Turn Real Connections into Referrals, Collaborations and Clients
You don't need another course, a bigger audience or the perfect elevator pitch.
You need real connections with women who get it and a space where showing up feels fun, not forced.
Success gets so much easier when you're surrounded by women who see you,
cheer for you and say your name in rooms you're not in.
The Powerful Women Rising Connection Network is all about strategic, human, cringe-free networking that works.
Here, you'll build genuine relationships that naturally turn into referrals, collaborations and clients
without the awkward intros, fake smiles or salesy energy.

You've been told networking is the secret...
But is it really working?
YOU'RE CONSISTENTLY SHOWING UP AT NETWORKING EVENTS
But it still feels awkward - like everyone else is a pro and you're just trying not to spill your coffee during your elevator pitch.
YOU'RE MEETING GREAT PEOPLE AND MAKING CONNECTIONS
But your not sure how to turn those conversations into new clients, opportunities or business growth.YOU WANT TO GET MORE VISIBLE AND MAKE MORE MONEY
But posting, pitching and performing isn't your style - you'd rather build real relationships than chase attention.
YOU KNOW CONNECTION MATTERS
But between family, client work and everything else, it's hard to stay consistent or find spaces that blend friendship and strategy.
GOOD NEWS - THE PROBLEM ISN't YOU...
networking is still the simplest, most powerful way to grow your business
(when you're in the right rooms with the right people)
The magic happens when connection and strategy share the same space.
if you've been craving a community like that - welcome home.
Networking that feels natural
(and productive!)
where real connection, genuine support and business growth all happen in the same (zoom) room.
Imagine logging onto a call and instantly feeling at ease —
no awkward intros, no pressure to perform.
Just warm, ambitious women who understand what it’s like to build something meaningful and want to see you succeed.
The conversations flow naturally. The laughs are real.
You walk away feeling energized, inspired, and seen - like you just spent an hour with old friends who also happen to be brilliant boss babes and your best referral partners.
When you network like this, it doesn’t just feel good,
it moves your business forward.
The Right Connections Don't Just Feel Good - They Change Your Business.
Inside The Powerful Women Rising Connection Network, you’ll meet women who open doors, share opportunities and help you grow.
meet like-minded women who "get it" and genuinely want to see you succeed.
build relationships that naturally lead to referrals, collaborations and clients.
stay visible between calls so your name is the one people remember (and share!)
practice sharing what you do until it feels effortless and effective.
find trusted partners for cross-promotions such as summits, podcasts & bundles.
create consistent momentum without pressure, perfection or awkward sales pitches.
Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs don’t come from another coach or course - they come from the people you meet along the way.
It's Me - hi. I'm the coach who gets it.
I couldn't find a space that felt right - so I built one.
When I shut down my relationship coaching business, I promised myself I’d take a breath before diving into the next thing. No plans, no pressure - just space to see what might unfold.
One afternoon, sitting in the Pagosa Hot Springs, the name Powerful Women Rising popped into my head. I had no idea what it meant, but it stuck with me. A few months later, I kept hearing this quiet thought: “It’s about them.”
I didn’t know who “them” was yet, but now I do.
I’m the facilitator, the guide, the connector.
But this community is about you — the women who show up, support each other, and rise together.
The PWR Connection Network is a space where you can connect without the cringe, grow through genuine relationships, and get visible in ways that feel natural and aligned.
Because every level of success starts with the same foundation: real women, real relationships, real results.
This is what networking should feel like:
Proof that virtual networking for women can actually work - and feel good.
As a Member, You Get:
Monthly Virtual Speed Networking Calls
Ever been to a virtual networking event where half the people have their cameras off and most people are just waiting for their turn to talk? This. Is. Not. That. Our events are efficient, inviting and surprisingly fun - the way networking should feel.
We offer two different options - one mid-day (11am MST) and one in the evening (6pm MST) so you can join the call that works best for your schedule! Both are intentionally structured to help you have real conversations in small breakout rooms (no scripts, no selling) and walk away with with new connections, ideas, opportunities and inspiration every time.
Exclusive Member Facebook Community
Yes, another Facebook group. But this one's different - it's a place you'll actually want to spend time. This is where you can stay connected between calls, ask for recommendations, celebrate wins, and find collaboration opportunities with women who genuinely want to see you succeed.
This group also gives you easy ways to become more visible, position yourself as an expert and grow your audience - think podcast guesting, speaking opportunities, follow threads, list swaps and more!
Searchable Member Directory
Think isn't just a list of names - it's a built-in referral network.
You can quickly find the women you want to collaborate with, learn from or partner with - podcast hosts, copywriters, summit speakers, service providers and more.
And the best part? You're in there too. So other members can search for you, recomend you, refer you and easily bring your name into rooms you're not in. It takes the guesswork out of collaboration and keeps you top of mind without having to be everywhere at once.
Real experiences from women who finally enjoy virtual networking:

Frequently Asked Questions
WHEN ARE THE CALLS?
We host two monthly virtual speed networking calls - one on the first Tuesday from 11-12 MST and one on the third Tuesday from 6-7 pm MST.
You can come to whichever one works best for your schedule (or both if you want). They’re the same structure, same format, same vibe - just two different time options so you can show up when it fits your life, not the other way around.
DO I HAVE TO COME TO EVERY CALL?
Not at all! This is networking - not AP chemistry.
We offer two different call times each month (11am MST and 6pm MST) so you can pick the one that fits your life.
Some women come twice a month, some come once and some pop in whenever they can.
You'll get value no matter how often you show up. Consistency matters, but perfection absolutely doesn't.
WILL THIS OVERLAP WITH OTHER NETWORKING GROUPS I'M IN?
Actually, joining the PWR Connection Network will help you get better results from the groups you're already in.
Networking works best when you’re showing up in more than one space, meeting new people, and expanding your reach beyond the same circles. Most women stay in the same groups for years… which means they’re talking to the same people over and over again. Great for friendships — not so great for visibility.
The PWR Connection Network is designed to complement other groups - not compete with them.
It’s more structured than the social-style groups, more human than the corporate ones, and more business-forward than the friendship-only spaces. Plus, it offers something you won't find most other places - business relationships without the cringe, the pitches, or the pressure.
WHAT IF I'M AN INTROVERT, I'M SHY, OR I JUST HATE NETWORKING?
Honestly? You'll love it here. I've heard from SO many women just like you that said this is the most comfortable they've felt and the most fun they've ever had when networking. Even the introverts leave feeling energized - not drained.
Our structure takes out the guesswork, the pressure and the awkwardness. You'll meet women in small breakout rooms where conversations flow naturally - no perfection, performing or small talk required.
WHAT IF I'M NEW TO BUSINESS (OR PIVOTING)?
You're definitely in the right place. Networking helps you build relationships, visibility and confidence long before you "feel ready." And if you're pivoting, this is the fastest way to get your new role/offer/message in front of other women!
IS THIS ONLY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF BUSINESSES?
Nope - we have B2B, B2C, coaches, service providers, wellness experts, creatives, consultants, tech folks and everything in between!
IS THERE ANYONE WHO SHOULDN’T JOIN THE PWR CONNECTION NETWORK?
This group is open to all women, women-identifying, and AFAB non-binary people. Regardless of your age, level of experience, or location — you’ll find a place in this community.
That said, if you’re looking for a quick fix or a platform solely for self-promotion, you’re going to be disappointed. Likewise, if you’re not into sharing value with others and prefer to gatekeep your resources, opportunities, connections and advice, this probably isn’t your jam. The women who thrive here are the ones willing to show up, be authentic and share abundantly.
