Lake Mary September 2022 Meet Up

 Cork & Olive – September 22, 2022

Our Babes, Booze & Business meetup on September 22, 2022, at Cork & Olive in Lake Mary was an unforgettable evening filled with inspiring conversations, valuable insights, and, of course, great company! It was an absolute pleasure to host such a wonderful group of women, entrepreneurs, and professionals who came together to share their experiences and support each other in both business and life.

Special Guest Speaker: Annette Cruz

We were thrilled to welcome our featured speaker for the evening, Annette Cruz, a dynamic real estate agent and an incredible mom of three — one of whom has special needs. Annette’s story resonated deeply with all of us, as she shared how she has built a successful career in real estate while also being a dedicated mother.

Annette spoke passionately about how her work as a real estate agent not only allows her to provide a living for her family but also gives her the flexibility to spend quality time with her children. As a mother, she emphasized the importance of being present, not just physically, but emotionally for her kids. She highlighted how being in control of her schedule through her real estate career allows her to prioritize her family’s needs while pursuing her professional goals.

Her personal story is a testament to the power of finding a career that aligns with your life’s values — and that you can have it all: a fulfilling business, meaningful work, and time for what matters most.

Networking & Community Building

After Annette’s inspiring talk, the evening continued with some fantastic networking opportunities over drinks and delicious bites from Cork & Olive. Attendees had the chance to connect, share ideas, and even make new business connections. It's always amazing to see how supportive and encouraging this community of women truly is.

From budding entrepreneurs to seasoned professionals, everyone left the event feeling empowered and motivated, knowing that they are part of a larger community that understands the challenges and joys of balancing business and personal life.

A Toast to Motherhood & Success

The vibe was warm and inviting, with everyone raising their glasses to the women who juggle it all — the hustle of business, the love of motherhood, and everything in between. Annette’s story was a reminder that no dream is too big, and no goal is out of reach when you have the determination and the right support system.
