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.

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.

I've been in She Is Unleashed for over a year and have got so much out of it. From the start it has been incredibly well run, with a steady stream of fun events that are always worth attending. More than that though, it is the feeling of being part of a supportive group of like-minded women. The whole vibe is positive and encouraging. Kim and the leadership team deserve a special mention, they are amazing and so approachable, and you can tell how much care goes into everything they do. If you are after a community that genuinely has your back, this is it!

I was so nervous when I went to my first SIU coffee group as I didn't know what to expect, but I am soooo glad I pushed myself to go!! SIU is an incredible women's business group that aims to build a community for you where you can share your ups and downs in business, and where you can build beautiful supportive friendships. I am part of our Mount Maunganui group and love our weekly coffee catch ups. Each week there is a topic to discuss to help us progress in our business ownership journey, and we get the opportunity to get advice from our fellow business owners and support each other. I could not have gotten through this year without my group. Highly recommend joining if you are looking for a community to do this journey with!

SIU is the most amazing community for women in business. What the team has created here expands far beyond traditional networking, it's a place of encouragement, growth, friendship and connection. I highly recommend joining this supportive network for any woman in business looking for likeminded people to connect with.

Being part of She Is Unleashed has been a transformative experience. I've never felt so supported and understood in both my business and personal journey. There's no competition, only genuine collaboration and encouragement. It's a space where women can openly share ideas, challenges, and feelings without judgment, knowing that everyone is on the same page. I'm so grateful to be part of this empowering circle where we uplift each other and grow together.

I am so happy I found She Is Unleashed! What an amazing group of women to be surrounded by! I look forward to our weekly meetings and always leave feeling inspired and that we are all on this crazy business journey together. Plus the support in the WhatsApp group is so nice. I am also super impressed by the amount of effort and love that goes into the events, I have been to a couple of the mastermind events and I got so much out of them! She Is Unleashed is so much more than just a networking group, it is a supportive and motivating safe place for women in business.
