Durango's In-Person Community for Women Entrepreneurs
Where businesses get built IRL
I built this because I needed it.
I was tired of showing up to networking events and leaving with a stack of business cards I'd never look at again. Rooms full of women going through the motions, but nobody actually invests in each other.
I wanted to be around women who think bigger, lift each other higher, and genuinely show up with "how can I support you?" energy before they ever need anything back.
So I created the room I wished existed. A place where women entrepreneurs build real friendships that turn into referrals, collabs, and businesses that actually feel good to run.
If you're looking for your people, you’re in the right place.
- Kaija Dawn, Founder
A Message From the Founder
For Women Entrepreneurs Who Know Real Relationships Change Everything.
You've been in rooms that felt transactional. The conversations superficial. Where you left wondering, “Was that even worth my time? Am I more than just a dollar sign to people?”
In BBB, you’re so much more than that.
BBB was built for women entrepreneurs in Durango who are DONE doing life and business alone. Who KNOW their success is inevitable and are READY to grow with like-minded women and build relationships that actually move the needle.
Our babes show up for each other first. They refer clients, open doors, and build the kind of trust that most people spend years trying to manufacture.
And the result? Their business booms as a by-product!
Relationships are the foundation on which everything else grows. And when you’re in the right place at the right time with the right women, magic, momentum, and massive impact become the norm.
Who This Is For?
You find your
ride-or-dies.
Your business blows up.
You're bummed you missed out.
The text thread that blows up on a random Thursday. The babe who shows up to your first event just because. The woman who sends you a client because she trusts you THAT much. Yes, she's in here.
Referrals, collabs, opportunities and clients start flowing from the women you're hiking with on Wednesday mornings. Bc that's what happens when you show up as a real you and resonate with YOUR people.
Not because you have to show up. Bc you WANT to. Your besties are here. You get shit done like never before. You feel supported better than you ever have. And BBB events become the best part of your week, Every. Single. Week.
What Makes Babes Before Business Different
BBB is so much more than awkward mixers and elevator pitches. We're real women connecting on deeper levels to do business and life in a way that's not been done before.
What We're Built On
The Standards We Hold Each Other To
Collaboration Over Competition
There are enough clients, opportunities, and dollars to go around for every single woman in this room. The more we operate from that truth, the more it proves itself. We don't compete here. We co-create.
Infinite Over Finite
Scarcity is a story. Abundance is a practice. Inside BBB we operate from the belief that your win is my win, her success creates space for mine, and the rising tide lifts every boat in this harbor. Period.
Follow Through & Integrity
Do what you say you're going to do. Show up how you said you'd show up. Hold yourself to it -- and lovingly hold your babes to it too. Because a community is only as strong as the women inside it, and the women inside BBB? We're the real deal.
Commitment, Relationships & Consistency
Ever bought a gym membership and never went to the gym? Yeah. We're not doing that here. Here's the truth -- networking is handing out business cards you'll never look at again and having surface-level convos that go nowhere.
Your next bestie, team member or client are here. It’s time to come find her!
Business growth starts with connection.
Babes Before Biz is more than a networking group, it's a community of ambitious women who believe in collaboration, meaningful relationships, and building a life and business they love. Through our private Heylo community, in-person gatherings, workshops, and exclusive member experiences, you'll connect with like-minded women who inspire, support, and challenge you to grow.
Whether you're launching something new, scaling your business, navigating a career transition, or simply craving deeper connections, you'll find a welcoming space where conversations go beyond business cards and lead to genuine relationships.
As a member, you'll gain access to exclusive events, member-only networking opportunities, community discussions, business resources, collaborations, and a supportive circle of women committed to helping one another thrive.
Because success feels a whole lot better when you don't have to do it alone.

Co-Working Sessions
CEO Roundtable
Hikes, roller skating, river days, paddleboarding, girls' lunch dates, shopping days...
Because the best conversations happen when you're not sitting across a conference table. This is where the friendships actually start -- and where you remember that you're a whole human, not just a business owner.
Members + guests welcome
Side by side. Heads down. Getting more done in two hours together than you do alone all week. Plus someone to celebrate with when you finally close that tab you've been avoiding.
Members only
Hot seats. Real talk. Brainstorming that actually goes somewhere. The session members say they look forward to most -- because there's nothing like a room full of women who get it AND will tell you the truth.
Members only

Consistency is what turns strangers into your people. Here's what showing up looks like inside BBB.
Expert Workshops
Led BY the women IN the room. Because the expertise inside this community is genuinely that good. Real knowledge, real application, zero fluff.
