Catapult You‘s networking brunch is an opportunity to connect with their tribe in an intimate setting, and it is a great opportunity to get to know the Catapult You ladies. 

With each networking event, they choose a theme and this time around, they’re focusing on self-care. 

We’ll be joined by Olamide Michelle, lawyer, yogi, and professional brand builder as she gives us practical strategies to go from the “lip service” of self-care to actually implementing self-care in our lives.
