### Women's Music Industry Support Group
We're inviting women from all corners of the music industry - business, creative, touring, and PR - for a monthly support group. This is a safe and confidential space where you can share the highs and lows of your journey, be yourself, and connect with others who could become part of your support system. Each month, we’ll focus on a different topic, from jealousy to burnout to motherhood.
To kick off 2025, we'll look at "The Art of Boundaries: Saying 'No' with Confidence and Compassion."
Navigating the music industry often comes with pressure to say "yes" to every opportunity, collaboration, or request. In this session, we’ll dive into setting boundaries to protect your time, energy, and mental health. We’ll explore practical strategies for saying "no" confidently, without guilt, and how to handle pushback or resistance when asserting your limits.
Key Points that will be discussed:
- Understanding what healthy boundaries look like in professional and personal settings.
- Why saying "no" is essential for long-term success and well-being.
- Scripts and strategies for saying "no" assertively yet kindly.
- Handling guilt or fear of disappointing others.
- Recognizing and responding to boundary violations.
Whether you choose to share or simply listen, rest assured that every participant signs a confidentiality agreement, ensuring that what’s said in the room stays in the room.
Free tea and coffee will be available, or BYOB, so you can settle in and make yourself at home.
Our first gathering was such a wonderful time of connection and community and we're excited to round out the year with one more! The discussion will be moderated by Femke Weidema - an award-winning songwriter, producer, and record label owner. Femke also serves on the boards of the Helping Music Foundation and the Recording Academy, and is a passionate advocate for women and mothers in music.
Join us for a cozy evening of sharing and support as we navigate these pressures together.
