SUMMARY:O'Fallon IL Chapter Meeting - Crystal Clarity: How to Protect What Matters Most
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nSpeaker: Ebony Williams\nTopic: Crystal Clarity: How to Protect What Matters Most\nWhere: Bella Milano – 455 Regency Park O’Fallon\, IL 62269\nMonday\, June 29\, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST\nIn a world that glorifies busyness and balance\, Crystal Clarity invites high-achieving women to stop juggling and start aligning. Drawing from her signature framework in The Aligned Achiever\, Ebony Williams dismantles the myth of balance and guides participants toward intentional living grounded in clarity\, purpose\, and aligned priorities. \nThrough 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. Participants will leave equipped to set clear boundaries\, focus their energy where it matters most\, and protect their peace\, values\, and well-being.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]Contact this Speaker Directly:\nEbony Williams – Sr. Director\, Organizational Effectiveness and Culture\, Rung for Women \nEmail: ebony.n.williams@outlook.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nWEW events are all about connection and community\, and we love sharing those moments.

SUMMARY:O'Fallon IL Chapter Meeting - Busy Isn’t a Badge of Honor
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nHosted By: Michell Stockmann\nTopic: Busy Isn’t a Badge of Honor \nWhere: Bella Milano – 455 Regency Park O’Fallon\, IL 62269\nMonday\, July 27\, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST\nA note from Michell about the change in this month’s meeting:\nWell… sometimes things happen exactly when they’re supposed to.\n\nOur scheduled speaker had to cancel at the last minute\, and while that normally sends me scrambling to figure out Plan B\, I think this one may have been perfectly timed.\n\nLast Friday\, I was listening to a podcast while driving\, and honestly\, it hit me right in the gut.\n\nThe episode was about the seven types of rest and why so many of us are exhausted even when we’re getting enough sleep. As I listened\, I found myself thinking\, “Ouch. I needed to hear this.”\n\nAs women\, entrepreneurs\, leaders\, moms\, wives\, volunteers\, caregivers\, and all the other hats we wear\, we’re really good at pushing through. We’re really good at showing up. We’re really good at taking care of everyone else. We’re not always so great at taking care of ourselves.\n\nThe more I listened\, the more I realized this wasn’t something I wanted to keep to myself. If it resonated that strongly with me\, I have a feeling there are others in our WEW community who need to hear it too.\n\nSo this month we’re doing something a little different. We’ll listen to portions of the podcast together and then have an open discussion about what stood out\, what challenged us\, and which type of rest we may be missing in our own lives.\n\nI hope you’ll join us. Something tells me this conversation is one we all need right now.\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]Contact this Host Directly:\nMichell Stockmann \nEmail: michell@wewnational.com[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nWEW events are all about connection and community\, and we love sharing those moments.

SUMMARY:O'Fallon IL Chapter Meeting - An Employee’s Guide to the U.S. Healthcare System — and Ways to Save Money
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nSpeaker: Julie Kappen\nTopic: An Employee’s Guide to the U.S. Healthcare System — and Ways to Save Money\nWhere: Bella Milano – 455 Regency Park O’Fallon\, IL 62269\nMonday\, October 26\, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST\nWith close to 20 years of experience in employee benefits\, including the provider\, carrier and HR space\, Julie brings a multi-pronged approach to help employers navigate the complex health insurance environment. \nAfter starting her career in an oncology practice\, she spent several years at one of the largest pharmacy benefit managers. From there\, Julie spent 5 years working with HR professionals at a consulting firm where she helped small HR teams recruit\, develop\, and retain top talent. \nWith a strong pharmacy benefit background and experience working with jumbo employers\, Julie can help employers tackle their highest healthcare costs through learned strategies from some of the largest companies in the nation. Most recently\, Julie brought digital health programs to enterprise employers across the Southeast to help reduce overall healthcare spend. \nNavigating the U.S. healthcare system and your employer benefit offering can feel overwhelming\, confusing\, and expensive. Employees often feel powerless when faced with increasing premiums\, surprise bills\, and complicated rules.
