About us
At She Goes High, we support the human behind the business, not the human as a business.
We want to know who you are... not just what you do. Ditch the elevator pitch and join our community of women and non-binary leaders!
She Goes High is not your average networking group. We're not even really a networking group.
What makes us different?
We're a community of women and non-binary humans empowering, educating, and encouraging each other as we grow in life and business.
Women and non-binary people are excellent leaders and cycle-breakers- yet, despite how far we've come, there still aren't nearly as many women and non-binary people represented in leadership roles, and finding success in business compared to cis men. To shift this dynamic, it is our belief that we need to be advocates for each other, first and foremost.
That's where we come in. At She Goes High, we don't focus solely on either our personal or professional lives. We've created a community that helps women rise together, in all areas of life, so that we may gain confidence, step into greater leadership roles, take up more space in the world, and make an impact in our communities.
With local groups and events around Northern Colorado, She Goes High is empowering women and non-binary people in Fort Collins and beyond!
- Building relationships, not transactions
We believe building community is the best way to build ourselves. Ditch the elevator pitch and join a community of humans who care about who you are, not just what you do.
- Accessibility for all women and non-binary folx
We're all in different phases of business and career, and it's important to us to offer support for people in all walks of life. Our regular monthly lunch and learn events are always free! For those wanting more of what this community has to offer, our Impact Membership is for you!
- Encouragement to show up just as you are
Authenticity is a beautiful thing. At She Goes High, we invite you to show up just as you are - no need to fake a smile or "put on your game face!" We know you are enough, just as you are- masking not required.
- Business, career, and personal development
At our free monthly events, our presenters cover a wide range of topics, from marketing to mental health and beyond - because taking care of business also means taking care of ourselves! We support the human behind the business, not the human as a business.
- Created by introverts, for introverts
Not into the schmoozy stuff? Neither are we! That's why we focus on creating a safe and welcoming space for introverts ( because let's face it - the extroverts will show up anyway)!
- Neurodiversity is welcome here!
Most of our leadership team and many of our members are neurodivergent. Our events are designed to be accessible and enjoyable for neurospicy and neurotypical folx.
- Queer safe space
We're queer founded and operated, and our space is safe for LBTQIA+. We're here to welcome and celebrate YOU, just as you are! (Yay!)

ABOUT OUR PRESENTATION:
We’re told to master five steps, move through milestones, and muscle through to the other side. What if we don’t have to arrive buttoned up and whole?

ABOUT OUR PRESENTATION:
This interactive session is for the business owner who has mastered holding it all together yet quietly feels the cost of never putting anything down.
This is not a conversation about rest. It is a practice. Participants will be guided into real-time breathwork, creating space to notice what shifts when the body is no longer bracing. Together, we will explore how emotional holding patterns live in the body, how they shape decision-making and daily rhythms, and how to gently interrupt them in the moment.
This session offers more than awareness. It offers a felt experience of what becomes possible when you allow yourself to exhale.
ABOUT OUR PRESENTER:
Meisha Pon, MBA is an operations leader with more than a decade of experience in human-centered leadership. She is the founder of MyCircle, a brand dedicated to helping women stop arguing with their own exhaustion and start trusting what their body has been trying to say.
Her work invites women to release the quiet performance of holding it all together, to lay down the mental gymnastics, and choose themselves without guilt. Because exhaustion is not a badge of honor.
She knows this intimately and now holds space for women to deconstruct the beliefs that have kept them bracing, overgiving, and disconnected from themselves, so they can return home to who they are.
