We are Canberra women.
We all have stories.
We create and embrace opportunities.
We can do a lot alone but we can do so much more together.
Our purpose
We are the place in Canberra for women to connect and support each other to thrive within their local community.
Through connection and collaboration, we can create a future where women experience less isolation and greater opportunities to embrace who they are and what they want from life.
Locally, our goal is to embrace and elevate all Canberra women into a connected force of incredible humans doing what they love!
What we believe
We believe connection is why we’re here. It gives purpose and meaning to our lives and allows us to be our authentic true selves, to grow and to discover and embrace what we are capable of.
We believe women need connection with other women, and that together we can grow stronger and elevate our standing within the Canberra community.
We believe businesses can share more success by working together and leveraging shared networks.
We believe in the power of community to create positive change and enable greater success for everyone.
Our Impact
At our heart, we’re about connection, collaboration and community. In living these values, we create opportunities to give back to our own community, and all the women and businesses within it.
Meet the woman behind theCBRwoman
Hi, I’m Gabrielle (she/her) – Founder of theCBRwoman, business woman for over 10 years, breast cancer fighter, mental health advocate, single mum of two and lover of all things women, champagne, cheese, sport, rap music and dancing.
Like you, I’m a woman who dreams big. My purpose in life is about elevating and supporting women in whatever ways I can.
So, building a community to elevate women in Canberra was a no-brainer.
theCBRwoman began as a place specifically for women in business…
…yet it’s naturally grown and evolved to include women who aren’t in business, but who want to connect with other like-minded women and form meaningful connections, locally.
In fact the resounding #1 shared hope from our incredible members is just that…
…to create connections with other like-minded women, be inspired, feel empowered, and have an opportunity to empower others.
Whether that’s through a supportive phone call, catching up over a coffee or lunch to help you get unstuck or find direction and accountability, or through co-creating our community events and workshops, it’s the sharing of experiences and learning together that fuels my passion!
Hear from our members
We need this connection and community more than ever, in our personal lives, businesses and collectively. theCBRwoman supports and uplifts women and provides the opportunity to meet new and inspiring women along the way.
I joined theCBRwoman because I love it’s purpose and vision for women led businesses. As proud as I am of my business, sometimes trying to do it all can be relentless. Being able to reach into a community that understands, is supportive and filled with knowledge is something that’s priceless in getting us through the tough times and pushing us forward to achieving our goals.
