Guild Row: 3130 N Rockwell Street, Chicago IL

SESSION Details:

  • The day’s Master of Ceremonies: Whitney Reynolds, devoted Chicagoan and host of the nationally-syndicated PBS talk show The Whitney Reynolds Show
  • Meet Your Mentor Match: Speed Dating Edition with Brenda Jimenez: Finding the right mentor can feel a lot like dating – the pressure to put yourself out there and the fear of rejection are all too real. But like dating, it’s a numbers game. And the only way to find “the one” is to keep looking until you really click. In this session led by MENTOR New York’s Brenda Jimenez and Entrepreneur Rebeca Huffman, attendees will get the pro tips and pep talk needed to jump into the (mentor) dating game. Leads will share best practices for building authentic, lasting peer-to-peer relationships, before attendees participate in a round of “speed dating” where you may just find a perfect mentor match.
  • Creating Confidence with a Color Analysis: Confidence is key to going after your goals so we’re going to give women access to a unique experience that helps them present their most confident selves to the world. Color analysis is a powerful tool that allows women to discover their most flattering colors, based on their hair, eye, and skin colors. Local color analysts Runa and Krishna of Your Color Studio will conduct 1 on 1 consultations to help women access their best tones- the colors that hide imperfections and highlight their best features. Leave this session looking and feeling your best, and take home a color analysis card to use when building your future wardrobe.
  • Creating Your Catalyst to Getting the Good Stuff in Life with Priyanka Chopra Jonas: It’s often one transformational moment – a workshop, a creative breakthrough, a major obstacle, or even a single conversation – that can spark our personal journeys toward getting the good stuff in life. But these moments – catalysts – are hard to pinpoint in real time. How can we identify these catalysts and use them to help us reach our ambitions? Join Priyanka Chopra Jonas in an intimate fireside chat with Cate Luzio as she shares her catalysts to getting the good stuff in life and her keys to helping you create yours.
  • Adapting Your Way To Success with The Rolling Explorer with Jessica Jordan Ping: Change is an inevitable part of life. Some changes might be intentional and welcome while others may be completely out of our control. Regardless of the catalyst, change can shake up one’s plan quickly and ferociously. In this session, moderated by Whitney Reynolds, Jessica Jordan Ping—Content Creator, Podcast Host, and Professional Speaker—-shares how her experience living as a disabled woman has taught her about the power of adaptation and resilience in life, love, and work. Jessica will teach us how to build our own rejection rescue kits, embrace our true selves, and craft our unique paths in the face of adversity.​
  • Finding Financial Stability with Your Rich BFF with Vivian Tu: Vivian Tu, financial mastermind behind the Your Rich BFF brand, will lead a financial literacy and goal-setting session, where she’ll help empower more women to the lives they want to live. Vivian will share key learnings from her book with a focus on setting tangible financial goals and the importance of writing them down. After sharing her best tips, Viv will engage in a Q&A with the audience to answer their most pressing finance questions. Vivian’s tips for money management will help you prioritize your financial goals and create real plans for reaching them.
  • Fulfillment by Going Beyond Happiness with Jenn Lim: Making space for joy – however you choose to define it – can improve your mood and how you manage stress. In this session, we’ll hear from happiness expert, Jenn Lim, about how she creates time and space for the things that bring her joy and fulfillment, all while balancing the demands of life. After sharing her personal story and the tools she uses to go beyond happiness, Jenn will lead participants in a creative journaling activity. Attendees will have the chance to do some self-exploration, as they consider the key sources of highs and lows in their lives to shape a better future. The journaling serves as a starting point for a new practice you can incorporate into your life.
  • Showing Up with Confidence with Karen Blanchard: Style is more than just clothes—it’s about discovering what makes you feel like your most confident and authentic self. Join renowned stylist Karen Blanchard and lifestyle and beauty creator Amber Nicole as they help empower women to embrace their self-worth and radiate confidence. Karen is celebrated for her fearless approach to fashion, blending high and low-end pieces, venturing into the men’s section, and confidently experimenting with trends. Amber, a beauty entrepreneur with vitiligo, is known for encouraging women to challenge beauty standards. Whether you’re dressing for a job interview or just running errands, Karen and Amber will inspire you to refine your personal style and truly embrace your unique beauty.

See YOU there!

The evening concluded with a beautiful experience on the shores of Lake Delton. We had an amazing dinner at the brand New restaurant @Daylenessupperclub. Such cozy vibes, delicious food, and tasty cocktails. 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝙔𝙊𝙐𝙍 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙮!

YOU deserve a staycation! I headed about 30 miles YOU deserve a staycation! I headed about 30 miles outside downtown Chicago to 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝. @Wcsouthland is a luxurious escape from the city. The state of the art hotel opened in 2025 and has over 255 rooms and 43+ suites. There’s a pool, fitness center, and a full service luxury spa @wcsouthlandspa that spans 11,665 square feet. The 70,000 square foot casino offers 1,412 slot machines, 56 table games, poker room, and the newly opened - Sportsbook. Sportsbook is a high energy, 24/7 destination for sports fans to watch and wager. 

As a foodie my FAVORITE part is well the FOOD. 😆 I loved my dinner at Chef @Fabioviviani restaurant @altosteakhouse. We also enjoyed the Food Bazaar located on the ground floor. There’s six restaurants within the food bazaar and they’re all you can eat. I highly recommend heading to Chicago Southland for a staycation @wcsouthland.
