Once Upon a Grown Up Gathering

Once Upon a Grown-Up Gathering is an intimate, storybook-inspired evening for women navigating growth, reinvention, and bold becoming.

Once upon a time… we grew up.
But the stories that shaped us never left.

This gathering blends the nostalgia of childhood storytelling with meaningful, adult conversations around identity, self-trust, branding, leadership, and business—guided by stories rooted in children’s books and lived experience.

Through reflections inspired by beloved storybook themes, conversations around who we are becoming, and moments of connection (with a touch of live magic woven throughout), guests are invited to pause, reconnect, and see their own story with fresh eyes.

Each speaker uses storytelling—through books, branding, and identity—to explore how the lessons we learn early on continue to shape our confidence, visibility, leadership, and choices as adults.

✨ Be sure to scroll down to meet the speakers and explore the featured children’s books that anchor the heart of the evening.
