WE’RE NOT JUST MAKING

WOMEN’S HISTORY.

WE’RE RESHAPING  YOUR FUTURE.

THE SHIFT | Unmuted & Untamed: Reclaiming the Whole Woman Exciting Highlights:

“This isn’t a spa talk. This is a power session.”.

Tackles real, often unspoken issues: menopause, hormones, burnout, emotional battles.

Focuses on soul-deep healing, full-body wellness, and reclaiming wholeness.

Declares: Wellness is wealth. Rest is resistance.

Equips women to own their voice, their body, and their care—inside and out.

This session dares to go where most don’t—deep into the realities of womanhood, aging, health, and leadership. It’s about shifting from silent suffering to bold self-ownership and unapologetic wellness.

Breakout #1:

Queens & Capital | Building Wealth, Power, and Freedom Without Apology

Led by: Spring Eatmon, Victoria Le

“You were born to reign, not just survive.” – Empowering, royal mindset.

Focus on ownership, financial sovereignty, and legacy—not just survival.

Redefines wealth as a lifestyle, leadership, and liberation tool.

“When women own their wealth, they own their voice, their choices, and their future.”

This session flips the script on financial fear and playing small. It’s about building empires, rewriting generational narratives, and empowering women to lead through wealth with no apologies.

Breakout #2:

The Perfect Stride | Owning Your Voice in the Age of AI

Led by: Christine Duque

“This is not about coding—it’s about conquering fear and reclaiming relevance.”

Demystifies AI while empowering women to stay essential, authentic, and irreplaceable.

Highlights tools like ChatGPT to amplify voice and scale leadership.

Emphasizes the balance between intuition and intelligence.

AI is here—and this session equips women to lead through it, not fear it. It’s about using the tools without losing your truth, staying visible, and walking confidently into a tech-driven future.

Breakout #3:

Hustle and Harmony | Breaking Up with Burnout and Falling in Love with Boundaries

Led by: Amy Smith Green

“You don’t have to trade your ambition for peace—you just need a better strategy.”

Calls out burnout culture, imposter syndrome, and the myth of ‘doing it all.’

Reframes boundaries as strategy, not selfishness.

Offers real tools: scripts, mindset shifts, energy management, and emotional clarity.

This session is for the woman who’s driven but depleted. It’s a radical realignment of ambition with wellness, giving her the tools to lead from overflow—not exhaustion—and rise with purpose, not pressure.

“You’re not here just to build a business.

You’re here to build a legacy.”

 — Scharrell Jackson, Founder, Leadership in Heels

What’s coming next will shift the atmosphere. Break generational cycles. And unlock a version of you that hustle alone can’t reach.

This One Day Will Redefine

YOUR NEXT DECADE

  • How to build & sustain wealth even when the economy shakes

  • How to hustle with harmony (yes, it's possible)

  • How to lead yourself first—without guilt

  • How to silence doubt and make unapologetic, strategic moves

  • You’ll leave unrecognizable. Sharper. Bolder. Higher.

What to expect on the day
