The Westside Cincy

01/24/2025

Today's Westside Cincy Business Connect was AWESOME!

We had 45 incredible professionals join us for the first Westside Cincy Business Connect of 2025, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the energy and connections in the room!

Here are a few highlights from the event:

After introductions, we had meaningful discussions about what inspired us in our businesses, who we’re hoping to connect with, and our goals for 2025.

The Haves & Wants Round Robin was such a great way to share resources, opportunities, and even a few creative ideas—all in under a minute each.

And of course, the coffee, donuts, and good conversations kept the morning flowing. ☕🍩

This event is all about building relationships and strengthening the Westside business community, and I’m so thankful for everyone who showed up and made it such a success.

If you couldn’t make it this time, don’t worry—we host these quarterly, and I’d love to see you at the next one. Let’s make 2025 a year of collaboration, growth, and success together!

What a wonderful time at today’s Westside Cincy Mom Meetup! ❤️

Despite the chilly weather, we had such a great turnout—thank you to everyone who came out to connect. It’s always amazing to see this lil ol' Moms group come together in real life!

A huge shoutout to for hosting us. 🌱 Their space was perfect, and the little play area kept the kiddos entertained while we enjoyed their awesome coffee, teas, and nutritious lunches. If you haven’t checked them out yet, it’s definitely worth a visit!

We couldn’t do this without you!

This contest holds a deeply personal meaning for me. My mom absolutely loved the lights and the holiday season. Some of my fondest memories are of driving around with her and my siblings to admire all the beautifully decorated homes. My mom would start with an enthusiastic "Oooh," and we’d all join in with "Ahhh," laughing together and soaking in the magic of the season.

Sadly, I lost my mom at a young age to a he**in overdose, after years of sobriety. Her struggle is one that so many families face in Cincinnati—and especially here on the Westside. This contest is my way of honoring her memory and the joy she found in holiday lights, while also bringing that same happiness to our community.

This year, we’re also proud to support Weightless Anchor, an incredible local organization providing resources to those in need. Team Thoms will be matching donations up to $1,000—so you can join us in giving back this season.

Let’s light up the Westside together, one yard at a time. Happy Holidays from all of us at Team Thoms and the Westside Cincy community!
