You're not just building a business, you're building a life


But when we’re constantly giving, doing, and striving, it’s easy to lose touch with the most important relationship we have: the one with ourselves.

Before we can create authentic connections with others in business, relationships, or community- we must first reconnect with who we are at our core.

This evening is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and nurture the foundation that fuels everything else: and focus on yourself.

You'll Experience:


🪷 A guided heart coherence meditation
🪷 Gentle seated breathwork and movement
🪷 A live 30-minute sound healing immersion
🪷 Reflective journaling and Q&A

Bring a pen, paper, and an open heart. Mats and seating are available — come as you are and wear comfortable clothing.

About Erin O'Neill

My journey into martial arts and yoga began as a teenager, when my entire family started training in Kenpo Karate. I quickly fell in love with the structure, discipline, and confidence the martial arts instilled, earning my 2nd degree black belt by the age of 16. At that time, I began experiencing persistent hip pain from the intensity of training, a challenge that led me to yoga.

I have been teaching yoga since 2009 and completed my 200-hour training through The Lotus Yoga Centre in 2013. Rooted in the Vinyasa tradition, my teaching is mindful, fluid, and adaptable, blending Reiki and energy work to help students trust their intuition, reclaim their voice, and move through life with clarity and confidence.

My greatest joy is witnessing people rediscover their own light, becoming strong, resilient, and radiant. I couple this teaching experience with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Chicago, which brings a deep understanding of how interconnected the body truly is, and how changes at the cellular level can ripple outward to affect overall health, function, and well-being. My academic focus on cellular signaling deepened my appreciation for the intricate connections within us, both physical and energetic.​

This insight, along with years of yoga, Reiki, and martial arts experience fuels my mission: to empower others from the inside out.

About Your Host

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

After 25 years in corporate sales, I started my own entrepreneurial journey — and I quickly saw how many women are building incredible things without the support, confidence, or business knowledge they truly deserve. What I kept hearing — and personally experiencing — was that so many women felt stuck or unsure, not because they lacked talent or heart, but because they were trying to do it all alone.
