SEMESTER ONE: JANUARY - APRIL JANUARY January 14 @ 9:00 AM PST: Workshop (90 minutes) January 19-21 & 26-28: Individual Session (Select one, 60 minutes) January Workshop: Unmasking Success: Cultivating Awareness of What’s Holding You Back Start the year by turning inward. This foundational workshop invites you to explore the beliefs, behaviours, and mindsets driving your professional success often at the cost of your well-being and career sustainability. Together, we’ll uncover how these unconscious habits—perfectionism, overachievement, analytical and critical thinking, grit, and people-pleasing—can subtly sabotage your fulfillment and sustainability. We’ll begin identifying your “Current Mode”—your automatic or subconscious patterns of being—and how it may be keeping you in survival mode. You’ll learn how to bring compassionate awareness to these tendencies, setting the stage for growth, alignment, and deeper clarity in the months ahead. As part of this reflection, you’ll also begin to locate yourself on your Heroine’s Journey. You might recognize yourself in a phase of Climb, where you’re mastering the system and learning to thrive; Disconnect, where you begin to realize that external success is no longer enough; Questioning, where you begin to question the roles or expectations that once defined you; or Inner Call, where you’re feeling a pull to slow down, reflect and reconnect with what truly matters to you. This lens can help you make sense of where you are now and what your next chapter may be asking of you. Individual Session #1: Starting Your Path This first one-on-one session is your space to begin. As you step into the Own Your Path program, this session offers a quiet, grounded moment to pause, reflect, and name what’s true for you right now. Through supportive dialogue and compassionate inquiry, we’ll explore the patterns, beliefs, and ways of being that have shaped your path to this point by celebrating what has served you and gently noticing what may now feel limiting or unsustainable. We’ll also explore where you are on your Heroine’s Journey. This narrative lens offers insight, meaning, and a sense of belonging to the process you’re in. We’ll work together to define an intention for the year ahead, something that feels authentic and aligned, a guiding thread you can return to throughout the Journey. You’ll leave with: • A clearer sense of where you are and what matters most to you now • An invitation to set an intention for your year ahead • Support in identifying focus areas that feel meaningful and self-directed FEBRUARY February 4 @ 9:00 AM PST: Meditation Session (30 minutes) February 4 @ 9:30 AM PST: Peer-Led Session (60 minutes) February 18 @ 9:00 AM PST: Workshop (90 minutes) February 25 @ 9:00 AM PST: How to Be an Ally Workshop (Optional, 90 minutes) February Workshop: From Autopilot to Awareness—Reclaiming Presence, Regulating Pressure, and Redefining Resilience In high-pressure careers like IP law, many of us are rewarded for our ability to keep going through tight deadlines, intense workloads, emotional suppression, and mental exhaustion. We’re praised for being calm under pressure, tireless in our pursuit of results, and unflinching in the face of stress. But at what cost? This workshop invites you to slow down and take a deeper look beneath the surface of your high-functioning life. Building on January’s exploration of your Current Mode, we’ll examine how perfectionism, overthinking, and overextension may have become default ways of being that once protected your success but now limit your capacity for sustainability, presence, and joy. Together, we’ll shine a light on what I like to call “toxic resilience”—the cultural and personal narratives that glorify “pushing through,” even when your body, mind, or emotions are signaling otherwise. You’ll learn how to recognize the early signs of chronic stress and disconnection and develop the inner awareness to pause before burnout takes root. At the heart of this session is a return to presence. You’ll discover how to shift out of autopilot and cultivate the capacity to regulate your thoughts, emotions, and attention so you can meet each moment with clarity, calm, and courage. This isn’t about doing less. It’s about doing differently: from a place of grounded self-leadership rather than reactivity or pressure. This workshop will help you: • Expand your awareness of your “Current Mode” and how it affects your emotional, mental, and physical well-being • Identify how chronic stress, emotional suppression, and “pushing through” may be quietly undermining your sustainability • Reconnect with the wisdom of your emotions without being hijacked by them • Develop practices for nervous system regulation, emotional steadiness, and focused attention • Reclaim presence not just as a performance tool, but as a gateway to meaning, clarity, and intentional impact You don’t have to choose between excellence and ease. This is your opportunity to build a new inner foundation—one that supports both your ambition and your well-being. When you learn to lead from presence rather than pressure, you come home to yourself and rediscover the strength that doesn’t burn you out. MARCH March 4 @ 9:00 AM PST: Meditation Session (30 minutes) March 11 @ 9:00 AM PST: Workshop (60 minutes) March 16-18 & 23-25: Individual Session (Select one, 90 minutes) March Workshop: Strong at the Core—Rewiring Your Inner Dialogue with Fierce Self-Compassion and Flexible Optimism By now, you’ve started to see your Current Mode more clearly—how your patterns of perfectionism, emotional suppression, and productivity-at-all-costs have shaped not only your success, but also your relationship with yourself. In this workshop, we’ll deepen that exploration and begin cultivating a new inner foundation—one rooted not in relentless pressure, but in fierce self-compassion and flexible optimism. Many high-achieving women in law operate with a powerful “Success Mindset”—a voice that demands results, holds impossibly high standards, and rarely stops to offer praise or care. While that voice may have propelled you forward, it can also keep you trapped in cycles of self-criticism, fear of failure, and emotional isolation. Over time, it chips away at confidence, distorts your sense of self-worth, and narrows the joy available on your path. But there is another way to succeed that doesn’t sacrifice your well-being in the process. This workshop introduces a new inner paradigm: success grounded in self-compassion, not self-punishment. You’ll learn to recognize and respond to your inner critic with clarity and care. Not to silence it, but to understand what it’s trying to protect you from. You’ll begin to soften harsh inner narratives while strengthening your capacity to lead from a place of emotional resilience, courage, and self-trust. Layered into this work is the practice of flexible optimism, the ability to see setbacks not as verdicts, but as opportunities for growth. Especially in careers like IP law where critical thinking and risk-aversion are prized, it’s easy to default to skepticism, pessimism, and self-protection. This workshop helps you build a more balanced, empowering inner dialogue that allows you to move forward with curiosity and hope, even when the path is uncertain. Together, we’ll explore: • How your Current Mode may be reinforcing cycles of self-criticism or fear-based striving • The role of your inner critic and how to respond with both tenderness and fierceness • Why self-compassion is a performance enhancer, not a weakness and how to practice it in real-time • Tools and practices for reframing negative thinking by cultivating a flexibly optimistic internal lens This is the turning point in the Journey, where you begin to unlearn what no longer serves you and build a new inner operating system that honours your strength, softness, and humanity. This isn’t about losing your edge. It’s about coming home to yourself so you can lead and live with more authenticity, confidence, and joy. APRIL April 1 @ 9:00 AM PST: Meditation Session (30 minutes) April 1 @ 9:30 AM PST: Peer-Led Session (60 minutes) April 15 @ 9:00 AM PST: Workshop (90 minutes) April Workshop: Redefining Success from the Inside Out — Reclaiming Your Values and Rewriting the Inner Rules By now, you’ve been unraveling the unconscious patterns, beliefs, and default ways of being that have shaped your career and identity as a high-achieving woman in IP law. This month marks a key turning point—an opportunity to shift from what you were taught to value to what truly matters to you now. Many women in high-pressure professions operate from internalized beliefs like “I can’t afford to slow down,” “I must prove my worth,” and “I’m not enough.” These beliefs are often rooted in cultural and professional expectations—what we’ve come to know as “the rules.” Be perfect. Be productive. Don’t take up too much space. Don’t let anyone down. Care for yourself last. Over time, these unspoken rules become the internal compass for success. But left unexamined, they can pull you away from your own truth, erode your confidence, and leave your life feeling overwhelmed and unfulfilled. In this workshop, we’ll invite you to pause and ask a deeper set of questions: • What does success really mean to you now? • Where are you living by old rules that no longer serve you? • And what might become possible if you redefined success anchored in your values, not your fears? Together, we’ll explore how to: • Identify the inherited rules and beliefs that shape your inner dialogue and decision-making • Recognize the difference between your conditioned thoughts and your authentic truth • Reframe imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and self-doubt through the lens of self-leadership • Clarify your personal values and assess where your current life and work align (or don’t) • Rewrite the rules to reflect your growth, humanity, and definition of meaningful success Through reflective exercises, guided coaching, and powerful peer dialogue, you’ll begin the process of letting go of the beliefs that keep you small and stepping into a more aligned, liberated way of leading and living. This workshop is not about abandoning ambition. It’s about redefining success from the inside out so you can pursue impact, joy, and fulfillment on your own terms. Individual Session #2: Redefining Success—Your Way Forward In this session, we will step back from external definitions of success and begin to craft a version that feels deeply aligned with your values, well-being, and vision for a meaningful life and career. Together, we will: • Revisit your core values and explore how they’re currently showing up in your personal and professional life • Reflect on how your relationship with success has evolved over time—what still fits, and what no longer serves • Identify where old expectations or inherited beliefs may be holding you back • Clarify what success looks and feels like when it’s rooted in sustainability, joy, and self-leadership • Begin shaping a more authentic and fulfilling path forward that honours who you are and what matters most This session is a turning point—an opportunity to integrate the insights and shifts that have emerged so far and to move forward with greater intention and alignment. Together, we will create space for clarity, self-trust, and grounded visioning so that your next steps are not only strategic, but soulful. This is your chance to define success on your own terms and to begin living it from the inside out. MAY May 2-6 (date to be announced): Optional In-person Gathering at the INTA Annual Meeting in London, UK JUNE June 1-3 & 8-10: Individual Session (Select one, 90 minutes) Individual Session #3: Midpoint Check-In—Anchoring, Aligning, and Reorienting At the halfway point in your journey, this session offers you space to pause, take stock, and reconnect with where you are now both inside and out. So much can shift in a few months: new insights, growing edges, deeper questions. This session is your opportunity to reflect on what’s unfolding, anchor the growth that’s already taking root, and recalibrate your focus for the second half of the program. Together, we’ll explore: • What’s been working and what still feels hard, stuck, or tender • The progress or inner shifts you may not have fully recognized or celebrated yet • What’s changed about your definition of success, alignment, or leadership • What might be asking for more attention, compassion, or clarity We’ll also help you identify or refine your “North Star” for the remainder of the program—a meaningful point of focus or intention that can guide your next steps with purpose and integrity. Whether you arrive with momentum or resistance, clarity or questions, this session is a moment to reconnect to yourself and the vision that brought you here. You’ll leave with a deeper sense of where you are, where you’re headed, and how you want to walk the path ahead. This isn’t about evaluating your progress. It’s about honouring it, learning from it, and choosing your direction with intention and care. SEMESTER TWO: SEPTEMBER - DECEMBER SEPTEMBER September 2 @ 9:00 AM PST: Meditation Session (30 minutes) September 9 @ 9:00 AM PST: Workshop (90 minutes) September 14-16 & 21-23: Individual Session (Select one, 60 minutes) September Workshop: Leading with Light—Reclaiming the Joy in Success In high-performing environments like IP law, it’s easy to equate value with output and defer joy for “someday.” But fulfillment isn’t a finish line, it’s a practice. This month’s workshop invites you to reorient your inner compass toward what truly matters: joy. We’ll explore how embracing joy isn’t just about feeling good; it’s a radical act of resilience and self-leadership. Drawing from the science of positive psychology and self-compassion practices, we’ll look at how gratitude, generosity, and positivity can gladden the heart, expand perspective, and shift us from survival mode into a more life-affirming way of being. You’ll learn how to cultivate joy as a steady inner resource—one that softens cynicism, helps regulate stress, and fuels meaningful work. So often, in response to adversity, we build protective armour: perfectionism, emotional detachment, over-functioning. These are strategies we’ve learned to keep ourselves safe, but they also distance us from connection, ease, and authenticity. In this session, we’ll explore how joy can become a different kind of protection: not as armour that hardens us, but as a shield that strengthens us from within. Joy grounds us, restores us, and makes space for us to meet life’s challenges with openness, resilience, and heart. Together, we’ll challenge the myth that joy must be earned and replace it with the truth: joy is not a reward for performance, it’s a resource for sustainability. Through guided practices and reflective inquiry, you will: • Explore the role of gratitude, generosity, and positivity in cultivating emotional well-being • Learn to identify and release narratives that defer joy in favour of overwork • Reclaim joy as a leadership strength, not a distraction from ambition • Build practices that invite more presence, lightness, and connection into daily life • Use joy as a protective and nourishing force, something that supports and sustains you through the ups and downs of a high-pressure career This session is your invitation to remember that you are allowed to enjoy your life. Individual Session #4: Your Joyful Way Forward—Reclaiming Your Inner Light, Renewing Your Path After months of self-discovery, pattern-breaking, and courageous reflection, as you step into the second half of the program, this one-on-one session invites you to tune inward and ask: Where is joy asking to lead me next? What might become possible if I let joy guide my way? Together, we’ll explore: • What’s shifted internally or externally over the course of the previous months • The small or significant ways joy is showing up in your daily life or still feels out of reach • Where you may still be deferring joy in favor of “doing more” or “proving more” • How to begin weaving joy, ease, and meaningful connection into your vision of leadership and success We’ll also set the stage for the journey ahead, helping you reconnect with the values, intentions, or inner truths you want to guide the final stretch. You’ll leave with: • A clearer understanding of what joy means to you now • Practices to support sustainability and lightness in your leadership Because success isn’t just about achievement—it’s about how it feels along the way. OCTOBER October 7 @ 9:00 AM PST: Meditation Session (30 minutes) October 7 @ 9:30 AM PST: Peer-Led Session (60 minutes) October 21 @ 9:00 AM PST: Workshop (90 minutes) October Workshop: You Are Already Enough—Cultivating Radical Self-Acceptance and Inner Worth So many high-achieving women carry a hidden belief that whispers, “I’m not enough.” It shows up in perfectionism, people-pleasing, overworking, and the constant chase for external validation. When your sense of worth is tied to performance, accolades, or others’ approval, the bar always moves and the pressure never stops. This workshop is an invitation to pause the striving and come home to yourself. Drawing on the powerful practices of self-acceptance and self-compassion, we’ll explore what it means to soften the voice of the inner critic and reconnect with the truth that you are already enough, just as you are. You’ll begin to rewrite the internal narratives that keep you stuck in a cycle of proving and learn how to root your confidence in something far more stable: your intrinsic worth. Together, we’ll explore: • How the belief of “not enough” shows up in your life and career • The impact of conditional self-worth on well-being, fulfillment, and self-leadership • Ways to ground your identity in being, not just doing • The radical (and courageous) act of accepting yourself fully This isn’t about giving up your ambition. It’s about building a life where your worth is not on trial. Because you don’t have to earn your enoughness. You were born with it. Let this workshop be a return to wholeness, a reclamation of your voice, your softness, your strength, and the deep knowing that you are already, always, enough. NOVEMBER November 4 @ 9:00 AM PST: Meditation Session (30 minutes) November 18 @ 9:00 AM PST: Workshop (90 minutes) November 23-25 & 30 & December 1 & 3: Individual Session (Select one, 60 minutes) November Workshop: Protecting What You’ve Grown—Boundaries, Self-Leadership, and Real Self-Care As the year winds down and the demands of the holiday season ramp up, it can be all too easy to slip back into old patterns of overcommitting and overlooking your own needs in the name of being helpful, capable, or “on top of it all.” This month’s workshop is about protecting what you’ve grown. Throughout the program, you’ve been shedding roles that no longer serve you, reconnecting with your values, and building a more self-authored, authentic path. Now, the invitation is to guard that growth with discernment, self-trust, and care. We’ll explore the two essential leadership skills that help you sustain change: • Boundaries that protect what matters most • Self-care that nourishes your capacity to thrive You’ll learn to identify where your time, energy, and emotional bandwidth are most vulnerable and how to protect them with clear, compassionate boundaries that align with your values and support your leadership. Together, we’ll name the internal resistance that can arise (guilt, fear, pressure to be “good” or available) and practice shifting into self-honouring instead of self-sacrificing. At the same time, we’ll deepen into the true meaning of self-care—not the commercialized version, but the kind that builds inner resilience. You’ll be invited to listen inward and reconnect with what genuinely replenishes your body, mind, and spirit. Together, we’ll explore: • How to set boundaries that reflect your worth, not your guilt • Scripts and mindset shifts to uphold your needs with confidence and care • How to recognize signs of depletion before burnout takes hold • Why self-care is a leadership practice and how to make it sustainable • How to carry your growth into the season ahead with intention and integrity This workshop is your reminder: You don’t have to lose yourself to show up for others. In fact, the more you honour your needs, the more powerful, generous, and grounded your leadership becomes. You’ll leave with a concrete plan to support your energy, priorities, and well-being—not just for the holidays, but for the months and milestones still ahead. DECEMBER December 2 @ 9:00 AM PST: Meditation Session (30 minutes) December 2 @ 9:30 AM PST: Peer-Led Session (60 minutes) December 16 @ 9:00 am PST: Workshop (90 minutes) December Workshop: The Rise—Coming Home to Yourself and Redefining the Way Forward In the relentless pace of law and life, it’s easy to move from milestone to milestone without pausing to acknowledge what’s changed—not just on the outside, but within. This final workshop invites you to pause, reflect, and celebrate not only what you’ve accomplished, but who you’ve become. This is the Rise, the part of the Heroine’s Journey where you return to your life and leadership with greater clarity, grounded presence, and a new relationship to success that is defined not by others, but by you. Over the past year, you’ve done courageous inner work: unlearning patterns, reclaiming your voice, realigning with your values. Now, the invitation is to integrate it by taking stock of your transformation, naming the wisdom you’re carrying forward, and choosing how you will rise into the next chapter of your life and leadership. Together, we’ll: • Reflect on your yearlong evolution with honesty, warmth, and celebration • Name the shifts—big and subtle—that have changed how you relate to success, self-worth, and leadership • Identify what you’re taking with you, what you’re ready to release, and what new possibilities you want to invite • Reconnect to the sense of purpose, power, and presence that has been unfolding within you all along This is not about fixing or striving. It’s about inhabiting your growth, honouring your resilience, and stepping forward with self-trust. Because coming home to yourself is not the end of the journey; it’s the beginning of a new way forward, rooted in wholeness, led by joy, and authored by you.
