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. Through the shared experiences of triumphs and tribulations, attendees forge deep connections, dispel feelings of isolation, and emerge stronger, more resilient, and united in their journey towards personal and professional fulfillment.
The acronym S.O.S. stands for “Share Our Successes” or “Share Our Struggles” and embodies the core purpose of the circle: to provide a platform for women to openly discuss both their triumphs and their challenges, knowing they are among understanding peers.
In a guided open forum setting, participants are invited to bravely share their struggles and successes, knowing that they are among a community of women who understand and empathize.
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.
The S.O.S. Circle 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. Within this circle of trust, women find compassionate ears, supportive shoulders, and invaluable guidance from those who have walked similar paths.
All chapter meetings are FREE for anyone to attend. YES! You read that right.

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!)

Topic: My Parents are Aging. What Do I Need to Know?
Where: Bella Milano – 455 Regency Park O’Fallon, IL 62269
Monday, May 20, 2024 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST
I studied psychology at Belhaven College then completed a Master’s in Social Work at Washington University with a concentration in gerontology and a specialization in family therapy. My 25 year career in social work in the St Louis community includes work with psychiatric, medical and geriatric settings.
Aging Gracefully beautifully marries my education and passions. Geriatric care management is an individualized and personalized service. I collaborate with you to tailor services to the circumstances and needs of your family. I love spending time with families and individuals and really knowing their stories. I enjoy collaborating and advocating with others including doctors, nurses, home health agencies, caregivers, etc. With years of experience, I have knowledge of competent geriatric medical professionals and facilities in the St. Louis area. I am a willing and capable advocate for clients and families because of my passion for them and my professional experience.
Aging often refocuses our attention from activity and busyness to self-reflection and relational healing. It is my privilege to assist families to finish well during the twilight years of the older generation. My desire is to free families from daily care management tasks so they are able to relate as son, daughter, husband, wife, friend, etc. It is my pleasure to take care of the details of life and navigate systems so that your time as a family can be spent enjoying one another.
It is always difficult to start conversations around aging and end of life, but we know that preparedness helps us keep our independence.
Key points:
-Ways to start hard conversations.
-Why is it important to plan for the future.
-Important documents to have in place.
-Housing options for seniors. Contact this Speaker Directly:

As the Director of Advancement for Miriam School and Learning Center, she’s passionate about empowering unique learners and building a brighter future for all.

[CANCELLED]Houston Chapter Meeting - Branding Videos and Photography
2024-07-25 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | West Houston Institute, 2811 Hayes Road, Houston, 77082
GUEST SPEAKERS: Gabriela Elizondo – Gonzales & Her Daughter
TOPIC: Branding Videos & Photography
WHERE: West Houston Institute – 2811 Hayes Road, Houston, TX 77082

Gabriela Elizondo Gonzales, a wife, mother of four and grandmother of five, a woman of resilience and compassion. With over two decades of experience as a successful photographer, Gabriela’s life took an unexpected turn with the onset of the pandemic. Facing canceled photoshoots and lost clients, she found herself searching for purpose amidst the uncertainty.
But rather than succumbing to despair, Gabriela chose to renew her mind and find ways to make a positive impact. As she decluttered her house, she was reminded of those who had lost their jobs and were in dire need. A simple act of kindness to one family sparked a fire within Gabriela to do more.
Using her platform on social media, Gabriela began rallying her community to help those in need. Through her subdivision’s Facebook page and personal account, friends and neighbors donated clothing, household items, and furniture for families struggling to make ends meet. The response was overwhelming, fueling Gabriela’s passion even further.
What began as a mission to provide basic necessities quickly grew into something much larger. Gabriela started Gabriela’s Families in Need, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping low-income families. With the support of her friends and partners, she has been able to assist 252 families and counting,offering hope, opportunity, and comfort in challenging times.
Adding yet another dimension to her already multi-faceted life, she wholeheartedly supports her son’s company, Fly Factory Custom T-Shirts, and Promotional Products, serving as his trusted personal assistant. This demonstrates her unparalleled commitment to family and the success of loved ones.
One of Gabriela’s lifelong dreams, as she prayerfully became the official photographer for Lakewood Church after steadfastly believing in its realization for 14 long years. Even though her season at Lakewood ended she still gets excited to share that story. Additionally, she is the former, Director of Photography for H Texas Magazine, her talent and passion was showcased to a wide audience. Contact this Speaker Directly:
