A Day Out with the Ladies - The Blushing Babes Society #BlushingBabesBrunch

Last Sunday I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Blushing Babes Society’s Brunch.

The Blushing Babe Society had their first in person London, Ontario based event back in 2018 and I wanted to attend so badly but tickets went so fast that I really never had a chance.

After hearing from friends what an awesome event it was, I knew I had to attend the next one. How committed was I? I even ask a friend who works on a more flexible schedule if she could try to get on and get me a ticket knowing that timing would be challenging for me.

Picture this, a room full of gorgeous decor, brilliant boss babes, delicious brunch (my favourite meal in the world), and real conversation on what it takes to be a badass in business and life.

In this room I wasn’t the odd one out. I wasn’t the only one trying hard to grow. I wasn’t the only woman, only mom, or only one trying to balance the demands of a family, a day job, and a business. These are my people!

All of us had a little different story whether due to our situation, our industry, how long we had been in business but there were more things that unified us than that set us apart.

I walked away not only empowered but feeling like I had found my tribe. I seriously cannot wait til their next event.

If I had one regret from this event, it’s that I didn’t get to talk to more amazing ladies. I was hiding behind my anxiety and observing more than anything. Next time, I’m going in ready and excited to meet new amazing people.

A huge thank you goes out to the organizers for a great day. I’m also super grateful to the MC - Sherrie Rains - and event panelists - Kimberly Buckley, Britt Havens, Melissa Won, and Gillian Mandich for all their insights. It was great to hear from you ladies about your successes, your struggles, and you individual approaches.
