A celebration of women rising
together with strength and hope

Redefining life after divorce

Our annual signature event recognizing the resilience, determination, and transformation of women navigating life after divorce. Each year, we honor four extraordinary members whose stories reflect the strength it takes to face uncertainty, rebuild after loss, and step forward with clarity and purpose.

Through honest storytelling and shared experience, this event shines a light on what courage truly looks like — not perfection or ease, but persistence, self-trust, and the willingness to begin again.

Join us for an evening of connection, inspiration, and collective strength. Together, we affirm what every woman deserves to know: you are not alone, your story matters, and what comes next can be powerful.

Wednesday | April 8th | 6PM-9PM

MEET OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Dr. Ingrid Clayton

We are honored to welcome Ingrid Clayton, Ph.D. — licensed clinical psychologist, trauma expert, and author of Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves.

Dr. Clayton brings cutting-edge psychology and deep personal insight into a universal yet misunderstood survival pattern: fawning — a trauma response that drives people-pleasing, self-erasure, and boundary challenges. Her work reframes these experiences not as flaws, but as learned strategies for survival, and guides people toward self-agency, authentic connection, and healing.

New Possibilities

Discover that the future holds more joy, strength, and love than you ever imagined.

"Life after divorce is more than just survival. It’s about rediscovering your strength, reclaiming your joy and forging a future filled with hope."


Divorce is more than a legal process—it’s a life-altering journey filled with challenges, uncertainty, and transformation.

Every year, our Women of Courage event celebrates the incredible strength of our community—women who have faced adversity, navigated the complexities of divorce, and emerged stronger.

This inspiring event honors four remarkable members who have redefined their lives with resilience and determination. Through their stories, we recognize the courage it takes to rebuild, heal, and move forward.

Join us as we come together in support, inspiration, and solidarity—because no woman should walk this path alone.

Why this night matters

Women of Courage pauses the noise of everyday life and creates space for reflection, insight, and connection. It brings forward stories, ideas, and conversations that help illuminate what it means to move through difficulty and emerge with deeper self-understanding and resolve.

Why this night holds such meaning

You’ll leave with perspective, language, and insight that help make sense of what you’ve experienced. More than inspiration, this evening offers understanding that can support how you move through your life beyond this moment.
