A Girl’s Guide to Money and Finances: A [gather] Talk Series

​Let’s talk money — without the jargon, shame, or overwhelm. We’re bringing together an incredible community of women for a night designed to spark confidence, clarity, and connection around finances. ✨

​This event will feature three dynamic guest speakers 🎤, each leading a mini-session on key financial topics including investing, budgeting, money habits, and entrepreneurship 💸📊🚀. These are not panel-style conversations — they’re short, standalone teachings designed to meet you where you are and leave you with tools you can actually use 🧰, plus a Q&A with all of them at the end! We will be announcing the speakers closer to the event.

​Whether you’re figuring out how to start investing 📈, trying to make your paycheck stretch a little further 💰, or dreaming up your next side hustle 💡 — this night is for you 🙌.

​You’ll walk away with:
• New perspectives on how to grow and manage your money 🌱
• Practical steps to feel more in control of your finances ✅
• A renewed sense of community and empowerment 🤝✨

​We’re also partnering with two amazing women-led brands to make the night extra special ⭐️:
Doce Mezcal will be serving up delicious signature cocktails 🍹 (don’t miss the Spritz!)
FYB Jewelry will host a charm bar where you can create and purchase your own pieces ✨🛍️ — plus, you’ll hear from founder Alyssa during the event 💬

​Plus more goodies and giveaways and yummy food + drink!
