Welcome to Our Tribe
Aligned Women in Business – Te Aroha is a relaxed, community-led breakfast group created to support and connect local women in business in a way that feels genuine, welcoming and pressure-free.
This group exists because many women want connection and support around business — without formal networking, pitching or hustle culture. It’s a space where women can show up as they are, share ideas, talk things through and feel supported by others who understand the journey.
We meet regularly over breakfast at a local café, creating space for meaningful conversation, shared insight and real connection. There is no fee to join the group — each person simply covers their own breakfast or coffee.
Who the Group Is For
Aligned Women in Business – Te Aroha is for women who are:
running their own business
freelancing or contracting
building a side-hustle
leading a small team
or exploring a future business idea
You don’t need to be at a certain stage, have everything figured out, or identify as a “networker”. Curiosity, openness and a desire for connection are more than enough.
What to Expect
Our gatherings are intentionally simple and relaxed. While each meet-up flows naturally, they often include:
a warm welcome and introductions
shared conversation around business, wellbeing and growth
celebrating wins and learning from challenges
open discussion and resource sharing
leaving with a sense of clarity, connection and encouragement
There’s no pressure to promote, no sales pitches and no expectations — just supportive conversation and community.
Our Values
Supportive breakfasts where women connect, share, and grow together.
Values
At the heart of Aligned Women in Business – Te Aroha are a few guiding principles:
