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.

West County Chapter Meeting - Vision Boards – Creating Your Vision for 2025

WHERE: ll Bel Lago – 11631 Olive Blvd. St. Louis, MO 63141
WHEN: Thursday, December 19, 2024 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST
How many people do you know that are living their dreams? Are you living your dream? You’ll find that most people are stuck, doing jobs they hate to sustain a lifestyle they’re uncomfortable with. You are most likely in a similar situation where you feel hopeless and lost. The only thing you lack is setting the right goals and planning to achieve them. A vision board can help you with this.
A vision board is a collage of photographs, images, affirmations, and quotes that help you visualize your goals and dreams. Most of us have dreams, but they often get lost in the endless stream of our daily thoughts. This is where vision boards come in. They help you to put your focus back on what matters. When you have a clear vision of what you want, it becomes easier to get into the mindset that will allow you to achieve it. Vision boards serve as a daily reminder of your goals and where you want to be in life. Ultimately, your thoughts align with your goals and manifest into actions that lead to success.
Learn how to create your vision for 2025 and start manifesting your dreams into reality!
Key Takeaways:
Gain self-awareness and self-reflect on what is important to you
Imagine what a positive future could look like
Create a mini vision board as a daily reminder of our dreams and goals
Get fired up emotionally about putting your goals into action for 2025
NOTE: We ask that everyone bring a magazine or two. Scissors, markers, and glue will be provided.

Dr. Jana Haywood was inducted into the St. Louis Sports Hall of Fame in 2018. She has been inducted into the Lutheran North High School Hall of Honor twice; once individually and the other with the 1997-1999 State Track and Field Championship Teams.
Jana was an outstanding student and athlete while at Lutheran North High School in St. Louis, MO. While attending, she competed at the varsity level in three sports: cross-country, basketball and track. She was a member of a three-peat women’s track & field state championship teams (set a state record in the high jump), quarterfinals in state basketball, and advanced to the state championship for two years in cross-country. Jana was the metropolitan area-scoring leader in basketball multiple seasons. She was also the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Student Athlete of the Year.
Jana continued her athletic career at Saint Louis University with a four-year scholarship in basketball. She was co-captain of the team in 2003 and 2004. While she was playing at SLU, the women’s team advanced for the first time to the WNIT. Her basketball skills took her around the world: Puerto Rico, Italy, Spain and France.
She graduated from Saint Louis University with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Human Resources. She continued her education at Fontbonne University with a Master of Arts in Education and Special Education. She also received a Master of Arts in Educational Administration from Lindenwood University. She culminated her studies earning a Doctor of Education in Leadership from Maryville University.
Jana started her career in education in 2005 in the St. Louis Public School District. Her Lutheran education instilled numerous core values with service being foundational. She found success by sharing her personal experiences as she shifted her focus from sports to eliminating barriers that negatively impact students’ academic success, specifically those that disproportionately impact underserved and underrepresented communities. She presents at the Beyond Consequences Trauma-Informed Schools local and national conferences and serves on the advisory council for the Crisis Prevention Institute stressing the importance of de-escalation techniques that exclude restraint and seclusion of students with self-care as the anchor strategy.

Jana is a member of Washington Tabernacle MB Church. She serves on the Julia B. Hattitude Scholarship Fund Committee. She has served on numerous boards in the St. Louis region. Her husband is Carl Hayward Jr. and together they have three children; Carl, Jaila, and Jordyn.
Mental toughness is a muscle that can be trained to develop muscle memory allowing individuals to exert energy in the most productive ways in service of themselves and others. Through daily repetition and practice, mentally tough people fall forward. We all experience setbacks, it is how we respond that sets mentally tough people apart from the rest. During this interactive session, participants will learn techniques that will set them up for success during good and difficult times.

WHERE: ll Bel Lago – 11631 Olive Blvd. St. Louis, MO 63141
WHEN: Thursday, January 16, 2025 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST
Have you ever felt awkward talking with a person who seems different?
Do you wish you could have more genuine conversations?
Could you use some tools to feel confident talking with just about anyone?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, you’re in the right place.
Our presenter today has worked with over 400 leaders around the world as an executive coach helping them to be confident communicators so that they can attract and retain diverse talent.
She holds a PhD in adult learning and has over three-decades experience speaking, teaching and coaching-domestically and internationally.🔸So Often We Default to Silence Because We Don’t Feel Comfortable or Confident Speaking Up. After years of being belittled under the system of minimization, women, people of color and those who are differently-abled may hesitate to speak up for fear of retaliation, misrepresentation, social isolation or job loss, even when asked to speak up. To upend the silence and find our voice, we need cultural intelligence.
🔸Cultural intelligence is what enables us to be in conversation with a person who has a different perspective or background. As a person develops the skills to show compassion for themselves and others, particularly those who have a different experience, they’ll be able to speak up and communicate confidently with just about anyone.
🔸At home this creates more genuine productive relationships; at work this creates more collaboration, commitment and productivity because people can bring their authentic selves.
Presentation takeaways:
In this program, participants will be able to:
👉Uncover the cultivated cultural habit of minimizing our own and other’s voice.
👉Identify the three ways to respond when someone comes in hot.
👉Learn three tools you can use today to feel confident working and talking with just about anyone.
She has created an online course that you can find on her website so you can learn more skills to feel confident working with just about anyone.
On a personal note, Dr. Amy has four adult children who still call her for advice, and a Bassett Hound intern, named Bruce.

Lafayette MO Chapter Meeting - S.O.S Circle
2025-01-21 11:30 - 13:00 | The Dreamer’s Loft, 2710 Lafayette Ave, St. Louis, MO, 63104, United States
HOSTED BY: Michell Stockmann & Sandy Fenili
TOPIC: S.O.S Circle
WHERE: The Dreamer’s Loft: 2710 Lafayette Ave, St. Louis MO 63104
WHEN: Tuesday, January 21, 2025 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST
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.

Edwardsville Chapter Meeting - The Power of Mentorship
2025-02-13 11:30 - 13:00 | Bella Milano Edwardsville, 1063 S State Rte 157, Edwardsville, IL, 62025, United States
GUEST SPEAKER: Angie Springer
TOPIC: The Power of Mentorship
WHERE: Bella Milano – 1063 S State Rte 157 Edwardsville, IL
WHEN: Thursday, February 13, 2025 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

My life mission is to spread H.O.P.E. by Helping Others Propel to Excellence personally, professionally, and passionately. Since 2011, my vehicle to live out this mission has been skincare and cosmetics. I believe that when a woman will share her face with you, she will also share her heart. I have been in leadership with Mary Kay for 13 years where I not only educate and inform on products, ingredients, application, and self care but I train, coach, and mentor women to live their best lives while providing choices. I watch women gain confidence from the outside in by using the products and from the inside out by investing time in their personal development journey.
I came to Mary Kay following successful engineering and real estate careers that served our family well in different seasons of life. Those experiences prepared me for the grit, tenacity, and persistence it takes to be a self-employed leader in the direct selling industry. Every struggle and success during previous seasons shape us into the current better version of ourselves. I have learned to surrender things that are out of my control, control the controllables, and effectively lead those who have been divinely assigned to me with faith, empathy, and authenticity.
I am a wife, mom of 2 daughters, avid reader, nature and water lover, soccer enthusiast, bleacher mom, and Gigi to our oldest daughter’s fur baby, and my newest title as a foster dog mom.
