As our idol, Leslie Knope would say, it’s “ladies celebrating ladies.”

If we had to choose between Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day, well lets just say we’d choose chicks before di…well you get the idea. Here are five hilarious reasons why you should be celebrating Galentine’s Day with your girl squad.

Reason Number One: No guys (The most important one, obviously).

That’s right, no more wondering if he’s going to text you back, no more worrying about what to wear on a date, and no more listening to your friends complain about their significant others. It’s just you and the girls, drama-free.

Reason Number Two: Wine

Wine, Wine and oh, did I mention Wine? Grab a bottle (or three) of your favorite vino and cheers to the strong, independent women in your life.

Reason Number Three: Gorge on snacks.

Let’s be real, who needs a man when you have a plate of nachos and a bowl of guacamole? Celebrating Galentine’s Day means you can indulge in all the snacks your heart desires without any judgment.

Reason Number Four: Your Squad

These women in your life will love you for who you are. Unlike men, your girl squad will never judge you for eating a whole pizza by yourself or wearing sweatpants all day. They accept you for who you are and that’s what makes them your ride and die.

Reason Number Five: It’s Basically Christmas Pt. 2.

Let’s be real, who doesn’t love getting gifts? Galentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to give and receive gifts. You can give each other your favorite books, a piece of jewelry with a meaningful message, or a gift card to a local boutique.

In conclusion, Galentine’s Day is all about celebrating the strong, independent women in our lives, so gather your gal pals, grab a bottle of wine, indulge in some snacks, and discuss all the reasons we are so much smarter than men (and should be running the world).

Cheers to strong women – may we know them, love them and be them.

New Happy Hour Hustle episode out now! Kim sits down with Meredith Klein, the woman behind the iconic hat and the Substack everyone in comms actually wants to read, meredith.and.the.media. 

Kim and Meredith talk about personal branding, networking without the ick, why “believe it until you achieve it” beats “fake it till you make it,” and what it takes to really own your worth.

Meredith is a communications executive with nearly two decades of experience at some of the biggest names in the game: Walmart, Pinterest, and Jet.com, to name a few. She's the author of Meredith & The Media, a wildly popular Substack on the latest news, moves, and trends in media, featuring exclusive interviews with leading journalists on what's driving their coverage. She’s a PRWeek 40 Under 40 honoree and regular contributor to Inc. She’s the person in the room who actually knows everyone and makes sure everyone else knows each other too. Basically, if comms had a connector-in-chief, it would be her. 

Grab a martini (with extra olives) and get ready for some F-bomb filled wisdom. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and watch the whole episode on Youtube!

The power of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship, in a graduate's own words:

"Growth is never accidental, it comes from being willing to learn, adapt, and embrace change. After nine months of dedication, reflection, and business development, I proudly graduated from the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF) during the Small Business Association of Michigan Annual Meeting.

Throughout the program, I challenged myself to evaluate every aspect of my business, celebrating what was working while identifying opportunities for growth and improvement. The journey was made even more meaningful through the support of an incredible cohort of women entrepreneurs, the guidance of mentor Gina Jacquart Thorsen, and the leadership of bodespeaks and her team.

A sincere thank you to smallbusinessassocofmichigan for investing in second-stage women business owners and creating opportunities that empower entrepreneurs to build stronger, more sustainable businesses."

— Mary A. Barton, President and CEO of Equitable Accounting Solutions and proud WEF graduate.

Applications for the next cohort are now open. Link in comments.

AI doesn't treat every source equally; it trusts what's credible, cited, and current, like news coverage.

Showing up in the right places isn't just good PR. It's how the robots (and the humans) get you right.
