Hey, I'm Melissa!

Female entrepreneurs deserve a smarter, more authentic way to grow and scale their businesses—that’s why I created the Powerful Women Rising Community.

While building three successful businesses, I tried it all: overpriced “masterminds, courses, coaches, you name it…and none of them were the “secret to success” I was promised. Now I know that the simplest, most sustainable path to business growth is building genuine relationships. Networking, when done right, will transform your business, and I wanted to help women focus on that.

But lets be real. Networking can SUCK. I’ve been to events where it’s every woman for herself and others where it felt like just mentioning your business made you a salesy werido . Neither worked for me, so I created a space that strikes the perfect balance: meaningful connections and intentional business growth.

The Powerful Women Rising Community is the perfect mix of networking, masterminds, strategy and mindset to help you build connections, grow your business, and yes – HAVE FUN DOING IT!

"I've been a part of the Powerful Women Rising group for several months now and would love to recommend this group to any woman who is looking to network 'Differently'."

I’ve been a part of the Powerful Women Rising group for several months now and would love to recommend this group to any woman who is looking to network ‘Differently’. I’ve been able to connect with so many women in smaller groups, which makes my attention stay focused. Most other virtual networking groups, I find myself wandering or multi-tasking, but this forces me to be present. I also really enjoy the Mastermind and hearing from different perspectives before I make a decision in my business. Thanks Melissa for putting together this group!

DO YOU OFFER A FREE TRIAL MEMBERSHIP?

Maintaining the integrity and close-knit nature of our community is paramount. Our members form deep bonds and are very welcoming to newcomers, but a constant in-and-out of trial members could disrupt the trusted environment we’ve built. Instead of a free trial, I encourage you to join one of our Virtual Speed Networking events, held every second Thursday of the month from 11 AM to 12 PM MT. These sessions are a fantastic way for you to experience our style firsthand, meet many of our current members, and determine if our community feels like the right fit for you.

WHEN ARE THE EVENTS EACH MONTH?

With the Basic Membership, you will be able to attend:

2 Networking Calls

(Second Tuesday from 11-12 and Fourth Thursday from 12-1 )

2 Mastermind Calls

IS THERE ANYONE WHO SHOULDN’T JOIN THE POWERFUL WOMEN RISING COMMUNITY?

The Powerful Women Rising Community is open to all women, women-identifying, and AFAB non-binary people. Regardless of your age, level of experience, or location — you’ll find a place in this community.

That said, if you’re looking for a quick fix or a cookie cutter plan to follow, you’re going to be disappointed. Likewise, if you’re not into authentic, meaningful connections, this isn’t your jam. We’re in the business of fostering real relationships that lead to real results. So, if you’re not willing to show up, be yourself, provide value, stay open to feedback, and put in the work, then this community probably isn’t the best fit for you.

WHICH MEMBERSHIP SHOULD I GET?

If you’re looking to build a strong foundation for your business and start forming meaningful connections, Basic Membership is a great first step. It give you access to networking and mastermind calls, the Facebook group, and free Virtual Speed Networking events. It’s an excellent way to experience the community, build connections and gain the tools to grow your business at your own pace.

Rock Star Membership is for women entrepreneurs who are ready to take things to the next level. If you’re ready to fully commit to accelerating your business growth and building deeper relationships, this membership offers exclusive benefits like advanced mastermind calls, personalized support, and more opportunities to showcase your business. It’s a tight-knit group of driven, growth-focused entrepreneurs who show up for themselves and each other, consistently pushing for growth and success. If you’re looking to fast-track your business growth, deepen your connections, and be part of a group that supports rapid progress, Rock Star Membership is the ultimate upgrade.
