Boost Light Night Workshops and Our Make Fun Happen Mission

Make Fun Happen: The Power of Creativity in Your Life

As we dive into a new year filled with possibilities, let’s commit to a goal that often gets overlooked: having fun! Fun isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential for our well-being, and incorporating creativity into your month can transform your mood, mindset, and even your overall outlook on life.

In the Boost Light Book, we talk about the belief in setting intentions that balance hustle with joy. That’s why we are being intentional about making fun happen! We’re kicking off this commitment with an exciting new event:

✨ Boost Light Night Workshops ✨
Starting on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, we’ll be gathering at That Girl + Co in Lemont for a night dedicated to creativity, connection, and inspiration.

This Month’s Creative Boost: Clay Pottery

In January, we’ll be getting our hands dirty—literally!—as we design, sculpt, and paint a set of trinket bowls. This workshop is open to everyone, no matter your artistic experience.

Why clay pottery? There’s something grounding about working with clay, shaping it into something meaningful with your own hands. Plus, painting and decorating your creation adds a personal touch that makes it uniquely yours.
What to expect: An evening filled with laughter, empowerment, and maybe a little mess (the fun kind!). You’ll leave with not only a beautiful creation but also a lighter heart and a renewed sense of joy.

The Science Behind Creativity

Creativity isn’t just good for your soul—it’s great for your brain. Research has shown that engaging in creative activities can:

Reduce stress: Creative hobbies help lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress.
Increase happiness: When we create, our brains release dopamine, a feel-good neurotransmitter.
Build confidence: Completing a creative project boosts self-esteem and provides a sense of accomplishment.
Enhance problem-solving skills: The act of creating helps train your brain to think outside the box in other areas of life.

Incorporating even small moments of creativity into your month can make a big difference. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about showing up, trying something new, and letting yourself play.

Why Boost Light Nights?

Our Boost Light Nights are more than just workshops—they’re opportunities to:

Connect with other amazing women in a supportive, uplifting space.
Network, build community, or simply share space with like-minded individuals.
Tap into your inner creative and reconnect with yourself.
Recharge in a way that leaves you feeling inspired and ready to tackle whatever comes next.

Whether you’re coming with friends or on your own, you’ll find a warm, welcoming environment where fun is the focus and empowerment is the outcome.
