Australia-wide. First in-person gatherings in Sydney.

Ambition looks different in real life

Real Life Circle isn’t another program or networking group you need to keep up with. It’s the group chat you wish you had: women who understand what it’s like to care about your career and want a life that feels good too.

Come for a second opinion, a trusted recommendation, a useful introduction or a conversation you can’t have with just anyone. Ask when you need help. Share when you have something useful to add. Come to a Sydney catch-up when you can.

If it sounds like your tribe, we’d love to meet you!

A circle that is actually useful

A private group chat

Ask real questions, exchange ideas and get thoughtful perspectives from women with meaningful experience of their own.

Practical conversations

Candid sessions about leadership, career growth, money, business, side projects and building a working life that works for you.

Generous connections

Useful introductions, trusted recommendations and interesting opportunities shared by women who genuinely want to help one another succeed.

Real-life connection

An Australia-wide community, with relaxed in-person gatherings beginning in Sydney.

All with a pinch of fun and a sprinkle of spirituality ✨

You might belong here if…

You’re a woman living in Australia.

You’ve built meaningful professional experience, typically eight years or more, across corporate, startups, consulting or your own business.

You’re curious about non-linear careers, even if you’re not planning an immediate change.

You want to connect with women beyond your immediate company or industry.

You’re ambitious, curious, open-minded and generous with what you know.

You want to be part of the Circle, not simply added to another group chat. There’s no pressure to attend everything, just a willingness to join in and contribute.

From Larah

@reallifeceo_

I’ve spent the past 15 years across Big Four consulting, high-growth startups and building a business to eight figures as a founder and CEO.

Since starting Real Life CEO, I’ve had so many women contact me through the community and on LinkedIn. They want advice, new connections or simply the chance to speak with women who understand their world.

I kept thinking: you should all know each other.

Real Life Circle is my way of making that happen.

Apply to join

Real Life Circle will begin with a small founding group.

Tell me a little about yourself and what you would want from the Circle. There is no fee or commitment to apply.

Real Life Circle is invite-only. Applications will be reviewed individually to create a thoughtful, generous community of women who can learn from and support one another.

If it feels like the right fit, you’ll receive an invitation when founding membership opens.
