Authenticity Over Algorithms

Community Over Coffee Series
Hosted by Phoenix Women’s Club + MOMS4MOMS

About the Event

Being a woman entrepreneur comes with layers of responsibility. You’re building a business while also managing clients, supporting your community, keeping up with family and personal commitments, and trying to stay visible in a digital world that’s constantly shifting.

Social media can make that even heavier. The algorithm changes without warning. Some days your work reaches people, other days it doesn’t. The effort you put in doesn’t always match the results you see. That constant back-and-forth can leave you feeling drained, or even disconnected from the reasons you started your business in the first place.

This event is designed as a reset. A morning where women can gather before the day takes off, share their real experiences, and connect over conversations that matter. No pressure to perform, no focus on numbers — just time to be in the room with women who understand both the challenges and the wins of entrepreneurship.

It’s an opportunity to step away from the noise, refill your cup, and leave with a stronger sense of community around you.

What You’ll Get

• Coffee that isn’t from your kitchen → Claire’s Coffee Cart will be on-site brewing lattes, tea, and all the good stuff.

• Light breakfast to keep the morning easy.

• Introductions that don’t feel forced → everyone gets to share who they are, what they do, and even a fun throwback: what did you want to be when you grew up?

• A mini-session on authenticity with Stephanie Anderson and Nik Rubio → no lectures, no panels, just an honest group conversation about what it looks like to stay true while showing up online.

• Connection with other women → not surface-level networking, but the kind of conversations that could spark real collaborations and friendships.

Why It Matters

Social media is part of how we grow, but it shouldn’t dictate who we are. This event is for women who are ready to move past the pressure of “beating the algorithm” and lean into building businesses (and lives) that reflect who they really are.

Because likes fade. Relationships don’t.

☕ Come ready to connect, share, and leave with more than a caffeine buzz.

Content can feel overwhelming when you’re creating alone. Content Creation + Connection was designed to make the process collaborative, fun, and inspiring. This monthly content mixer brings women entrepreneurs together to create side by side in a relaxed studio environment.

You’ll spend the afternoon at Afternoon Studios in Tempe, a bright and modern space with clean light and styled vignettes. The setup makes it easy to capture content without the stress of staging everything yourself. Before the event, you’ll receive a Pinterest inspo board so you can plan looks and ideas ahead of time. During the mixer, you’ll have time to film reels, take photos, and capture behind-the-scenes clips alongside other women who understand the demands of running a business.

This event is about more than content — it’s about community. You’ll meet other women in business, exchange ideas, share reel prompts, and support one another while you create. The mixer format keeps the energy light and collaborative, giving you space to create and connect at the same time.

Cartel Roasting Co., Tempe | 9–11 AM

Mondays feel different when you start them with community. Join us at Cartel in Tempe for our October coffee meetup — a casual morning to connect, chat, and reset before the week takes over.

This month’s theme is Strong Foundations. As women entrepreneurs, it’s easy to get caught up in the next big idea or the pressure to keep up online, but real growth comes from the groundwork you lay every day. From how you manage your time, to the systems that keep your business moving, to the people you surround yourself with — those foundations are what create stability and sustainability. We’ll have a guest speaker leading the conversation to spark ideas and reflection, then open up the floor for everyone to share and network.
