Next event: Living the Dream | ‘Pretirement’ Living
May 25, 9-11am, Sammy J. Peppers, Abbotsford

2 moms. 2 businesses. 2 women living by their own unique definition of success.

At any point you can find Diana Stirling and Shannon Ward living and working from a different part of the world.

A few years back they built a business to seven figures and an office full of employees only to learn that this wasn’t going to work with their young families and, more importantly, it wasn’t what they truly wanted.

Now, they enjoy a flexible work environment that allows them to spend quality time with their families and still have challenging careers. They don’t put anything off anymore, especially the stuff you’re supposed to wait until retirement to do!

Now, they’re Pretired.

Their mission is to help working mothers change their current status quo and to redefine success so they are fulfilled in both work and home life.

They hope to inspire women to really LIVE each day and NEVER SETTLE. Join us Wednesday, May 25 from 9-11 am, when Diana and Shannon will take us through the steps of how they did it and how we can to. This is going to be an exciting event!

Enjoy a morning off with other moms over a light breakfast. Come to connect, be inspired, browse our vendor tables, or just relax! Fabulous doorprizes and goody bags round out our morning together. On site childminding is available by pre-registration.

You can find out more about Shannon and Diana and the concept of Pretirement on their website.

Registration is now open for this event! Please note that preregistration is required. You may register here.

Special thanks to our event sponsor!
