Community + Support + Opportunities

Meet Your Host, Liz Fleming

I started The Small Town Social® in March 2018 when I first moved to Pinehurst, NC + wasn’t sure how to make friends as a grown woman.

Today, six years and 50 events later, The Small Town Social® supports thousands of women throughout the area (and beyond!) with its popular socials, immersive personal + professional development workshops, and annual women’s conference, GLOWcon, attracting women from as far as Raleigh and Charlotte, Virginia, New York, and Vermont.

As an award-winning marketer by trade, I bring my 13+ years of public relations experience to The Small Town Social® — a pivotal reason why the group has seen such exciting growth over the years. I’ve been featured by Forbes and Business Insider, and frequently speak at events around the country about the power of relationship-building and networking. 

The Small Town Social is a byproduct of my own personal journey to self-discovery, success, and inner peace as a grown woman. It took years of trial and error for me to ultimately step into my power and share my knowledge and experience. I’m so excited to be able to let you in on all of that now too. POWERHOUSE is my passion for connection and personal growth brought to life in digital form.

This is 100% for you if…

✅ You enjoy The Small Town Social® and want to explore everything else it has to offer

✅ You can’t always make monthly socials but still want to network, make friends and have fun doing it

✅ Social media just isn’t doing it for you when it comes to meeting people in person and forming friendships 

✅ Feeling lonely, isolated, or bored in your day-to-day life

✅ Not sure what your natural next step is in life

✅ Longing to make your genuine connections last

✅ Interested in meeting other like-minded women 

✅ Shy and often dread going to public social gatherings alone around town. Trust us, the Powerhouse Membership takes the pressure off :) 

✅ Struggling to find the right support

✅ Frustrated, bored, drained, and feeling absolutely overwhelmed by other opportunities that promise massive results for massive spend 

✅ You LOVED GLOWcon and are ready to take the next step to better yourself and your relationships

✅ You LOVE The Small Town Social® and are ready for more excitement and fun chances to learn, grow and connect.

✅ You’re ready to find the Gayle to your Oprah!

This is 100% NOT for you if…

❌ You’re not into learning new things that are going to make your personal life (and your work life!) more exciting, awesome and worthwhile

❌ You’re not ready to make yourself more of a priority. You’re not willing to focus on the most important relationship you have in the world: the one to yourself

❌ You get what you need from social media and use dipping in and out of Insta and Facebook groups to fill your connection void

❌ You don’t want to learn simple, long-term strategies to improve your networking skills so you can have more fulfilling and exciting friendships for the rest of your life

❌ You don’t want to learn insider connection tips and tools from Liz herself

And, hey, if that’s the case, no sweat!

You can still come to our free monthly socials and join this optional membership community whenever you DO feel ready, whenever doors are open (which is twice a year).

The price will just be a bit higher when you do (those who jump in now, lock in a low rate - this is a special way for me to thank you for investing in yourself)

The best part?

  • No long-term commitments

  • Cancel anytime

  • Use the community only when you need

  • Come and go as you please

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • The POWERHOUSE membership is a private community for all women of all ages and stages, not just those residing in Moore County or North Carolina.

    I want to make connection and collaboration as accessible to everyone as possible and this platform is how I’m able to do that and more.

    There will be unique avenues just for the OG Small Townies to connect inside of this platform so we never lose sight of our original crew here in Moore County.

  • Due to the digital and immediate downloadable nature of this program, I do not offer refunds for memberships or programs already purchased. However, you are welcome to cancel at any time. For more information on our policies, click here.

  • Of course! This private membership community is an optional extension of The Small Town Social’s free monthly socials. You only need to join this membership if you're looking to further expand your connections, explore your passions, embrace your individuality, pursue shared goals, celebrate achievements, nurture new friendships, and foster a vibrant and inclusive community to win together as women in between those super fun socials once per month.

  • Yes, we offer two payment plans. You can choose to pay monthly or you can purchase an annual membership plan and save $$.

  • When you join, you will be prompted to set up your profile inside of our community platform Mighty Networks. This platform has its own website and app and is incredibly easy to use. You’ll LOVE IT. Once you’re inside, you’ll be able to poke around and immediately start diving into everything as you wish. You also have full control over your plan so you can cancel or adjust at any time.

  • Yes!! While The Small Town Social® is based in NC, women from all over the world are welcome to join the POWERHOUSE Membership Community to connect. I designed POWERHOUSE to be for all women, no matter where they live. Members-only meetups are part of your benefits and, for those not based here in NC, you still have the chance to meet up with us via virtual socials and coffee chats. I was very mindful of this scenario as I planned the community. POWERHOUSE is already packed with several other out-of-towners and “snow birds”!

  • You have access to all member benefits, including programs, workshops, trainings, etc for as long as you remain a paying member in good standing. Founding members are able to lock in the lowest rate, which means they pay the same low price for as long as they remain a member, even if the cost to join for others goes up in the future.

  • Not right now, but soon! In the coming months, I’ll have a few different partnership opportunities should you wish to participate in that capacity to draw further attention and exposure to your business (like being listed in the business directory, sharing a deal, etc.). However, these spots are limited to preserve the integrity of the group. For more information on those options and rates, please email hello@thesmalltownsocial.com

  • There are no long-term commitments here. You are welcome to use the community only when you need, come and go as you please, and cancel whenever you wish.

    ** When you join as a founding member you get the lowest rate this membership will ever be and, once you cancel, you can’t get that low price again.**

    You can cancel your membership anytime inside the portal but you’re welcome to email us too and we’ll help you out: hello@thesmalltownsocial.com

  • No worries. Email us anytime hello@thesmalltownsocia.com and we’ll do our best to get back to you ASAP.

For the last several years, The Small Town Social® has supported thousands of women on their journey to develop connections and friendships without the awkwardness that sometimes comes with going it alone.

In experiencing such exciting growth with The Small Town Social after all this time, I realized something:

The in-person networking opportunities that The Small Town Social® provides for women to connect with each other are so lively, energetic and uplifting but…YOU WANT MORE!


You’re eager for more chances to learn and grow together both in-person AND at-home, because you understand that the real transformation takes place in those quiet moments in-between too.

I believe with every fiber of my being that I was put here on this planet to help women connect on a deeper level with themselves and others so they can make LASTING AND MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS.

As a communications professional with decades of experience in interpersonal and personal development strategies, I know that it’s not just meeting up in-person that’s the key to your joy, success, and overall improved quality of life…

It’s how you connect in your downtime that’s crucial to creating lasting, meaningful, fulfilling, and fun relationships in your life.

I want to help you nurture the heck out of the conversations you have in-person AND nurture the heck out of yourself too so you feel you can thrive in your environment every single day.

If you often find yourself wondering…

  • Where is the Gayle to my Oprah? The Brooke to my Peyton? The Lucy to my Ethel? 

  • How do I move these awesome in-person connections forward? 

  • How do I truly take myself and my friendships to the next level? 

  • Where can I nurture the connections I’m making in person so they don’t fizzle? 

  • How do I transform the incredible conversations I’m having from one night out into lasting friendships?

  • What if I could learn easy ways to become a better communicator from an expert at the same time? 

  • What do I do with all of my awesome ideas? How do I expand and take action on them?

  • I’m feeling stuck in life, where can I go? Who can I turn to? 

  • How can I learn to thrive instead of just survive in my day-to-day life, and do that without the hassle?

  • What do I do with my time in between each monthly social? 

  • What if there was a place I could turn to that was SO accessible, I couldn’t say no? 

The world is full of cheap, open-ended, and often, one-sided, opportunities to connect quickly (hello, social media!) OR chances to connect deeper for big bucks and SO MUCH OF IT IS JUST ABOUT BUSINESS but, in my opinion…

Connection shouldn’t force you to deplete your energy or your bank account. 

Awesome opportunities to connect, learn, and grow shouldn’t be available to you just once in a while.

If you need support and guidance, it should be readily available for you whenever you need it, whether for personal or professional reasons.

As much as you love IG and FB, what does social media REALLY do for your relationships? 

As a marketer, I get that there is value in social platforms but, the truth is, social media isn’t always SOCIAL and as popular as it is, it isn’t (and shouldn’t be!) the only tool we use to connect.

The Small Town Social® is here to make socializing EASY, FUN + FULFILLING FOR YOU.

If you want a safe and authentic space to take your experience to the next level so you can…

  • Maximize special moments 

  • Expand quality conversations

  • Have easier ways to stay in touch

  • Get closer to your true calling
