Coffee. Conversation. Catching up. Meeting someone new. No agenda. ☕️

Join us September 11 at 9 AM at Suite Escape for our first members-only Coffee.

And yes, you can journal! Don’t be alarmed, there will still be PLENTY of time for talking.

Come as you are. We can’t wait to see you.

We love a great speaker. But after five+ years of Suite Escape, we’ve learned something: sometimes the best part of the event is the woman sitting next to you. ☕️

So we’re making more room for THAT.

Introducing monthly Member Coffees...our new event focused on good conversation, interesting women, and exactly zero awkward networking.

Come meet someone new. Finally talk to the woman you’ve seen at 12 events. Have a conversation that doesn’t involve a portal, permission slip or grocery list. And yes, exercise clothes are not only acceptable, they may be preferred. 😉

First coffee: Friday, September 11.
Members, grab your spot. And if you’ve been thinking about a Suite Escape Membership, come as our guest this first time and see what we’re all about.

☕️ Coffee’s on. Agenda’s off.

This week, our Suite Escape community gathered (from kitchens, lake houses, home offices, and everywhere in between!) with Kalin Sheick of Sweetwater Floral for an hour of flowers, creativity, and a gentle reminder that sometimes the best thing we can do is make something beautiful simply because it brings us joy.

A few takeaways we’re bringing with us through the rest of the summer:

🌿 Done is better than perfect. Flowers aren’t meant to be flawless, and neither are we. Sometimes the beauty is in simply beginning.

💐 Protect your joy. Whether it’s arranging flowers, gardening, reading on the porch, needlepoint, or baking sourdough, make room for hobbies that don’t need to become a side hustle. Joy is reason enough.

☀️ Design a life that fits you. As Kalin reminded us, there isn’t one “right” way to build a meaningful life. Start with your values, build relationships first, and let the rest grow from there.

At Suite Escape, one of our core values is creating space for women to connect, grow, and leave inspired. This hour was a beautiful reminder that growth doesn’t always happen in big moments, it often begins with a simple conversation, a vase of flowers, or the courage to make time for yourself.

Here’s to porch conversations, fresh blooms, lake days, and slowing down just enough to notice the beauty around us.

Happy Summer. 🌸✨

Can we all agree to play hooky for the rest of July? ☀️

Not from work, from the pressure to have it all together.

Leave the dishes. Take the walk. Buy the flowers. Read one more chapter. Eat the dessert. Let the laundry wait. Lose your glasses. Find yourself.

The best kind of summer isn’t perfectly planned…it’s fully lived.

Here’s your reminder: you don’t have to earn a little joy. Sometimes “me time” is the very thing that makes everything else feel lighter.

Here’s to slower days, fuller hearts, and making the most of the dog days of summer. 💛

What if the best thing you did for yourself this July was simply slow down and make something beautiful?

Join us on Wednesday, July 15 for a special virtual floral workshop with Kalin Sheick, founder of Sweetwater Floral. Together we’ll create a relaxed, garden-inspired arrangement while enjoying a conversation about creativity, entrepreneurship, motherhood, and building a life rooted in purpose.

🌸 Use flowers from your own garden or favorite market, or make it easy with an optional curated floral kit delivered right to your doorstep.

No experience required. Just bring a vase, your favorite summer drink, and an hour that’s entirely yours.

✨ Can’t make it live? No problem. The event will be recorded, and all registrants will receive the replay.

Sometimes the most important thing we can do is slow down long enough to hear ourselves.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Suite Escape Digital Event with Cilla Stoll, founder of Forever Om. What began as a conversation about yoga quickly became something much bigger, a reminder to trust our intuition, build a life rooted in our values, and create space for what truly matters.

At Suite Escape, we believe that one conversation can spark a new perspective—and this one certainly did.

Thank you, Cilla! 💗

Feeling pulled in a hundred directions?

This one’s for you.

Join us on June 24th for a conversation with Cilla Stoll about instinct, intuition, entrepreneurship, community, and making space for what matters.

Plus: a guided meditation to help you leave feeling a little lighter than when you arrived. ☺️

One hour. One Zoom link. A much-needed exhale.

Before we fully make the switch to summertime and poolside attire...

We want to express a great big THANK YOU to Lillie Alexander for helping dress us all season long. ✨

One of the things we love most about Lillie Alexander is that they make shopping feel fun, not overwhelming. Their team has a remarkable ability to help women discover pieces that make them feel confident, comfortable, and completely themselves.

Because the right outfit isn’t really about the outfit.

It’s about walking into a room feeling ready. Ready to introduce yourself. Ready to start a conversation. Ready to try something new. Ready to say yes to an opportunity.

Thank you for your style expertise, your support of women-owned businesses, and your partnership with our community this season.

Here’s to finding clothes we love, showing up with confidence, and embracing all the possibilities ahead.

That’s a wrap on another Suite Escape season - What a year!

This season, we’ve welcomed 25 incredible speakers and gathered more than 650 women around conversations that sparked ideas, built connections, and inspired what comes next.

To our speakers: thank you for sharing your stories, insights, expertise, and energy so generously. You challenged us to think bigger, stay curious, and keep moving toward what matters.

To every woman who joined us: thank you for showing up. For making time in your busy life. For asking thoughtful questions, sharing your experiences, and helping create the kind of community that feels increasingly rare, and increasingly important.

Cheers to you!. 🥂

While this season may be ending, we’re already behind the scenes dreaming up the next one. And before then? We have a few surprises up our sleeve, including a new way to engage with this growing community of women supporting women.

So stay tuned. The best conversations are still ahead.

✨ Come as you are. Leave inspired. ✨
