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 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!
