WHERE INNER ALIGNMENT MEETS OUTER IMPACT IN 2025
IMMERSIVE AFTERNOON DESIGNED TO NOURISH THE WHOLE WOMAN: MIND, BODY, and BUSINESS
The businesses we build, the passions we pursue, and the relationships we nurture are not just responsibilities—they are gateways to our fullest potential. These are the spaces where we pour our energy, not as a sacrifice, but as an intentional investment in the life we are creating. True success is not about balance, but integration—aligning our ambition, well-being, and personal growth in a way that sustains and elevates us.
This experience was an immersive afternoon designed to nourish the whole woman—mind, body, and business. This exclusive Founders Lunch brought together Libby Babet and Grace Henry-Hicks for a powerful fusion of wisdom, wellness, and connection, set in one of Bondi’s most beautiful venues.
We began with a mindfulness and nervous system reset, guided by Grace Henry-Hicks, creating the foundation for clarity, focus, and inner alignment—because a regulated mind and body are essential for sustainable success.
Then, we gathered for an intimate conversation with Libby Babet, where she shared the practices, principles, and strategies that have allowed her to build a thriving empire, while prioritising her health, vitality, and joy. Founders gained insights that every business owner and mother needs in 2025, from optimising energy and well-being to sustaining high-performance leadership without burnout.
This experience was designed for women ready to rise—personally and professionally—without compromising their well-being. Founders left with a practical toolkit for business, self-care, and nervous system regulation, along with the opportunity to receive hot-seat coaching and real-time guidance.
This was more than an event—it was a space to reconnect with yourself, expand your vision, and cultivate the success and fulfillment you deserve.
