Hey! So Glad You're Here.

Hi. I'm Juad. Mother, wife, daughter and friend. Working to build a community of women that can celebrate, inspire and lift each other up, one conversation at a time...

​

After becoming a mom and being out of the corporate workforce for over a decade I decided I was ready to get back into it - only to realize that I no longer had an idea what "it" was...

​​

I began looking for inspiration around me: reading books, listening to podcasts, signing up for trainings, classes, webinars, seminars...an avalanche of information... yet I still felt something was amiss.

​​

At some point during this process I realized I could draw the inspiration I craved from all the women that surround me in my day-to-day life. We all have something to share. Inspiration can be drawn from anyone’s personal journey. From something as tangible as writing a book or starting a profitable business, to the equally-as-successful, yet more subtle endeavor of navigating or surviving a personal difficulty or discovering and embarking on a new calling in life.

​​

And so, in the Fall of 2018 I started In conversation with - a women's speakers series salon.

​​

The initiative is dedicated to building strong communities for women by fostering a culture of celebration amongst one another. The intent is to create a space where personal storytelling can encourage women to acknowledge and honor each other’s success, learn from each other’s hardships and inspire each individual to be the best version she can be of herself. Each event is purposefully geared towards cultivating the practice of being present and self-care. 

​​

The inspiring speakers are fellow women in my community, mothers, neighbors, a friend-of-a-friend. Women that I am inspired by and that I believe have an interesting message to share with others. These once-a-month, 60-minute conversations touch upon an array of different topics: books, art, psychology, health, design, parenting, food, business, well-being, finances, photography, etc., allowing participants to customize their personal intellectual growth journey.

​

I hope you can join me on this journey of enriching our souls and minds, together, one conversation at a time.
