A new year always brings a sense of possibility — a quiet invitation to pause, reflect, and choose how we want to move forward.
At Pittsburgh Professional Women, January isn’t about rushing into resolutions or piling more onto already full lives. It’s about clarity, confidence, connection, and community — finishing one chapter thoughtfully and beginning the next with intention.
If you’re looking for meaningful ways to start 2026 grounded, supported, and inspired, these four January events are not to be missed.
Looking Back. Planning Forward.
How to Close 2025 and Step into 2026 Strong
Friday, January 2, 20261:00–2:00 PM EST | Virtual✨ Free | Presented by Beth Caldwell
As the year comes to a close, it’s tempting to jump straight into planning — without fully finishing what’s behind us.
This fun, festive Friday pop-up masterclass offers practical tools to:
Tie up loose ends from 2025
Reflect on what truly mattered
Step into 2026 with intention instead of pressure
If you want to feel clear, complete, and grounded as you enter the new year, this conversation is for you.

4. THRIVE: A Six-Week Reset for Women Facing Divorce
with Lori Heller
Program begins January 7, 2026
This time of year can be especially difficult for women facing — or recovering from — divorce. Many carry this season quietly, feeling overwhelmed and alone.
Lori Heller’s THRIVE program offers practical, compassionate support for women navigating divorce and its aftermath. This series is not about legal strategy or pushing anyone to “move on.”
It’s about steady, sensible support for women who want to:
Calm anxiety and emotional overload
Make clearer decisions without constant second-guessing
Rebuild routines, confidence, and stability
Feel less alone during a deeply isolating season
