You have built a beautiful life. A career. A family. A business. A reputation. A home. Maybe all of the above. You know how to make things happen. But lately, there’s a question you can’t quite shake: What do I want now? Maybe you’re wondering if you can really see yourself in this job five years from now. Maybe you got the promotion, built the business, had the baby —and instead of feeling complete, you hear a whisper: There’s something more for you. Not because what you have is wrong or bad, but because something is changing. And even if it doesn’t make sense why, you can sense that. Evolve is a place to give that something your attention. Over two immersive days, you’ll step away from the noise of your everyday life and into a carefully curated experience designed to help you question what no longer fits, reconnect with what you actually want, and leave with clarity on your next right step.

Evolve is for the woman who’s evolving how she shows up in the world

And knows the importance of taking excellent care of herself in that process

You know the value of taking time away, and of getting in the room

You know you don’t need more information, more podcasts or late night chats with Claude

You crave thoughtfully designed space to let what wants to come through come through you

You don’t want someone else to follow

You want a mirror

A space that will reflect your vision so clearly back to you 

That what is no longer aligned easily falls away

And where what comes next becomes obvious

the experience

It's a perfect East Coast fall morning. The sun is shining, but the air feels crisper, cooler than it did just two weeks ago. You pull up to The Grounds, and almost immediately you feel yourself exhale. Once you've crossed the threshold, it's as though you've walked into a different world — an oasis of nature, art, and healing, just 30 minutes outside of DC.

You take a few minutes to grab a cup of coffee or tea on the deck and fall into the most serendipitous conversation with a woman you've just met but feel like you could have known for years.

Time expands over the next two days. You feel so nourished by the fresh air, delicious organic food, and honest conversations. You've moved your body and meditated more than a typical weekday — and you're reminded how good it feels. You've been outside more too: some workshops in the open-air studio, some in the glass greenhouse, some right in the garden. You've gotten friendly with the llamas and the fluffy sheepdog.

The answer to the question you've been asking yourself came through during the Shibori dye class. Are you surprised? Not really. But it still feels magic that this gets to be how and where your idea comes to life.

Oh, and you've met the most interesting, incredible women — doing work connected to yours, doing things you didn't even know were careers, changing the world through their communities and families. You're leaving with at least three new real friends who get you and where you're going.

In the closing circle you get that bittersweet feeling. You’ve come to love this place, these women, these conversations so much over the last two days, you’re sad for it to end. And at the same time, you’re excited and ready to take what you’ve gotten clarity on and put it into action.

This is a closing but it’s also the beginning of this new chapter, these new relationships, this next evolution for you.

included

you’ll walk away with

a Reignited relationship with your Intuition

So when you feel the ping, the pull, the inner yes, you both know how to hear it and trust yourself enough to follow it. Not just once at the retreat, but again and again as each next right step reveals the one after that.

Crystal-clear clarity on your next right step

You’ll leave knowing what is yours to do next, why it matters, and how to keep listening as the path continues to unfold beneath your feet.

Tools you can return to again and again

You’ll walk away with the exact practices and tools to return to whenever the world gets loud, you start to question your path, or a new whisper begins.

A renewed current of creativity

You’ll remember how it feels to feel so lit up by what you’re doing, and so clear on how to stay tapped into that source of aliveness no matter what life or leadership brings your way. 

Real connections with extraordinary women

Women who understand what it means to be accomplished and still be evolving. Women who will celebrate the brave move, send the thoughtful introduction, who you can call for the coffee date and who will cheer you on as what you want becomes real.

Feminine Leadership Coach, Mother of 2

For over a decade, I’ve supported women through major career changes, business launches, motherhood, personal losses, leadership expansions, and more. I’ve said that I’m a doula for your dreams & creative callings because the essence of my work is just that: holding women as they conceive and birth something new. 

I know this territory professionally. And I know it personally.

Most recently, I found myself feeling stuck in life I had worked very hard to build. I had created a successful online coaching business. I was the breadwinner for my young family. I had a powerful body of work and the 7 figure vision for where the business could go next.

Then I had my daughter. And almost overnight, my dream began to change.

First, it was quiet. Just a whisper. But then came the launch that cracked me open. My team and I designed a generous offer around the Thanksgiving holiday. A vault of my best courses for just $99. It was supposed to be the easy sale. One single person (my friend) bought our offer.

It was that moment that I finally stopped trying to make the dream work. And instead started asking: Is this still my dream? Is this really how I want to be spending my time? The answer was no. 

I had been trying to change the strategy around the dream.

What I needed was enough space to reimagine the dream itself.

So I got to work, leading myself through the Dream Catcher process I’ve led dozens and dozens of women through. 

What I realized is that I didn’t want to spend my next year tinkering with online offers. I wanted to write the book I had been talking about for years and host a local retreat. I wanted more time with my children. More quiet. More in person community after years of priding myself on my global network and reach. More gatherings in gardens and fewer days spent entirely on Zoom.

Six months later I am living that dream. My dream. The book is nearing completion (and will be in your hands at Evolve!!) and the retreat is, well, this. My husband went back to work full time, and I’m spending more of my days in nature, with my kids, while prioritizing the creative callings that truly light me up. I have more local friends than I’ve had in years, and I know this is just the beginning of this bigger evolution for me. 

We are living in extraordinary times and now, more than ever, women are feeling called to birth the new. What worked before isn’t what's ahead, and that’s a good thing. 

What I know from all these years of experience, and what my latest evolution has made so abundantly clear to me as well is this: The deepest answers are rarely found by reaching farther outside ourselves. They are found by intentionally, consistently going within.

This does not mean you have to navigate change alone. You get to be richly supported and deeply held, and have FUN in the process. Which is exactly why this retreat came into being. It would be my my pleasure and honor to hold space for your evolution at Evolve this fall. 

You’ll arrive with a whisper pulling at your heart.

You’ll leave crystal clear on your next right step.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Not specifically. Your business or career may be part of what you explore, but we focus first on the life you want to live and creatively what you are being called towards. Your creative calling may or may not be directly connected to your current work or business. 

  • No. You may be considering a career pivot, business evolution, change in how you work, creative project, leadership shift, or something you cannot yet name.

    Evolve is for the woman who can feel that something is changing and wants dedicated space to listen.

  • You will leave with clarity on your next right step and practices for continuing to listen, discern, and move. The essence of an evolution is that it does take time. But we will get you clear on your path and rooted into practices & people that will support you in continuing on your way after our time together is done. 

  • Evolve is designed for thoughtful, self-aware, action-oriented women who have already built meaningful lives and are ready to give serious attention to what they want now. You do not need to have everything figured out. You do need to be willing to participate, reflect, connect, and take responsibility for what you do with what you discover.

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO QUESTION THE DREAM

Even the one you worked hard for. Even the one other people would be thrilled to have. Even the one you once wanted with your whole heart.

You are allowed to evolve.

You are allowed to want differently. You are allowed to make room for questions before you have answers. And you are allowed to take those questions seriously before your life has to fall apart to justify asking them.


For two days, step outside the noise. Come gather the threads. Come listen. Come remember what you know. And leave ready to take the next right step
