She balanced a full-time career as an occupational

She balanced a full-time career as an occupational therapist with over a decade of caring for her mother through Alzheimer’s — and she turned everything she learned into a book, a mission, and now: this workshop.

We are so excited to introduce our May speaker: Claudia Cassidy Bennett, Ph.D., OT — caregiving consultant, author, and one of the most grounded voices we’ve ever had the privilege of bringing to a WXW stage.

Mark your calendar: Wednesday, May 21st.

No Perfect Balance: Thriving at Work and in Caregiving is an interactive workshop built for professional women who are holding it all — careers, kids, aging parents, and everything in between — and wondering how long they can keep doing it.

This is your afternoon to breathe, be seen, and leave with real tools.

🎟️ Tickets are available now — Early Bird $30
🍽️ Includes a delicious lunch

We have exciting news to share — and a giant check

We have exciting news to share — and a giant check to prove it. 🎉

We are honored to share that the Yeo & Yeo Foundation has awarded WXW a $2,500 grant — made possible by our incredible April speaker, Amy Cell, President of Yeo & Yeo HR Advisory Solutions.

Amy came to our stage to talk about the power of proximity. Then she proved it!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to Amy and everyone at Yeo & Yeo!

Would you consider sharing this post with an ambitious friend who needs a powerful circle like this one? We would love to welcome them in.

There are people you meet and immediately think: I

There are people you meet and immediately think: I want to be in her orbit.

Erica Powers is that person.

She's not the loudest one in the room. She doesn't need to be. She's the one you find yourself gravitating toward — calm, warm, genuinely interested in you — and you walk away from the conversation feeling like maybe you've got this after all.

Here are a few things that say a lot about Erica:
🌾 Her Saturday morning essential: Ann Arbor Farmers Market.
🏺 Her dream? Learning pottery.
💕 What she loves most about WXW: "I have met so many amazing women who have become amazing business partners and friends. I feel very lucky to have found this group of women."

But we feel like the lucky ones, Erica! Here's why...

Erica is brilliant at what she does professionally. As a Mortgage Banker at First Merchants Bank — one of WXW's own Premier Sponsors — she's spent over 15 years guiding families through some of the highest-stakes, most emotional decisions of their lives.

She holds dual certifications as a Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®) and Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist (CMPS®), which means she shows up for clients at their most vulnerable moments with both expertise and extraordinary grace.

And then — after a week full of demanding high-stakes calls — she shows up for us as WXW's Co-President because she loves this community that much.

That quiet strength? It lifts every single one of us.

Drop Erica some love in the comments because she would never ask for the recognition, and that is why she deserves it!

Drop a 🧡💙 to show them some love. And tag a woman in your life who needs to know this community has her back.
