Seasons: How Women Create, Innovate and Lead In Rhythm With Life
A TaleSplash x JADEVA speaker series
To kick off SXSW, we’re gathering a powerful group of women in Austin who don’t just build brands — they shape culture at the intersection of motherhood, women’s health, and modern leadership.
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from and meet like-minded women building brands and running businesses in alignment with the rhythms of family life and personal passions.
We’ll have three panels and a fireside chat, covering topics like:
Growing your brand with magnetism and confidence
Building a scalable business while navigating motherhood
Listening and empathy as leadership advantages
Space is limited and registration is subject to approval, upon which the location will be revealed.
