Speakers:
Wendy Francis – White Birch Wellness

My approach to wellness coaching is deeply rooted in authenticity and empowerment. I firmly believe that true transformation comes from within, and my role is not to dictate solutions but to guide individuals on their own journey of self-discovery and growth.
Throughout my adult life, I’ve witnessed the profound impact that lifestyle choices can have on one’s overall well-being. That’s why I’m passionate about helping individuals make sustainable changes that resonate with their unique needs and aspirations.
My coaching philosophy revolves around fostering a nurturing environment where individuals feel supported, empowered, and inspired to unlock their full potential. It’s not about me telling you what to do; it’s about empowering you to tap into your innate strengths and wisdom.
Diane Bly
My philosophy is grounded in the understanding that health is not merely the absence of disease but a harmonious balance of mind, body, and spirit. It’s about making informed, sustainable lifestyle changes, not seeking quick fixes. Before I turned my focus to health coaching, my journey in healthcare spanned over 25 years, touching lives at their most vulnerable—from the joy of birth to the challenges of severe health conditions. These experiences have taught me that while the path to health is universal, the journey is deeply personal.
Simple changes leads to monumental impacts. I’ve witnessed firsthand how the power of nutrition, mindset, movement, wellness, and connection can transform lives. Yet, I know that in the hustle of career and family life, prioritizing health can feel like a monumental task. That’s where I step in.

Register now to secure your spot at this eye-opening event and take the first step towards a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle!
Spaces are limited, so act quickly to avoid missing out. We look forward to seeing you there!

2025-01-08 17:30 - 20:30 | Rizotto Italian Restaurant, 930 Maple Rd., Williamsville, NY, 14221, United States
Nancy Rizzo
2025: Choices vs. The “R” Word – Use This Tool To Insure Success

Description: Why do we make OUR choices based on everyone else’s needs, and then “should, have-to, force” and “grapple” our way through it? Why is the outcome then “not good enough?” Why do we land in negativity – like resentment, overwhelm and the “G” word? What if you could “measure” your choices so they insure executing from your “superpowers:” clarity, resourcefulness, positivity, alignment, etc., and you land in joy? You will walk away with this Life Tool From Your Toolbelt that measures your choices and even brainstorms to create them when you’re too overwhelmed to decide! And what if you could “Tell your brain what to do in stead of your brain tells you what to do” (Life Tool) by learning the Neurochemistry of Words that trigger feel good or feel bad hormones?!? What if I told you You Are Worthy & Deserving to live and work on The Joy Road, and landing on The Depletion Road is to be immediately navigated off! Okay! Too many questions and quotations. Let’s get to the answers. See y’all there.
Bio: Nancy Rizzo is a Certified Life Coach, Certified Conversational Intelligence® Coach and Licensed New Life Story Wellness™ Coach with trademarked systems that have created life-changing results for her clients over the past 16 years. They answer the important question “How?” How do we successfully navigate and overcome personal and professional challenges before they sideline or anchor us for way too long? And how do we stay positive through that process? We may feel like we know “the How” intellectually, but are we actually successfully executing it; or are we ineffectively grappling through it? Nancy teaches: “You are here for a purpose, and you are meant to be happy!” Mindset Navigation™ keeps us on The Joy Road and off The Depletion Road!
She is known as a mindset expert, positivity guru, and “your keep it simple coach.” She will lead you to more transformation using less information with her ABC Statement, Life Tools From Your Toolbelt, and Words to create your world, from her Mindset Navigation™ System. Nancy presents very compelling workshops – such as Pioneering The Pandemic, and Master Your Mindset Series to name a few – based on proven neuroscience that – it is consistently making mindful choices that rewires the brain and finally creates lasting change. Your brain hormones that produce calm or stress will either support or impede these efforts. Bottom line is that you need this dynamic duo of mindset & chemistry working in unison! Now, from clarity, resourcefulness, optimism, trust, and more, you can effectively and productively execute sustaining personal and professional change, make best choices, and reach aspirations – and do it from a place of JOY! That’s where you are worthy and deserving to be!
Lesley Martin
Beyond Resolutions: How Neuroscience and Coaching Create Lasting Change

Description: Each new year brings the promise of transformation, yet many women find themselves falling short of their goals by February. Why is creating sustainable change so challenging? In this talk, we’ll explore the neuroscience behind resistance to change, uncover how unconscious beliefs and misplaced motivations sabotage progress, and introduce practical coaching tools to help you break the cycle. Learn how to work with your brain, release limiting beliefs, and discover your personal “why” to make 2025 the year of lasting transformation.

April Monthly Dinner Meeting - Growing Your Revenue While Increasing Your Well-Being
2025-04-09 17:30 - 20:00 | Rizotto Italian Restaurant, 930 Maple Rd., Williamsville, NY, 14221, United States
As women business owners, we often push ourselves to the limit—scaling our businesses, managing teams, serving clients, taking care of our families and home—while neglecting the most important asset we have — ourselves. But what if you could grow your revenue without burnout? What if success didn’t have to come at the cost of your well-being?
In this empowering session, I will share:
· Mindset Shifts: How to break free from limiting beliefs and step into aligned success
· Business Strategies: Practical ways to increase revenue through inspired action
· Well-Being as a Business Strategy: How prioritizing self-care leads to higher energy, clearer decisions, and greater profitability
· The Power of Boundaries & Delegation: How to set up a business and home life that run more efficiently—so you can work less and earn more
· Guided Visualization: A visualization to become more confident while growing business profits and improving health
As a woman-owned business leader who has built a multi-million-dollar business, I understand the challenges of balancing growth with well-being. While I am still learning lessons in self-care myself, I know firsthand that thriving in business and life requires a new approach. I am deeply passionate about helping women-owned businesses thrive, increase revenues, and to help women step into their fullest potential without sacrificing their health or happiness.
Meet our guest speaker: Paige Mecca
Transformational Consultant | Motivational Speaker | Business Leader
Paige is a passionate entrepreneur, attorney, and transformational leader with a mission to empower women business owners to create extraordinary success in every area of their life. With a law degree, a Master’s degree in Social Work, life coach certification, and executive leadership certifications from Harvard University, she blends strategy, mindset, and resilience to help women scale thriving businesses while maintaining balance and fulfillment.
As the founder and president of a multi-million dollar solar energy company, Paige shattered barriers in the male-dominated fields of construction and renewable energy. She was one of the first women to own a solar company in New York State. Her impact extends globally as the founder and executive director of a nonprofit that provides off-grid solar solutions to health clinics and schools in remote areas of developing nations. She spearheaded projects providing solar power in Haiti and Tanzania mobilizing her company’s team to complete the projects on-site.
Her entrepreneurial journey is marked by resilience and reinvention. While leading her company, Paige faced the greatest challenge of her life—recovering from a traumatic brain injury. This experience deepened her belief in the power of intentional living, heart and brain coherence, and inspired action. She learned first-hand that a calm, centered mind is the foundation for creative problem-solving and increased revenue.
Paige inspires women entrepreneurs to step into their full potential, scale their businesses fearlessly, and create a life beyond their wildest dreams. She teaches that adversity can be alchemized into success, that business growth and well-being are not mutually exclusive, and that every woman has the power to design a life and business that she absolutely loves.
Paige is available for keynotes, workshops, and transformational coaching to help women unlock their highest potential in business and life.
