A Letter from Desi
Hi beautiful friends,
Over the past few months, I’ve been doing a lot of listening.
Listening to your feedback.
Listening to what’s happening in the world.
Listening to my own heart about what EmpowerHER Life is meant to be.
One thing is crystal clear:
We need to stay rooted in connection, grounded in purpose, and flexible enough to keep this movement growing strong — even when times are uncertain.
That’s why we’re making a few important changes.
I want to walk you through them personally, share what’s shifting, why it matters, and why I’m more excited than ever for what’s ahead.
Doing Life Together: A New Focus for In-Person Events
Our in-person events are the heart of EmpowerHER Life.
And they’re about to get even better.
We’re shifting back to what makes our community different — real connections, real support, and real fun.
That means more time for coffee chats, celebrations, laughter, and shoulder-to-shoulder growth.
But don’t worry — the business side isn’t going away.
At our in-person events, you’ll still find:
- Featured nonprofits making an impact
- Local vendors showcasing amazing work
- Opportunities for personal and professional growth
We’re simply putting the heart of the experience first — because when women connect authentically, business, growth, and impact naturally follow.
Virtual Programming: On Fire and Getting Better
One thing I’m incredibly proud of right now is our virtual programming.
It’s on fire.
The live trainings, expert sessions, community calls, and digital resources you have access to right now?
It’s next-level — and it’s only getting bigger.
Honestly, if you just tapped into the virtual side alone, your membership would still be one of the most valuable things you could invest in.
It’s helping us reach more women, in more places, who are hungry for real community and real growth.
Virtual connection is powerful.
And we’re just getting started.
Membership Updates: Keeping It Accessible
We also heard you loud and clear:
You want EmpowerHER Life to stay accessible, affordable, and valuable — especially in uncertain times.
That’s why we’re making a few important updates:
- New Membership Pricing: $65/month for new members
- Founding Members: Grandfathered in at $50/month
- Lunches: Will now be ticketed separately
This structure helps us grow sustainably while giving you more flexibility.
You’ll get access to everything EmpowerHER Life offers — and you’ll only pay for the meals and extras you want to join.
It’s about keeping this movement strong without adding stress to your life.
Coming Soon: A Standalone EmpowerHER Life Community and App
One more thing — and it’s a big one.
We’re building a standalone EmpowerHER Life community and app to make connecting even easier.
Imagine:
- Finding and messaging women across cities
- Creating circles around shared interests
- Collaborating, growing, and supporting each other — without the noise of traditional social media
It’s women supporting women, in one powerful, private, easy-to-navigate place.
And it’s coming soon.
Final Thoughts
I’m so proud of what we’ve built.
But more than that — I’m proud of where we’re going.
These changes aren’t about pulling away from what we’ve done.
They’re about pulling even closer to what matters most:
Doing life together.
Thank you for believing in this mission.
Thank you for trusting me through the shifts.
And thank you for being the heart and soul of EmpowerHER Life.
We’re just getting started.
With so much love,
Desi
