In this episode of Social Media Decoded , Michelle Thames pulls back the curtain on her recent experience at Bloom & Grow Live in Nashville . Forget the picture-perfect Instagram moments—Michelle gets real about the messy truth of entrepreneurship, the guilt of working hard, and why getting “in the room” with other women entrepreneurs is non-negotiable for growth. Michelle shares her top 3 lessons from Bloom & Grow Live : Why community matters more than hustle. How clarity comes from connection (sometimes the best ideas come over tacos, not slides). Why investing in yourself is the ultimate power move if you want others to invest in you. She also gives practical tips you can use right now to grow your business: committing to one room this quarter, connecting with at least three new people, and taking messy action instead of waiting for the perfect plan. Finally, Michelle invites you to join her in person at Elevate & Empower LIVE on November 1, 2025 in Chicago —a powerful one-day event for women entrepreneurs who are ready to get visible, attract clients, and build unstoppable momentum. business conference tips, women entrepreneurs event, visibility coach Michelle Thames, Elevate & Empower LIVE Chicago, networking tips for entrepreneurs, how to grow your business in person events, community for women entrepreneurs, personal branding conference 2025 Resources & Links Mentioned 🎟️ Join me in the room at Elevate & Empower LIVE (Nov 1, Chicago): https://stan.store/michellelthames/p/elevate--empower-live-2025-general-admission Join us at She Connects October 30th at 12 CST: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1748117750249?aff=oddtdtcreator 🎧 Subscribe to Social Media Decoded for more visibility and marketing strategies.
