Why WE-OC Matters?
WE-OC exists to inspire women to prosper into more evolved entrepreneurs, together.
We have entered an era where women are taking more risks and being more courageous in going after their dreams and the success they seek. Women are awakening to their potential of being small business owners. While there are more women than ever starting and leading businesses, female entrepreneurs still face some unique and persistent challenges.
Female Entrepreneurs are still experiencing entrepreneurial poverty — Lack of self-confidence, support, time, funding, and sales. WE-OC is committed to eradicating entrepreneurial destitution, so female entrepreneurs never have to live with this lack.
WE-OC is a connected and collaborative community that gives every female entrepreneur access to an influential network, resources, mentorship, support, guidance, and learning to accelerate the path toward successful entrepreneurship, abundance, and prosperity.

How WE-OC Is Different?

Everything we do intentionally supports and showcases our member community.

What Our Members Are Saying About WE-OC
Sharon Cohen Corley
Relationship and Love Consultant
“Mirna Bard has created the unicorn here. A richly, highly-engaged group of women who are committed to each other and to the community she has developed. Relationships have developed, referrals have been made, joint ventures have come together. And it all started online. Mirna is a magician and the women in this group are marvelous!”
Traci Shirachi-Chhiap
CEO, The Mark USA, Inc.
“WE-OC is a very intentional organization focused on the overall well-being of the women who commit their time to the organization. WE-OC is very distinct in how it approaches professional networking and education. Each event is well organized so that each person shares their story about their company, and you meet everyone who is attending. I have learned a great deal from each woman regardless of profession or company. For anyone interested in specific topical focus areas and learning to grow and change amongst other women who are strong supporters, I highly recommend WE-OC.”
Dharmi Shah
Mom-preneur Empowerment Coach
“As a transformational health and life coach I wanted to reach out to women who are goal-oriented and support them with their health and life. When I joined WE-OC, I did not know I would be so supported in return as well as feel safe, loved, and connected! With all the circles available, I came in contact with a number of wonderful women who are ready to help and collaborate. I want to thank Mirna Bard for being so approachable and a wonderful human being!”
Louann Vu
Reiki Master Teacher
“I love how this is an intentional community that exists to help other women move forward and prosper. No matter where you are in your entrepreneurial journey — whether you are starting a brand-new venture, or are a seasoned entrepreneur, there is always something new here for you to learn. Mirna truly cares and has the passion in wanting to help women entrepreneurs to be successful. I am honored to be a Founding Member of WE-OC!”
Carrie Saks
Messaging Strategist
“There is something magical and magnetic about Mirna Bard’s group, WE-OC that drew me in. Even though I am not physically located in Orange County, I feel more at home in this group than anywhere else. Everyone was welcoming and I feel very supported, accepted, and connected. It is not about marketing your business or trying to get new clients like many other groups. It is about building relationships and true connections. Thank you so much, Mirna Bard, for creating this unique container bubbling over with creativity, integrity and leadership.”
Dali Litinski
The Unstoppable Growth Coach
“WE-OC is different. It not only gave me the feeling of belonging to a tribe of quality committed women who I want in my life because they inspire me and benefit me and my business, but it also opened my horizons to opportunities to acquire knowledge and experience growth that other groups don’t provide. This group is beyond just networking. If you are a committed and curious woman who wants to connect, learn, and support other women like yourself, WE-OC is for you.”
Lynn Heubach
Real Estate Investor & Travel and Retreat Expert
“The quality of women entrepreneurs, the willingness to connect, collaborate, share information and ideas — It’s a community that supports, encourages and uplifts others. I have been able to connect on a much deeper level than other networking groups. I think it is because of the whole vibe that everybody is bringing to WE-OC as well as Mirna Bard’s leadership.”
A Note FromThe Founder
“My life’s work is driven from past experience. Most of my life I have struggled to find women to support, guide, and lift me in life and in business. If you have been there, I have been right in your shoes! I made a promise to myself early on in my career that I will be the one to advocate for every woman because women have the power to change the world if they do it together. My goal is to inspire women to work collectively and collaboratively to shine, thrive, and prosper. I want every woman in this community to feel like she is supported, nurtured, and celebrated.
Whether you are thinking of becoming an entrepreneur, accelerating your business to higher levels, or just starting your business, you need to be a part of a connected community. The kind that holds you up, supports you and propels you forward, not just for you but for all women.
WE-OC is that community, and I hope you consider joining us in this vibrant and dynamic community that has become my family.”
