January Glow & Grow: A Beautiful Start to the Year in Knoxville

January’s Glow & Grow event was everything I hoped it would be—and more. It wasn’t just another gathering. It was a room full of intention, creativity, collaboration, and genuine connection. From the moment guests walked in, you could feel it: Knoxville showed up in a big way.

What continues to impress me most about this community is not only the number of women who attended our launch event, but the quality—thoughtful, engaged, supportive women who came ready to connect, uplift, and invest in one another. That energy is priceless, and it’s what makes these events so meaningful for everyone involved.

Grateful, Inspired, and Excited for What’s Ahead

What stood out most was how supportive this Knoxville community truly is. Women cheering each other on. Conversations that went deeper than surface-level networking. Businesses connecting not out of obligation, but out of curiosity and respect.

I walked away from January Glow & Grow feeling deeply grateful—to the partners who trusted us, the venue that welcomed us, and the guests who continue to show up with open hearts and open minds. This is the kind of community that reminds me why we do this.

If January was any indication, this year is going to be something special. I’m honored to be building alongside such an incredible group of women and businesses right here in Knoxville.
