OUR MOVERS & SHAKERS COMMUNITY is made up of:
LIFELONG ENTREPRENEURS, DREAMERS, SIDE HUSTLERS, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN…
No matter where you are at in your journey — you are a Mover & Shaker!
women in all industries
From coaching and the healing arts, to construction & real estate, to local brick & mortars, medicine, higher education, the arts, yoga, finance and accounting, and much, much more!
WOMEN OF ALL AGES & backgrounds
No matter who you love, what you look like, where you came from or what your age is (we have members from 21-70!)…you have a place here.
NETWORKING, REDEFINED
Since our inception in August of 2023, we’ve hosted a wide variety of networking based events and workshops — becoming colloquially known as “The Wettest & Sweatiest Networking” of Sarasota (because of our summer beach walks!) and building up to a community of over 1500 women in our Facebook group.
So, what exactly is a MOVER & SHAKER?
A Mover and Shaker is a bold and courageous woman — someone that does bold things (like start a business or leave their job!) against the odds and oftentimes the status quo…even when they are absolutely, heart-wrenchingly terrified.
You are a Mover & Shaker even if you are at the very beginning of your business journey, have a seedling or an idea for a side hustle, or are completely burning your business down and rebuilding from the ground up.
In this group we acknowledge that owning a business, crafting a life that is right for you and living your unique purpose can be overwhelming, challenging, beautiful and complex. But…You don’t have to do it alone — and navigating this process surrounded by other women who are dedicated to lifting you up throughout all of the ups and downs? Now that’s a million times better 😜

Get to know us
Oh hey (hej hej!) We’re Sami & Kristine
Movers & Shakers is brought to you by two Scandinavian empaths, photographers & creatives who loooove building community, being complete goofs in public (well, and all the time) and helping women make big things happen.
We’re Kristine and Sami — two heart-led creatives who believe that networking doesn’t have to feel awkward, forced, or performative. In fact, we believe it can be fun, soulful, and even a little magical.
We met through Movers & Shakers (yep — it started with one event!) and instantly clicked. Now, we get to co-host this community together and welcome you into the kind of space we always dreamed of finding: grounded in sisterhood, full of purpose, and bursting with possibility.
Sami is the founder of Movers & Shakers, a brand designer, photographer, and community-builder who brings vision, heart, and a creative spark to everything she touches — (her clients affectionately call her their “Brand Fairy! 🧚♀️”)
Kristine is a Swedish-born author, life coach, and photographer who brings compassion, depth, and a warm, welcoming energy that instantly puts you at ease (especially if you're an introvert — she sees you).
Together, we’re here to hold space, cheer you on, and help you connect — not just with others, but with your own hopes and dreams.
We can’t wait to meet you!
we asked, you shared
“Movers and Shakers, to me, is a sanctuary for creative, sensitive souls to gather in a way that feels real and restorative — a place where connection is rooted in presence, not performance, and where introverts don't have to hustle to belong.”
- Sheena
“IN a sentence: I love movers & shakers because there's no pressure or pretense to sell or network, just come and be yourself with other down to earth entrepreneurs. In a word: authentic”
- Jess (part 1)
“also; I feel seen and valued and it was thru one of the casual meetups that an introduction was made and I ended up booking a client for my group program with a week to go before doors closed.”
- Jess (part 2)
“Meaningful connections & community”
