Business Breakfasts Melbourne

Brunch Club: New Friends Edition

Meet new people over good food, easy conversation, and a relaxed weekend brunch. This event is designed for anyone who wants to make new friends in a warm, low-pressure setting. Instead of a loud or overwhelming social event, we’ll keep things simple: a small group, a welcoming table, and friendly conversations that help everyone feel included. You can come alone — most people will. We’ll use a few light BeSocial prompts to make introductions easier and help conversations move beyond the usual “what do you do?” small talk. Whether you’re new to the area, rebuilding your social circle, or just looking for more genuine connection in your week, this is a simple and enjoyable way to meet people who are also open to friendship. The goal is to leave feeling like you shared a good meal, had real conversations, and maybe found someone you’d like to catch up with again. **Perfect for:** brunch lovers, first-time attendees, people new to the area, young professionals, and anyone wanting an easy weekend way to meet new friends. To help you get the most out of the event, we ask that you download our app before you arrive (or upon arrival). The app will be used throughout the event for prompts, activities, and other interactive content so having it ready will ensure you can fully participate. https://apps.apple.com/au/app/besocial/id6759604739 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appetiser.besocial&hl=en **Event photography and videography may take place at this event.

Women in Business Networking Lunch

# Melbourne Women in Business Launch Hosted by Paulina Xerri (BAMM Coach) and Kathy Uhlik (Lumina) ### The Confidence Gap Keeping Smart Women Playing Small You're invited to the official launch of the Melbourne Women in Business Network. If you've ever found yourself questioning your abilities, holding back from opportunities, overthinking your next move, or waiting until you feel "ready" before taking action, you're not alone. The truth is that most smart, capable women aren't held back by a lack of talent, knowledge, or ambition. They're held back by a confidence gap. A gap between who they are today and the version of themselves who confidently speaks up, takes action, backs themselves, and creates the success they truly want. Join us for an inspiring lunch designed to bring together ambitious women who are ready to grow their businesses, expand their networks, and have meaningful conversations about leadership, confidence, visibility, and personal growth. During this event you'll: ✨ Connect with like-minded women in business ✨ Build genuine relationships and new opportunities ✨ Learn why confidence is often the missing piece behind business growth ✨ Discover practical strategies to stop second-guessing yourself and start taking bold action ✨ Leave feeling inspired, empowered, and clear on your next step Whether you're a business owner, entrepreneur, coach, consultant, freelancer, or professional woman with big goals, this event is designed to help you step out of your own way and into your next level. This is more than a networking lunch. It's the beginning of a community where ambitious women support one another, share opportunities, and grow together. Come as you are. Leave with new connections, fresh perspectives, and the confidence to play bigger. Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today. Venue TBC based on numbers but it will be in Melbourne's CBD.

Taste of Freyja Menu

It’s been a few years since the last Freyja dinner in this group so it’s time to revisit this spot! Freyja is a fine dining venue focused on food sustainability and exploring the flavours of ingredients in their purest, most natural form. The Freyja team source products locally and even forage some items in the wild to bring transformative flavours to the plate. They explore techniques like fermentation and subscribe to a minimal waste philosophy for a kinder impact on the environment, while bringing us innovative, mouth-watering dishes. Check out more on Freyja’s five course ‘Taste of Freyja’ menu here: https://freyjarestaurant.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Taste-of-Freyja-May-2026.pdf I have booked for 6 Fine Diners to enjoy a Taste of Freyja at $139 per person for dinner from 6.30pm on Thursday 23 July. 

Join the waitlist to express interest. After the first day or so of posting, once I have names in the waitlist, I’ll send you a ‘Meetup Message’ to confirm you have a spot and how to pay. You’ll need to send me $50 to secure your place (equivalent to the cancellation fee - this will be deducted from your bill when we settle up). Once paid I’ll move you from the waitlist to ‘Attending’. As these are small group events, there are often more Fine Diners interested than there are seats available. My approach to hosting an event is to share seats around amongst members of the group in as fair a manner as I can, including mixing Fine Diners regulars with newcomers. Please be respectful if there are events when you miss out on a spot. I will always message you so you know if you have secured a seat or are still waitlisted in case a seat opens up. Please check that you don’t have your settings blocking messages; if I can’t contact you, I’ll have to move on to the next person. Also if you don’t respond to my message offering you a spot within 3 days, I’ll let you know that I’m offering the seat to another person on the waitlist. 

I look forward to dining with you at Freyja.
