Thursday Brunch/Coffee with Julie @ The Food Republic Blackburn 3130 ☕️💓
Hi Radiant Ladies!
“Good food is the foundation of genuine happiness.” — Auguste Escoffier
We’re having brunch at Food Republic this time — beautiful food and great coffee! ☕️
Plenty of parking around, so nice and easy to get to.
Come hungry, come happy — let’s catch up, laugh a little (or a lot!) and enjoy every bite together!
See you soon!
Julie 😘
Presenting - How to Think on your Feet
Smashing! Try something new Thursday
Interactive reality workshop - Tonight learn how to respond to questioning, by thinking on you feet
Serious about improving your leadership - **Why mess, come to the best**
Why is Smashing different to other speaking clubs?
Just two member's thoughts, "The fun/laughs factor is definitely a point of difference. We keep it moving with high standards so it’s a nice balance. Too strict makes it tense and boring, too loose and we can lose the energy/commercial feel. SmashSpeak's vibe's in the sweet spot."
"At other clubs I used to listen to long speeches and lectures, here we get so many chances to talk every meeting, that we have to improve"
**Free parking** close: O'Connell and Cobden streets
**IMPORTANT: Be on time, as doors close when the show starts**
“Proudly Australian" – Free-flowing teamwork, greater good focus, sharing the stage, etc
Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St (Opposite Queen Vic Market)

They say, *“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”* And in business, this couldn’t be more true.
Whether you’re just starting out, growing something exciting, or dreaming up your next big move, this event is about finding the right people to walk alongside you. Think of it as a curated networking night for entrepreneurs, creatives, and business-minded doers who are looking for more than surface-level connections.
Maybe you need a co-founder.
A photographer.
A mentor.
A tech-savvy mate.
An accountability partner.
Or simply a community of like-minded humans who *get it*.
Whatever you’re building, this night is about helping you find your *people*. Your collaborators, supporters, and sounding boards, the ones who help you stay grounded *and* move forward.
Expect meaningful conversations, interactive connection activities, and a space where you don’t have to “pitch” yourself, just show up authentically. Because business gets a whole lot better when you’re surrounded by the right energy.
So, bring your ideas, your questions, and your dreams.
You never know who you’ll meet.

Depth, discovery and discussion: Artificial Intelligence
**We're bringing you a new series in 2026: *Depth, Discovery and Discussion*.**
Girls Who Boss Melbourne is creating a space for real talk, shared wisdom and genuine connection — and you’re invited.
This new series is all about coming together as a community to explore meaningful topics in a way that feels safe, intentional and refreshingly honest.
This month's theme? **Artificial intelligence** \- it's on our mind\, and in the copies of the Harvard Business Review we read\, and it's time we talked about it\. The uses for it\, the fears around it\, the ethics and all\.
This isn’t a speech, seminar or expert-led workshop. It’s a guided conversation shaped by all of us. Girls Who Boss will bring a set of thoughtful prompts and questions to spark dialogue, but the insight will come from the stories, perspectives and lived experiences we each bring to the table.
Expect a day of:
✨ Deep chats without the pressure
✨ Discovery through shared perspectives
✨ Discussion that feels grounding, supportive and fun
✨ Connecting with women who want to grow, reflect and boss up together
Whether you come with something on your mind or simply want to listen and connect, this is a space for curiosity, vulnerability and community-led learning.
Come join the conversation — we can’t wait to dive deeper with you.
Winter Vision-Boarding: The Power of Rest
This workshop is centred around a simple but often overlooked idea: life moves in seasons and growth does not come from constant output alone.
Many of us have been taught to stay in motion, to keep pushing, producing, and progressing. But rest, pause, and recalibration are not setbacks. They are essential for expansion, clarity, and becoming who you are meant to be. When we ignore that, we do not move faster. We move out of sync with ourselves.
Instead of focusing only on what you want to achieve, this session invites you to explore what your next season actually looks like. The pace, energy, and priorities that feel aligned for you right now.
Together, we will move through guided prompts and facilitated discussion to reflect on where you may be forcing, overextending, or holding onto things that no longer fit. From there, you will bring those insights into form through a hands-on, artistic vision boarding session that is intuitive, tactile, and creatively freeing.
This is a gentle but grounding space for thoughtful conversation, creative expression, and shared insight with like-minded women who are also learning to move in rhythm with themselves.
No artistic experience needed! Just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to reflect.
We'll have the essentials for vision-boarding (scissors, magazine cutouts and paper), but encourage you to bring your own materials as well (think anything extra sparkly and fun).
**What to expect**
* Guided prompts to explore your current season, your natural rhythm, and what feels aligned for your next chapter
* Facilitated group discussion (with space to listen or share)
* Physical, creative vision-boarding
* A calm, supportive environment to reset and realign
**Agenda**
*10:00am* — Mingling & settling in
*10:30am* — Facilitated group discussion with reflective prompts
*11:00am* — Vision boarding (creative session)
*12:15pm* — Sharing, reflections & wrap-up
Leave with clarity, a sense of alignment, and a visual reminder of the season you are stepping into.
**About your facilitator**
This event will be facilitated by Nadi Pax (@findingnadi).
Nadi is a writer, facilitator, and creator focused on identity, self-trust, and emotional safety. Her work explores how identity is shaped through survival, people-pleasing, and self-abandonment and how it can be consciously rebuilt through awareness, embodiment, and choice. Drawing from lived experience, psychology-informed frameworks, and years of self-inquiry, Nadi creates spaces that feel both grounding and expansive, where women can return to themselves and move forward with clarity.

You can still expect all of this at our monthly walks.

Bring all of your go-to tips, bring your questions you need answered and let's connect through movement and coffee.

Evolve Shades of Sisterhood (Virtual)
Evolve exists to provide a welcoming place for professional women to create an authentic community, deeper connections, and confident growth through networking and workshop events. No cliques, no judgement.
**Shades of Sisterhood** is a space for women to grow from the inside out through meaningful conversations, personal development, mindset growth, and courageous self-awareness. These gatherings are designed to create deeper connection, expand perspective, and encourage women to become healthier, stronger, and more aligned versions of themselves — both personally and professionally.
Through honest dialogue, shared experiences, and intentional conversations around identity, leadership, confidence, relationships, emotional resilience, and growth, women are invited into a supportive environment where they can learn, reflect, heal, and evolve together.
This is not about perfection, hustle culture, or surface-level positivity. It is about creating a safe space for women to have real conversations, challenge limiting beliefs, grow in self-awareness, and step more confidently into who they were created to become.
At its core, Shades of Sisterhood exists to remind women that growth starts within — and no woman has to navigate that journey alone.
Guests are always welcome. We'd love to meet you!
