Who we are
We are The Social Collective — a growing community of women who believe in the power of connection, belonging, and shared growth.
What began as one woman’s search for friendship has evolved into a collective of women who support, inspire, and celebrate one another through every season of life.
We’re the women who show up — for brunches and book clubs, for happy hours and heart-to-hearts, for laughter, growth, and new beginnings.
The Social Collective isn’t just an event group — it’s a movement. A modern sisterhood built on authenticity, kindness, and the belief that every woman deserves a place to belong.
Together, we’re redefining what community looks like — one connection at a time.
Meet the Team
Laura Ferreira Wave
Founder
Laura Ferreira Wave is a mental health professional, community builder, and the heart behind The Social Collective.
What started as her personal search for connection after moving to Port St. Lucie has grown into a thriving community of women supporting women. Guided by her passion for authenticity and belonging, Laura created The Social Collective as a space for genuine friendships, empowerment, and shared growth.
Her dream is simple — to turn moments of connection into lifelong sisterhoods and to build a legacy of women who feel seen, supported, and inspired.
Meet the Team of Ambassadors
Our Ambassadors are the heart and soul of The Social Collective.Co. They are passionate women who embody the spirit of connection, growth, and belonging. As trusted guides and inspiring leaders, they create authentic spaces where meaningful conversations flourish and genuine friendships are born.
Each ambassador brings a unique voice, perspective, and energy, helping to cultivate a thriving community where every woman feels seen, supported, and celebrated.
Together, they light the path for others to join, grow, and shine within our collective.
