Ever have a “what were we thinking?” moment that turned out better than you imagined? Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes of our State of Women Conference—how it started as a half-day workshop with one attendee (camera off!) and grew into a sold-out, life-giving event four years running. We share what it’s really like to host something that evolves with you, the lessons we’ve learned about working smarter (not harder), and why letting go of perfection makes space for purpose and connection.

Whether you’re dreaming of starting your own event, business, or passion project, this one will remind you that small beginnings still count—and consistency is everything.

Today we cover:

• The wild story of how State of Women began
• Why “working smarter, not harder” became this year’s rally cry
• How to create impact even when only one person shows up
• The power of collaboration, delegation, and dropping perfection
• What’s next for State of Women and why these conversations still matter
