Don't miss this intimate Happy Women Dinners gathering with Cecily Mak: mother, attorney, investor, advocate, and author of Undimmed, a revolutionary guide to living with clarity and courage.
As we step into a new year, many of us feel the familiar pressure to set harsh resolutions or reinvent ourselves overnight. Instead, this evening invites a gentler beginning—one rooted in presence rather than perfection, and in choosing what helps us feel more alive, not less.
When Cecily decided to take a break from drinking, she wasn’t struggling with addiction, she was longing for clarity. Her story reveals how easily we use subtle “dimmers” to take the edge off: wine, overworking, productivity, scrolling, even wellness practices. They help us avoid discomfort… but they also mute our joy, intuition, and creativity.
What to Expect
In this deeply connective dinner experience, Cecily will share the heart of Undimmed and introduce her Eight Awarenesses. These gentle, powerful principles are designed to help us:
Recognize the habits that dim our inner light
Explore the “why” beneath our behaviors
Reclaim clarity, empowerment, and agency
Choose freedom over autopilot
Embrace the full spectrum of our human experience
Together around the table, we’ll explore what it means to start the year with a commitment to seeing ourselves clearly, honoring what we truly need, and living undimmed.
This is not a conversation about sobriety.
It’s a conversation about aliveness.
Each ticket includes dinner and a signed copy of Cecily's new book Undimmed.
