Wednesday, February 25 at 7 p.m. | Work Smart Canada | The Real Life Entrepreneur Series – The Sustainable CEO: A New Way to Work in Peri & Menopause Workshop | If your business used to feel easier and now everything feels harder… you’re not imagining it. If peri-menopause or menopause is shifting your energy, focus, mood, sleep, or capacity — it makes sense that running your business the same way isn’t working anymore. In this free workshop, you’ll learn how to rebuild structure, time management, and expectations around the woman you are today — so you can stay in business without burning out or constantly feeling behind. It’s time to recalibrate & rise by building a business that fits your life now. To learn more and register: http://www.worksmartcanada.ca/freetraining

Saturday, March 8 at 3:00 p.m. | Chorus Hamilton | Unorthodox: Women of Jazz | Celebrate International Women’s Day with the voices that refused to be silenced. Featuring 80+ singers, guest soloist Céline Cascanette, and jazz standards made famous by Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, and more—music you know, sung in a way you don’t expect.

Wednesday, March 11 at 7 p.m. | Work Smart Canada | The Real Life Entrepreneur Series | The Steady CEO: From Surviving to Steady Workshop | Big life shifts can wreck your focus, confidence, and motivation — and make you feel like your business is slipping through your fingers. If you’re navigating separation, divorce, grief, or a major life transition, you may feel like you’re trying to run your business while carrying a heavy emotional load. This workshop is for women entrepreneurs who want to rebuild momentum, create structure, find purpose, and move forward without shame, pressure, or pretending everything is fine. Because it may not be fine. And that’s OK. It’s time to start moving from surviving to steady … one breath, one decision, one step at a time.

Goodwill Industries, Ontario Great Lakes | Be the Reason Someone Walks Into Their Interview with Confidence | At ClothingWorks Hamilton, we see it every day — the moment someone looks in the mirror and stands a little taller. The right outfit doesn’t just change how a person looks; it changes how they feel about themselves and what they believe is possible. We provide new and gently used professional clothing — suits, blouses, dress pants, shoes, and accessories — to job seekers who are working hard to build a better future. For many, this is more than preparing for an interview. It’s preparing for a fresh start, renewed confidence, and the chance to be seen for their skills and potential. This March, you can be part of that transformation. Your donation could be the blazer that helps calm nervous hands before an interview, the shoes that carry someone into their first day of work, or the finishing touches that help them feel proud and prepared. Every piece of clothing you give wraps someone in dignity, encouragement, and hope. When you donate, you’re not just giving clothing — you’re reminding someone that their community believes in them. Join us in supporting Hamilton’s job seekers. Donate today and help someone step forward with confidence. Contact: Evelyn Zaya Email: ezaya@goodwillonline.ca Phone: 905-526-8482 ext. 2288
