Foster meaningful connections with other female professionals.
Authentic leadership community for growth minded and high impact women.
Organic Networking
Authentic Support
True Belonging
Many of us women are
• solving problems all by myself,
• trying to mitigate the next career move,
• overwhelmed by our to-do list,
• managing anxiety of future, family, & finances,
• and long for genuine connection with other like-minded women.
Of course you feel the weight of it all.

Let's Talk
No “hello my name is” name tags here.
Our approach to professional development is built on the belief that everyone has something to contribute—and everyone is welcome as they are.
Authentic Conversations
No gossip or gab here. Each weekly Wholehearted ConversationTM is centered on a monthly topic for your personal and professional development. The Belonging Collaborative house rules anchor the conversation to create space of trust.
Useful Coaching
Finding a path forward to clarify your vision and purpose requires deep inner work. During your monthly 1:1 coaching sessions, we’ll intuitively discern together a strategy for setting incremental goals for momentum towards transformation. (Flourish Membership Level only)
Organic Connection
Some networking events feel surface level at best. That’s why we do things a little different at our Belonging Network EventsTM. Each event is designed for you to meet women professionals and organically grow meaningful friendships. We trust the rest to you!

House Rules here.
Authenticity - Stay transparent and real, where the true you is welcome.
Confidentiality - What is shared in the group stays in the group.
Respect - Listen fully when a member speaks and refrain from commenting unless your feedback is solicited.
Sharing - The group time is everyone's time. No one gets to dominate the discussion. Listen more than you speak. Offer others the freedom to share or simply say, "I pass".
Withholding Judgement - Practice staying out of judgement by demonstrating active listening skills, refrain from offering advice or the need to fix, learn to be comfortable with silence, and show up with empathy.
Vulnerability - we value vulnerability as a strength, not a weakness.
We care about creating a space for meaningful connections.
Building community only works when the women who come together can be open with their stories and experience. That’s why we use proven tools and frameworks to foster safety, guide our conversations, and move beyond surface level networking.
You just have to claim it.

Women were made for community & connection
Do you ever feel like you don’t have what you need to flourish in your personal and professional life?
I’ve felt like that, too.
In fact, that’s why I started the Belonging Collaborative. I felt all alone running my own private practice and longed for meaningful connections with other female professionals.
Women need community. Whatever industry, profession, age, or stage of life you’re in, we need one another to grow. When women feel stuck, there’s a good chance community and connection is lacking in her life.
As women, we do our best when we are supported by others—when we celebrate our wins and mourn our losses together. And that’s what we do at the Belonging Collaborative.
Here’s how we create a space where every woman is supported:
Disarming Hospitality:
We believe everyone is welcome as they are.
Spontaneous Generosity:
We believe everyone has something to contribute.
Active listening with empathy:
We believe vulnerability is a strength.
Authentic Celebration:
We celebrate our wins and mourn our losses together.
Join the Belonging Collaborative today to foster meaningful connections with other women and watch your life thrive. Find the support you deserve and flourish in every area of your life!
