Nourish & Network: PEEL's Annual Women's Health & Wellness Symposium
2024-04-28 12:00 - 15:00 | South Hills Country Club
In today’s whirlwind of health, wellness, mental health, hormones, menopause, food/nutrition, and ever-changing diets, it feels like just when we’ve got a handle on things, the ground shifts beneath us with new developments or personal body changes. It’s all too easy to feel lost, embarrassed, or unsure where to turn for answers, leaving us wrapped in frustration. Sound familiar? If so, this event is crafted with you in mind!
We’ve gathered a panel of compassionate healthcare professionals here to demystify those daunting, awkward, and even embarrassing inquiries. And the best part? You don’t even have to voice your questions out loud. Upon registering, you’ll receive an email with a link to anonymously submit any question, concern, or comment you wish to be addressed during our gathering (within reasonable bounds, of course). These experts are equipped to handle nearly anything thrown their way and are eager to assist.
Ladies, it’s perfectly fine not to have all the answers, and it’s certainly not okay to navigate these waters in solitude. Let’s champion the normalcy of discussing these topics openly. Together, let’s seek solutions, uplift one another, and cultivate a community of support and understanding. This event promises to be a sanctuary of safety, comfort, and a ‘no boys allowed’ policy. So, bring along your best friend, sister, neighbor, or anyone who could use this enlightening experience. Leave our luncheon empowered and ready to face whatever comes your way—be it hormones, menopause, body changes, dietary confusion, or mental health discussions. We’re stronger together. Let’s embark on this journey hand in hand!
MODERATORS: KELLY FROST & NIKI CAMPBELL
PANELISTS: ASHLEY DIMAIO, DR. NANCY MRAMOR, APRIL JACKSON, JAMIE DEMARCO & DR. LAUREN LOYA

Headshot Session-Dominique Murray/Kelly Frost (FROST Executive Services)
2024-03-01 10:00 - 18:00 | Dominique Murray Photography Studio, 74 S 20th Street Floor 2, Pittsburgh,, PA, 15203, United States
Let us help you put your BEST face forward and refresh your headshots and branding! Spots are limited! These always sell out, don’t wait.
Headshots aren’t just for actors or those in the C-Suite. Every professional needs to have a headshot. Here’s why: Always put your best “face” forward, to do that you not only need to be professional, but you need to look professional. In today’s climate, having a great headshot is NOT an advantage, it is expected. Not having a professional headshot detracts from your commitment to your success. A small investment in a headshot tells the world that you are serious about your business and your success…aren’t you? Be a stand out, leave a professional lasting impression, not a cringe when someone sees your profile photos. Sometimes you only get one “shot”, make it a successful one…with a professional headshot.
Even if you have a great professional headshot already, consider how old it is. If it is more than 3 years old, or it no longer looks like you, it is time for a new one. Your headshot is supposed to look LIKE YOU! Your age doesn’t matter, the age of your headshot photo does.

Our February Speaker is Christina Fontana!
“Releasing Self-sabotage to Elevate Your Self-worth in 2024”
About the talk:
When we are holding onto protective self-sabotage patterns, trauma, and unworthiness, we often unconsciously hide our true magnetic essence and it shows up in every area of our lives, including business. As we release and heal the past, we reclaim our power and self-worth, unlocking infinite possibilities for growth, expansion, and abundance.
Get ready for an engaging, interactive talk as Dr. Christina shares her story of turning pain into purpose, while showing you how to reconnect back to and elevate your true essence, self-worth, and confidence this year!

Splatter Me Crazy
2023-10-06 18:00 - 21:00 | The New Hazlett Theatre, 6 Allegheny Square E., Pittsburgh, PA, 15212
Beginning in the fall of 2019, Splatter Me Crazy was brought to life by a group of women looking to support the community through art. They began brainstorming after the Pittsburgh Business Show and the first Splatter Me Crazy was brought to life a few months later at the Flashlight Factory. The evening was full of laughter, art, and most importantly philanthropy. Participants made donations to be given brushes and paint to be able to splatter paint our volunteers. At the end of the evening, Dominique took fine art portraits of the volunteers covered in paint.
Brought back by Dominique Murray Photography for 2023, Splatter Me Crazy is giving back to The Magic Yarn Project, Breast Cancer Research, and Western Pennsylvania Bleeding Disorders Foundation.
Get your tickets at the link below. We hope to see you there!
