There are nights that remind you why you started. Wednesday 22 July was one of those nights for me.
I had the privilege of attending the SHE-Founders Cocktail Night in Sydney, hosted by SHE-com at the beautiful Shelbourne Hotel. Over 100 female founders gathered in one room, women who are building, scaling, dreaming, and doing the work every single day.
No pitching. No awkward small talk. Just real women having real conversations.
From the moment I walked in, the energy was electric. The kind you can't manufacture. Women who truly get the rollercoaster of running a business, the late nights, the self-doubt, the wins you celebrate quietly because not everyone understands what they mean.
One of the highlights of the evening was getting to meet Lisa Jones, co-founder of SHE-com. Lisa is an absolute powerhouse, warm, genuine, and deeply passionate about lifting women in ecommerce. The community she has built is a testament to her vision and heart, and meeting her in person only reinforced why SHE-com feels so special.
I spent the evening connecting with incredible entrepreneurs, sharing stories about Sisterly Bites, and listening to others talk about their own journeys. There's something so powerful about saying "me too" to someone who gets it. About being seen not just as a woman, but as a founder with a vision.
I left feeling inspired, energised, and more certain than ever that what we're building with Sisterly Bites matters.
To every woman I connected with that night, thank you. Thank you for your openness, your warmth, and your fire. You reminded me that we're not doing this alone.
If you ever get the chance to be in a SHE-com room, take it. Fill your cup. You deserve it.
