An Evening of Building
Genuine Connections

At Grateful Connections events, relationships are built deeper than just business-card-sharing transactions. We are passionate about building genuine, deep connections with like-minded women, with an evening of networking and education. Knowledge is power, right??

We are on a mission for women to become part of something bigger so they know they aren't building their businesses alone!

You’ll meet women who:

✔ Support your dreams
✔ Cheer you on
✔ Share openly
✔ Collaborate generously
✔ Truly want you to win

This is how business- and life- was meant to be built.

Come connect deeply.


Leave with friendships, clarity, and energy for your next chapter.

WELCOME TO REIGNITE YOUR SPARK


REIGNITE YOUR SPARK: Designing Your 2026 with Intention


Join us Thursday, January 29th for an interactive, energizing session created for women who are growing businesses, leading full lives, and wanting to move into the year ahead with clarity, focus, and ease.

This is not a lecture- it’s a guided experience.

Together, we’ll explore how to be intentional about what truly matters in this season of life and business, so you can grow in a way that feels aligned, sustainable, and fulfilling.

This session is for women who want to:

• Get clear on what matters most right now

• Create space for both success and personal well-being

• Align their goals, values, and daily choices

• Step into 2026 with clarity, confidence, and purpose

Using Erin’s signature Radiance Coaching Methodology, you’ll be guided through reflection and conversation to:

💛 Gently assess where you are — with honesty and compassion

💛 Clarify what you want to create next, personally and professionally

💛 Identify small, aligned shifts that support sustainable growth without burnout

This isn’t about overhauling your life or doing more.

It’s about choosing what matters- with intention, alignment, and joy.


You’ll leave with renewed clarity, grounded confidence, and a spark that reminds you:

You get to design your 2026 and beyond — in business and in life!

What to Expect...

This evening is intentionally designed to help you feel connected, supported, and inspired- not overwhelmed or pressured to “network.”

When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into a relaxed space with guided conversation starters that make it easy to connect beyond small talk. Instead of wondering who’s in the room or sticking with people you already know, you’ll be thoughtfully invited into small group conversations that encourage genuine sharing and meaningful connection.

You’ll hear from our featured speaker, Erin Attere, whose message will help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters as you step into a new season of life and business. Her talk is designed to spark clarity and alignment — not add more to your to-do list.

After the presentation, you’ll have time to continue the conversation in a second guided connection experience, followed by open networking that feels natural, unforced, and intentional.

You’ll leave having met multiple women, shared real conversations, and felt part of something deeper than a typical networking event.

This isn’t about handing out business cards or pitching what you do.


It’s about real connection, thoughtful conversation, and remembering that you don’t have to build your business- or your life- alone!

Perfect For women who:

  • Own business or have a busy career

  • Want 2026 to feel different

  • Crave time for themselves

  • Want to build a business in community vs. alone

YOU POUR INTO EVERYONE ELSE. NOW IT’S YOUR TURN


You’re the woman who carries a lot:

✔ Your Business
✔ Your Household
✔ Your Relationships
✔ Your Health
✔ Your Mindset

You’re juggling, rescheduling, pivoting, leading, holding space for others- all while trying to take care of yourself too.

And somewhere in the mix, your spark dims.

THIS EVENT IS YOUR RESET-
Your permission to pause, recalibrate, and remember that you matter too

Enjoy an evening out with like-minded women, where you'll feel the energy and support in the air!

Please bring a friend- there are so many women who need to hear what Erin has to say!

About Your Host

Hi, I’m Malinda- founder of Grateful Connections, lifelong connector, and professional cheerleader for women in business.

When I began networking for my own business, I quickly realized how exclusive many traditional groups can be. Instead of finding the time to find a group without a photographer, I chose to create something different- a community built on collaboration over competition, where all women in business are welcome and valued.

Grateful Connections was born from deep gratitude for the relationships, friendships, and support that have shaped my own journey. It goes beyond traditional networking to create intentional gatherings rooted in genuine connection, meaningful conversation, and shared growth. Through in-person and virtual events, guided discussions, and education, women come together to build real relationships, feel supported, and grow their businesses- all while being reminded they never have to build alone.


Let's connect and grow our businesses together!!
