✨ COMMUNITY • GROWTH • CONFIDENCE ✨
Today was such an amazing event put on by and PopStroke! 💖
I met so many incredible business owners today and got to reconnect with so many familiar faces from past networking events. The turnout, support, and positive energy in the room was truly inspiring. There’s something so special about being surrounded by people who genuinely want to see each other grow and succeed.
One of the best parts of today though… was getting to experience it alongside my son. 🥹
Today, got to see firsthand what it means to build something of your own, the hard work, the courage, the conversations, and the confidence it takes. He sold so many of his 3D printed fidgets today and I couldn’t be more proud of him. Watching him step outside of his comfort zone to talk to customers, explain his products, add up totals, and collect payments was honestly emotional for me as a mom. ❤️
If you know Jacs, then you know he’s naturally shy. Being autistic, social situations and stepping out to meet new people hasn’t always come easy for him. But this past year, I’ve watched him grow in the most beautiful way. His confidence, determination, and willingness to overcome fears and obstacles has been incredible to witness. Today was one of those moments I’ll never forget.
Thank you again to Brittany for always creating such welcoming spaces for small businesses, families, and community. You truly do an amazing job and I’m so grateful to be part of this supportive community of women and entrepreneurs.
