Finding Work That Truly Fulfills You

Finding Work That Truly Fulfills You

Sat, May 16, 11:00 PM
From Women Thriving Abroad

Join us for a soulful gathering to explore the deeper emotional and identity shifts that often arise during career transitions, relocation, and major life changes. Many women feel stuck in work that no longer fulfills them, uncertain about their next step, or disconnected from what they truly want. No matter how many applications they send out or how hard they try to “figure it out,” they often feel lost between who they used to be and who they’re becoming. This session is designed to help you reconnect with yourself beneath the pressure, fear, and conditioning, so you can gain more clarity on the kind of work and life that truly aligns with you. Through guided reflection and inner work, we’ll explore the emotional blocks, limiting beliefs, and protective patterns that may be keeping you stuck, while helping you build self-trust, clarity, and confidence in navigating your next chapter. Whether you’re considering a career change, rebuilding your life in a new country, or searching for more meaningful work, this gathering will support you in reconnecting with your authentic self and creating a path that feels aligned and fulfilling.

Elevated Exit Live

Elevated Exit Live

Sat, May 16, 1:00 PM
From Black Women Moving and Living Abroad
5.0

There is a version of you that already knows she is leaving. She has the spreadsheets, the Instagram saves, and the browser tabs. What she does not have yet is a plan she trusts and a room where the conversation goes all the way to the part she actually needs. Elevated Exit LIVE New York is that room. On May 16th, Sable Ryan of The Bougie Expats is hosting an intimate one-day strategic experience for twelve high-earning women who are serious about international relocation. This is not a networking brunch. This is not a panel discussion. This is six hours of real work covering relocation strategy, income architecture, country design, and the financial clarity that turns a dream into a departure date. You will leave with a country shortlist mapped against your actual lifestyle, a Freedom Number that tells you exactly what your income needs to do, an Income Stack built around what you already have and what to grow before you go, a 12-month timeline with five phases of the relocation process mapped to your specific situation, and a One Page Plan you can act on the moment you walk out the door. https://repositionrelocate.com/nyc Registration link

This is a prepay event. Please see info and tickets at: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1988059196574](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1988059196574) ### What Is Bingo Mingle and Match? This is a new, fun and interactive twist on traditional speed dating. At the beginning of the event, you’ll receive a **Bingo card**. During the event, you’ll be put in small groups to chat. Rounds will last about 10 minutes and the men will rotate each round. Throughout the rounds, your goal is to **complete as many Bingo squares as possible** by finding people who match the descriptions. The ultimate goal is to complete a full card. There will also be Bingo numbers on the card as well. Examples include: * Find someone who has **more than 2 pets** * Find someone with **blue eyes** * Find someone who has seen **every Harry Potter movie** * Find someone who is a **school teacher** * Find someone who has traveled to **more than two countries this year** * Find someone whose zodiac sign is **Capricorn** During your chatting sessions you will ask questions that would reveal answers that you can mark off on your Bingo card. The Bingo card boxes can lead to discussions and you will all learn about each other. Meanwhile, the host will occasionally call out Bingo numbers throughout the event (like **B6, N32**, etc.). Complete your board and shout **“BINGO!” 🎉** Info and tickets: at: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1988059196574](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1988059196574) \*\* SEE MORE UPCOMING NYC AREA EVENTS AT [WWW.FRIENDZYEVENTS.COM](http://www.friendzyevents.com/) \*\*
