May your future be what defines you: vision boarding

Sun, Oct 4, 12:00 AM

From Woman Between Worlds

*May my future follow me into a room as aggressively as my past does.* Words that started as an affirmation in the phone notes but became something bigger. Because we have all walked into rooms carrying hard things. The stories we tell about ourselves, the chapters we would rather skip past, the versions of us that survived days we do not talk about at dinner parties. Sometimes, it’s easy for those things to dominate a conversation. Or to linger in the back of our minds while the room moves around us. Sometimes, our pain introduces us before we have had the chance to say who we are becoming. But what if the future could enter first? What if the woman you are working towards, the career you are building, the love you are opening yourself up to, the impact you want to have, could walk into the room before anything else? What if the room could feel your future before it remembered your past? This is a morning to explore that question. Join us for a guided journaling and vision boarding session where we will sit together and write and create our way towards the lives we are heading into. By choosing, on paper and in community, to let our future take up more space than what came before it. **What to expect** \* Guided journaling and vision boarding prompts centred on your next chapter, the woman you are becoming, and the life you are making room for \* A warm, held space with other women who are also in the process of rebuilding, or stepping into something new \* Time for quiet reflection and time for gentle conversation **Who this is for** This is for the woman in transition. The woman who is tired of being defined by what happened to her and is ready to be known for what she is building. The woman who is healing and also dreaming. The woman who wants to write her future into something she can feel arriving. You do not need to be a writer. You do not need to have the right words. You just need to bring yourself, a pen, and a willingness to let your future lead. ***May we be defined by the places we are working towards and the women we are becoming, not by the days that have brought us to our knees.*** Read more about the motivation behind this event [here](https://girlswhoboss.substack.com/p/may-my-future-follow-me-into-a-room?r=4apm4h&utm_medium=ios).

Springtime Silliness

Fri, Sep 25, 11:30 PM

From Deep Work 🌿

4.9

The Deep Workers gather this spring For a picnic — and no, not a thing on the agenda at all, bar a rug and a ball and whatever the afternoon brings. The forecast says sunshine — how sweet! Then Melbourne turns up in the street with a cold snap in tow and a wind off the snow, so wear shorts, but bring socks for your feet. The footy has wound to its end, the last of the sirens descend; then the clocks jump ahead and we're robbed of our bed, but the evenings — oh, how they extend. So come as you are, more or less: the unclenched, the tender, the mess. Put the armour away, let the shields drop today — we prefer you a little unpressed. Bring salad and sunscreen and heart, bring the you that you keep set apart, bring your sinuses too — Melbourne's pollen will do what the boardroom could never quite start. \*\*\*\* **There will be no catering (not even timtams!). Please bring a plate and drinks to share.**

Women at the Table

Sat, Oct 3, 12:00 AM

Just women, conversation, stories, laughter and connection. **Women at the Table** is a relaxed café gathering for women 40+ navigating the changes, questions and possibilities of this chapter of life + from perimenopause and menopause to career, relationships, identity, purpose and what comes next. Come if you’re figuring things out. Come if you’re reinventing yourself. Come if you simply want to meet some new women. Bring your story, your curiosity or absolutely nothing at all. This is a space to **share, listen, be witnessed, make connections and discover that you’re not the only one navigating this territory.** You’re also welcome to share what you do, promote your business, offer recommendations or make professional connections. This is **your table** and we want women to support women. Come once. Come regularly. Come for the conversation. **Pull up a chair. There’s room for you here. 🤍** **☕️ FIRST GATHERING** 📅 **Saturday 19 September 2026** ⏰ **10:00–11:15 AM** 📍 **ST.

Welcome coffee + walk + talk

Sat, Sep 26, 1:00 AM

From Quiet Women Leaders

From Melbourne Business Agility Meetup

Welcome to our very first in-person event in Melbourne! I am so glad you're part of this community, and I look forward to meeting you in person. Now that spring is here, let's make the most of the beautiful weather and nature's therapy. Today's event is an easy walk around Fitzroy Gardens. I've timed it so we'll finish long before the AFL Grand Final starts. **ITINERARY** 11am: Meet outside Fitzroy Gardens Visitor Information Centre. Say hello, grab a coffee to support KereKere Green Cafe, and we'll start our walk. No agenda, just a time of peace and quiet in nature, and talk when you feel ready. 12.30pm: End of event. **OPTIONAL EXTRA** For those who feel extra sociable and want to have lunch together, we can make plans on the day to have lunch nearby. Lunch is at each person's own cost. **COST** There is no cost for this event. **GETTING THERE** The closest train stations are Jolimont (2 min) and Parliament (10 min). **INTROVERT WELLBEING TIPS** 1. Always honour your safety, health, and wellbeing. If at any time you are fatigued, overstimulated, or your social battery runs out, you can say something like "I had a great time but I have to go now." No need for long explanations or apologies - we are all introverts and we get it. 2. I may take random photos of the group to share on social media. For privacy reasons, I do not tag individuals or post close-up shots. If you prefer not to be photographed at all, please let me know. 3. I try to keep attendee numbers under 10 so it's not overwhelming for us introverts, and so everyone gets to talk to at least one or two people.
