The drive that propelled you to the top—your resilience, problem-solving abilities, and capacity to navigate life under stress—emerged from early life experiences that shaped you into a high achiever. These traits served you well in building your success, but they also came with hidden costs.

In this workshop, participants will explore the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) studies, revealing how early experiences shape entrepreneurial success while often leading to anxiety, depression, and physical health challenges later in life. You’ll understand these patterns and their impact on your current wellbeing as you develop new approaches for your next chapter.

Even those who "have it all" often find themselves overriding their deepest truths—making decisions from fear rather than alignment, prioritizing others' reactions over their own wisdom, and saying “yes” when they mean “no.” In this exclusive workshop, you'll explore how patterns of self-betrayal emerge from deeper sources, including imposter syndrome, shame, and emotional avoidance. Through guided discovery, you'll learn to transform your relationship with yourself and free the leader within.

In this discovery workshop, participants explore the hidden ways we betray ourselves to maintain relationships. Through guided exploration, you'll uncover where you've lost connection with yourself and examine the patterns that keep you stuck. This workshop creates a safe container for honest self-examination, helping you recognize where you've stopped being truthful—and how to foster better alignment.

We can't know where we’re going until we understand how we got here. In this immersive retreat, participants will gain a new understanding of their journey through a process of discovery and exploration. You’ll make meaning of your life experiences, reconnect with your deepest self, and build new possibilities for your future. This retreat creates the space to crack wide open and begin again.
