Founder's NoteEvery Job You've Had Has Led You Here
The paper run, the boring admin job, the side hustles that went nowhere. Looking back, none of it was random.

Welcome to She Is Unleashed
A community for women in business
You were never meant to build your business alone.
She Is Unleashed is a growing community of women in business, meeting weekly, backing each other publicly, and building the kind of businesses that honour the whole woman: mind, energy and vision.
Trusted by 200+ women in business across 18+ NZ locations.
4+ years
in the arena, built by women who are in it
Sound familiar?
Running a business shouldn't feel this lonely.
You carry every decision. Referrals are inconsistent. Motivation dips. The networking rooms feel transactional, the online groups feel noisy, and the "hustle at all costs" advice doesn't fit the woman or the life you're building.
She Is Unleashed exists for the in-between. For the women who want serious business growth without leaving themselves behind to get it.
The Membership Experience
More than networking. A community designed to move you forward.
Six things that make SIU different from any room you've been in before.
01
Weekly local groups
Same time, same place, every week. Real momentum is built through consistency, not one-off networking events.
02
Referrals & collaboration
Genuine relationships with women who remember what you do and actively look for ways to send business your way.
03
Business development
Practical strategy from women in the arena who are building, scaling and selling. Not textbook theory.
04
Personal leadership
Backed by Business Psychology. Understand yourself, your energy and the leader your business needs you to be.
05
Visibility
Speak, be spotlighted, contribute. A community that actively creates opportunities for its members to be seen.
06
Events & experiences
Long lunches, summits, retreats and rooms full of women who understand what it takes.
Our culture
Culture is our competitive advantage.
We've built something special, and we're intentional about keeping it that way.
- Kindness matters.
- Integrity matters.
- Encouragement matters.
- Showing up for one another matters.
If you're looking for cliques, comparison, or competition, this probably isn't your community.
If you're looking for genuine connection, women who celebrate your success, and a place where you truly belong…
You're home.

I absolutely love being a part of She is Unleashed! It's an incredible networking group for women in business who are supportive, like minded, positive and so welcoming. In addition being a member of She is Unleashed opens up a world of opportunities for learning, offerings, advice and masterclasses. Kim has created an amazing platform for women in business to thrive!
Joining She Is Unleashed has been one of the best business moves I've made. The group feels like a supportive community of like-minded women, all sharing positive vibes. I've not only made great friendships but also picked up clients and referrals. Working from home can be a bit lonely, so meeting up with this group every week is perfect for staying social. It's also helped me build confidence when speaking in groups. The weekly topics are diverse and offer practical advice from everyone involved. Overall, I feel really lucky to be part of She Is Unleashed.
After leaving an industry that I have worked in for over 20 years and buying my own business, I was unsure how to develop my new network for support and understanding. Although fairly new to She's Is Unleashed, I have already made amazing contacts, collaborated with others in the group, felt connected and learned a lot. The casual yet structured approach to the gatherings enables everyone to feel welcome and open to sharing. The group is quickly becoming an important part of my week and they help me to feel confident and positive in what I am doing.

What kind of businesses are part of She Is Unleashed?
All kinds! That's one of the things we love most about SIU.
Our community includes women across a huge range of industries, from creatives, consultants and coaches to real estate, finance, trades, wellness, beauty, marketing, photography, events, retail, professional services and everything in between.
Some of our members are building newer businesses, while others have been in business for years. Some are solo operators, some have teams, and some run multiple businesses.
There isn't one "type" of woman or business that belongs in SIU. What connects our members is a desire to grow, build genuine relationships, share opportunities and be surrounded by other women who understand business.

You Don't Have to Do Business Alone
I had seen an event, but was too shy to attend. Here's what happened when I finally walked through the door.

The Beautiful Mess of Building Something That Matters
Growth rarely feels comfortable while you're living it. Most of the time, it simply feels like change.
