Create & Cultivate 2025 Recap

I had the opportunity to join the largest festival for women in business this weekend - and I could not be more energized by the 2-day experience.

Create & Cultivate is a conference to add to your 2026 hot list for next year. It reminded me why I love being part of the community of women who are rewriting the rules of business. You could feel the energy in every panel, activation, and conversation.

Truthfully, I still get a little intimidated by the “What do you do?” question (classic perfectionist over here). But this weekend was a refreshing reminder that building something meaningful isn’t about having a perfect elevator pitch. It’s about being bold enough to take up space, share your voice, and stay the course -even when the path isn’t linear.

A few gems I’m taking with me:

- Think of yourself as the investor in your business. What advice would you give the CEO?

- Your voice is your biggest asset, not your job title.

- Fast money doesn’t last, quality and purpose always win.

- It’s not about timing the market; it’s about time in the market.

Grateful to be standing on business (pun fully intended) and inspired to keep building with intention. 💡

To Marina Middleton & the incredible team at Create & Cultivate, just WOW! This was such a gift to experience. I can’t wait for next year!
