\nAn 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. \nFor 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. \nIn 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. \nThe 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.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nContact this Chapter Leader Directly:\nMichell Stockmann\nEmail: michell@wewnational.com \nSandy Fenili\nEmail: sandy@shinerem.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nWEW events are all about connection and community\, and we love sharing those moments.

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. \nFor 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. \nIn 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. \nThe 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nContact Orange County’s Host Directly:\nMariya Pesheva – Orange County Chapter Leader\nEmail: mariapesheva33@gmail.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nWEW events are all about connection and community\, and we love sharing those moments.

SUMMARY:Soulard MO Chapter Meeting - S.O.S Circle
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nHOSTED BY: Michell Stockmann & Sandy Fenili\nTOPIC: S.O.S Circle\nWHERE: Rung For Women: 2717 Sidney Street St. Louis MO 63104\nWHEN: Wednesday\, September 9\, 2026 – 4:00PM-5:30PM CST\nWhat is an S.O.S. Circle?\nAn 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. \nFor 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. \nIn 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. \nThe 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.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nContact this Chapter Leader Directly:\nMichell Stockmann\nEmail: michell@wewnational.com \nSandy Fenili\nEmail: sandy@shinerem.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nWEW events are all about connection and community\, and we love sharing those moments.

SUMMARY:St Charles Chapter Meeting - The Turbulence of Transition; Choosing Yourself and Living Your Values After Twenty Years of Service to Others
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nGUEST SPEAKER: Eva Henry\nTOPIC: The Turbulence of Transition; Choosing Yourself and Living Your Values After Twenty Years of Service to Others\nWHERE: Pio’s Restaurant – 403 1st Capitol Drive\, St. Charles\, MO 63301\nWHEN: Wednesday September 9\, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST\n\n\nEva Henry is a 20-year Air Force veteran whose dynamic career spanned both technical operations and international leadership development. She began her military journey as a munitions troop\, mastering the art of building explosives with precision and purpose. As her career evolved\, so did her passion for leadership\, which eventually led to her becoming a sought-after instructor and curriculum developer\, teaching U.S. and allied military members around the world. \nFluent in Polish\, she was selected to serve as the curriculum developer for an international military school where she played a key role in integrating leadership curriculum into the Polish Air Force\, breaking barriers and building bridges through education and cultural connection. \nHer versatile career included leadership roles in Executive Administration\, Quality Assurance and Compliance\, and Senior Operations Management\, with each position reinforcing her reputation as a mission-focused leader with a heart for people. \nAfter retirement\, her service continued. She became an Employment Resource Coordinator\, leading workshops on crafting winning resumes\, negotiating salaries\, and confidently navigating interviews. Today\, she serves as an Adjunct Instructor\, specializing in Human Capital and Leadership Development for the Air Force Guard and Reserve\, a workshop facilitator with Trailhead Leadership\, and a leadership trainer with GiANT Worldwide\, helping individuals and organizations unlock their full potential through values-based\, purpose-driven development. She and her husband also own a Property Investment Company\, Henry Properties Holdings\, LLC. \nBeyond her professional roles\, she remains deeply involved in the veteran community. She is an active member of The Mission Continues Saint Louis Service Platoon\, a dedicated volunteer with the Veterans Community Project\, a Lifetime Member of VFW Post 1739\, and serves as a board member for VetBiz\, a non-profit that empowers veterans\, military spouses\, and military families to start\, scale\, and successfully exit small businesses. \nShe is a graduate of The Women Veterans Leadership Program\, holds a Bachelor of Science in Social Psychology\, and earned her Master of Science in Counseling – a reflection of her deep commitment to understanding and empowering others. She was recently accepted into Northwestern University\, where she will continue her studies in counseling. \nOriginally from Chicago\, she realized she was a misplaced country girl and now calls the cornfields of the Midwest home\, where she finds her greatest joy in her family\, her husband Blake (a fellow veteran)\, their son Koen\, and daughter Claire. Together\, they thrive in the great outdoors\, whether it’s hiking\, camping\, or just finding creative ways to avoid WiFi. She finds solace in running and is easily influenced to sign up for 5k runs\, especially if free T-shirts are involved. She has a deep love for a good book and takes pride in the symmetry of meat and cheese through the masterpieces she creates for The Charc Bite\, her itty-bitty charcuterie side gig. \nHer leadership style may be mission-driven\, but her life is joy-fueled. Whether she’s building munitions\, building leaders\, or building snack boards\, she brings passion\, purpose\, and a little bit of fun to everything she does. \nTransition is rarely just about changing careers; it’s about rediscovering who you are when the structure\, rank\, and mission are no longer defining your every move. Many of us become deeply conditioned to live according to external expectations: mission first\, people before self\, accomplishment over authenticity. \nThose principles create exceptional professionals\, service members\, and leaders\, but over time\, many of us lose touch with our own values outside of the uniform or position. We become experts at fulfilling roles while quietly suppressing pieces of ourselves in order to meet the demands of the job. \nWe don’t fully realize how much of our identity is tied to performance\, structure\, and service until those things disappear overnight. The rhythm changes. The recognition fades. The expectations shift. What remains is a difficult but necessary question: \nWhat do I actually value when no one else is defining it for me? \nThat question became the foundation for rebuilding\, not just a career\, but a life aligned with authenticity\, purpose\, and personal conviction. \nTakeaways: \nLiving your values after a transition is not selfishness; it’s integrity. \nAfter a transition\, we wrestle with the invisible tension between who we were expected to be and who we truly want to become. \nTransition often exposes fears that we struggle to voice: \n• Fear of losing relevance. \n• Fear of disappointing others by choosing themselves. \n• Fear of stepping outside the identity that once gave life clarity and meaning. \nThis workshop is about learning to live from your values instead of simply living according to obligations. It exposes the hidden grief\, uncertainty\, and internal conflict that often accompany transition while also creating a pathway toward intentional\, values-driven leadership in the next season of life. \nThis workshop will give attendees the tools to: \n• Acknowledge the emotional complexity of transition without shame. \n• Reconnect with core identity and personal values. \n• Reimagine their next chapter on their own terms. \nUltimately\, this workshop is an invitation to stop merely surviving transition and start building a life that is fully aligned with your values\, your voice\, and your purpose. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nContact this Speaker Directly:\nEva Henry – Instructor/Facilitator\, Henry Property Holdings\nEmail: evahen26@gmail.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nWEW events are all about connection and community\, and we love sharing those moments.
