Subject: 2025 in Review: Thank You for Riding the Waves with Us! ❤️

#atthegrove

As the year starts to wind down, let's look back at 2025 and celebrate!

Arch+Design Imaging 🎉

We started out the year by announcing the first every Arch+Design Imaging virtual conference, and what an event it was! We welcomed incredible headliners Ema Peter and Douglas Friedman, who spent time with us having long chats and answering all sorts of questions ❤️

The rest of our lineup was also stellar, delivering so much value on topics like AI, the UK market, copyright, the India market, the Latina American market, motherhood, and tethering, and SEO for photographers.

We'll be coming back for ADI26, so keep an eye on these newsletters to hear that announcement soon after the new year!

Webinars galore

We had 5 incredible webinars this year, welcoming a guest speaker for each one and learning ways to expand our business with each one!

We did intentionally pause webinars for the second half of the year, but they are coming back each month in 2026! We've got some amazing topics and guests lined up, so stay tuned and join us live!

We hit 'Pause'

I shared my personal journey with my returning cancer diagnosis this year and the struggle with burnout that stopped me in my tracks. I'm always going to be open and authentic with you, and these bumps in my journey prompted all of our offerings to be paused.

Thankfully, my health is on a great track and the burnout is well on its way out!

Life lessons were learned,

priorities were shifted,

and 2026 will bring a new focus and energy to The Grove.

In other words - get ready for a memorable year!

Board of Advisors = expanding the voice and power of The Grove

This Fall, 6 talented and brilliant women joined together to create The Grove's Board of Advisors. What does this mean for you? The Grove will now be a reflection of more voices of women in this industry. We are a reflection of you - now more than ever.

We shook things up at PMRE

For the past 5 years, we've hosted the Ladies' Luncheon at PMRE.

This year, though, the luncheon was very different.

So different, in fact, that I was nervous about how it would be received.

What ended up happening was a transformative, bonding, and absolutely beautiful conversation amongst 30 women in a safe space.

We spoke about mental health,

handling family illness and deaths,

finding love after divorce,

setting boundaries,

finding a therapist,

and finding our creativity once again.

This was a true testament to the safe space that can be created with some intention and genuine connection.

Expect thoughtful and vulnerable conversations to be a part of our community a lot more moving forward, both in our membership space as well as in the webinars and all events offered.
