What happens when women come together for honest conversation, expert insight, and real community? ✨

We gathered at Towne & Oak for a powerful Morning Brew with Dr. Kristie Dold Bennett, and it was one of those conversations that stayed with us long after the morning ended.

Together, we unpacked the realities of perimenopause and menopause, cut through the noise and misinformation, and reminded ourselves of something important:

Menopause is not something women should silently suffer through.

From brain fog and sleep struggles to hormones, mental health, and the overwhelm of “wellness” advice online, the discussion was science-based, reassuring, and deeply validating.

One takeaway that resonated throughout the room:�
Your experience matters. And women deserve informed care, support, and options.
But perhaps the best part? Watching women connect, share stories, ask questions, laugh, learn, and realize they are not alone in this transition. 💛

Thank you to everyone who joined us!

A little throwback… and a big reminder 💫

Our “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Menopause” Lunch Series with Dr. Kristie Dold Bennett back in May 2023 still holds its place as one of our most highly attended events to date, for good reason…

Now she’s back!

At a time when we’re all being inundated with messaging, marketing, and mixed information around menopause, Dr. Bennett cuts through the noise with clarity, science, and the kind of insights every woman deserves to understand.

This is the conversation you don’t want to miss.

Join us for a candid, informed, and incredibly relevant discussion on what we actually need to know- right now.

✨ Save your spot. Come curious. Leave informed.

Morning Brew with Regina Trillo ☕️✨

A conversation rooted in culture, courage, and what it really takes to build something meaningful.

The energy in the room was undeniable - thoughtful, engaged, and deeply connected. The kind of morning where ideas spark, perspectives shift, and new connections are made (exactly why we gather).

A few takeaways we’re still thinking about:
• Start before you feel ready, clarity comes through action
• Your customer is your most valuable source of truth
• Build with values first, growth follows
• Collaboration can take you further than going it alone

From redefining representation in food to reimagining what growth can look like, Regina reminded us that building with intention isn’t just possible…it’s powerful.

Because when women come together with curiosity and purpose, it’s never just a conversation… it’s momentum.

An afternoon that felt like more than a conversation ✨

Our Lunch Series with and reminded us that staying engaged isn’t about consuming more, it’s about thinking more intentionally, asking better questions, and showing up with curiosity.

A few ideas we’re still thinking about:
• Staying informed requires intention, not just consumption
• Civic confidence is built, it’s not innate
• Creativity isn’t optional, it’s foundational
• Dialogue, done well, is a catalyst for change
• Community is where real impact begins

This wasn’t just a conversation about the creative economy.

It was a reminder that when women gather with intention, structure, and curiosity,
they don’t just exchange ideas… they shape what comes next.

Sometimes the most powerful businesses begin with a quiet realization: something is missing.

For Regina Trillo, it became a brand. A mission. And now, a movement rooted in culture, identity, and community.

Her story is a reminder that building something meaningful isn’t about perfection, it’s about starting, listening, evolving… and bringing others along with you.

From reimagining representation in the food space to redefining what collaboration can look like among women founders, this is the kind of conversation that shifts perspective.
