Explore & Connect: A Gathering for Introverted Women in Milwaukee

Join us for a low-pressure way to build meaningful relationships with introverted women entrepreneurs & career professionals while exploring a woman-led business.

If you’ve ever skipped a networking event because it felt too loud, too salesy, or just not made for you, you’re not alone. Many introverted women crave connection and community, but on their own terms.

That’s why I created this.

Join me for an intentional gathering at Image Studios—a beautifully designed, woman-owned salon suite collective in Wauwatosa where local beauty professionals run their businesses. We’ll explore the space while connecting with one another in a way that feels aligned and low-pressure.

You won’t be expected to book a service or spend money. This is a space for quiet impact where simply showing up helps amplify women-owned businesses that often go unnoticed.

What to Expect

• A warm welcome when you arrive
• Small bites to eat and time to explore the gorgeous space
• An opportunity to grab information from independent hair stylists, estheticians,barbers, makeup artists, tattoo artists, etc
• Gentle opportunities for connection with other introverted women (optional prompts or small group chats)
• Learn about future introverted events and how to stay involved

Meet the Host

Hi, I’m Shayla Burtin, founder of Her Dream Society—a membership community for introverted women who are building intentional lives, careers and businesses on their terms. I’m an introvert too, so I know what it’s like to want connection but feel unsure about how or where to find it.

That’s exactly why I started hosting monthly events. So women like us could have soft, welcoming spaces to connect, support one another, and make a quiet impact without pretending to be someone we’re not.

If you attend, I’ll be there to greet you, guide you, and make sure you feel at ease. You’re so welcome here.
