I’m Michelle Ragusa, a 47 year old mother of two and married to Lucas Ragusa for over 24 years now. Lucas and I met in high school and remained friends until 1999 when we got engaged and married in 2001. Our daughter Sadie was born in 2001 and son Brent in 2002. Sadie is 24, a nurse, employed with Weiler Plastic Surgery and getting married in 2026. Our son, Brent is 22, an HVAC technician employed by our company, Total Maintenance at our New Orleans location. We have two dogs, Breesi and Khi. One cat Meme Cat. Lucas and I raised our family in Ascension Parish where we have resided now for over 24 years. In my spare time I love to travel just about anywhere a car, ship or plane will take me. You can find me on the beach in Pensacola about once a month during the spring into fall months. My husband and I enjoy LSU Football season in the fall, going to dinner and spending time with family and friends cooking and relaxing. My hobbies include working out at Regymen Fitness, making floral arrangements for my home and decorating for any season, holiday or event. I am the owner, along with my husband, of Elite Service Providers and Total Maintenance of Baton Rouge and New Orleans. We are the elite of home and business care for all air conditioning, heating, venting, indoor air quality, plumbing, electrical, and home generator needs. Our area stretches to all of South Louisiana. I also, assist in the operation and decision making of multiple family businesses from banking to sugar cane farming. I have joined this movement to connect with likeminded women, make new friends and memories and network!

Hi, I’m Ashlen McGinnis, wife, mom, and multi-passionate entrepreneur. I own LA Threaux, an axe-throwing venue in Louisiana that’s expanding to include a full speakeasy-style bar and kitchen. I also partner with a Wellness Company to help families switch to safer, more affordable everyday products while creating income from home. After leaving the corporate world and moving cross-country, I’ve built a life focused on faith, freedom, and fun, and now I help other women do the same. I’m passionate about smart wellness, authentic connection, and supporting women in business. Let’s build lives we love and businesses that last.
I love to work hard, play har---medium these days! After 15 years at a large firm I just launched my solo law practice in personal and catastrophic injury law. I am absolutely passionate about being effective and capable in my professional life, and I am acutely aware that we only get one life and we work to live. I am here to support women doing life on our own terms and I'm so glad to be part of this network of ladies living fully and freely.
As for me, I'm a happily married wife of an elevator man and we are parents to the bougiest Frenchie you've ever met -- when he's not running our lives, for fun we love to play golf and ride in Superkrewes Iris (Endymion for the hubs) for Mardi Gras!
