A Vibrant Community for Women in Business
We’re one of a kind just like you. We believe magic comes from bringing people together to #connectcollaboratecreate. The Southern Coterie is a vibrant community of women in business - a resource for passionate female entrepreneurs in the South and beyond
We are a community of expert voices and familiar faces. Through thoughtfully tailored networking opportunities in the form of our monthly membership and empowering and energetic in person events like our annual #TSCSUMMIT and Fall events, we move you farther faster with a dose of fun.
We educate and empower
Networking
Networking
We thrive on bringing women in business with shared interests together to promote growth, connection, and merrymaking. Our members and attendees are open minded and action oriented female entrepreneurs. We roll up our sleeves and go to work as a community – brainstorming creative ideas, finding solutions, sharing results and above all creating rewarding relationships and an encouraging support system for all who join us.
Our events connect you with other seasoned entrepreneurs, mentors, and a roster of impressive experts. Always in an inspiring locale, our networking events give you the opportunity to collaborate effortlessly with other women in business. Our programming is intentionally tailored to create camaraderie, community and kick-up-your heels fun meaning education is always balanced with networking, brand discovery, signature TSC social gatherings and time to recharge.
Merry Making
Merry Making
For our membership, we tap our network of experts to lead weekly support zooms – educational presentations, desksides with industry experts, breakout groups with peer to peer mentoring and plenty of time for pop-up discussions. We’re purposefully creating an energetic community where you can share and learn week-to-week with familiar faces online and through our customized app.
Our community is a diverse group of women in business. Founders of emerging brands from fashion to food, wellness to beauty. Small business entrepreneurs like interior designers, artists, marketing professionals. And, seasoned female entrepreneurs taking on new ventures and looking to mentor the next generation of makers and doers.
"I have met lifetime friends and business partners through this community. It has changed my life for the better."

Meet The Founders
We developed The Southern C out of a mutual love for the South and passion for the people and unique businesses that shape our region. We’ve celebrated our successes both personally and professionally with careers in local and national publishing but like so many of our members crave to create more.
We’re currently balancing a range of entrepreneurial businesses in addition to TSC. We guess you could say this amazing community and events are our “side hustle” that grew into the business of our dreams! A decade plus in, we’re excited to continue to cultivate a community online and in-person where women like you can connect and be inspired. Come on in!
