I hope you’re all doing well as we transition from the warm summer months into the colorful and cozy days of October. It’s time for another update from Conscious Business Connections (CBC).
As some of you may recall, CBC took a brief break in June and July to enjoy the summer, and during that time, exciting changes were happening. I’m thrilled to share that I have embarked on a new career journey as a Client Relationship Manager at Winged Keel Group, a renowned life insurance firm serving the ultra-affluent in the country. This new chapter promises fresh opportunities and growth for me, and I can’t wait to bring that energy to CBC.
Before we dive into our exciting October events, let’s take a moment to reflect on where CBC has been in the past couple of months:
– Virtual Workshop with Becky Clabaugh (August 9th): In August, CBC members had the privilege of attending a transformative workshop featuring Becky Clabaugh, a certified life coach, money mindset expert, and business mentor. Becky guided us through “The Money Magnet Method,” helping participants uncover and release hidden money agendas that may have been holding them back from abundance.
Becky used a tapping exercise to help participants break free from subconscious thoughts and behaviors related to money, known as “Bugaboos.” Members took Becky’s Quiz prior to the event to discover their specific Bugaboo, gaining valuable insights.
– DEI Institute Annual Conference (August 16th): CBC proudly supported Maria Putnam, founder of the DEI Leadership Institute, for her Annual Conference on August 16th. Members had the opportunity to attend this insightful event and enjoyed a discount on registration. The conference featured Michael Benitez, VP of Diversity & Inclusion at MSU Denver, as a nationally acclaimed speaker. It was a fantastic experience to expand our knowledge and network with others passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion.
– Evergreen Awake Festival (September 15-17th): In September, we proudly supported the 3rd annual Evergreen Awake Festival, presented by Skylight Psychedelics. This wellness gathering offered a weekend of restoration, rejuvenation, and connection. With 50+ yoga and wellness talks, live music, conscious dance, and more, it was a celebration of holistic health, nature, and positive vibes. CBC members enjoy an exclusive discount on Awake Festival events.
– Denver Startup Week (September 18-21st): Kristin and CBC made its presence felt at Denver Startup Week, making many new connections! In addition, CBC member Stephen Jaye hosted a dynamic panel on ‘Having a Healthy Relationship with Technology,’ including our friend Ariel Naftali. This insightful discussion explored how to maintain balance in our increasingly digital lives. It was a valuable contribution to the vibrant entrepreneurial community during the event.
Join Us in October
Now that we’ve revisited our recent adventures, we’re excited to invite you to our October events and activities. It’s an excellent opportunity to continue our journey of growth and learning together.
Now, let’s dive into what’s happening at CBC in October:
CBC Members Meeting

Our member meetings continue this month with our next meeting on Thursday, October 5th. We’re thrilled to have attorney Stephanie Freeman as our guest presenter. Stephanie will provide an overview of her legal practice and share valuable insights from her expertise.
We encourage all members to invite a guest to this meeting. It’s a fantastic opportunity for your guest to get a feel for all that CBC has to offer and experience our vibrant community firsthand.
Following Stephanie’s presentation, CBC Member & Coach Tara McFarland will lead a round-table discussion on a Conscious Leadership topic, drawing from the book: “The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership: A New Paradigm for Sustainable Success.” These meetings are a great way to connect, learn, and grow together, and Stephanie’s expertise promises to make this a particularly enriching gathering.
After the meeting, we invite you and your guest to join us for a casual lunch at a nearby restaurant. It’s an opportunity to continue the conversation and network in a relaxed setting. We welcome new faces and the chance to expand our community.
