October Community Connection

Redefining Success — What Does “Enough” Look Like?

We spend so much of our lives working toward the next goal, milestone, level, or version of ourselves—but how often do we stop to ask who defined “success” in the first place?

This month, we’ll explore how our definitions of success evolve throughout different seasons of life, where outside expectations may still be shaping the way we measure ourselves, and what it might look like to define success on our own terms.

Come ready for reflection, meaningful conversation, and perhaps a new perspective on what it means to be doing “enough.”

October 30th Spotlight Guests: Jess Parvin + Kari Mysker

Get to Know Your Facilitators!

Sometimes the people who enter our lives and the paths we find ourselves on have an impact we never could have predicted.

This month’s Spotlight Conversation brings together Jess Parvin and Kari Mysker to reflect on their entrepreneurial journeys, how their paths unexpectedly crossed, and the ways their connection has influenced both their businesses and their lives. Together, they’ll share some of the pivots, lessons, challenges, and moments of growth that have shaped who they are and the work they do today.

Jess Parvin is a business strategist, spiritual life coach, branding expert, and intuitive guide for soul-led, multi-passionate women who are ready to turn what they feel called toward into something real. With more than a decade of experience in branding and website development, Jess blends creative expertise and grounded strategy with Human Design and intuitive guidance. Her work helps women create businesses that are not only sustainable and profitable, but deeply aligned with who they are becoming.

Kari Mysker is the Founder/Owner of Ether Wellness in Madison, WI, and a Women’s Strength & Embodiment Coach specializing in whole-body wellness. Her approach blends movement, nutrition, women’s hormone health, stress management, mindset, and lifestyle support. Kari’s work is rooted in the belief that wellness goes beyond workouts—it’s about building strength, resilience, and self-trust while learning to honor the body’s changing needs.

Following the Spotlight Conversation, we’ll turn the conversation back to the community with guided reflection and small-group discussion around the unexpected connections, decisions, and paths that have helped shape our own lives.

October’s Refreshment Sponsor: Janis Strutt from Morgan’s Caring Connection

What to Expect

Interested in being a Spotlight Guest or maybe there is someone you’d like to nominate?

At Gather & Grow, we believe that every woman’s story holds wisdom and that we can all learn something from each other, regardless of our path or profession. We’re not necessarily looking for someone with the “perfect” career or a polished presentation. There will be laughter, connection and maybe even tears. What matters most is authentic energy, relatable experiences, and a willingness to share openly.

We’re drawn to speakers who bring good vibes, insight, and a genuine desire to connect. Whether your journey includes starting a business, shifting careers, healing through personal challenges, or discovering what truly lights you up—we welcome voices that reflect the many stages of growth and transformation.

If your story can inspire, spark reflection, or simply help others feel a little more seen and supported—you’re exactly who we want in the spotlight.

Please complete this form and we’ll be in touch soon!
