Learn to set down the burden of constant overworking. Watch live coaching. Leave with ease and tenderness — without losing your edge.
About this Event

In 90 minutes, you’ll discover why being the most capable person in the room is keeping you stuck — and then watch live coaching to help you get to the other side of it.
This deeply healing experience will guide you to soften into your feminine energy, so you can feel cared for and confident, while keeping all the pieces of you that make you sharp.

You’ve always been The Sensitive One, and yet somehow you ended up as The Responsible One. How did this happen?


Your sensitivity gave you a soft spot for others’ pain, so you wanted to do whatever you could to take away their discomfort.


Despite your caring nature, you weren’t unconditionally loved for ALL of who you are — big emotions, deep thinking, and activated empathy. You had to earn approval based on relentless performance.


And now you’re so exhausted, but it’s hard to imagine a different way of doing things.


This is The Feminine Wound.


What started out as a survival skill has become your personality.


“I’ve always been an over-achiever.”

“If I don’t do it, no one else will.”

“I can’t slow down.”

“My mind is always racing.”

“If I don’t work hard, everything will fall apart.”



What would it be like to take off the mask of productivity and being in control, and discover who you truly are underneath the constant action?


Imagine how fulfilling it would feel to connect with loved ones from a place of vulnerability — where you share your struggle and receive understanding and support in return.


Your Over-Responsible training is terrified to let you go to the tender places that would actually bring aliveness, meaning, and satisfaction to your life and relationships.


And the fear has a good reason. You became disconnected from your softness because the world made you hard.


You closed your heart so you wouldn’t be disappointed by relying on someone again.


When they hurt you, you were criticized as being “too sensitive” and “too needy.”


You learned to ignore your body and your emotions because they don’t fit into a masculine corporate model of productivity and being taken seriously. [Isn’t it funny that the word ‘corporate’ comes from the word for ‘body’ (corpus), yet the modern way of working completely denies our physical needs?]


You’re exhausted, but you don’t know how to stop.



Being relentless has made you successful, but always running on empty is not going to work for much longer.


Your life is impressive, but you don’t know how to LIVE it.


There is a better way.

Part I: The Mindset Shift

(30 minutes)

I’m going to tell you everything you need to know about how to have a completely different relationship with your urge to over-function:

  • The Capacity Paradox: How being the most capable person in the room is actually draining your energy and limiting your growth.
  • The Feminine Wound: Why your nervous system can’t rest, and receiving feels selfish.
  • The key to helping your brain feel safe living in an energy of ease.
  • How to untangle your identity from how much you accomplish.
  • A super simple technique to quickly shift from seeing your inner taskmaster as an authority figure to obey (or a monster to run away from) to recognizing the worried part of you who can be comforted.
  • What becomes possible in your life when you let yourself receive tenderness, validation, and support.



Part II: Live Group Coaching

(60 minutes)

This is where the real magic happens. I’m going to coach women who volunteer live on the call.

  • Watch women having breakthroughs that you can apply to your own life.
  • Feel held, safe, warm, and connected with your soul sisters.
  • Realize you’re not alone in being a sensitive deep-thinker.
  • See the tools applied to real-life situations step-by-step, so you can feel confident running yourself through these protocols in your own life.
  • Receive love, support, and motivation from the community of strong women.


Whether you volunteer to be coached live or witness other women doing their work, you will leave knowing your next steps to heal the Feminine Wound.


This is a women’s group, open to all humans who identify as a woman (including trans and nonbinary women who resonate with women’s spaces).


Having the skill of softness will allow you to:

🌸 Enjoy real partnership that goes deeper than just logistics coordination

🌸 Receive love and appreciation instead of always being the giver

🌸 Know your heart’s desires and have the courage to speak them

🌸 Set boundaries and allow others to have their reactions

🌸 Laugh with your full joy, breathe in rejuvenation, and have creative fun

🌸 Deepen surface-level relationships

🌸 Regulate your emotions to feel more calm and in control

🌸 Love yourself for who you are, instead of what you can do



What You’ll Walk Away With


This workshop will be HIGHLY valuable. You’re going to leave with the blueprint for:


👉🏼 A Nurturing Relationship with Yourself, where you treat yourself like an asset instead of being a relentless task manager.


👉🏼 Attunement to Your Inner Compass, so your body can guide you to a balanced time investment for work, rest, play, and connection.


👉🏼 Permission to Want What You Want, so you can say YES to your authentic desires and NO to running yourself ragged.


👉🏼 Masterful Thinking where you embrace the complexity of staying strong AND feeling soft, setting boundaries AND staying connected, being productive AND asking for help.


👉🏼 Breaking Intergenerational Trauma Cycles that say a woman’s worth is only found in what she does for others, so you can be an example for those who come after you.


👉🏼 A Powerful Perspective Shift to use Alignment as Fuel, so you can stop using blood, sweat, and tears to make progress — and instead align with intelligent cycles of feminine manifestation.


👉🏼 Trusting the Process, so you can balance taking action and surrendering.


👉🏼 Letting Life Be Easier by going to the root issue and calming the part of you who keeps taking on more than you can handle.
