The ConnectHERS + Co.

🤝✨ Community is at the heart of what we do. It all started with one conversation, one connection at a time—listening to women share their challenges, their need for safety, and their longing for authentic connection. 💬💖 From those honest exchanges, a movement grew—creating spaces where women could gather, support one another, and tap into their authentic truths. 🌟 Through workshops and shared experiences, we’ve built a community that uplifts, empowers, and reminds us: we’re not alone on this journey. Let’s keep growing together. 💕 #AuthenticConnections #WomenSupportingWomen #CommunityMatters

✨ Connection, community, and holiday cheer—our favorite things this time of year! ❄️ Wishing you and yours a magical season filled with joy! 🎁 Cheers, Mel + Mel #holidaywishes #wecount #connecthers #timmins #northbay #northernontario

🌟 Bridging Generational Gaps in Connection and Communication 🌟 In our We C.O.U.N.T. Talk Show, Jackie Noble-Chow, Owner/Operator of Plan A Timmins, shared her insights on the evolving nature of communication across generations. 💬 Key Takeaway: Jackie highlighted the shift from traditional, in-person connections to faster, digital interactions like texts and emails. While these methods are efficient, they often lack the depth needed to foster strong relationships—a critical component for retention and collaboration. Her advice? Find the balance. Adapt to new tools while preserving the essence of meaningful connections to ensure your message truly lands. 🤝✨ #WeCOUNTTalkShow #GenerationalConnections #MeaningfulCommunication #WomenEntrepreneurs #CommunityBuilding
