We let a lot of things speak for us.

The flyers, the website, the newsletter, the posts. But some invitations need to come from the person who built the thing, so we’re letting Victoria (@picturethisvic) say it herself. She’s been working on our in-person Wellness Week(end) for five years, and something about this year feels different to her. Not bigger, just settled. Like the event finally matches what she always saw it becoming, and she wants you in the room when it happens. Watch the video, because there’s a moment where she says “we made this just for you” and she means it in a way that doesn’t land the same way in a caption. She’s talking about over 365 days of planning, a team that’s been refining every detail to make sure the room feels safe and the sessions feel intentional, and a founder who wanted you to hear the invitation from her voice instead of from a graphic. She also wants your people there. Your caregiver, your partner, your best friend, your mom, your sister, the person who drives you to your appointments and sits in the waiting room. This isn’t just for women living with MS, lupus, and NMOSD. It’s for the people who love them too. October 30 through November 1, JW Marriott Buckhead in Atlanta. General admission is $200, VIP is $375.
