The Invitation

An intimate afternoon for women who have given this year everything they had.

December arrives, and most senior women do the same thing: They keep pushing, keep delivering, keep holding it all together, right up until the moment they collapse into the holidays completely spent. The diary fills up, the to-do list doesn’t shorten, and the idea of pausing feels like a luxury that belongs to someone else.

The Me4Me Luncheon exists to interrupt that pattern. Five unhurried hours to exhale before the finish line, to celebrate what you’ve genuinely built this year, and to step into the holiday season restored rather than running on empty. In a room of women who understand the level you’re operating at, without performing or proving a single thing.

You’ve given this year everything you had. Give yourself this afternoon.

Is this you?

Madeline McQueen
  • You've led brilliantly all year and want a space to recognise, collate and celebrate your achievements.
  • You give generously to everyone around you but you've slowly dropped off your own list somewhere along the way.
  • You want to be in a room with senior women who understand the weight of the role, without any need to explain yourself.
  • You know you deserve a proper send-off for your year, and you haven't made space to give yourself one.
  • You want to step into the holidays feeling restored, celebrated and whole, rather than depleted and behind.
  • You want to close the year with intention and healthy boundaries, not just relief that it's nearly over.

You deserve to close the year well, not just relieved it's over. 

The Afternoon

Five hours. Beautifully spent.

This is not a workshop. It is not a networking event. It is five hours of champagne, beautiful food, genuine connection, and an experience that leaves you feeling exactly as you should heading into the holiday season.

Arrival — Champagne & Canapés

Arrive at midday to a warm welcome, champagne, and canapés. Time to breathe, settle, and meet the women in the room before the afternoon begins.

Activation — The Send-Off Begins

The afternoon opens with a short, powerful activation to help you set down the weight of the year, arrive fully, and remember what this year has actually held for you.

Three-Course Sharing Lunch

The heart of the afternoon. Unhurried, beautiful food, real conversation, and the kind of honesty that only happens when senior women stop performing and start talking. Linger here… that’s the point.

A Celebration in Your Hands

A guided creative experience to help you hold your year, honour it, and take something tangible with you into the new one. You’ll leave with more than you arrived with. We’ll say no more than that.

The Closing Moment

There is a moment at the end of this afternoon that we don’t describe in advance. Women who have been before know exactly what we mean. Come ready to receive.

Farewells

A toast, a group photograph, and warm goodbyes. You leave restored, celebrated, and ready for whatever the holiday season and 2027 have waiting for you.

“My heart is still full…You did it again, Madeline McQueen, thank you, thank you! To all the beautiful ladies in the room, keep wearing that crown!”

“It was my first time going to this luncheon and definitely will be keeping this as an important event to make sure I attend in the future. It was wonderful to be included in such an esteemed group of women and to be able to eat, drink, and be merry while making plans for the future”
