I turned down 400 high-value products because they weren’t right for my audience.

For The Suite Oasis, a potential partnership looked generous on paper. But when I considered who would actually use the products, the fit wasn’t there. Accepting them would have filled bags without serving the brand’s goals.

That’s why I start sponsorship conversations with a question: ā€œHow can I help?ā€

I ask what the brand is launching, what its marketing priorities are and what was missing from previous partnerships. Then I look at where my audience and the experience I’m creating can offer real value.

Those answers shape the opportunity I pitch. Wanting a brand’s name attached to my event is only the beginning. I need to understand why the partnership makes sense for everyone involved.

Save this before your next pitch. Would you have taken the products or held out for a better fit?

Watch my full interview on the Small Business Podcast with Maheen Bari on YouTube for more on how I build partnerships with intention.

What’s the point of a room built for connection if nobody new gets invited?

When I dream up an event, I picture the people who could meet there. Someone I’ve worked with for years. Someone I’ve only just met. Someone walking in without knowing a single person.

Big creators, small creators, people who don’t create content at all. The dreamers, the doubters, the everyday regular-degulars like me. People at the beginning of their journey, somewhere in the middle or figuring out their next chapter.

That mix is intentional. Everybody brings something to the room.

With The Suite Oasis and every experience I create, I want people to have a good time, feel welcome and leave with a connection they didn’t see coming.

Watching something that lived entirely in my head become a real place where people laugh, connect and feel good? That’s my high. That’s the part that makes me want to do it all again.

To the brands that believe in my beautiful little bit of crazy and help bring it to life, thank you. You help make space for all of this.

Who would you bring into your next chapter? Send this to them. There’s room for you both.

Unbox the experience with us.

A gifting suite is so much more than what you see when the doors open. It’s the planning, the partnerships, the sourcing, the details, and the incredible brands that come together to create an unforgettable experience.

From beauty and lifestyle to food, drinks and everything in between we’re taking you through every item that made its way into our gifting suite.

A very special thank you to every sponsor, brand, vendor, creator, influencer and guest who trusted us and helped bring this experience to life. Your support, creativity and generosity made the day what it was.

We wanted to take the time to properly showcase everyone who contributed, so grab a seat, press play and unbox the suite with us. 

This is the power of connection.
It’s Well Connected.

And this is only the beginning… until the next one.

Okay, little business, BIG dreams.

The Well Connected & I have officially been nominated for the Canada Small Business 100!

Building something that didn’t quite have a blueprint has been a journey, so moments like this remind me to stop, look around and appreciate just how far this little business of mine has come.

Proud to be a nominee. Our name is in the room, and now we see what happens next.

The Suite Oasis, from my POV.

I created this experience because I wanted gifting to feel like more than what you leave with. I wanted it to feel like discovery, connection, culture and being in the right room with the right people.

What started as Carnival Oasis has grown into something much bigger.

This is The Suite Oasis. A little look at the why behind it.

This year has been a reminder.

A reminder to trust myself. Trust the vision. Trust God. Trust the gifts He gave me. Trust the people around me. And, maybe most importantly, trust when it is time to let go of the people, things and versions of myself that no longer serve where I am going.

I took a year off from the Oasis. I got quieter, shed some dead weight and stopped looking outside of myself for permission to build what I could already see.

And then we built it.

Four Oases later, this one just felt different.

To my friends, family, core team, day ones, volunteers, sponsors, partners, and everyone who called, checked in, encouraged me, shared a post or sent a kind word, thank you. I saw it. I felt it.

And to every single person who walked through those doors, supported a partner, made a connection, created content, danced, laughed, discovered something new or simply allowed themselves to escape for a few hours, thank you.

The biggest lesson from Suite Oasis No. 4 might be that trusting yourself doesn’t mean doing everything yourself. Sometimes it means trusting that you have built the right village to help carry the vision.

I’m still taking it all in. Still filled with gratitude. Still slightly overwhelmed.

But very, very proud.

More stories, more content and more Oasis to come.
