A community for women to connect, be seen, and grow — together.
A space for women to come together, share openly, and build genuine connections. Where vulnerability meets empowerment, and struggles transform into shared strength.
Bravehearts Collective was created for women who crave real connection — beyond surface-level networking. It’s for the ones building businesses, raising families, chasing growth, and holding it all together… even when it feels like it’s falling apart.
Because being brave isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about showing up anyway, having the courage to speak your truth, take risks, and move forward even when doubt, fear, or uncertainty are present.
Because heart is what keeps us human. It’s the willingness to feel deeply, lead with compassion, stay open, and meet ourselves and others with honesty, softness, and understanding; especially in the messy moments.
Bravehearts is about combining the two — courage and compassion — to build a community rooted in honesty, empathy, and growth.
My name is Kristina Botelho (KB) — founder (and janitor 😉) of Kb&co, a plant-based café that grew from passion, grit, and a lot of late nights. After 20+ years in entrepreneurship and leadership, I’ve navigated franchising, business planning, marketing, commercial leasing, and team building. But the hardest lessons came from life itself — balancing motherhood (to four incredible kids) with running a business through some deeply personal storms.
Entrepreneurship and leadership are rewarding, but they can also feel lonely, overwhelming, and isolating. I struggled to find a community that truly got it. That’s why I started Bravehearts — to create the space I needed when things felt the hardest. A space to share openly, grow collectively, and rise stronger together.
Braveheart Events are a gathering of women who come together as a collective to share the experiences we usually keep to ourselves. This is a space for real, unfiltered, vulnerable conversations: the truths behind the wins, the doubts, the grief, the growth, and everything in between.
Sometimes we welcome guest speakers who spark insight and perspective. Other times, we simply gather; no agenda, and no fixing, just women connecting, listening, and being seen.
Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter, more connected, and reminded that you’re not alone in what you’re carrying.

The “in-between” Container
An intimate 8-week mentorship circle for women in transition, offering a slow, supportive space to reconnect with self-trust through weekly presence-led conversations.
Where real stories meet raw courage. Here, I explore the messy beautiful process of becoming through mindset, business, healing, and everything in between. These are my reflections, lessons, and conversations that remind you that bravery isn’t loud… it’s honest.
