Next Monday

She's been Brave Anyway from day one.

At 17, she arrived in the U.S. from Colombo, Sri Lanka with two suitcases and zero roadmap — just a conviction that her life was meant for something bigger.

That conviction carried her through a biology degree, a Doctorate in Chiropractic, advanced training in Functional Medicine and Traumatic Brain Injury, and a postgrad program at Harvard Medical School. Then, in the middle of a global pandemic, she did the boldest thing yet: she opened her own clinic.

Amanthi will confirm that Brave Anyway isn't a one-time leap. It's a hundred small yeses, said again and again, even when the roadmap doesn't exist.

Hear her story at the 2026 Women of Influence Summit on September 17 at The Park Event Center in Waite Park, MN.

Individual tickets and Partner opportunities are available.

We can't wait to see you there.

Growth isn't a solo sport.

70% of women say their career success comes down to having a mentor or a network of support in their corner. (Mentorink)

At Next Monday, we believe the fastest way to grow is together. Showing up messy. Asking better questions. Cheering each other on through the parts of the journey nobody posts about.

You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need a few women walking it with you.

We believe in you. And we rise, together.

Today, we celebrate 250 years of the enduring ideals that continue to shape our nation: freedom, opportunity, and the belief that each generation can build something better.

We're grateful for the women who lead with courage, lift others as they rise, and strengthen their families, workplaces, and communities every day.

May we never take for granted the opportunities we have to learn, lead, serve, and make a difference.

Wishing you a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day. ❤️🤍💙
