About this Event

GUEST SPEAKER: Heather Bunch
TOPIC: Courage Over Comfort: How Your Hidden Fear Might Be Blocking Your Business Growth
WHERE: Johnson’s Corner – 2000 State Street Alton, IL 62002
WHEN: Friday September 18, 2026 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

We’re capable, driven and building something meaningful. So why do certain steps feel so dang hard?

Why do we procrastinate, overthink things to death, avoid the spotlight, or stay stuck longer than we know we should? (You know… the “I’ll do it tomorrow” tomorrow that keeps moving.) Or we stay busy chasing the next idea, pushing ourselves to look like we have it all together, or trying to carry the whole business on our own because others “just can’t do it like we can.”

In Courage Over Comfort, you’ll uncover your hidden core fear that may be secretly shaping your business decisions and discover the courageous action that can move you past the invisible barriers standing between you and your next level of growth.

Because sometimes the biggest thing standing in the way… isn’t strategy. It’s fear wearing really convincing disguises.

WEW events are all about connection and community, and we love sharing those moments. By attending a Women Empowering Women (WEW) meeting or event, you give permission for WEW and its organizers, leaders, and partners to capture and use photos, videos, or recordings that may include your image, voice, or likeness. These may be used – without compensation – for promotional, educational, or informational purposes across WEW print and digital channels.



All chapter meetings are FREE for anyone to attend. YES! You read that right.

(We just ask that if a chapter meeting is at a restaurant location, that you purchase a meal to support the location that is so graciously hosting our event. Don’t forget to tip your server a little extra as most restaurants are struggling with staffing issues and we want to make sure they know how much we appreciate them!)

Enjoy a proven, structured system that embraces the building of relationships which in turn will grow your business efficiencies, sales, exposure, and business processes.

Come meet and learn from panelists, experts, and local women in your WEW chapter. You will also find allies who want to help with your success and are ready to share their resources and expertise to help you take that next step in your personal and professional life.

For information about this chapter, please contact our corporate team at [email protected].
