Thursday, Jun 4, 2026 at 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM CDT

BBB Austin Headquarters, 1805 Rutherford Lane, Austin, Texas, 78754, United States.

You're building something real — don't let burnout take you out.

Cost: $65

On June 4, She Means Business presents Burnout-Proof Leadership, a real conversation for the women shaping the future of work in Central Texas. The solopreneur building something from scratch. The founder scaling fast. The corporate executive leading thousands. Different titles, same exhaustion, same hunger for something more honest.

Keynote speaker Jessica Lovell of Raevolution Speaking opens the morning with The Endurance Trap: Why Holding It All Together Is Holding You Back. Then beloved Austin force Dr. Colette Pierce Burnette of Waterloo Greenway Conservancy joins us for a fireside chat and moderates an expert panel featuring Ellen Lindsey, LCSW of 360 Coaching, Dr. Barbara Breier of Vistage Austin, Kathy Kuras of YMCA of Austin, and Alison Walgren of Deloitte.

This is the room where authenticity replaces performance. Where the women you have only watched from afar become the women you sit beside. Where the connections you build in June carry you through the rest of the year, and the year after that.

She Means Business is more than an event. It is a year-round community of women who lead with substance, support each other out loud, and refuse to do this alone anymore.

Come as you are. Leave with your people.

This half-day gathering is designed for women entrepreneurs and business leaders who are ready to lead with more energy, clarity, and resilience — without running on empty to get there.

Join us for expert insight, guided conversation, and real connection with women who get it. The room will be full of business leaders who are committed to building businesses that are sustainable, strategic, and built to last.
