Redefining Performance: A Workshop for Women Entrepreneurs

A session for women who are running businesses, wearing every hat, and feeling the weight of expectations… inside and out.

This experience creates a safe, supportive space to step back from the pressure to perform and reconnect with the entrepreneur you want to be.

What we’ll explore:

The many roles women entrepreneurs carry and why it feels like too much
The pressure to “do it all,” “be available,” and “keep growing”
How perfectionism, urgency, comparison, and guilt show up in our work
The masks we wear to feel “enough” in business
The beliefs and advice that no longer serve us
How to soften internal pressure and build a more sustainable way of working

What this workshop feels like:

Playful, creative activities that help you see your patterns differently
Honest conversations with women who get what entrepreneurship really is
Gentle, reflective moments to reconnect with your values and your capacity
A reset from the noise of hustle culture
Zero judgment—just truth, humour, and relief

You’ll leave with:

Clarity about the pressures shaping your business decisions
New ways of thinking about growth, rest, and sustainability
Practical shifts you can make without burning out
A renewed sense of possibility for your business and for yourself
Permission to work in a way that honours your energy, not just your output

Most of all...

You’ll walk away remembering that you don’t have to earn your worth through exhaustion.

There is another way to lead, build, and grow without losing yourself in the process.

Many health insurance plans reimburse part of the training fee. Contact me for more details!
