Girls’ Night Out is not just an event: it’s a sacred ritual, a beacon of camaraderie in the chaos of everyday life. Missing a girls’ night out is like missing a slice of the universe’s finest cheesecake – you just don’t do it.  It’s a chance to recharge, rejuvenate, and remind ourselves that it isn’t just about deadlines and to-do lists. It’s about the bonds we forge, the secrets we share, and the memories we create in the midst of it all. 

Lotus Network’s Connector Event is our version of a Girls’ Night Out. It is our way of providing friends, sisters, neighbors, and coworkers a chance to shed the burdens of responsibility and indulge in undisputed fun. Picture this: A presenter tackling the heavy subject of “shame” with all the comedic flair of a seasoned stand-up comedian.  The audience sits in anticipation and soon finds themselves relishing the moment and the sheer wit and charm of the presenter.

We encourage you to click this link to register for our Connector Event on May 7th.  Sarah Lajuenesse, our incomparable keynote, will uncover the topic of shame and people-pleasing. She will magically transform this weighty burden into a shared experience, ripe for exploration and surprisingly, laughter. We promise it is sure to be a testament to the power of camaraderie – to turn even the darkest of subjects into moments of connection and enlightenment. 

While there may not be any dancing, there will undoubtedly be plenty of moments that leave attendees laughing out loud and grateful for the opportunity to tackle one of life’s heavy subjects in the company of supportive girlfriends. 

Apart from listening to our fantastic speaker, we will also celebrate our remarkable Lotus Ladies. Each of these women has shown great courage and grace in sharing their personal stories with us, leaving a lasting impression and inspiring us all. It is our goal and mission to shine a light on the extraordinary life journeys of these women every month.


Don’t let your obligations rob you of attending Lotus Network’s Girl’s Night Out.  Embrace the opportunity to let your hair down, swap stories, and make meaningful connections. Remember our mantra “It’s Never Too Late.” 

See you on the 7th!
