The networking era is over
Stop
networking.
Start becoming known.
You weren't made to be another business card in someone's purse.
Be seen. Be remembered.
Be the obvious choice.
Be the obvious choice.
Let's be honest...
You don't need more places to introduce yourself.
More isn't the answer
- Another networking event
- Another Facebook group
- Another stack of business cards sitting in your purse
What changes everything
You need people who actually remember your name after the event ends.
People who know exactly what you do.
People who know who to send your way.
People who think of you the moment an opportunity comes up.
People who celebrate your wins like they're their own.
Because business doesn't grow through random introductions.
It grows through meaningful relationships.
Welcome to the room
That's exactly what we've built inside The BESTIES Boardroom.
Not just another women's networking group. A room where women consistently show up for one another.
Week after week.
Relationship after relationship.
Opportunity after opportunity.
Your community is waiting
Ready to stop collecting contacts
and start building your community?
Connection. Visibility. Real relationships.
Why I built this room
18+
years in
leadership
leadership
Hi, I'm Ashley.
After nearly two decades in corporate leadership, building million-dollar sales teams, helping entrepreneurs become the obvious choice in their industry, and speaking on stages across the country...
I noticed something.
The women experiencing the biggest breakthroughs weren't always the smartest.
They weren't always the most talented.
They weren't even the ones working the hardest.
They simply had something many entrepreneurs don't.
The right people
in their corner.
- The right mentor.
- The right referral.
- The right collaboration.
- The right introduction.
- The right room.
And I realized...
Too many incredible women were building incredible businesses completely alone.
So I built the room I wish every ambitious entrepreneur had access to.
A place where strategy meets sisterhood.
Where networking actually turns into friendships.
Where mastermind conversations create breakthroughs.
Where visibility becomes intentional.
Where collaboration always beats competition.
Because I truly believe...
Your next level is one relationship away.
The BESTIES Boardroom
The Anti-Membership
Forget everything you think you know about memberships.
You’ve joined them.
You’ve paid for them.
You’ve forgotten about them.
Another...
- Another monthly subscription.
- Another Facebook group.
- Another login.
- Another Zoom call.
- Another community you never actually became part of.
This isn’t that.
The BESTIES Boardroom wasn’t built to give you more content to consume.
It was built to give you better people to grow with.
Women who...
- refer your business
- celebrate your wins
- challenge your thinking
- introduce you into new rooms
- collaborate with you
- support your launches
- hold you accountable
- remind you that you don’t have to build your business alone
Because the best investment you’ll ever make isn’t another course.
It’s proximity.
The BESTIES Boardroom
Receipts From the Room
Because community is nice… but results are even better.
The BESTIES Boardroom wasn’t built to give you another networking call to attend.
It was built to create opportunities.
The kind you can actually point to.
- Real referrals.
- Real collaborations.
- Real friendships.
- Real speaking opportunities.
- Real accountability.
- Real business growth.
Every single week, we celebrate the wins happening inside our community because we believe one thing:
The best communities don’t just create conversations. They create results.
Our favorite Friday ritual
Receipts from the Room
That’s why one of our favorite parts of every Friday call is something we call…
Where our members celebrate the referrals, collaborations, client wins, speaking opportunities, business breakthroughs, and “OMG, this happened because of this community!” moments that remind us why showing up consistently matters.
Because business growth shouldn’t just feel good.
It should leave receipts.
Recent Receipts from the Room

“I booked two discovery calls from one networking conversation.”

This is what happens when women stop competing… …and start connecting.
This isn’t about collecting business cards. It’s about building relationships that continue long after the Zoom call ends.
Relationships
turn into referrals. Referrals that turn into revenue.
Conversations
turn into collaborations.
And strangers
turn into business besties.
Because that’s what happens when you consistently show up in the right room.

✨ The visibility effect
Imagine if people actually knew your business
Not just your Instagram handle.
Imagine joining a networking call where nobody asks,
“So... what do you do again?”
Because they already know.
They know...
Who you serve.
What you sell.
Your current offers.
Your goals.
Your dream clients.
Exactly who they should refer to you.
That’s what happens when you stop networking once...
...and start showing up consistently.

Strategy • Perspective • Growth
More than networking.
This is where strategy happens.
Networking
Starts the conversation.
Masterminding
Creates the breakthrough.
Inside The BESTIES Boardroom, you're not just joining a networking community—you're joining a room full of ambitious women who bring different experiences, industries, perspectives, and expertise to the table.
Because one of the things we believe most is this: Every woman has something to learn, and every woman has something to teach.
Bring it to the room
You don't have to figure it out alone.
Whether you're navigating a difficult client situation, refining your messaging, pricing your services, planning a launch, preparing for a speaking opportunity, hiring your first team member, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to figure it out alone.
A difficult client situation
Refining your messaging
Pricing your services
Planning a launch
A speaking opportunity
Hiring your first team member
Simply feeling stuck
Whatever you're working through, someone in the room may already have the perspective that changes everything.
Sometimes the breakthrough you're searching for isn't another Google search. It's one conversation with someone who's already been where you're trying to go.
More than Friday mornings
Your membership extends far beyond the call.
Mastermind together
Participate in focused mastermind sessions where members collaborate to solve real business challenges together.
Learn from experts
Learn from guest experts through exclusive workshops on topics like sales, branding, marketing, leadership, AI, systems, wellness, finances, and more.
Step into the spotlight
Step into the spotlight by leading a member workshop and teaching the community about something you're passionate and knowledgeable about.
Get real support
Receive honest feedback, fresh perspective, encouragement, and accountability from women who genuinely want to see you succeed.
Because the smartest entrepreneurs don't pretend to have all the answers. They surround themselves with people who help them find them.
That's the power of being in the right room.
THE BESTIES FRAMEWORK
More than a networking community. More than a mastermind. A movement.
At the heart of everything we do is one simple belief:
Business is better when women build it together.

Your Friday Morning Obsession
01
Boardroom
Confessionals
We skip the awkward small talk. Real conversations first. Business second.

the Week
Every week, one member becomes the main character.
- No extra fee.

- No huge following required.
03
Boardroom
Roll Call
Practice talking about your business until confidence becomes second nature.
04
Receipts from
the Room
Because referrals deserve receipts.

05
Open Yap
The official networking ends. The magic usually starts.
Stay for the conversations you can't schedule. This is where quick questions get answered, unexpected introductions happen, and “wait—we should do that together” moments turn a call into community.
🌟 Featured Bestie
Every woman deserves her moment to shine.
One of the things we love most about The BESTIES Boardroom is making sure every member has the opportunity to be truly seen.
Each week, we intentionally feature one BESTIE—giving her dedicated visibility to introduce her business, share her story, highlight her expertise, and tell the community exactly how they can support her.
But because we believe every woman deserves the opportunity to be known, celebrated, and remembered.
Because people can't refer your business if they don't know your business.

Current Ask
Tell me about a photo you wish you had. 🥹 Maybe it's someone you love, a season that went too fast, or one of those ordinary little moments you didn't realize you'd miss until it was gone. I want to hear the story behind it—because those are exactly the moments that remind me why I do what I do. 💕

Tori Lynn
Couples + Wedding Photographer | Tori Lynn Photography
Jacksonville photographer, professional hype girl, and proud fellow weirdo who believes your love story should actually look like you. Tori is happiest photographing quirky, wildly-in-love couples who would rather laugh until their stomachs hurt than spend an hour perfectly posing. Whether you need a hype girl, calming presence, or emergency shoulder to cry on, she's there for all of it—creating a safe, welcoming space where every kind of love gets to be celebrated exactly as it is.
Current Ask
Okay couples, what's the most you date you could possibly plan? 👀 Forget what's romantic on Pinterest—I want the weird, random, ridiculously specific thing the two of you would actually have fun doing together. Tell me in my DMs... bonus points if it would make an incredible photo session. 😂💖

Celine Feldz
Strategist + Designer | Among Lions Creative
Equal parts creative strategist and tech nerd, Celine is a schnauzer mom, coffee connoisseur, bookworm, and the woman who probably has a Bluetooth headset on as you're reading this. 😂 Behind Among Lions Creative, she helps bold business owners turn great ideas into brands that are impossible to overlook. From strategy and visual identity to digital design and social presence, Celine believes you don't have to be the loudest in the room to stand out—even among lions, there's always room to rise.
Current Ask
Show me a brand you can't stop looking at. 👀 It can be yours or someone else's—send me their page and tell me what keeps pulling you in. The colors? The personality? The way everything just feels like them? I geek out over what makes a brand unforgettable, and I want to know what catches your eye.

Kristen Williams
Event Producer + Strategist | YES! Events
Event strategist, producer, and the woman quietly thinking about what your event is supposed to do while everyone else is choosing centerpieces. 😂 After nearly a decade backstage on events featuring names like Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, Jeff Walker, and Lisa Nichols, Kristen now helps coaches, experts, and high-ticket organizations build events with a strategy behind every moment. From the offer and session flow to the final run of show, she creates rooms designed to move audiences from “tell me more” to “where do I sign?”—and her clients have the million-dollar event results to prove it.
Current Ask
Event hosts, I want to know: what are you actually trying to make happen when everyone leaves the room? 👀 More sales? A movement? Applications? Renewals? A next-level offer? Tell me the outcome you're building toward. I’m endlessly fascinated by the strategy behind the event—and I’ll probably immediately start thinking about how I’d engineer the room to get you there.

FAQ
I've never joined a networking group before. Will I feel awkward?
Not here.
Our calls are intentionally designed to feel like conversations—not competitions. Most women tell us they felt welcomed before they even finished introducing themselves.
Do I have to come every Friday?
Nope.
Life and business happen. Come as often as you can. The more consistently you show up, the more relationships—and results—you'll build.
Can I really come to two calls for free?
Absolutely!
We want you to experience the room before making a decision. Join us as a guest for up to two networking calls and see why so many women choose to become BESTIES.
What types of businesses are represented?
Everything from photographers and coaches to real estate professionals, attorneys, marketers, wellness experts, creatives, consultants, and service providers. If you're a woman building something bigger, you'll fit right in.
Is this only for established business owners?
Not at all.
Whether you're just getting started or scaling an established business, you'll be surrounded by women who are eager to support, collaborate, and grow alongside you.
Is this a coaching program?
No.
While you'll absolutely learn from the incredible women in the room, The BESTIES Boardroom is a community-first experience. Think networking meets mastermind, accountability, visibility, and genuine relationships—all in one place.
