Not Your Typical Networking
A Different Way to Connect, Collaborate & Grow
No pressure. No rules. Just good people, growing together.
The Heart Behind It — A Note From Andrea
This isn’t networking the way most people think of it.
It’s not about pressure, pitches, or perfect elevator speeches. It’s about people.
Andrea created Not Your Typical Networking because real connection happens when we show up as we are — not when we follow a rigid format.
“People often think I’m outgoing and confident, but the truth is, I start groups like this so I don’t have to walk into a room alone. I’m just like my mom — having conversations in my head and hoping someone else starts the small talk first.”
“I’ve never liked rules. I like people. So I built this space to share good people with good people and make networking feel like what it should be — connection, growth, and maybe even some fun.”
Whether you’re brand new in business or decades in, this is a place for real conversations, meaningful support, and collaborative energy.
