January MAWB Lunch & Learn

Our first event of 2026 is here — and it’s a meaningful one. We’re so excited to kick off the year with our January MAWB Lunch & Learn featuring Karla Smith (@karlalifecoach), Elevate MAWB Directory Member and founder of KS Life Coach.

Date: Tuesday, January 13, 2026
Time: 12:00–1:00 PM | Zoom

Session Topic: The invisible pressure to keep producing — and what it looks like to slow things down

This informal, reflective Lunch & Learn is a conversation many women don’t often get space to have. Karla will guide us through the quiet pressure so many capable, caring women carry — the need to keep doing, giving, and pushing, even when we’re already doing enough.

Together, we’ll explore:
• How this pressure shows up in our self-talk and expectations
• Why constant urgency and self-criticism don’t equal success
• What becomes possible when we lead with awareness, honesty, and self-kindness
• Small, practical ways slowing down can actually support our work and our lives

This session isn’t about doing more — it’s about redefining success in a way that feels supportive, sustainable, and true to you.
Register Today — we’d love to start 2026 learning and growing together. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to us.

Christine Hull, MAWB Founder
Laura Plummer, Administrator
