We started this journey ten years ago with the idea of creating a group focused on celebrating women in business. Our goal was to not only be a networking & direct referral source but also to share our personal stories and paths leading us to the women we are today.
As business owners it is so easy to get caught up in the day to day grind of running a small business and sometimes we forget to look up and appreciate what we have accomplished. We can also feel apprehension and isolation, or not as successful as we should be, or alone in the process.
And that is what MWAW/SWAW is all about. A place to connect, to share, to feel supported, to learn and grow, to build friendships and of course have some fun. Cuz being a small business owner is not easy!
It is our hope that by reading this you will continue to follow us; to support our members and to grow along with us. We hope that you will find connections, stories that resonate and maybe even help heal. 

Much success,
Karen Kilian
