About us
OUR PURPOSE
To create a platform for women to engage in open, honest and meaningful conversations that empower you to embody the qualities of an Unstoppable Woman.
WHO THIS GROUP IS FOR
This group is for women who are interested in personal growth and development, cultivating self-acceptance and finding strengths-based solutions to problems.
Our theme for 2026 is Choose Joy!
We all get caught up in the pace of everyday life—managing responsibilities, meeting expectations, and moving from one thing to the next. Somewhere along the way, we slip into autopilot, and joy quietly fades into the background. But joy isn’t distant or reserved for “someday.” It’s already here—woven into ordinary moments, patiently waiting to be noticed.
Choosing joy means living with intention. It’s the practice of noticing what makes you feel alive, nurturing your well-being, and responding to life with greater presence, kindness, and self-trust.
Choosing joy isn’t about avoiding life’s challenges. It’s about staying connected to yourself as you move through them—and discovering that joy can coexist with real life, exactly as it is.
Throughout the year, you will:
- Uncover your unique sources of energy and spark
- Build habits that support your well-being
- Practice meeting life’s challenges with more grace, presence, and gratitude.
Rather than chasing happiness, you’ll discover how joy naturally emerges when we slow down, pay attention, and honor what truly matters.

"When you help others in the same way you’ve been hurt, not only does it give your suffering meaning, it gives your life meaning". ~Adam Grant
Hello! I’m a proud 2x breast cancer survivor and a former perfectionist - these experiences taught me that by using my character strengths, I can reframe my suffering, challenges & struggles, as opportunities to be resilient and to create purpose & meaning from them. I want to help you do the same.

The Joy of Friendship Walk & Talk
Campbell Park, E Campbell Ave & Gilman Ave, Campbell, CA, USOur theme for 2026 is Choose Joy!
Choosing joy means living with intention. It’s the practice of noticing what makes you feel alive, nurturing your well-being, and responding to life with greater presence, kindness, and self-trust.
Choosing joy isn’t about avoiding life’s challenges. It’s about staying connected to yourself as you move through them—and discovering that joy can coexist with real life, exactly as it is.
Our Topic for May is: The Joy of Friendship Walk & Talk
“Joy multiplies when it is shared among friends.” – Kahlil Gibran
Choosing joy in your friendships is really about how you show up with the people in your life.
It’s staying present, being real, and noticing the moments that feel good—like a laugh, a shared story, or just feeling understood. It also means noticing when you drift into stress, assumptions, or distraction, and gently coming back to the person in front of you.
It’s not about having perfect friendships or always feeling close. It’s about appreciating what’s already there and letting those moments count.
While we walk and talk, we’ll explore:
- What gets in the way of you being fully present?
- What helps you feel more open and real with others?
- What’s one small way you can choose joy with a friend this week?
Here’s the plan for our walk & talk:
- Meet by the adult swings in Campbell Park (info on parking in Campbell)
- Walk & Talk along the Los Gatos Creek Trail (about 2 miles)
- Participate in Sharing Circles
- Take a group photo
After the walk & talk, I'm walking to Orchard Valley Coffee in downtown Campbell - I'd love for you to join me!
**IF RAIN IS FORECASTED, I'LL UPDATE THE LOCATION TO MEET AT ORCHARD VALLEY COFFEE IN DOWNTOWN CAMPBELL.**
Joyfully,
Shannon
