Athena Verve: A Collective for Women Who Rise Together

 

The Athena Verve Collective is a gathering place where women can come as they are, dream bigger than ever, and feel supported at every stage of the journey.

This community was born from a deep desire for connection. Our founder, Kim O'Grady, knows what it’s like to hold big visions in a small town. What began as her personal calling has grown into a movement: a home for women who are ready to rise together.

At Athena Verve, we believe that when women come together with intention, courage, and real connection, transformation happens. Inside Athena Verve, you’ll find collaboration over competition, honest conversations, and a circle of women who see and celebrate you.

Athena Verve isn’t just about one person’s story, it’s about all of ours. Every woman here adds to the energy, wisdom, and magic of the collective.

Together, we’re rewriting the rules of what’s possible in business, in life, and in how we show up for ourselves and each other.

About Kim

I grew up in the city of Mississauga, life was fast, full, and always on the go. When I moved to Huntsville in 1998, I traded highways for backroads and shopping malls for lake views. What I didn’t expect was how much this shift would shape me.

Small town life grounded me. It reminded me of connection, of neighbours who know your name, of a slower pace that creates space to think and dream. But it also revealed something else: just because we live in small towns, doesn’t mean we need to think small.

I met incredible women here, entrepreneurs, leaders, creatives, each with bold ideas and a quiet hunger for more. More connection. More inspiration. More spaces where their big vision was welcomed, not dimmed.

Athena Verve was born from that need. A place for women like us, rooted in small towns, but unafraid to dream bigger than the town limits. A place to gather, empower, and remind each other: our vision is limitless.
