How often do you say "yes" when you really need to say "no"?

Setting healthy boundaries at work and in personal life can be tough, especially for women and immigrants building a life in a new country. Between wanting to be supportive, adapting to local culture, and establishing ourselves, the guilt of declining requests often gets in the way.

On Thursday, 15 October, IWWOF is hosting an open community meetup at Outrun Cafe: Saying No Without Feeling Guilty.

This is a cozy, supportive circle to talk about real experiences, share practical ways to set boundaries without burning bridges, and connect with other women who understand the journey.

- Date: Thursday, 15 October 2026
- Time: 16:00 – 18:00 EEST
- Where: Outrun Cafe (Asemapäällikönkatu 3, Helsinki)
- Access: Free (please register on Luma so we know how many seats to prepare)
- A small note: To support the wonderful local small business hosting us, please plan to purchase your drink or treat at the counter.

Spaces are limited, so save your spot here: https://luma.com/1l47byxu

Real conversations between women founders, freelancers, and seasoned experts set the tone for our recent evening with Helsingin Yrittäjänaiset (HYN).

From swapping notes on how the local market really works to planning next steps together, several exciting ideas and potential partnerships were already born right in the room.

This meetup also shows where IWWOF is heading. Finding a job and settling in will always matter, but we want to make sure women who choose the entrepreneurial path have the backing they need. Thriving in Finland is also about having the courage and community support to run your own business.

Thank you to the HYN team for co-hosting with us, and to everyone who showed up, spoke honestly, and made connections.

Keep an eye out for more founder-focused meetups in the coming months!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined our casual meetups in Helsinki and Turku this week!

Between catching up in Helsinki and reopening our local gatherings in Turku, the room was full of real, candid conversations about settling in, finding our footing, and navigating careers in Finland.

One big takeaway from both evenings was how much a single honest conversation can shift your perspective. Having someone listen, share their own experience, or offer practical advice makes all the difference when you are building your path here.

That is exactly why we created Mentor4Her, and we want to invite you to our upcoming online launch.

Mentor4Her is designed to connect international women across Finland with experienced mentors who are ready to share practical guidance, perspective, and support. In this session, we will walk through how the platform works and how you can take part as a mentee or mentor.

- Date: Tuesday, 29 September 2026
- Time: 17:00 – 18:00 EEST
- Format: Online via Google Meet
- Cost: Free registration

If you have been looking for the right mentor or simply want to be part of a meaningful support network, we would love to see you there.

- Date: Tuesday, 29 September 2026
