✨ This International Women’s Day, We’re Switching It Up! ✨ This isn’t your typical Lean In event—this year, we’re celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD) in a fresh and meaningful way. Instead of panels and talks, we’re creating space to slow down, connect, and uplift each other—all while enjoying a feel-good movie classic. Now more than ever, it’s time to come together, to get to know the women in your community, and find ways to support one another. 💜 📅 March 6, 2025 ⏰ 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM 📍 Impact Hub Ottawa (123 Slater St, 6th Floor) 🎟 FREE Event! What to Expect: 🎬 A screening of Legally Blonde—because ambition, resilience, and breaking barriers never go out of style! 💬 Real conversations about how we can support each other beyond IWD. 🛋️ Ultimate cozy vibes—wear your sweats, bring a pillow, and curl up with light snacks. 🥂 BYOB (alcoholic or not!)—sip your favorite drink while you watch. 💡 Learn about Lean In Ottawa, how to get involved and what we can offer the community. 📢 Spots are limited—RSVP now!

As Black Friday and holiday sales roll in, let’s take a moment to reflect on the money habits we’re working to improve 💪—especially those tricky “girl math” beliefs that might feel good but aren’t helping our finances. What’s one “girl math” habit you’re challenging this month? 🤔 Share your experiences in the comments, or let us know how you’re adopting a healthier money mindset. #finance #girlmath #ottawa #leaninottawa
