Welcome to Catalyst
A transformative community for women small business owners
Meet Catalyst: The small biz community that has your back.
Imagine a thriving online community of creative, driven, and compassionate women small business owners who truly get it.
This is Catalyst.
Together, we share ongoing accountability, strength-building, encouragement, and connection as we navigate the natural ups & downs of entrepreneurship. 💪🏼
Catalyst brings together three key ingredients:
- Ongoing Coaching & Mentorship
- Community Connection
- Powerful Resources, Tools, and Tips
Led by multi-passionate entrepreneur Bailey Aro Hutchence (that's me!), I bring to the table 16+ years of business ownership across multiple industries.
At my core, I believe...
- Everything is figureoutable.
- We aren't meant to hustle our way to the grave.
- The magic happens when we're fully aligned with our purpose.
My most memorable growth moments have come from connecting with people who've been there and truly get it.
That's why I created Catalyst.
United by our powerful monthly call, weekly office hours, discussion threads, and an ever-growing library of tools & resources, Catalyst is designed to be the spark that ignites your biggest, boldest dreams. ✨
Here's what you'll find in Catalyst:
👯♀️ A supportive crew of like-minded women who understand the unique challenges of entrepreneurship.
🧡 An encouraging sounding board for your ideas, dreams, and challenges.
🦉 Words of wisdom from those who've been there.
⭐️ A Monthly Group Call with Bailey focused on the monthly topic/theme
☕️ Weekly Office Hours: A casual, drop-in event where you can share current challenges, seek advice, connect with members, and get coached (days + times vary each week)
📚 An ever-growing Resource Library, featuring workbooks, tutorials, templates, videos, podcasts, and more, tailor-made to support your business growth & personal development.
✨ Inspiration to keep you motivated when you feel stuck.
💪🏼 Confidence-building exercises & tools for your back pocket.
📣 Ongoing accountability from your very own posse of small biz cheerleaders
- 🌿 Plus, opportunities to dive deeper (think 1:1 coaching, courses, fun challenges, maybe even a future retreat?!)

Why Bailey?
If I had a résumé, it would say...
16+ years of experience as an entrepreneur
Founder of several small businesses within multiple industries (including White Spruce Market, Cedar Bound, and Bailey Aro Photography)
Chapter Founder & Former Leader of Rising Tide Duluth, an empowering community for creative small business owners
8 years of experience as a Mentor & Business Coach
Apart from the wisdom & experience I've gained over the past 16 years...
- I love meeting small business owners right where they are & taking them on a journey.
- I thrive helping others create & execute strategic plans based on their vision (while having fun along the way!).
- I take a more holistic approach to coaching & mentorship, focusing on the whole person. Not just the business owner, but the friend, the partner, the mom, the human.
- I'm an open book, sharing refreshing honesty about rejection, failure, wins, and everything between.
- I'm not afraid to be the fire under your butt when needed. 😉
- I believe the magic happens in between: Once you've met with the coach, connected with small biz friends, or taken a course -- the positive ripple effects accumulate over time as your newfound wisdom starts to integrate. That's why an ongoing Catalyst membership is so powerful!
