When we think back on Pretty Powerful, one word keeps rising to the surface: you.
You- the women who showed up with open hearts and radiant energy.
You- the caregivers, survivors, thrivers, supporters, and friends.
You- the ones who laughed, cried, danced, and didn’t shy away from the messy moments.
It wasn’t a flawless day. Things didn’t all go according to plan. But in those unscripted, imperfect moments, we saw the very best of what community looks like. We saw women band together, lift each other up, offer tissues and hugs, and share strength like it was second nature. That’s what Pretty Powerful is all about.
We hope you left feeling stronger, softer, seen, and supported. Because no matter what you’re going through, you’re never alone.
And you? You are Pretty Powerful.
A Stage Full of Strength and Vulnerability
We were honored to welcome a powerhouse lineup of speakers who brought their whole hearts to the stage:
- Anita Tran of @awkwardlifeofcancer – a thriver sharing her story with humor, rawness, and authenticity that made us laugh and cry in equal measure.
- Megan Fox of @foxymamafox, who spoke from the caregiver perspective, showing the strength it takes to love and support someone through the cancer journey.
- Kris Lugo of @klugomom, a survivor who moved the entire room with her resilience and honesty.
- Corinne Christian of Fighting Pretty, who grounded us all in presence and power, @fightingpretty.
Their words reminded us that there is no one way to be strong. And that showing up as you are is enough.
A Marketplace Full of Heart
We were so proud to spotlight women-owned and women-run businesses throughout the event- each one bringing something unique, beautiful, and intentional to the Pretty Powerful experience. Whether it was self-care goodies, handmade jewelry, clean beauty, or stylish gifts, every vendor was part of a bigger story: women supporting women.
