Helping Women Who Have Experienced Abuse
Surviving to Thriving Retreat for Women
Our Founder, Michelle Dean, who is also an Author and Speaker will be hosting this retreat to help women of abuse learn more about their strengths and build their confidence. There will be activities to learn about comfort zones and how to face fears which is necessary for growth. Kristy Deys of Deys Coaching will also be helping with the retreat.
This is 2 1/2 days and all costs included. Our goal is to raise enough funds to give grants to 5 ladies to attend.

More About WHOW
WHOW (Women Helping Other Women) was founded in 2015 because of Michelle Dean's passion for inspiring women by offering Ladies Night Out events. We were called Women In Business. Michelle began to receive calls from many women who saw our advertisements and asked if they could join in even if they didn't own a business! In 2016 we became WHOW (a partnership) of 2 local women joined together with a dream of women helping other women.
In 2017 we officially became a Non-Profit.
We believe ALL women have individual strengths and talents. Knowing what those are is the first step in self-discovery. When you know what your strengths are you can build anything. Some women just don't yet know what their strengths are or how to use them. WHOW is a place for both! Those of us who know... help those who don't. (Women Helping Other Women)
We also believe ALL women have fears they must face. If you ever tell yourself, I could never do that, it's time to face that fear because we are here to tell you, YES YOU CAN! We know... because we did!
WHOW is a place for women to inspire and support one another. Many women don't feel safe talking about their struggles with those in their life. Can you relate?
WHOW is a safe place to connect with other like-minded women who want to educate, inspire and support you!
We have 2 Facebook groups:
Faith Fueled Women with Vision - A safe space to connect with other women to share a dream or goal so we can support you. Learn from other women and share your faith with us.
