The Roundabout: Free Women's Monthly Business Networking in Saint John NB
Running a business in New Brunswick is lonely. You can't tell your clients you're scared. You can't tell your team you're winging it. You can't tell your family—they wouldn't understand anyway.
So who DO you tell?
The Roundabout is where women business owners in Saint John and the Kennebecasis Valley stop performing and start connecting.
Hey, Wonder Woman, how’s that 47-point
To-Do List treating you today?
Running a business and trying to keep your home life, friendships, and sanity intact can feel like you’re juggling while riding a unicycle—on a tightrope. Sure, you can do it (because you’re amazing), but doesn’t it sometimes feel like you might tip over?
We See You.
We see the late nights, the early mornings, the internal pep talks on repeat: “I can handle this, right? Right…?” We see you wearing 17 different hats—CEO, accountant, marketer, tech support—and, oh yeah, caretaker/chef/housekeeper in your “free time.”
It’s Time to Exhale.
What if you could walk into a room full of other women who get that hustle-heartburn feeling? A place to swap real talk about the actual struggles, discover fresh ideas, and maybe even find a new biz bestie?
Welcome to the Roundabout Monthly Meetup—your soft place to land and springboard to unapologetic success.
This Isn't Your Typical Saint John Networking Event
No Pitch Fest
Leave your elevator speech at home. We're not here to sell each other anything. This is real networking for women entrepreneurs in New Brunswick who are tired of the performance.
No Forced Icebreakers
We're adults. We can introduce ourselves without playing two truths and a lie. Just coffee, conversation, and connection.
No Networking Theater
You don't have to pretend you have it all figured out. Because let's be honest—none of us do. That's why women business owners across the Saint John region keep coming back.
No Business Cards Required
If you connect with someone, you'll find a way. We're not collecting contacts. We're building a community of women entrepreneurs in New Brunswick.
Real Talk: Why Show Up?
Let’s get straight to it—running a business can feel like you’re herding cats. You’re juggling invoices, marketing, social media, family obligations (and hey, sometimes you just wanna catch up on one Netflix show).
But here’s the thing:
- Harmony Over Hustle: We’re not about chasing some elusive “balance.” Think harmony—where your business and life flow together, supporting each other, without you sacrificing your sanity or your passions.
- It’s Okay to Want More: You have big ideas and big goals. And guess what? Chasing them doesn’t have to mean burnout.
- You Don’t Have to Do It Alone: This breakfast is your chance to connect with women who get the grind and the grind-with-grace approach.
Picture This…
Fast-forward a few months from now. You walk into our monthly meet-up feeling relaxed, energized—even excited about the day ahead (shocking, right?). You’re not drowning in busywork, and you’ve found a way to bring more harmony into your days without letting your ambitions fall to the wayside.
Me? I’ve got a personal dream of seeing NB become a hotbed of female entrepreneurs rocking it in every industry. But whether that’s your dream or not, you’re still invited to the table. This group is all about synergy—meeting you where you’re at, hearing your wins and your woes, and helping each other make real strides forward.
No more lone-wolf approach. No more guilt for wanting a thriving business and a life that feels light, fun, and—dare I say it—enjoyable.

First Time at Our Saint John Women's Networking Event?
Most women business owners come alone their first time. You're not walking into an established clique—everyone's figuring it out together.
We usually start with a loose question to get conversation going (like "what's one thing in your business that's working right now?" or "what's driving you nuts this week?"). Then it flows from there.
There's no agenda. Just space for women in business to talk, listen, and realize you're not the only one feeling this way in the Saint John business community.
You can stay the whole time or leave early. You can share a lot or just listen. You can come every month or drop in when you need it.
The only rule: Be real. That's it.
