Foster meaningful connections with other women professionals.
We know women don't grow alone.
The Belonging Collaborative believes that women need genuine connections to thrive and support to flourish in every area of their life and work.
Meaningful Community
Genuine Connections
Intuitive Support
Many of us women are
• solving problems all by myself,
• trying to mitigate the next career move,
• managing anxiety of future, family, & finances,
• and long for genuine connection with other like-hearted women.
Of course you feel the weight of it all.

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.
Commitment - your presence matters and affects the culture. Showing up in our life and work by keeping our word is foundational to building character.
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 experiences. That’s why we use proven tools and frameworks to foster safety, guide meaningful conversations, and move beyond surface-level connection.
Isn't it about time you give yourself permission to share your story?
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 coaching practice and longed for meaningful and genuine connections with other female professionals.
Women don't grow alone. We 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 thrive and do our best when we are supported by others. 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:
Everyone has something to contribute, even if it's a hug.
Relational Accountability:
We believe in keeping our word and showing up with vulnerability with even when it hurts.
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 flourish. We don't promise more information, but we do promise the opportunity for transformation!
