MEET BAILEY
Founder, girl mom, leadership coach, friend, connector, hostess and so much more.
Fount + Flourish was created in response to my dream and pursuit to honor and strengthen the impact of women in the world around us.
MY STORY
My husband and I live in Annapolis with our three little girls, our dog Bowie, and our 4 chickens (and yes, life is quite a big, beautiful mess 99% of the time). Professionally, I am a leadership consultant and leadership coach. I have spent my career focused on people and fostering relationships, bringing people and groups closer together and closer to achieving their goals. I have a huge heart for gathering and a passion for ensuring people lean into a life of purpose and meaning, especially women.
Fount + Flourish was created in response to my dream and pursuit to honor and strengthen the impact of women in the world around us.
I realized that in order to achieve this, we must redefine the female experience. We have to document our current experience and then pivot, tear down, build up, and reconstruct the one we want to have. This needs to both occur on a personal level AND a collective level. Redefining what it means to be female in our families, our communities, and our workplaces. As a gatherer at heart, space lies at the center of this effort. The creation of physical and mental space to learn, enjoy, and connect. Fount, as a space and source to provide deep nourishment to the mind, body, and soul of women in our community, and Flourish as a space to support vigorous development and growth of individuals and groups.
COMMUNITY AT THE FOUNT
WHY WE GATHER
At The Fount, we define community as your 'village.'
Our concept of community extends beyond friendship and social connection; it's about nurturing a network of support that bridges generations and embraces the diverse seasons of life. We welcome you into our community to make new friends, find like-minded peers, gain access to advisors and mentors, and connect you to local resources and businesses. Our community ranges from 20-somethings to 50-somethings and includes designers, stay-at-home moms, business owners, financial experts, authors, and everything in between.
