THE GATHERING: La Jolla

Saturday, November 14, 2026

12:00PM-2:30pm

La Jolla, California

Our exact location will be shared with registered guests once the final headcount is confirmed

Imagine a beautiful afternoon in La Jolla, gathered around a table with women who just get it.

A little time away from the responsibilities and emotional complexities of stepmom life to connect, share our stories, ask the burning questions, laugh, and enjoy pouring into ourselves for a change.

An intimate, thoughtfully hosted luncheon where you can come exactly as you are, and leave feeling a little less alone.

One of the hardest parts of stepmom life can be feeling like you're the outsider. The Gathering is a chance to step into a room where you don't have to explain the role before you can talk about it — this is a table where you belong. 

Only a few seats remain.

Coming alone? Please do. Most of us won't know each other when we arrive, and creating genuine new connections is the whole point.

Your seat includes:

  • An intimate lunch (with coffee of course!) shared with fellow stepmoms
  • Personal time with Jen, and an opportunity to share what's on your heart, ask questions, and receive thoughtful perspective and guidance.
  • Practical reflections and perspective you can take back into your own life
  • Space to be listen, laugh, exhale, be fully yourself, and feel less alone

A little space before the holiday chaos

The holidays can bring out some of the hardest parts of stepmom life: changing schedules, complicated traditions, demanding expectations, and that familiar feeling of not knowing where you fit.

The Gathering is a chance to step away from all of that for a few hours. Come as you are, and leave feeling a little lighter and more joyful heading into the season.
