In a world that rewards composure and silence, it can feel scary to share what’s really going on. In this presentation, I will open with how my infertility journey forced me to be vulnerable at work with my manager and peers, and how that honest conversation transformed those relationships. I’ll explore why sharing what’s hard isn’t a weakness, but a bridge that brings people closer.
Using examples from real life scenarios and referencing well known authors and speakers, people will leave with a sigh of relief knowing they can have the hard conversations and build connections in work and in personal life.

Lafayette MO Chapter Meeting - S.O.S Circle
2026-02-17 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | The Dreamer’s Loft, 2710 Lafayette Ave, St. Louis, MO, 63104, United States
HOSTED BY: Michell Stockmann
TOPIC: S.O.S Circle
WHERE: The Dreamer’s Loft: 2710 Lafayette Ave, St. Louis MO 63104
WHEN: Tuesday, February 17, 2026 – 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.

O'Fallon Chapter Meeting - "Let Them" – A Conversation on Letting Go
2026-01-26 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Bella Milano O’Fallon, 455 Regency Park, O'Fallon, IL, 62269, United States
Hosted By: Michell Stockman
Topic: “Let Them” – A Conversation on Letting Go
Where: **Because of the snow – this has been moved to a virtual meeting via Zoom. Check your email.
Monday, January 26, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST
You’ve likely heard the phrase or read the book from Mel Robbins, but what exactly is the Let Them Theory – and why is it resonating with so many women?
Let’s start the new year off by breaking down the Let Them Theory, a mindset shift rooted in the belief that when we stop trying to control others’ choices and behaviors, we create more peace, clarity, and personal freedom for ourselves. Whether it’s someone declining an invite, not showing up how we hoped, or choosing a different path – we let them. And in doing so, we let ourselves rise above the noise and focus on what truly matters.
We’ll explore:

A simple explanation of the Let Them Theory and its powerful message
Share real stories from women who have embraced it – what worked, what was hard, and what changed
Practical tips for setting boundaries, releasing control, and staying grounded in your truth
Group discussion to share, reflect, and support one another through our own “let them” moments

✨ You do not need to have read the book or do any prep – we will share the main idea – just come with an open heart and a willingness to discuss or listen. This space is about real talk, real experiences, and real support.
Let them… and let yourself thrive.

North County Chapter Meeting - S.O.S Circle
2026-01-22 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Chicago) | Irma Jean’s Restaurant, 2109 Charbonier Rd, Florissant, MO, 63031, United States
HOSTED BY: Ebony Williams
TOPIC: S.O.S. Circle
WHERE: Irma Jean’s Restaurant: 2109 Charbonier Rd. Florissant, MO 63031
WHEN: Thursday January 22, 2026 – 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.

WEW Member Empowerment Meetup (MEM)

THEME: Keep What Works, Release What Doesn’t
DATE: Thursday January 22, 2026
TIME: 8:00-9:00 AM
LOCATION: Zoom – Members Only
MEMBERS: Please sign in to get access to register

January doesn’t have to be about a full reset or unrealistic resolutions. This Member Empowerment Meetup is about something more honest: taking stock.
Together, we’ll reflect on what actually served you in the last year – in business, relationships, routines, and life and give ourselves permission to release what no longer fits. No goal-setting pressure. No “new year, new you” hype. Just thoughtful conversation, clarity, and support from other WEW Members.
Come ready to share, listen, and walk away feeling grounded instead of overwhelmed.

You’ll walk away with ideas for your first 3-5 posts and connections that will cheer you on as you build momentum.
