It's finally happening! :-p I'm co hosting a co ed mixer! So ladies of the Charlottesville area, if you'd like to come have a glass of wine, some good conversation and maybe play some pool, then come join .me and the community of North Pointe for Wine Down Wednesdays, a relaxed yet intentional co-ed social mixer hosted on the first Wednesday of every month in the lobby at The Ridge at North Pointe.
This is not your typical networking event or awkward small-talk happy hour.
Wine Down Wednesdays is designed for people who enjoy good conversation, authentic connection, and an elevated social atmosphere. Whether you live at The Ridge or are joining us from around town, you are welcome to come unwind, connect, and be yourself.
What to expect:
A complimentary glass of wine in a beautiful, modern lobby
Comfortable seating areas for casual conversation
A pool table for light, playful connection
A private conference room available for deeper, more intentional conversations
A warm, inclusive mix of residents and guests from the wider community
This gathering is ideal for professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, and socially curious individuals who value confidence, presence, and meaningful human interaction without pressure or pretense.
Come solo or bring a friend. Stay light or go deep. Engage at your own pace.
Date: Wednesday, January 7
Time: 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
Location: Lobby at The Ridge at North Pointe
Hosted by Elysia Buss, Transformative Confidence Coach
Learn more about the work I do and upcoming events at www.playfulpivot.com
Venue: The Ridge at North Pointe
Come wind down your day with great people, real conversation, and a glass of wine.
You'll go around the round about, take a left at the sign that says The Ridge, go about a block. The leasing office/lobby is on the right. You can park in any spot that doesn't say reserved. Easy to park around the side by the pool.
As always, if you've been smoking w**d, please take a shower and change your clothes before coming since Elysia is highly allergic to it; and of course if you have a cold, please stay home and take care of yourself. We hope to see you there!

Ready to Stop Shrinking and Start Standing Tall?
TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE WITH CONFIDENCE COACH ELYSIA BUSS
A Half-Day Journey to Break Free from People-Pleasing
Saturday, June 7
9 AM to 12 PM PST
Interactive Coaching Live on Zoom
You’ve spent years making things easier for everyone else. You smooth things over, swallow your needs, say yes when your soul says no.
But real peace doesn’t come from being agreeable. It comes from being aligned.
This half-day experience is for the people-pleasers with big hearts and tired spirits. The ones who are ready to stop second-guessing their worth and start living like they matter.
During our time together, you will:
Learn how to say no without guilt or explanation
Identify where your energy is leaking through unclear or unspoken boundaries
Reconnect with the version of you that has been waiting quietly behind the scenes
This is not about becoming someone else. It is about coming home to the you that has always been there.
Guided by Confidence Coach Elysia Buss, you’ll receive grounded tools, powerful coaching, and a space to grow in real time.
To save your spot, send a message with the word "CONFIDENCE"
Spots are limited and designed for depth
You don’t have to earn your worth.
You just have to stop abandoning it.

People tend to have a confusion that if you're introverted that you by default aren't confident and that is so far from the truth!

2) The Sabbatical that Changed Her Life: She took a break from her routine, and it completely changed her life by her reconnecting with my creativity and passions.
3) Networking as an Introvert: How she went from Anxiety to Authentic Connections. She used to dread networking, but now she enjoys it by focusing on real connections.
Linda Cajuste is a dedicated Confidence Coach, ACC ICF certified life coach, and ideation strategist who empowers shy and introverted women entrepreneurs to find their voices and confidently pursue their goals. With over 15 years of experience in the corporate world as an accountant, she understands the challenges of stepping outside your comfort zone.

Someone is writing an article about me and they asked me about my journey and I found myself in reflection...
At 44 years of age, I’m grateful for the wisdom and maturity I’ve acquired after a life filled with it’s fair shares of ups and downs. I’ve lived in six states and I’m about to head to my 7th; traveled to three countries and driven across the country 10x in the last 13 years. I even went to 10 different colleges in the journey of figuring out what I wanted to do in life.
I share all of this because I think that so often in life we think it’s supposed to be a straight path. But mine was more like a three year old going to town with a crayon trying to draw a map after eating cake.
The beautiful thing is that I took all those life lessons and alchemized them into golden wisdom to share with others as they went on their own journeys. I humbly share about the obstacles I overcame so that others may avoid some of the pitfalls I made and be more efficient in their learning process with greater confidence and experience less pain. The journey has made me a much better person and a fantastic coach.
So if you're struggling with transition, people pleasing, or some toxic relationships in your life, send me a dm and lets have a conversation about how I may be able to help you. There are a lot of different things I can help people with due to the dynamic life I've lived; and if I can't help you... chances are that someone in my epic global network of coaches can.

We all need a little support now and again. Come book a no pressure complimentary coaching call with me if you are struggling with:
*People pleasing that leads to burnout & feeling taken advantage of & underappreciation.
*Poor boundaries that lead to difficulties in relationships (friends, family & work)
*Expectations & control, which can lead to frustrations with other people.
*Talking to people in real life, which can lead to missed opportunities and general anxiety.
I'm here to provide transformative coaching sessions to level up your confidence and empower you to live the authentic, joyful life you deserve.
Book a complimentary coaching session with me to receive support. If we aren't the right fit, there's a good chance that I can refer you to another amazing person in my global network of coaches! It's more important to me that everyone find the right coach, than try to convince someone for me to coach them when we're not quite the right fit. Together we rise!
