Lionhearted Foundation Connect Lunch - Friday 31st July 2026

The Lionhearted Connect Lunches are designed to bring women together for meaningful conversation, connection and shared lived experience in a relaxed and intimate setting.
This July, we are delighted to welcome Katie Johnston, reality TV survivor (MAFS), wellness entrepreneur, CEO of EATS HQ, founder of Empowered Empath and passionate advocate for emotional wellbeing, resilience and purpose led living.
Known to many through her public journey following MAFS, Katie has used her experiences to create a life and business grounded in authenticity, wellness, community impact and self-trust.
Through her work across wellness, hospitality and philanthropy, she brings a refreshingly honest perspective on rebuilding confidence, navigating change and creating a life aligned with your values.
This will be a thoughtful and heartfelt conversation around resilience, reinvention, leadership, wellbeing and the courage it takes to redefine success on your own terms.
The Lionhearted Connect Lunches are intentionally small and curated to allow genuine connection, conversation and community in the stunning private dining room of Bella Venezia, one of the Sunshine Coast’s most awarded and loved dining experiences, known for its exceptional food, warm hospitality and beautiful atmosphere.
We would love you to join us for what promises to be a powerful and inspiring afternoon.
