Welcome to our First Edition:
The Directory of Awesome Women Doing Amazing Things!
Everyday Deep is about supporting and celebrating women in our area
and we hope this guide is another way to do so. Inside these pages are
local women sharing what they do and what they care about. We hope
that you’ll learn about and support these community members who are
pursuing their passions, businesses, vocations and causes.
We so appreciate their support — and yours!
Dale and Cindi
PS: Each page also features excerpts from the “real and relatable women
who shared their deeper selves and stories” with us this past year. To see
speaker videos or learn more about us, visit: www.everydaydeep.com.
