Atlanta, we love you!

(Summer 2025)

Broad Shoulders was thrilled to host another #DineAroundSeries in the beautiful Buckhead area. Hosts Emilie Dayan Hill, Kim Hutchens, and Tamara Edwards brought sixteen incredible women from different industries together for an evening of honest conversation. We shared stories and insights on everything from career growth and leadership to side hustles and the balance of success and sacrifice.

The gathering was held at the beautiful The Garden Room with a multi course menu prepared by Chef Freddy Money.

Attendees shared stories and insights on everything from navigating and expanding their career story, scaling side hustles and businesses, and trends in AI and technology.

The best part? The presence, focus, and depth of the conversation. The absolute best part? An expanded professional support network, new relationships, and advocates for your success. There is a warmth that happens when the welcome mat is laid and the tone is set to kindness.
