The All-Access 6-Month Coaching Experience + In-Person Retreat

For big-hearted, ambitious women who are ready to
reclaim their well-being and their power -
both personally and professionally.

yellow-line

As ambitious, big-hearted women, we feel the pressure to do and be all the things...

— Chart a successful career path, make a notable impact, be a reliable colleague, nurture meaningful relationships, show up for our family, be a devoted partner and parent, give back to causes that matter, oh and carve out time for hobbies that make us more relaxed and interesting (?)...

Let's be real: We’re overwhelmed, overworked, and overstretched… yet we're conditioned to believe that WE are the problem. That WE are not enough...

What if...

The only thing that was ever wrong with you was the belief that there was something wrong with you?

What if...

the hardest parts of the work-life juggle didn't have to be the loneliest or most stressful parts, but the clues that unlocked the most aligned  & rewarding season of your life and career yet?

Imagine what it would feel like to
*consistently* plug into:

community

An intimate, judgment-free community of powerhouse women who *get it*

and who want to help you navigate the conversations and dynamics that keep you up at night. Think: an on-demand support system to help you untangle the absurdity and complexity of life and work - with deep compassion, actionable strategy, and a sense of humor.

brave

A BRAVE space to release old patterns and upgrade your self-perception

so that you can finally make peace with the mode of operating that got you here (thank you younger self!), and let go of the people-pleasing, perfectionism, and approval-seeking that makes you clench for control and certainty instead of flow with trust and curiosity.

powerhouse

A VIBE that soothes your nervous system and reinforces your confidence

because "we don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are." What if you made space to connect with yourself and the *quiet wisdom* that lives beneath the noise and chaos of your never-ending to-do list? What might that do for your confidence, self-trust, and personal power?

ignite

An endless supply of practical tools and soul-nourishing mentorship

to help you own your voice, your ambition, and your magic! What if you could pave a new, liberating way of navigating life and leadership for you and generations of women to come.

You Don’t Have to Hold Up the Sky Alone

It’s time to let yourself be deeply supported and empowered in community!

This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to combine actionable skill-building with deep inner work - to activate the highest expression of yourself – both personally and professionally.

Here's what you'll receive inside The Inner Circle:

Six Months of LIVE Coaching Support + an In-Person Retreat to step out of your daily life and steep yourself in an environment that deeply nourishes and expands you.

the 3 themes we'll be digging into...

(as they connect to our core pillars of
Leadership, Communication, & Confidence)

4
  • SERIES 1:
    Rooted Alignment


    It's time to shift out of limiting perceptions and into a truer, more empowering perspective. We'll dig into the values and aspirations that motivate you in this season of your life, so you can show up in all of your relationships and responsibilities with sturdiness and unwavering devotion to what matters most.
3
  • SERIES 2:
    Embodied Expansion


    You are meant for more. MORE peace, MORE fun, MORE impact, and MORE self-compassion! To have this kind of "more," it's time to stop holding up the sky with one hand tied behind your back. It's time to build your capacity to hold complexity, to accept support, and to embody your full range with ease and confidence.
2
  • SERIES 3:
    Permission to Bloom


    What if honoring every part of you was all you needed to bust out of cultural conditioning, and blossom into the most extraordinary, fully expressed YOU, you could ever be? It's time to let yourself rise and thrive as a richly-resourced, unapologetically competent, vibrant, self-honoring woman - perhaps the first in your family line.

... our conversations are not only wildly inspiring and practical, but good for the soul!

Throughout this transformative 3-day experience we will:

Root into our bodies and the core of our intuitive wisdom

Dropping in, beneath our big, busy minds to a quieter space within. We'll reconnect with our 5 senses, and a profound sense of presence, so we can access our truest desires and set intentions from there.

Release the stories and modes of operating that no longer serve us

Surrounded by big-hearted, perceptive women who are inherently inspiring, you'll feel safe and empowered to let go of "one day..." thinking, and step boldly into new habits and possibilities.

Reclaim our unapologetic power

And the potency of our impact. With the vibe we'll be resourcing throughout our weekend together, you will have no choice but to think of yourself as someone who is not only deserving, but deeply capable of reclaiming her well-being and her personal power in every area of her life. 

Return to our deepest knowing and to what *truly* matters

Like a personal homecoming, you'll return to who you are underneath all your roles and responsibilities - clear on how to lead through complexity, prioritize like a mother, and cherish the miracle of your one, wild and precious life.

You will be nourished by beautiful food and surrounded by incredible company
in a cozy, elevated atmosphere.

Additional surprise guests will lead us in guided breath work,
intuitive movement, stress release exercises, and more.

it's your turn to be taken care of!

no chores, no to-do lists, no need to lift a finger.

The next step in your personal journey

Your Presence Under Pressure experience highlighted the importance of carving out protected time for yourself and your development each week.

And not just your professional development, but your personal well-being.

Now you know what's possible for your inner calm and confidence when you commit to learning and growing within a community that's rooting for you.

And not just rooting for you, but resourcing your GREATEST ASSETS

—your voice, your confidence, your intuition, and your power!

The Inner Circle takes your personal learning and transformation to the next level.

It is the number one way I know how to help you show up in your personal and professional relationships from a place of OVERFLOW and ALIGNMENT, instead of overwhelm and isolation. It's about more than just building confidence and advancing your skills...

    It's about radically accepting who you are so you can own your voice and your power from within.

    It's about exploring the type of revolutionary leadership it takes to thrive in today's complex work environments

  • check-icon

    It's about learning to network, get buy-in, or persuade others without the ick factor.

    It's about giving feedback and coaching your colleagues in a direct, but empowering way.

  • check-icon

    It's about nurturing your own triggers and knee-jerk reactions when dealing with challenging situations.

 

... and so much more.

As women, we gotta break out of our cultural conditioning to people-please and play small…

So that we can embody real, grounded confidence
from the inside out.

And there's no reason to go at it alone...

The Inner Circle can't wait to support you and bring out the best in you!

hi-brenne

(like Brenda without the "da") and I'm a communication educator, leadership mentor, and confidence coach to thousands of leaders and emerging leaders around the world.

In 2018 (~6 years after returning home from the national tour of a Broadway musical and pivoting from my acting career into the world of coaching  - a story for another time!), I kept butting up against a familiar impulse to PROVE myself.

Despite all the training I'd received as a coach, and the experience I'd accumulated as a workshop facilitator, I still felt like I had to "prove" my own credibility and confidence when I entered a room. The irony was that it was also my job to teach people how to project credibility and confidence...

I knew that coaching and empowering others was the path for me, but I also knew that if I was going to continue down this path, I had to:

⚡️ STOP abandoning myself to act like some perfect, polished person I thought I should be

⚡️ and START trusting myself to show up as the intrinsically powerful (and yes, imperfect) person I am.

I became determined to figure out for myself and others how to show up (and speak up!) in nerve-wracking situations with more authenticity and ease.

So after hundreds of hours of research, I developed a holistic curriculum to help big-hearted go-getters like you and me build confident communication skills from the inside out.

Not by faking it 'til we make it, but by embracing how we're wired, leveraging actionable strategies, and honoring our unique gifts.

l use SelfSpoken techniques to turn my own panic into power and everyday pressures into presence.

Like all of us, I'm a work in progress. But when the waves of adrenaline or the whispers of self-doubt inevitably flood my system, I take comfort in knowing how to find my own authentic sweet spot:

That empowering and fulfilling experience of being able to ground myself under pressure and express myself with integrity and confidence.
