FriendFest

Calling all local women in business! You've been building your dream...but if you're honest? It's been mostly you, your laptop, and maybe your goldendoodle.

Hello lovely friend. I see you.

You're a rockstar of a business owner (or on your way there) but some days you wish you had a real group of women who “get it” to share ideas with.

You’ve been to networking events before — but the small talk, the stack of business cards, and the “wait, who did I meet again?!” feeling just doesn’t cut it anymore.

You crave genuine connection, not forced small talk, with women who are also building meaningful, profitable businesses.

Here’s the thing you know, deep down:

Your best ideas — the ones that spark the breakthroughs that change the trajectory of your business — won’t come from pushing harder at your desk or going all hustle mode.

They show up when you feel supported and surrounded by the right people.

That’s exactly what FriendFest is for.

Join the room where momentum happens

FriendFest is an intimate, in‑person gathering for service‑based women entrepreneurs - coaches, consultants, wellness practitioners, creatives, mamapreneurs from NJ / NY and surrounding, areas who want to

• Meet ambitious, like‑minded women who get your vision

• Leave with actual friendships you can grow with from here on out

Frequently asked questions:

Do I need to be a certain type of business owner to attend?

If you offer a service: whether you’re brand-new or seasoned - and want fresh ideas, clear direction, and connections with women who truly “get it,” FriendFest is for you.

What’s the vibe of this event?

Think cozy and welcoming: like yoga class meets coffee with friends. Wear comfortable clothes you can sit and move in.

I’m more of an introvert — will I feel comfortable?

Whether you're introverted, extroverted or anything in between: FriendFest is a warm, welcoming space where connection happens naturally. There’s no pressure to “work the room” or be “on.” You’ll meet other women at your own pace, in ways that feel genuine and easeful.

What is a cacao ceremony?

Led by renowned guide Rachel Goldberg, this cacao ceremony is a heart-opening ritual with roots in ancient Central and South America. You’ll enjoy a warm cup of ceremonial-grade cacao while being gently guided into reflection, clarity, and deeper connection—a simple yet powerful way to close our day

What if I can’t stay for the cacao ceremony?

FriendFest will wrap around 4:30 PM, so you’ll still get the full experience of the main event. The cacao ceremony will begin shortly thereafter (around 4:45) and is an optional bonus for those who want to deepen and anchor their experience before heading home.
