A new generation of women living
and leading in a self-sustaining way.

Awakened Achiever was born out of an acute understanding that while we, as women, are told we can “have it all and do it all” — it is rarely that simple. In our pursuit of a fulfilling career that we juggle in between school drop off lines and household commitments, we find ourselves making concessions to our personal well-being, relationships, or ambitions. We try to navigate it all, but find ourselves overwhelmed by a world that rarely supports it all.

Our mission is to radically change this. We are empowering women with a different way of being. You don’t have to choose between excelling in your career and being fully present at home. You can find alignment, and succeed in all areas of your life. With the right tools and support, a life of clarity, alignment, and ease is within reach.

How are we doing this?

We are bringing together a community of ambitious, growth-minded women via local workshops and events. Women who understand each other’s challenges, celebrate one another's wins, and support each other’s individual growth and development. We’ll explore mindset techniques, learn ways to nurture our bodies, and find tools to develop our overall well-being so we can show up as our best possible selves, in every area of our lives.

Coming together as a community makes us individually stronger, more vibrant, and connected to our goals and values. Here are a few things you can expect:

Inspiration: A time to focus only on you and find clarity and vitality all while building connection.

Honest Reflections: Real stories about the ups, downs, and everything in between we experience while redefining what it means to “have it all”.

Fun: Time away from everyday responsibilities (we know these moments are precious and can be few and far between). Spend time with those who make us feel heard, seen, and less alone. Oh, and there’s snacks. Lots of snacks.

The idea behind Awakened Achiever

I started Awakened Achiever because of my own deep desire for a better way of being. I have always been extremely career driven and constantly on. And yet, I also adore my family and friends and oh yea, my own personal time….it was all too much and just wasn't working. After some serious bouts of anxiety and the brink of burn out (with three little ones at home and over 15 years of chasing my ambitions), I decided there had to be a better way. I sought out ways to improve myself for the long term, so that I could show up better, and live better. But I still needed a sense of community, a tribe who I could relate to during the ups and downs who would just get it. I couldn't find what I was looking for, so I created it.

Welcome, I’m so happy you found our community!
