SUMMARY:North Houston Chapter Meeting -  S.O.S Circle
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nHOSTED BY: Migdalia Gomez\nTOPIC: S.O.S Circle\nWHERE: Living Holistic – 350 Nursery Rd Suite 1101 The Woodlands TX 77380\nWHEN: Monday\, June 9\, 2025 – 11:30AM – 1:00PM CST\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[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAll chapter meetings are FREE for anyone to attend.  YES!  You read that right. \n\n(We just ask that if a chapter meeting is at a restaurant location\, that you purchase a meal to support the location that is so graciously hosting our event. Don’t forget to tip your server a little extra as most restaurants are struggling with staffing issues and we want to make sure they know how much we appreciate them!) \nEnjoy a proven\, structured system that embraces the building of relationships which in turn will grow your business efficiencies\, sales\, exposure\, and business processes. \nCome meet and learn from panelists\, experts\, and local women in your WEW chapter.  You will also find allies who want to help with your success and are ready to share their resources and expertise to help you take that next step in your personal and professional life. \nFor information about this chapter\, please contact our corporate team at hello@wewnational.com. \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Lafayette 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: The Dreamer’s Loft: 2710 Lafayette Ave\, St. Louis MO 63104 \nWHEN: Tuesday\, May 20\, 2025 – 11:30AM-1:00PM 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 these Chapter Leaders Directly:\nMichell Stockmann & Sandy Fenili\nEmail: michell@wewnational.com \nEmail: sandy@shinerem.com \n  \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAll chapter meetings are FREE for anyone to attend.  YES!  You read that right. \n\n(We just ask that if a chapter meeting is at a restaurant location\, that you purchase a meal to support the location that is so graciously hosting our event.

SUMMARY:O'Fallon Chapter Meeting - Finding your Community through Neighborhood\, Networking\, and Noodles
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nSpeaker: Sonali Alluri\nTopic: Finding your Community through Neighborhood\, Networking\, and Noodles\nWhere: Bella Milano – 455 Regency Park O’Fallon\, IL 62269\nMonday\, May 19\, 2025 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST\nSonali Reddy Alluri\, M.P.H is an advocate for behavioral health\, reproductive justice\, and equity for underserved communities. She is a 2023-2025 national fellow for Govern for America and is the Health Policy Advisor for the Saint Louis County Executive’s Office advising on best practices for mitigating the opioid epidemic. She is a consultant for various non-profit\, private\, and academic institutions on various fields including community program planning\, epidemiology\, and teen mental health. \nSonali is a mentor for the International Mentoring Program (IMP) which helps support international women to succeed personally and professionally in the region. She recently assisted in proclaiming International Mentoring Day on October 27 in Saint Louis County. She is an ambassador for a women-owned company that advocates for diversity and burn survivors. She collaborates with Aspire Advocates\, a non-profit for behavioral health and substance use disorders for adolescents\, and helped to establish the “You Are Loved” initiative for County employees to provide positive messages to show teens they are “no more than an arms length from someone who loves them” and helped proclaimed September 4 as “You Are Loved” Day in Saint Louis County. \nSonali is originally from the East Coast\, born in Boston and raised in New Jersey\, but has lived in Miami and the Caribbean who recently moved to St. Louis when the opportunity to oversee the opioid epidemic program planning presented itself. When she’s not connecting with the community\, you may find her heading off to her next travel adventure\, hosting a dinner party for her friends\, or at the local farmers market searching for fresh baked bread. \nNavigating any new territory is difficult\, especially if you feel like you’re doing it alone. Being a woman or a person of color or neurodivergent (or hey all three of you’re like me!) can feel overwhelming and like the world isn’t built for you – mainly because it wasn’t – but that doesn’t mean we can’t rebuild it in our vision and join together with the people who look through the same lenses. \nMoving to a new place\, getting a new job\, or even trying a new skill can certainly be daunting and yet sometimes it’s redefining yourself in an environment you’ve known your whole life that is almost debilitating – you have to fight the norms and actively push boundaries to become who you’ve always known yourself to be but weren’t given the chance to do so\, be it from yourself or others. \nWhat does community mean to you? Do you have a community of people that you can rely on? Do community and family mean the same thing to you? \nWe will have a conversation answering these questions and more on what you would like your community to look like and how to get there. \nPresentation takeaways: \n– Creating a home away from home and feeling more comfortable in your own neighborhood \n– Experiencing new culture and cuisine that will help connect you to the local environment \n– How to adapt to a new town\, city\, or country through organized spontaneity (there is a method to the madness)[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]Contact this Speaker Directly:\nSonali Alluri\, Health Policy Advisor with Globex Consulting \nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonali-alluri-mph-18898a7a?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app \nEmail: sonalireddyalluri@gmail.com \nPhone Number: 908-305-0430[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nAll chapter meetings are FREE for anyone to attend.  YES!  You read that right. \n\n(We just ask that if a chapter meeting is at a restaurant location\, that you purchase a meal to support the location that is so graciously hosting our event.
