A Small Circle of Women Just Like You
The Invitation
Sometimes you have to leave your life to remember it's yours.
Almost every woman I work with is quietly worn out from constantly being “on.” One version of herself for work. Another for her kids. Another who shows up when it’s time to be social. Another that holds it together so nobody worries and no balls are dropped. And somewhere in there, the real her went quiet.
I built this weekend so you can put all of that down. You don’t perform. You don’t manage what anyone thinks. You don’t earn your place. You show up as you, and get to feel what that’s like when it’s met with love instead of judgment.
The reason being yourself feels scary is simple. Deep down, it’s normal to question who you are and if you are truly enough. It may show up as conscious thought or merely as subconscious programming. But we all do it! Yet none of us ever talk about that. We all worry what others think, how we will be perceived, and worse — we all tend to criticize ourselves! No wonder you haven’t felt safe to be unapologetically yourself and show up fully in your life.
This is the opportunity for just that. Come. Be You. Explore what that means and what it feels like. Be seen. Be celebrated. Be supported. Be nourished, loved, and deeply cared for. All by a community of like-minded incredible women just like you who get it.
You were put here to be
you.
Every time you shrink, or hide, or tiptoe, the world gets less of your light.
Who This Weekend Is For
You don't need it all figured out. You just need the desire.
This is for you if you look like you have it all together on the outside, but you know on the inside that you don’t. We all have work to do — at the end of the day, we’re all in various stages of holding ourselves back from our dreams and playing full out in life. This retreat was built for those who know they are meant for more. More than mediocre. More than just “ok” or “good.” It was built for those whose light is too bright to stay dimmed, whose heart is too loving to stay closed, whose passion and gifts are too valuable not to be shared, whose purpose on earth is too big for them to remain small.
I see you — the real you, the whole you.
And I want to help you overcome wherever fear or trepidation has been holding you back:
- In your relationships, where you shrink to keep the peace
- In your work, where you hold back the magic that is yours
- In your parenting, where you pour out long before you pour in
- In your body, where you're still waiting to feel like yourself
- In the quiet knowing that you're not where you thought you'd be
Come with something to work on. Maybe something you want that you keep avoiding, maybe a pattern you’re aware of and want to break, or a dream you want to manifest. Come open, come curious, come ready to unlock a whole new world for yourself — and to meet the soul sisters you never knew you had.

The House
Your Place to Call Home
We’re in a private home up in the North Carolina mountains of Asheville. Big, gorgeously and luxuriously designed rooms to be together in, quiet corners to disappear into, a hot tub, a sauna, a firepit, unbelievable views and sunsets, a home gym, and even a speakeasy lounge equipped with a pool table and karaoke stage just waiting to be played in. You walk in, and something in you exhales. And then you meet the other women there, and something in you lights up. That’s the point.
Hot tub ✦ Sauna ✦ Mountain views ✦ Spacious gathering rooms ✦ Private bedrooms ✦ Room to be alone
About Your Guide
I'm Amanda.
I didn’t start out coaching emotional patterns and self-trust. Before I was a coach, I was a lawyer. On paper, it looked like I’d made it. Underneath, I was sick, anxious, and completely lost. What I didn’t realize was that all of these feelings were simply a manifestation of being disconnected from myself. I kept hunting for the fix outside of me. A better doctor. A better plan. More discipline. More “success.” More proving myself. None of it worked.
What finally changed things was a question: what am I actually desiring, and how can I cultivate it within me? The answer was to come home to myself. Everything I do now started there. I work with women who’ve gone to doctors, done the therapy, tried the programs, built the life they thought they wanted, and still feel off. And with each and every one, I help them find their way back to themselves.
Here’s what I know, after all of it. The behavior isn’t the problem. The patterns you’ve fallen into aren’t the problem. Even the “problem” you think you have isn’t the problem.
Your relationship to yourself, and how your nervous system has been wired to protect you — that’s what requires examining. And that’s the work we’ll do together. In one house, over three days.
“She has gently guided me toward healing, helping me untangle old wounds and return to the truest version of myself. I’m making lasting changes that feel rooted and real.”
