Dr. Brandy Victory, Peak to Peak. Have you been looking for a collective? A place to connect with brilliant women and lean into a community that has your back? Well this is it! I’ve been a member essentially since the beginning and it continues to feed my soul. We meet on the 4th Tuesday of each month and all women are welcomed. Whether you have been in business for years, are just starting out, or even if you don’t have a business yet, this is a place to tap into the sweet connection of women coming together to lift each other up. I love it so much I really try to not miss!
Every other month we have a speaker, and alternate months we have brainstorming and problem-solving sessions where each woman gets to share announcements, celebrations and pose an ask. When a woman asks, we listen! We spend time helping this woman resolve her issue or bring creative ideas on how she can move forward with more grace. It’s a special opportunity for each woman to be held and so much growth comes from the work we do together here. When I was trying to name my podcast, these ladies were emailing me for days with ideas! It’s the sweetest thing to feel this kind of support.
There are almost 70 members and we usually have 10-20 at each meeting. This past month we had Camilla Dye, a clinical mental health therapist at New Growth Therapy, Cindy Weaver with Dream Valley Retreats, Liz Hamilton, owner of Maia Internet Consulting, Nicole Gaspari, a nature based play therapist, Donna Boutwell, president and CEO at DB Management & Associates, Inc., myself, Dr. Brandy Victory, two new members, Leah Haney who creates specialized pinatas and Rachel Youngblood, a personal chef and caterer for those with special dietary needs. Jen Karowe hosts our meetings at HUB Ned, a co-working space for anyone needing a meeting space or office and has the fastest WiFi in town! I also want to thank our leader, Eileen Purdy, an anxiety coach who’s created this group and puts so much heart into its growth and evolution. We all love you Eileen! Thanks for all you do!
Clearly this community is about bringing people together, supporting local businesses, educating, and helping women grow, which means you are encouraged to join us! Every new woman is appreciated and brings that much more light to our community. Just one day a month, give up your hermit and connect with us!
