The Rhythm of The Connected Hearts Experience
At the center of Connected Hearts is our signature monthly gathering in Carlsbad, where women come together for thoughtfully facilitated evenings that blend personal growth, connection, and shared joy.
Through engaging experiences, meaningful conversation, and moments of reflection, each gathering creates space for insight, laughter, and connection that feels both uplifting and real.
But the Connected Hearts experience doesn’t end when the evening does. It’s designed to nurture connection and community throughout the month.
Between gatherings, members stay connected through virtual Connection Calls – a chance to pause, check in, and stay anchored in the month’s theme – as well as Connected Hearts “Unplugged” social meetups like beach walks, coffee chats, or local outings held simply for the joy of being together.
Together, these touchpoints create a natural rhythm of connection, reflection, and friendship that extends far beyond a single evening.
What Women are Saying
The evenings are so thoughtfully run, and it’s easy to dive into open, honest conversation. I love being in community with these women and look forward to our many meetups each month.
Connect Hearts has reminded me of what I value in myself and in my friendships: authenticity, kindness, strength of character and persistence.
A fun, uplifting evening that left me with that special feeling that lingers after getting together with a group of great women for the kind of talking and laughing you do when you get together away from work, family, etc. You get to be the self that perhaps others don’t get to see out of the usual context.
The membership offers a safe place for women to get together, make new friends, and share of themselves without fear. I have not experienced anything like this before.
I immediately knew I was in the right place when I started having genuine conversations with people and realized everyone was just being themselves. Nobody was trying to impress anyone. The women were welcoming, curious, and kind.

FAQs
Free casual social groups are built on good intentions, but without real commitment, attendance becomes inconsistent and the dynamic can drift, sometimes into the kind of drama you were hoping to leave behind. And someone always has to do the work of planning, coordinating, and hosting, which often becomes a burden in itself.
Connected Hearts is different because everyone here has made a genuine commitment to show up, not just once, but consistently. It’s a community. That shared investment is what allows real friendships to form and deepen, and it’s what makes this community feel so different from anything you may have experienced before.
There’s also nothing to organize, host, or coordinate. We handle the structure, the facilitation, and the experiences themselves.
Connected Hearts is designed to create deeper connection – and that’s difficult to create in a constantly changing drop-in environment. When the same women gather consistently over time, conversations go deeper, it feels easier to be yourself, and relationships have space to naturally grow. Membership allows each gathering to build on the last – creating a stronger sense of familiarity, comfort, and community.
At the same time, we understand that some women prefer a little more flexibility as they get to know the community, which is why we also offer limited flexible participation options for women who aren’t quite ready for full membership.
Our gatherings follow a regular schedule, so most women find it’s actually easier to protect than something that moves around. You put it on the calendar and it’s just part of your month.
That said, life happens. If you occasionally can’t make it, you won’t lose your place in the community – the Connection Calls and Unplugged social meetups keep you connected between gatherings. And because the same women come back every month, you can pick right up where you left off.
What we ask is that you show up with intention most of the time – because your presence matters to the women in the room, and theirs matters to you. That consistency is what makes this community feel different from everything else you’ve tried.
I totally get why it might sound that way. But think about it – you pay for a gym because showing up consistently is hard without structure and accountability, and because the equipment and instruction make your effort actually work. This is the same idea. You’re not paying to make friends. You’re investing in something most of us struggle to prioritize for ourselves.
Many people happily invest in therapy, coaching, retreats, yoga memberships, and wellness communities because those experiences provide intentional structure, expert guidance, and transformation. Connected Hearts was created with a similar philosophy in mind.
Every gathering is intentionally designed and personally facilitated by a Certified Life Coach (me) – centered around meaningful conversation, personal growth, genuine connection, and belonging. Each gathering helps women reflect, gain fresh perspective, connect more authentically, and walk away feeling lighter, inspired, and more like themselves.
The friendships that form here aren’t forced or transactional – they grow naturally through shared experiences, consistency, vulnerability, laughter, and mutual support. Real friendships don’t grow from a one-time event. They grow from showing up together, over time. And honestly, the women who’ve joined tell me it’s some of the best money they spend.
Our members are generally in their fifties to mid-sixties, though what matters most is where you are in life rather than the number of trips around the sun you’ve had. The conversations and themes reflect the experiences of women in this particular season – rediscovering themselves, reimagining what’s next, and building the kind of friendships that make this chapter feel full. If that resonates with you, you’re likely in the right place.
Connected Hearts is actually ideal for introverts – and many of our members describe themselves that way. Because every gathering is facilitated and has a thoughtful structure and flow, you never have to figure out how to work the room or fill awkward silences. You simply follow the evening as it unfolds. Most introverts say it’s the most comfortable social experience they’ve had in years because there’s nothing to perform. You just show up and let the evening carry you.
Our monthly themes are always fresh and relevant. Some are playful, others are deeply reflective, but all are designed to spark insightful conversation and meaningful personal growth.
Upcoming and past themes include:
- Becoming Your Own Best Friend: Learning to treat yourself with the same kindness, patience, and loyalty you’d offer a treasured friend – because that relationship changes everything.
- How to Be the Friend You Seek: Exploring the small but powerful habits that turn good intentions into the kind of friendship that actually lasts.

We share full pricing details after your guest experience because Connected Hearts is one of those things that’s difficult to fully understand from a website. The best way to know whether it’s the right fit is to experience a gathering for yourself, meet the women, and get a feel for the community.
Most women know pretty quickly whether it feels like something they’d like more of in their lives. If it does, we’ll provide all membership details, pricing, and options so you can make an informed decision.
Yes. All members agree to our Connected Hearts Promise – a simple set of values that shape the kind of community we want to create together. It’s about being respectful, kind, and supportive; keeping our space non-judgmental; and making it easy for everyone to feel welcome. These shared commitments help ensure our gatherings stay positive, authentic, and meaningful for everyone.
