WE'RE NOT HERE TO COLLECT FRIENDS
we’re here to make them
Because life is better when you have people to do it with.
Wildish Women was built on a pretty simple belief: making friends shouldn't get harder just because we're adults.
Somewhere between careers, families, responsibilities, and the general chaos of life, finding your people can feel surprisingly difficult.
We wanted to change that.
How it started
I moved to Arizona knowing that building a new life would come with its challenges. What I didn't expect was how difficult it would be to find the kind of community I had once taken for granted.
I missed having people to call for a spontaneous dinner, someone to attend an event with, or friends who were always up for an adventure.
So I started creating those opportunities.
Wildish Women began as a way to bring women together. It has grown into a community where friendships are made over books, dinner tables, creative workshops, weekend getaways, and all the little moments in between.
What we believe
Friendship has no expiration date. It's never too late to find your people.
You don't need a plus-one. Showing up alone is often how the best stories begin.
Experiences create connection. Sometimes the easiest way to make a friend is to do something fun together.
There's room for everyone. Different personalities, interests, backgrounds, and stages of life belong here.
Life is meant to be lived. We believe in making plans, trying things, and saying yes to the occasional ridiculous idea.
HI, I’M JESS
I'm the founder of Wildish Women, a community builder, book lover, traveler, and someone who firmly believes that there should always be something fun on the calendar.
I built Wildish Women because I wanted the kind of community I had been missing—and I figured I probably wasn't the only one.
Today, I get to bring women together through events, book clubs, retreats, and travel. And my favorite part isn't the event itself. It's watching strangers become friends.
THERE'S A PLACE FOR YOU HERE.
