Deb Hennen of Heart 2 Spirit is a professional animal communicator with over seven years of experience helping people deepen their connection with their beloved pets. From a young age, Deb felt a natural and intuitive bond with animals imagining a future where she could understand them like “Dr. Doolittle.” Through her work, she strengthens the relationship between people and animals, living and in spirit, bringing clarity, comfort, and a deeper sense of connection. Offering virtual sessions using a photo of your pet, Deb provides a unique opportunity to truly understand what your animal companion is thinking and feeling.
During this special presentation, several attendees will be selected to ask their pet one question. Using a photo, Deb will connect directly with your animal and share the response she receives from their perspective. People often find the information that comes through is specific, meaningful, and brings a greater sense of clarity and understanding.
Whether you’re simply curious or have something you’ve been wondering about, this is an opportunity to experience a different way of connecting with your pet.
You’re invited to bring a photo and a question and be open to what comes through.

We will use the My Milestones by Commerce tool to explore estate planning resources and where to start. It can be intimidating thinking about the future, as we never know what tomorrow may bring. Fortunately, there are tools individuals can use to prepare and plan for the unexpected and detail their unique wishes. In this session, we’ll dive into what an estate plan is, highlighting the different benefits it provides individuals—whether you’re in college or nearing retirement. After discussing what can happen if you pass away without an estate plan, the session explores key terms and common estate planning documents. While everyone’s situation is unique, we’ll cover checklist items that people generally follow when creating their estate plan. Finally, the session wraps up with an overview of estate planning mistakes to avoid, which can ultimately help give you and your loved ones peace of mind that your wishes are covered.

August can feel heavy. Transitions, schedule changes, and leadership responsibilities don’t pause just because you’re tired. And summer is almost over and there’s so much we haven’t done yet!! This MEM creates space to talk honestly about leadership fatigue and how to lead with integrity when your energy is low.
This isn’t about pushing through, it’s about sustainable leadership and self-compassion.
Conversation flow may include:

Signs of emotional or decision fatigue
Letting go of the “strong all the time” narrative
Asking for help and delegating with confidence
Leading from values, not depletion

Soulard MO Chapter Meeting - S.O.S Circle

TOPIC: S.O.S Circle
WHERE: Rung For Women: 2717 Sidney Street St. Louis MO 63104
WHEN: Wednesday, August 12, 2026 – 4:00PM-5:30PM 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.

O'Fallon MO Chapter Meeting - The Detour Is the Direction: How Getting Lost Leads to Purpose
2026-08-18 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Rendezvous, 217 S Main St., O'Fallon, 63366, United States
GUEST SPEAKER: Nikki Jones
TOPIC: The Detour Is the Direction: How Getting Lost Leads to Purpose
WHERE: Rendezvous: 217 S Main St, O’Fallon, MO 63366
WHEN: Tuesday August 18, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

Most of us were handed a map early on — a version of success that looked a certain way, felt a certain way, and had a very specific destination. But what happens when life reroutes you? When the dream shifts, the passion fades, or you find yourself doing all the “right” things and still feeling completely lost?
This talk is for any woman who has ever felt like she’s fallen behind, dimmed her own light, or quietly wondered if the life she’s living is actually the one she wants. Through personal story, real talk, and practical insight, we’ll explore how the detours — the setbacks, the pivots, the rock bottoms — aren’t signs that you went the wrong way. They’re often the very experiences that lead you back to yourself and forward into your purpose.
Because sometimes getting lost is exactly how you find out who you really are.

Through powerful insights, relatable storytelling, and actionable tools, this session helps women identify what’s truly crystal: the non-negotiable areas of life that deserve protection and what’s flexible: the tasks and expectations that can bounce.

North County Chapter Meeting - Be Well: Prioritizing Yourself While Accepting, Embracing, and Honoring your Calling.
2026-08-27 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Associated Bank, 10044 W. Florissant Ave, St. Louis, MO, 63136, United States
GUEST SPEAKER: Kimberly Hunt
TOPIC: Be Well: Prioritizing Yourself While Accepting, Embracing, and Honoring your Calling.
WHERE: Associated Bank 10044 W. Florissant Ave St. Louis, MO 63136
WHEN: Thursday August 27, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

Kim Hunt knows what it means to show up when life falls apart — and more importantly, she continues to learn not to just show up well, but to actually Be Well. In 2017, Kim’s world shifted in ways she never anticipated. Within weeks of one another, she lost one of her closest childhood friends and her beloved father. A self-described daddy’s girl, Kim was navigating profound grief while simultaneously stepping into an extraordinary calling: Instant Motherhood. She inherited three of her friend’s six children, becoming an instant mother to the three youngest, ages fourteen, six, and two, while remaining a central part of the support system for all six. She was simultaneously opening her home to another family in need and navigating an unexpected job loss. There was no slow transition, no time to catch her breath. Life arrived all at once, and she had to decide how she would meet it.
What carried her through was a foundation built long before the storms came. Grounded in faith from an early age, Kim accepted Christ at twelve and has carried that foundation into every season of her life. Shaped by a family legacy of Sunday School teachers and decades of ministry service, she serves in several ministries at Living the Word Church. She believes that prayer is not a last resort — it is a powerful gateway to the renewal and transformation that makes being well possible.
Her commitment to community wholeness extends beyond the church walls. Kim is the founder of Saving Black Minds (savingblackminds.org), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to restoring the village — equipping families and communities with the tools to thrive educationally, financially, and vocationally. Over nine years, the organization has provided thousands of school uniforms and hygiene supplies to hundreds of families in need. She also serves as Program Facilitator for It’s A Queen Thing, a girls; mentoring program dedicated to uplifting the next generation of young women.
Professionally, Kim serves as HR and Workforce Development Manager at Inspired Solutions, a certified Woman-Owned federal IT contractor — leading both a team of Training Coordinators and the organization’s full HR function. The servant-leadership that defines her ministry and community work is evident at every level of her professional life.
Today, those children are grown and thriving — a testament to the village Kim refused to let fall. And Kim Hunt, mother, servant, nonprofit founder, and HR professional, is living proof that you can walk through the fire and still choose to Be Well. Guided by her favorite scripture, Luke 1:37, she holds fast to the belief that with God, nothing is impossible.

St Charles Chapter Meeting - The Turbulence of Transition; Choosing Yourself and Living Your Values After Twenty Years of Service to Others
2026-09-09 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Pio’s Restaurant, 403 1st Capitol Drive, St. Charles, MO, 63301, United States
GUEST SPEAKER: Eva Henry
TOPIC: The Turbulence of Transition; Choosing Yourself and Living Your Values After Twenty Years of Service to Others
WHERE: Pio’s Restaurant – 403 1st Capitol Drive, St. Charles, MO 63301
WHEN: Wednesday September 9, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

Eva 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.
Fluent 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.
Her 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.
After 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.
Beyond 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.
She 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.
Originally 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.
Her 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.
Transition 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.
Those 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.
We 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:
What do I actually value when no one else is defining it for me?
That question became the foundation for rebuilding, not just a career, but a life aligned with authenticity, purpose, and personal conviction.
Takeaways:
Living your values after a transition is not selfishness; it’s integrity.
After a transition, we wrestle with the invisible tension between who we were expected to be and who we truly want to become.
Transition often exposes fears that we struggle to voice:
• Fear of losing relevance.
• Fear of disappointing others by choosing themselves.
• Fear of stepping outside the identity that once gave life clarity and meaning.
This 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.
This workshop will give attendees the tools to:
• Acknowledge the emotional complexity of transition without shame.
• Reconnect with core identity and personal values.
• Reimagine their next chapter on their own terms.
Ultimately, 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.

Soulard MO Chapter Meeting - S.O.S Circle
2026-09-09 16:00 - 17:30 (America/Chicago) | Rung For Women, 2717 Sidney Street, St. Louis, 63104, United States
HOSTED BY: Michell Stockmann & Sandy Fenili
TOPIC: S.O.S Circle
WHERE: Rung For Women: 2717 Sidney Street St. Louis MO 63104
WHEN: Wednesday, September 9, 2026 – 4:00PM-5:30PM 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.

Whether you’re building relationships, solving problems, or getting things done, your strengths are already showing up. The key is learning how to see them and use them more intentionally.
You’ll walk away with one clear insight about what’s strong with you—and one specific way to use it right away.

Riverbend Chapter Meeting - Courage Over Comfort: How Your Hidden Fear Might Be Blocking Your Business Growth
2026-09-18 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Johnson’s Corner, 2000 State Street, Alton, Illinois, 62002
GUEST SPEAKER: Heather Bunch
TOPIC: Courage Over Comfort: How Your Hidden Fear Might Be Blocking Your Business Growth
WHERE: Johnson’s Corner – 2000 State Street Alton, IL 62002
WHEN: Friday September 18, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

We’re capable, driven and building something meaningful. So why do certain steps feel so dang hard?
Why do we procrastinate, overthink things to death, avoid the spotlight, or stay stuck longer than we know we should? (You know… the “I’ll do it tomorrow” tomorrow that keeps moving.) Or we stay busy chasing the next idea, pushing ourselves to look like we have it all together, or trying to carry the whole business on our own because others “just can’t do it like we can.”
In Courage Over Comfort, you’ll uncover your hidden core fear that may be secretly shaping your business decisions and discover the courageous action that can move you past the invisible barriers standing between you and your next level of growth.
Because sometimes the biggest thing standing in the way… isn’t strategy. It’s fear wearing really convincing disguises.

Orange County Chapter Meeting - S.O.S. Circle
2026-09-18 12:30 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Ronals McDonald House Orange County, 383 S Batavia St, Orange, CA, 92868, United States
HOSTED BY: Mariya Pesheva
TOPIC: S.O.S. Circle
WHERE: Ronald McDonald House Orange County: 383 S Batavia St, Orange, CA 92868
WHEN: Friday September 18, 2026 – 12:30PM-2:00PM PST

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.
