Community + Connection + Collaboration + Inspiration
The virtual business conference for heart-centered women who crave connection,
alignment, and a business that connects to their soul.
Welcome to The Honest Summit!

You know there's something bigger for you and your business.
➥ When you started your entrepreneur journey you weren’t counting on spending most of your days alone on your laptop with your dog, or you know, your kids on your lap as you finish writing an email to a client! You desperately crave the support and inspiration from other like-minded women.
➥ Some days it can feel like you’re playing whack-a-mole in your business. There are 1001 things that need to be done on any given day and your brain is overflowing with more ideas to execute. You want and NEED direction so you can feel focused and clear on your next step.
➥ Or maybe the fire and passion you felt when you first started your business is fading and you’re wondering if your business is ever going to be what you want it to be.
This entrepreneur life is a total rollercoaster, now more than ever. Sometimes what we need to shake up the energy is to be surrounded by others doing the same thing & going through the same thing.
You might just need to hear ONE thing at this event that unblocks you, that moves you into inspired action, that re-ignites the flame.
Hi, I'm Mariangelica.
I’m a wife, mother, entrepreneur, digital marketer, strategist, and self-proclaimed night owl.
On any given day, you can find me connecting with my beautiful community, strategizing and innovating revenue-generating solutions for my 1:1 clients, running a digital marketing agency, and likely breastfeeding a baby while dancing around my living room with a toddler.
I know how many hats you wear as an entrepreneur and I want you to know that you’re not alone. I see you, and I AM you.
There are others like us, too!
I strongly believe in the power of women coming together in a community to support and uplift one another. To share space and learn, together.
When strong women gather, we are quite literally unstoppable.
It’s my mission to help you reclaim your voice, your power, and your inspiration so you can build a business that supports your most abundant life & feels good in your soul.

KARLA GREGG
How to Humanize Your Brand
People respond to people- it's that simple. Nowadays it's important to steer away from robotic marketing tactics that just focus on selling. The more you let your audience into your journey, story, and the why behind what you do, the more people will be drawn to you. In this talk, I will discuss how you can start engaging with your audience without oversharing but instead, market with a purpose.
VANESSA BOWEN
Releasing Limiting Money Beliefs
Do you desire more money and abundance? I bet as you just screamed YES, you also heard a little voice whisper all the reasons why that’s not possible for you.
The money and abundance you desire is on the other side of those limiting beliefs. The beliefs that constantly tell you that your financial life is already a mess and achieving your deepest financial dreams is absolutely impossible. It’s time to create a new money story and release the beliefs that are blocking your abundance.
It’s time to live in your true financial worth.
ELAINE KAPOGINES
The Media Mindset
Getting coverage by the press has been proven to be one of the most effective ways to grow your business by creating a level of credibility and visibility not offered by any other marketing strategy. But for many entrepreneurs, the biggest struggle is that they don't know where to start! Diving into a media strategy really does start with your mindset -- if you're not in the right frame of mind, you will not see the results you want...or worse, you'll never even get started! The Media Mindset will walk you through step-by-step how to boost your confidence and create a meaningful basis for an effective media relations strategy!

Although we are meeting virtually for this event, we are reminded that Kitchener-Waterloo, where I live, is situated on land that is the traditional home of the Haudenosaunee (Ho-deh-no-show-nee), Anishinaabe (Ah-nish-nah-bay) and Neutral People. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place. We also recognize the contributions Indigenous peoples have made in shaping and strengthening this community. Our ability to be working and living here now—in Waterloo Region, in Ontario, in Canada—is a direct benefit of policies of expulsion and assimilation of Indigenous peoples during the time of settlement and Confederation, and since. The harms of these policies are many and are still being felt in Indigenous communities today.
We have a responsibility, as such beneficiaries, to acknowledge and understand this history and the current experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, and for this understanding to inform the work that we do, so that, first, we can stop perpetuating the damages of colonization, and, second, to begin to repair them. Land acknowledgements are just one small, first step in doing this work.
