Do you feel a burning passion to share your story, message, mission in a way that changes lives?
Do you know you have a book in you but feel overwhelmed about how to start, to write/publish it –
(and worry about what your family or friends will think once you do?)
Do you worry that another year will go by and you won’t get your mission out into the world- that you won’t make the bigger impact you know you’re here to make?
Do you feel overwhelmed about how to find, inspire and provide transformation for the people you are here to serve?
If you’re reading this, likely you have been tapped by the BIG MAGIC. You have a calling to play, write, create and lead bigger this year.
Maybe you have been called to:
Get Clear and feel confident articulating your mission and message
Write and publish a bestselling book
Speak on conference stages
Give a TEDx talk
Find and serve the people you are here to inspire
Help even one person who was suffering
If you’ve felt the calling to even one of these goals, join us for this transformational 3-Day Retreat where I will show you exactly how I and hundreds of our clients have done all of these things.
You are capable, worthy, important- beyond words.
You are the only one who can bring the message you hold inside you.
There is someone sitting somewhere right now- praying for help, needing your story, your insight, your vision.
What if, instead of putting off your goals and your calling, instead of wrestling with fear, and listening to those self-doubting thoughts- you could connect to your soul, choose your next big idea, blast through those limiting thoughts, be filled with inspiration and guidance, and make a huge leap the work you are here to share?
In years past, women who attended this retreat:
Got clear and felt confident articulating their mission and message
Wrote and published bestselling books
Spoke on conference stages and virtual events- touching people around the world
Gave TEDx talks
Started movements
Helped even one person who was suffering
The world needs your story and mission:
But what if I don’t feel like a “real” writer, never think of myself as a “thought leader”, certainly not the leader of a movement!
I hear you! My calling started with an incessant pull to write a book and I did not feel worthy or capable of fulfilling that goal.
Here’s what was in my head: (any of this sound familiar?)
“Who am I to write a book?”
“I’m not a trained writer- I don’t know what I’m doing”
“Speaking on stages and TEDx is for experts- I’m not an expert”
“I don’t like the spotlight”
“I’m terrified of being judged”
“I don’t even like social media- I can’t imagine building a platform, audience”
“I feel unworthy”
The only way we can overcome this gap (which leads to pay gaps and other inequality for women) is to join together.
Now is your time. You’re Invited! Join us October 6-8, 2021 for WOMEN STARTING MOVEMENTS LIVE. In this truly spectacular “vortex” you’ll connect with a dynamic group of individuals on a mission to transform and inspire others as we come together to deepen, expand, and more fully unleash our positive impact on the world.
If you truly clarified your vision, unleashed your story, and became the author and thought leader you are here to be, you could join our clients and:
At this retreat you will specifically:
Release fears of visibility, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and what others will think
Clarify your mission and movement
Learn the four pillars of Thought Leadership
Published Writing
Speaking
Audience Building/Expansion
Creating transformational products and programs
And how to put them into action to exponentially increase your impact and income.
