Founder
Malinda Leonard
Hi, I’m Malinda — founder of Grateful Connections, lifelong connector, and professional cheerleader for women in business and beyond.
After 25 years in corporate sales, I started my own entrepreneurial journey — and I quickly saw how many women are building incredible things without the support, confidence, or business knowledge they truly deserve.
What I kept hearing — and personally experiencing — was that so many women felt stuck or unsure, not because they lacked talent or heart, but because they were trying to do it all alone.
I created Grateful Connections to change that.
This community is built on the belief that growth happens through gratitude, guidance, and genuine relationships. It’s where you’ll find honest conversations, helpful connections, and a circle of women who want to see you succeed.
I’m here to make sure you never have to wonder, “Am I the only one who feels this way?” again.
Let’s grow — together.
Whether you’re here to connect, to learn, to be inspired — or all of the above — I hope you’ll find what you need inside this community.
