Welcome to the NW Chicagoland Nova Constellation

Launching March 18th

A Community of Bold, Ambitious Women & Non-Binary Leaders Rising Together. The NW Chicagoland Constellation of The Nova is a local chapter where heart-led leaders come together to connect, grow, and support each other in their personal and professional journeys. Led by visionaries, this community fosters bold action, deep connection, and collective empowerment. Whether you’re looking to expand your network, spark personal breakthroughs, or elevate your career, our constellation offers the space and support to help you rise.

Being part of The Nova has ignited my confidence. Knowing that I’m not alone, surrounded by wonderful humans creating big things, fuels my courage to talk with strangers and build new relationships. The Nova community is such a powerful space.

Today, I find myself in deeper community and deeper relationship with community than I ever have in my life. And the beautiful thing about that? Whether I’m actually in a room with them or I’m totally alone, the strength of those bonds is with me. So, I can be my fully weird, completely intense, beautifully unique self whether I’m totally alone or fully surrounded. There I am. Being me, no matter what the circumstance.

It’s incredible how this community has helped me take brave steps in my life and business. I’ve known for a while how I wanted to show up in the world, but I realized I didn’t have the right support network to hold me in that level of visibility and vulnerability. I knew I needed a community that could help me step into a new level of authenticity and success—a place where I could truly be seen, even in my most vulnerable moments.
