A cozy gathering for doers, dreamers, and burnt-out brilliance.
Welcome to Soft Pants, Big Dreams
Rising From the Ashes
I’ve worn a lot of hats, and, frankly, too many masks. Survival mode can look like nailing the big presentation while your joints and or muscles scream, or swapping GIFs or memes while panic does somersaults behind your rib cage.
Domestic violence? Survivor.
Chronic illness? Warrior.
Mental health? It’s a journey.
Childhood scars? Healing.
Toxic workplaces and burnout? Recovering, thanks.
My breaking point hit in 2023 while working in big techbody, mind, spirit: all systems down. The layoff that followed felt like the end of everything. Until I fell even harder. Sometimes you have to fall a long way and hit the ground hard in order to soar higher than you thought possible. Now I work with amazing people to help elevate others and help them succeed!
The Approach
Soft Pants, Big Dreams—a cozy, transformational 5 days where we trade our survival masks for stretchy waistbands and real talk. I’m teaming up with brilliant women who’ve walked their own fires, and we’re inviting you to:
- Rest without apology
- Craft fun projects (affirmation cards or crystal art grid anyone?)
- Fireside intimate conversations on a variety of topics
- 1:1 Coaching sessions
- Sample gentle wellness tools like Reiki, breathwork, guided meditation, and sound healing. Reiki is optional but encouraged if curious. Zero pressure, all curiosity.
- Plenty of time to yourself to be in the moment and environment
If your heart whispered “yes” as you read this, snag a spot. Let’s heal, laugh, snack, and dream up our next chapters, soft-pants style.
See you by the fire,
