There is enough room at this table for all of us.
It started with ten women around one breakfast table. Now the room fills every month with founders, councillors, lawyers and makers who show up for each other, and leave with more than they came with.

We built this because Zoom was not enough.
In person changes everything. You cannot replicate a real room on a screen.
In 2024, women who had spent years building businesses behind screens decided it was time to get back into a real room. Real coffee. Real conversation.
It started as ten women at a breakfast café in Langley. The digital world had made it easier to broadcast, but harder to belong.
Female Forward was built to fix that. Built on a philosophy that makes this room different from every other in the Tri-Cities.
I spoke to this group recently and did not expect what happened. Near the end, while sharing a story about my mom, I choked up. And nobody flinched, they just held it with me.
Meghan Simington has created something that women entrepreneurs actually need: a place where showing up for yourself and showing up for others happen at the same time.
If you are a woman in business looking for your people, she has already gathered them.

What makes this room genuinely different.
Intentional seating. Real connection. Every month.
In Person. Every Time.
Founded to get women out from behind screens. Monthly breakfasts, intentional seating, and a twice-monthly Growth Circle. Because that is where real relationships happen.
Business & Emotional Intelligence.
We bridge the gap between professional development, emotional intelligence, and insights that build you up in every room and beyond it.
Zero Hierarchy. Real Calibre.
Founders, community builders, city councillors, and fitness coaches. Everyone has a seat at this table.
Collaboration Is What We Are Built On.
When women lift each other while they climb, everyone rises further. That is not a tagline. It is the room.
No Category Rules. No Referral Quotas.
No performance pressure, no one-per-category restrictions, no weekly attendance requirements. Show up as you are.
Speakers With Something Real To Say.
Past topics: Marketing Strategy, Social Media Insights, Self-leadership, EQ and Burnout, Creativity, Visibility, and Menopause. No pitches. No filler. All great content.
Real women. Real conversation.
Speaking at Female Forward Collective was a truly meaningful experience. I left with powerful conversations already in motion and a deep sense of gratitude.

The room has changed.
Come see for yourself.
Since July 2024 we have hosted 35 breakfasts and evening events and welcomed 1.4k+ women, with rooms regularly selling out. Women join us from Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows and across Metro Vancouver.
Every stage. Every industry. Every woman who believes the table should be bigger.
The intentional seating invites real conversation. Easy, open, and unexpectedly energizing. I have left each breakfast with connections that feel less like contacts and more like women I am genuinely excited to see again.
