Changes for May 2026 and beyond …
As with everything, SupportHER has evolved over the past almost 2 years and is continuing to do so.
After May 2026, SupportHER will be moving from a monthly to a quarterly format. The next two meetings will be August and November.
“SupportHER is exactly what I’ve been looking for out of a networking group since I started my business 6 years ago.”
Entrepreneurship can feel isolating.
Especially for women who are juggling it all.
Sometimes we think we are the only one struggling:
Overwhelm from not knowing where to start or which advice to trust.
The hesitation and anxiety of walking into a room full of strangers.
The frustration of balancing business, family, and everything else pulling at your time.
The nagging voice of Imposter Syndrome making you doubt your worth.
Feeling stuck even though your business is doing well — wondering how to break through to the next level.
The loneliness of having no trusted circle to share your wins, struggles, and ideas.
Facing gender bias and craving a space where you’re truly understood.
Join us for SupportHER Connect Network!
SupportHER is a welcoming, focused space for female entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses through authentic connection, shared learning, and mutual support.
We all want more sales—after all, that’s the heart of entrepreneurship. But this group is about building relationships and learning from each other in service of our growth and the clients we serve. When we focus on genuine connection and collaboration, sales naturally follow.

Topic: Become the Person People Remember, Refer, and Reach Out To: A LinkedIn Strategy for Busy Entrepreneurs
Speaker: Brittany Miller of Brittany Miller Biz
Description:
You're doing the marketing. Showing up on social. But somehow, people still don't really know what you do or who to refer to you.
If you're a busy entrepreneur who's tired of posting without seeing real results, or you've put social media on the back burner because it feels like a lot of effort for very little return, this session is for you.
LinkedIn is the most underutilized platform for service providers and small business owners. It's where your ideal clients, referral partners, and opportunities are already hanging out. The question is: do they know who you are?
In this session, you'll learn how to use LinkedIn to build a personal brand that makes you memorable, referable, and top of mind, without adding more to your plate.
You'll walk away knowing:
→ Why LinkedIn is different: and why it's the best-kept secret for entrepreneurs who are done with the social media hamster wheel
→ How to clarify your personal brand: using the Core 4 Framework to define what you're known for, who you help, and why it matters
→ 3 simple ways to start showing up: practical strategies to build visibility and trust on LinkedIn (even if you've never posted before)
You'll leave with a clear starting point and the confidence to become the person people remember, refer, and reach out to.
Networking Question: How do you define success in your business right now — and has that definition changed since you started?

Speaker Bio:
Brittany Miller is a Personal Brand Strategist and LinkedIn Expert who helps busy entrepreneurs turn their LinkedIn presence into a magnet for the right clients, referrals, and opportunities.
After years of watching talented business owners burn out on content that wasn't converting, Brittany became obsessed with one question: What if showing up online didn't have to feel so exhausting?
Now, through her signature LinkedIn Business Growth Academy and her Core 4 Framework, she helps service providers and small business owners clarify what they're known for, show up with intention, and become the person people remember, refer, and reach out to.
Her clients have gone from invisible to fully booked, from "what do you actually do?" to getting introduced at networking events by name and reputation. She brings warmth, real talk, and actionable strategy to every session, because showing up online should lead to real clients, not just more to-do's.
“We don’t have to do all of it alone. We were never meant to.”

Have Questions? … I Have Answers!
-
While we’re all entrepreneurs who want to grow our businesses, SupportHER focuses on building genuine connections and sharing practical insights. It’s not a sales-driven event—sales often come naturally when relationships are authentic and trust is built.
-
First-timers are warmly welcome! We ask that you come with an open mind, ready to listen, contribute thoughtfully, and respect everyone’s time and energy. The goal is to create a positive experience for all.
-
I’m not defining it; you are. If you identify as female and and entrepreneur, awesome! Join us
-
I get that it can be overwhelming to walk into a room where you don’t know anyone, but by the end of the meeting, you’ll know at least one other person.
-
Nope. It's late and a lot of people don't want tea or coffee in the evening so I am skipping that (you are welcome to bring your own though!). There is water available too. I also find it's hard to manage food at every event, so I'm opting to not include it. Tickets are pretty cheap too.
-
Nope. It’s low commitment. Come to one (or all). You decide if you want to
sign up. There is no guilt if you can’t attend them all (or if you don’t want to).
-
I do have expenses to run this event and when we pay a small amount, we have some skin in the game to show up.
-
I open 20 regular tickets which cost $10 until 1 week before the event (at which point, they increase to $15). Once those 20 tickets sell, I will often open 5 bonus seats at $15. So once you see bonus seats, you know there are only a few left!
-
I totally understand that things come up and that life happens and sometimes you can’t make it. You are welcome to give your ticket to someone else.
To keep the cost of the event low, I don’t offer refunds or future credits.
