“The biggest mindset shift I made was recognizing that my value is not something I need to earn through overperformance or constant self-questioning. It already exists.”
LEAD WITHOUT THE GRIND PARTICIPANT, DECEMBER 2025

You got the promotion. The salary increase. The corner office.

So why does Sunday night still feel like dread?

You're working 55+ hour weeks, saying yes to everything, and questioning whether this level of stress is just "the price of success." You've proven you can deliver results, but you're tired of proving it through exhaustion.

Who It’s For

Mid-to-senior cross-industry women in finance, technology, consulting, CRE, and legal with 10+ years of experience who are:

  • Working more hours than they want while feeling behind on everything
  • Ready to advance to executive level but know their current approach isn't sustainable
  • Tired of proving their worth through perfectionism and overwork
  • Looking for leadership development that acknowledges the unique pressures women face in male-dominated industries
“I let go of perfectionism and control and focused on the quality of value I bring to my clients and my team.”
— Lead Without the Grind Participant, 2025
“The exercises, group coaching, and 1:1 sessions created the space and structure I needed to clearly identify the beliefs and patterns that were limiting me, and then actively challenge them. I was pushed to examine my mindset, my identity, and the way I approached situations that had quietly been holding me back for years.”
— Lead Without the Grind Participant, 2025
“I am most proud of the internal shifts that translated directly into how I lead day to day. I began pausing before reacting, especially in challenging or emotionally charged situations, and choosing more intentional responses rather than defaulting to overthinking or self-doubt.”
— Lead Without the Grind Participant, 2025

Have a question before enrolling?

We'd love to chat. Here are 3 ways to get in touch below:
“I moved away from defining myself by external validation or others’ perceptions. This included letting go of parts of my identity that were rooted in proving myself. I now believe that I am trusted, capable, and allowed to take up space. That shift fundamentally changed how I make decisions, engage in conversations, and show up as a leader.”

Frequently asked questions

How much time do I need to commit each week?

A: On average, expect about 2 hours per week (a 75-minute live session plus ≤5 minutes a day for the micro-practice prompts). The program is intentionally designed so that even if you only commit to the basics, you’ll still get everything you need. You can put in as much or as little time as your schedule allows, and the tools and practices are built to support sustained growth long after the program ends.

What if I miss a session?

All live sessions are recorded and shared via a learning platform with super convenient summaries and take-aways so you can catch up or review key points.

Do I need prior coaching experience?

Not at all. This program is ideal for women who are “coaching curious” and want to experience high-touch support without the full cost or time commitment of traditional coaching.

Can my company sponsor my participation?

Yes, many employers cover leadership and professional development programs. We can provide an invoice or supporting documentation.

What’s the difference between this accelerator and traditional 1:1 coaching?

With 1:1 coaching, you get highly personalized support but miss out on the power of community. This accelerator combines the best of both: private coaching sessions tailored to you plus the energy, peer learning, and accountability of a small cohort. It’s also structured around a clear 6-week journey with daily practices and resources—making it more focused, time-bound, and cost-accessible than standalone coaching.
