TIME: 8:00-9:00 AM

MEMBERS: Please sign in to get access to register

As summer approaches, this MEM invites us to pause and ask: What actually matters right now?
June is about intentional space: in calendars, commitments, relationships, and energy. We’ll talk about creating room for rest, joy, and presence without losing momentum or feeling behind.
This is a gentle reset before summer schedules take over.
Conversation flow may include:

What feels meaningful in this season
Where your time and energy are being spent vs. where you want them to go
Saying no without guilt
Designing a summer rhythm that works for you

St Charles Chapter Meeting - Networking Successes, Struggles & The Human Side of Professional Relationships
2026-06-10 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Pio’s Restaurant, 403 1st Capitol Drive, St. Charles, MO, 63301, United States
HOSTED BY: Amy Rannebarger
TOPIC: Networking Successes, Struggles & The Human Side of Professional Relationships
WHERE: Pio’s Restaurant – 403 1st Capitol Drive, St. Charles, MO 63301
WHEN: Wednesday June 10, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

This month’s SOS is a special one.

We spend a lot of time talking about networking as if it’s just about making connections, growing visibility, exchanging business cards, or building opportunity.

But the truth is that professional relationships are still relationships. And humans are complicated.

Sometimes people surprise us.
Sometimes we misjudge situations.
Sometimes someone presents differently in one environment than another.
Sometimes communication gets awkward.
Sometimes boundaries matter.
Sometimes professionalism gets tested.

And sometimes the hardest part of networking isn’t meeting people, it’s navigating the human behavior attached to professional relationships.
So, this month’s Special SOS will be a guided group and table conversations centered around the real experiences, successes, struggles, lessons learned, awkward moments, communication challenges, boundaries, red flags, and unexpected situations that come with building professional relationships.
Just honest, open conversation about the very real experiences that shape how we build trust, connection, reputation, and community in business and leadership.

Because sometimes the most valuable thing in the room isn’t a lead.

It’s perspective.
It’s discernment.
It’s support.
And honest conversation that makes us all a little wiser.

Soulard MO Chapter Meeting - S.O.S Circle
2026-06-10 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, June 10, 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.

There is something powerful that happens when women come together and speak honestly…not just about the wins, also about the moments that felt hard, messy, or uncertain too.
This roundtable is a space to share both the successes and the struggles, to be seen, supported, and reminded that you are not alone in your journey.

Together, we will explore how greater awareness, intentional choices, and personal growth can help us move from simply hoping for
to creating it.
Because when we become more intentional with how we think, respond, and show up for ourselves, we begin to unlock the very goals we once thought were out of reach.

Edwardsville Chapter Meeting - “A Woman’s Story: I CHOOSE ME…& Everything Else Comes 2nd”
2026-06-11 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Bella Milano Edwardsville, 1063 S State Rte 157, Edwardsville, IL, 62025, United States
GUEST SPEAKER: Tisha Dolby
TOPIC: “A Woman’s Story: I CHOOSE ME…& Everything Else Comes 2nd”
WHERE: Bella Milano – 1063 S State Rte 157 Edwardsville, IL
WHEN: Thursday, June 11, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

Tisha Dolby is a survivor and overcomer of various life challenges. From birth Tisha was exposed to alcoholism and drug addiction. By the age of five she was enduring child abuse and domestic violence. The cycle of abuse continued all the way through her mid-twenties. By the age of eleven Tisha had the responsibility of caring for a comatose family member and this lasted for almost four years before being placed back in an abusive situation. The cycle of placement continued until Tisha aged out at which time, she moved in with a family member and fell victim to sexual abuse. To cope with the sexual assault, she began drinking and staying away from the home to avoid seeing and dealing with the person that was assaulting her. The sexual abuse only ended once she became pregnant with her first child (not her abuser’s) Tisha went from one abusive relationship to another over the next seven years as well as the loss of her daughter to SIDS. While carrying her fourth child to her fourth baby’s father she knew things weren’t getting better but worse and knew a change needed to happen. Tisha vowed to do what was necessary for her children, not to endure the life she had been subject to making the decision to raise her children in a single parent home and focus on God, healing, growing, and maturing. Tisha began to take the steps to break the cycles that have plagued her family for years.
​
Tisha has dedicated herself to helping others by utilizing her 25 plus years of experience working with various organizations in roles such as mentor, guest speaker, facilitator, and support services. While not having many resources available to her when she is enduring her own trials and tribulations, she vowed that she would become that resource for her clients and community. Tisha provides a source of relatability for the clientele she serves because she comes from a place of “I’ve been where you are” which allows the clients the ability to open-up and feel comfortable. Tisha works closely with families, schools, doctors, community partners and local government to provide outcomes, plans and services that will benefit all parties involved. Tisha assists clientele with basic computer skills, job search, training classes, parenting skills, coping with abuse (verbal, emotional, mental, physical and drug), loss of a child and support services. Power ~ Passion ~ Purpose Inc. focuses on love, support and understanding without judgement or condemnation. Power ~ Passion ~ Purpose Inc. family works to meet the clients and community where they are and nurture them through whatever the situation is for as long as it may take. As a client of Power ~ Passion ~ Purpose Inc. you are not a client, your part of our family and we are available to you morning, noon, or night.
Over the past two years Tisha has expanded the organization’s partnerships by joining forces with several other for-profit and nonprofit businesses by ways of coalitions, community events and the relocation of the organization from California to Texas. The relocation to Texas included relaunching our Community Thanksgiving meal feeding, hosting our first conference locally, as well as several collaborations with local sister agencies on community outreach. We are launching three of our signature programs in January 2024. Lastly, we have begun our expansion process for the organization to begin operating the other two phases of Power Passion Purpose Inc. (the phased out transitional housing and the resource center hub) where we operate from a people centered trauma informed care perspective.
Tish’s Motto: “If you have breath in your body…you’re not finished yet”
To God be the glory and honor! Many Blessing & Much Love – Tish
The 5 Steps to creating your I Choose Me Box. We will go over the steps how to be intentional and take O.A.R. (Ownership, Accountability, Responsibility) of who and what we say we are and want. We focus on Being as we are Becoming.
Presentation takeaways:
The top three would be:
1. By choosing me I became a better version of myself therefore I can show up more for those I love.
2. By choosing me I am prioritizing my mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well being therefore healing and practicing self-love.
3. By choosing me I gain the freedom to walk in my authentic self.

WHEN: Tuesday June 16, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

By mid-year, many of the goals and intentions we set in January can feel distant or buried under the weight of real life. Our responsibilities grow, priorities shift, and sometimes our vision gets clouded by everything else we’re carrying. We want to hit the reset button but dread the thought of starting over. We want to break up with the things that have us feeling stuck but don’t have the time or energy to figure out how.
The good news, there’s a way to move forward that doesn’t require a complete overhaul. Meaningful progress doesn’t start with perfect plans. It starts with the one you choose.
In this purposeful session, leadership success coach Pamela C. King will guide you through a powerful yet practical mindset shift: instead of trying to fix everything at once, start by identifying the one meaningful vision, one courageous decision, and one simple step that can move you forward right now.
Key Takeaways
• Reconnect with what matters most right now
• Learn a simple framework for overcoming overwhelm and regaining focus
• Identify one meaningful step that can move your goals forward immediately

July is often social, loud, and busy – and for many women, that brings an unspoken pressure to show up in certain ways. This MEM is about being seen as you are, not who you think you’re supposed to be.
We’ll talk about visibility, authenticity, and the difference between presence and performance in business, leadership, relationships, and community.
Conversation flow may include:

Where you feel pressure to perform
What authenticity looks like right now
Showing up without overexplaining or proving
Feeling seen without being on display

Soulard MO Chapter Meeting - S.O.S Circle
2026-07-08 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, July 8, 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.

Charleston SC Chapter Meeting - Strong Through Gentleness: Emotional Intelligence for Women Leaders
2026-07-13 08:45 - 10:00 (America/New_York) | Serendipity Labs, 75 Port City Lndg Suite 110, Mt Pleasant, SC, 29464, United States
GUEST SPEAKER: Roberta Moore
TOPIC: Strong Through Gentleness: Emotional Intelligence for Women Leaders
WHERE: Serendipity Labs: 75 Port City Lndg Suite 110, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464
WHEN: Monday July 13 , 2026 – 8:45AM-10:00AM EST

What if the qualities you’ve been taught to soften (empathy, intuition, emotional awareness, and thoughtful leadership) are actually your greatest strengths?
So many women have learned to lead by holding everything together, staying capable, composed, productive, and dependable for everyone around them. But over time, that pressure can disconnect us from our own voice, instincts, confidence, and emotional truth.
In this empowering and interactive session, emotional intelligence strategist and executive coach Roberta Moore invites women leaders to explore a different path: one where strength is not measured by how hard you push, but by how deeply you know yourself.
Using her signature “Roberta’s Radar” experience and the principles of emotional intelligence, Roberta will help attendees uncover the hidden patterns that influence leadership, communication, confidence, and decision-making under pressure.
This conversation is about reclaiming the parts of yourself that success may have taught you to silence and learning how those qualities can become your greatest leadership advantage.
Attendees will leave with greater self-awareness, practical leadership insight, and a renewed understanding that powerful leadership does not require becoming harder, louder, or less human.

Virtual Chapter Meeting - Flipping Fear: Choosing Facts over Fiction.
2026-07-14 09:00 - 10:00 (America/Chicago) | https://wewnational.com/event/virtual-chapter-meeting-7-14-2026/
GUEST SPEAKER: Iris Navarrette
TOPIC: Flipping Fear: Choosing Facts over Fiction.

WHEN: Tuesday, July 14, 2026 – 9:00AM-10:00AM CST
Hosted By: Michell Stockmann
Fear has had the microphone long enough. It has narrated risks; it has even exaggerated perceived failures. It may have even predicted your defeat. But fear is not a fortune teller; it’s a storyteller. When you have tools to edit the script, you can author a different narrative, and “When you know better, you GROW better!”
This presentation will help attendees learn how to pause, examine the thoughts driving their fear, and separate what is actually true from what fear is trying to make them believe. By choosing facts over fiction, women can begin to reclaim their confidence, make clearer decisions, and move forward with greater peace and purpose.
Whether fear has been showing up in business, relationships, leadership, personal growth, or stepping into something new, this session will offer practical encouragement and mindset shifts to help attendees stop giving fear the final word. It is about recognizing fear, reframing it, and taking back your power one truth at a time.
So, when fear speaks, interrupt it.
And when you live fact-first instead of fear-first, you don’t just change decisions; you change direction.

Orange County Chapter Meeting - S.O.S. Circle
2026-07-17 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 July 17, 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.
