Janice Darmody
Real Estate Consultant, e-Merge Real Estate Champions
Owner, HeartHome Properties, LLC
Founder, She's Simply Connected
Janice Darmody is a heart-centered entrepreneur, real estate consultant, and the visionary behind She’s Simply Connected — a welcoming community for professional women and women owned businesses who believe in growing together.
Rooted in her own story of resilience and reinvention, Janice’s journey began with a simple dream: to own a home. Raised in a family that always rented, she bought her first house after college and later sold it for double its value. That experience became more than a financial win — it ignited her purpose to help others create their own version of success, especially through the power of ownership and connection.
She’s Simply Connected was born from that same mission — to bring women together not just to network, but to build meaningful relationships, exchange ideas, and uplift one another in both life and business. While based in Mansfield, OH, the spirit of the group is open, inclusive, and ever-evolving. Whether you're just starting out in your career or a seasoned entrepreneur, this is a space where every woman is seen, heard, and supported.

Kodi Wieland
Horticulturalist, Kingwood Center Gardens
Hospitality, She's Simply Connected
I'm a horticulturalist at Kingwood Center Gardens, where I get to play in the dirt professionally - planting, nurturing, and occasionally talking to plants (they're great listeners). For the past three years, I've been helping others grow their green thumbs by selling plants and sharing gardening know-how. I have a particular love for the serenity and design of Japanese and Chinese gardens- where art, nature, and architecture mingle in perfect harmony (and moss is always welcome). When I'm not tending to the flora, I'm soaking up time with my family and passing on a love of nature to my daughter- one muddy footprint at a time.
My Services Include:
Kingwood Center Gardens is renowned for its distinctive floral displays, unique plant specimens, woodland trails, historic mansion and gardens, display greenhouse, duck pond, and peacocks.
