We will all have an opportunity to share our struggles, successes, and strategies during this deep dive into our SOS section.
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.
All chapter meetings are FREE for anyone to attend. YES! You read that right.

(Lunch is no longer provided. If you would like to bring a bagged lunch you are more then welcome too.)
Enjoy a proven, structured system that embraces the building of relationships which in turn will grow your business efficiencies, sales, exposure, and business processes.
Come 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.

Monday, October 28, 2024 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST
Pamela Anita Mary Davis, also known as the Queen of Resilience, is a dynamic servant leader, resilience speaker, HR professional, and creative consultant based in St. Louis, MO. She is the founder and CEO of Queen of Resilience, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching the community how to harness resilience through mental health awareness, mentorship, and professional development.
As the creator of The Resilient Approach, Pamela’s mission is to guide people toward discovering their own resilience, unlocking creativity, and embracing their authentic voice. Her passion for this work was ignited during her college years when the word “resilience” resonated deeply within her. She says that she had strength, but didn’t always have the language connected to her strength. She adds that today she can truly say, “I am resilient. God calls us to be resilient.” This realization led Pamela to build a platform of empowerment and healing, with the belief that once you find your voice, you must “Pass The Crown” and share those experiences to help others flourish.
In 2017, Pamela founded Queen of Resilience, Inc., to address the growing need for mental health support in her community, particularly for women and college students. Through this initiative, Pamela has helped countless people manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges, offering them the tools to find strength and self-awareness.
Pamela’s leadership is deeply influenced by the wisdom of her mother, which she carries into her work and life. With a background in human resources, she has experience in diversity and inclusion, recruitment, credentialing, and employee wellness. Her HR expertise, combined with her servant leadership, has earned her a reputation for fostering growth and a positive work environment.
Pamela has a bachelor’s degree in healthcare management from Harris-Stowe State University and a master’s in healthcare administration from Webster University. Her achievements have earned her notable recognition, including the “Women Who Inspire” Award from Delux Magazine and the “Outstanding Alumni in Leadership” distinction from Harris-Stowe State University.
Through her personal and professional journey, Pamela remains dedicated to empowering women and youth to rise above their challenges, embrace their potential, and achieve success by living a life centered on resilience.
As entrepreneurs, we have to understand that there is power in finding joy in resilience. We discover joy when we understand the significance of being our authentic selves and owning our stories. In this work shop, participants will understand the foundation of resilience, the resilient approach and how to own their story.
Participants will:
Understand their own resilient statement
Know the importance of having joy
Apply The Resilient Approach

WHEN: Tuesday, December 17, 2024 – 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.

West County Chapter Meeting - Vision Boards – Creating Your Vision for 2025
2024-12-19 11:30 - 13:00 | Il Bel Lago, 11631 Olive Blvd., St. Louis, MO, 63141
GUEST SPEAKER: Amy Yan
TOPIC: 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.
She has worked as a teacher, athletic director, assistant principal and principal. In 2020 she was selected as the Enterprise Holdings Secondary School Leader of the Year. In 2021 she accepted the position as Principal of Ritenour High School in St. Louis County. Today she is the Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources in the Ferguson-Florissant School District. She also serves as an Adjunct Professor in the School of Education at Saint Louis University.
Dr. Jana Haywood is author of Move Without the Ball, a self-help book for people of all ages who are ready to take their lives to the next level during periods of transition. Jana co-founded Illumine Solutions Group, a coaching and consulting company with her husband to ignite, inspire and empower people as they pursue their personal goals.
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.
