A six-week cohort for women ready to stop performing and start being who they actually are — before the next chapter begins.
August 14 – September 18 · Fridays · 9am PT / 12pm ET · Small women-only cohort · $700
You know exactly who you are — or at least, you used to. Somewhere along the way you got very good at being who everyone needed you to be, and a little out of practice at being yourself. That's what this is for.
Because this is the era where we're all being called forth to share our gifts, our service, our presence — in a braver, more generous way. And you can't offer what you haven't come home to.
Most of us are living a first draft written by other people. Family, friends, work, culture — they held the pen. There are so many old stories we women keep living by. This cohort is where you take the pen back and start writing a new one.
You might know this feeling:
- You’ve said yes in a meeting, a marriage, a friendship while everything in you said no — and called it being kind, or doing the right thing, or not wanting to rock any boats.
- You’re ready to step into your true soul’s service, but still feel anxiety around doing something about it ... or going to the next level
- Disappointing someone? Yeah, no — that feels like the worst.
- You’re the one everyone calls when they need something — and you can’t remember the last time you put yourself first without guilt.
- You’ve built a life that looks right from the outside and, some days, fits like a costume from the inside.
And maybe this, too: you can feel something in you ready for more — a truer kind of service, more freedom, the next thing — and you still hold yourself back. The yes is right there. You just haven't said it yet.
None of that means something is wrong. It means you've been playing a version of yourself for so long that the role started to feel like the job. And somewhere underneath it — whole and waiting — is who you actually are.
This is six weeks of honest conversation and real community...
...with other women, built around specific teachings that I've cultivated from The Freedom Transmissions — the ones that speak to inner peace, personal freedom, and living closer to who you actually are. (I might even throw in a little Bashar teachings, too!) Not a page-by-page book study — a curated coaching journey where the wisdom comes off the page and into your actual life.
You won't walk out a completely different woman (I'd be a magician if I could promise that). But you'll walk out closer — and you'll feel it as a shift in inner authority: the quiet sense that you can be trusted to author your own life. And by the end, you won't just have met your true self. You'll have said yes to something she's been waiting for. You'll know what move you want to make next.
The Arc
We go through this in three movements, two sessions each. Get honest with yourself. Clear what's in the way. Become who you came here to be. This is the way of The Freedom Transmissions.
01 · August 14 —Who Are You, Really?: Remembering Essence (remembering who we are before the world told us who we needed to be)
02 · August 21 —Belonging to Yourself First: The End of Self-Abandonment (so boring, let's stop that)
03 · August 28 —The Mountain Inside: Seeing What's Actually in the Way (get ready to kick some things to the curb)
04 · September 4 —The Freedom of Being Exactly Who You Are: Stepping Out from Behind the Performance (raise the curtain, lift the veil, take a bow!)
05 · September 11 —The Void: Releasing What Is No Longer Tolerable or Sustainable (or even likable!)
06 · September 18 —The New Agreement: Authoring Your Next Chapter (your future self is already thanking you for saying yes)
Why Now and why "Before the Alchemy"
The Alchemy Transmissions arrives September 22. It will ask us to dissolve "servitude through suffering" and step into Divine and human co-creation. But you cannot dissolve what you cannot see, and you cannot co-create from a self you've abandoned.
This cohort builds the foundation Alchemy assumes: knowing yourself at a soul level, what stories you've been holding, and what you're ready to release. Freedom first, then alchemy.
And the timing is by design: we end on Friday, September 18 — and the book arrives the following Tuesday.
