LET ME GUESS...
😮💨 Waking up tired, going to bed tired, and quietly resentful in between?
🙋♀️ Everyone’s go-to for answers, rides, reminders, and “quick favors”?
🧭 Craving something more meaningful... but the book, business, or creative project keeps getting bumped to “when things calm down”?
You're allowed to want more, whether it's been on the back-burner for years or you just know it's not this. Either way, you've waited long enough.
You keep the calendar, the team, and your kids (and mom’s) appointments all running. You’re good at it. Everyone knows they can count on you.
Somewhere along the way, the things that made you feel like you and the dreams that keep you up at night slipped to the back-burner. Now you feel a little guilty for wanting more when everything is technically "fine."
By the time everyone else is taken care of, you’re running on empty. You take the vacation, but a week off can’t restore a body that never fully rests.
So anything just for you feels like another chore, with your inner critic narrating every unfinished task. On the rare evening you do have a quiet moment, you don’t know where to start.
Unfortunately, “someday” has a sneaky way of becoming never. Another year slips by. The job title starts to feel like the whole of who you are. The dream goes quiet.
Fine isn't the same thing as alive.
That itch for something more meaningful, more you, is your Secret Dream whispering. Maybe it’s a book, creative project, business, or an hour a week just for you.
And if you honestly don’t know yet? That's a great place to start (it's a new moon, which is allll about setting intentions).
Your Secret Dream isn't another to-do. It's essential to becoming fully YOU.
Picture the version of you who’s already living it. She still has the job, the family, and the full calendar.
But she wakes up with something that’s hers, keeps the promises she makes to herself, and shows up for the people she loves, feeling lit the f*ck up instead of walking through molasses.
Ready to meet the woman you’re becoming and leave with her next step?
I AM HERAt The Secret Dream Social, you'll...
- Name what you actually want, even if it feels far off or your honest answer is “I have no idea”
- Jump timelines and receive insights from the version of you who is already living your dream
- Make your vision feel inevitable with a 3-minute practice you can secretly use in your next meeting to feel more calm and confident
- Connect with your intuition via an Oracle card reading (even if you don't think you're intuitive!)
- Leave clear on your next bite-sized step to bring your Secret Dream to life
IMAGINE WHAT COULD BE POSSIBLE FOR YOU IF YOU ALLOWED YOURSELF TO WANT MORE
"No one but you is responsible for you. No one's going to come push you off the couch. It has to be you and your decision. So give yourself permission and grace to go through the challenge. It's messy, but if I could do this journey with Emily all over again, I would."
– Shaquana went from burned out professor to PUBLISHED author & retreat facilitator
WONDERING IF THIS GATHERING IS FOR YOU?
You're totally in the right place
This is for you if:
- You’re everyone’s go-to and you’re craving something that’s just yours
- You want more out of life, even if you can’t quite name what “more” is yet
- You’ve been saying “next year” to your Secret Dream...for a few years
- You’d like to make a change without quitting your job or waking up at 5am
- A skipped promotion, divorce, or an emptier nest has you wondering who you are beyond the roles you play
Gotta be honest...
This isn't for you if:
- You don't mind hustling harder and want a fool-proof plan and habit tracker to get there
- You’re looking for someone to hand you the answer (we’ll find yours together)
- You’re content with how things are right now (and honestly, we love that for you)
- You're allergic to all things woo or spiritual (this is a new moon gathering with Oracle cards)

Daniéle is building her coaching practice on the side without quitting her tech job.
Yumi combined her love of dogs and photography to offer free portraits that help shelter puppies find forever homes.
Hannah, an accountant by day, went from too nervous to teach yoga to leading a class at a music festival.

I know the "is this all there is?" feeling all too well.
Midway through my decade of long-ass days in tech, I got hit hard with my chronic pain condition and a feeling like there had to be more to life than doing a good job. So I started small, running Bite-Sized Experiments in the cracks of my time to spark joy, follow my rekindled passion for teaching, and eventually built the business I’d secretly dreamed about before I ever quit my day job.
Since 2018, I’ve taught this process to create more meaning at Google, Meta, Microsoft, and more. I’m also 80% done writing my romantasy novel, so I’m working on my next Secret Dream alongside you!
