Welcome to Community & Connection

Circles of Women began with one simple, powerful truth:

Women need each other.
Not just sometimes—always.

Even the introverts.
Even the fiercely independent.
Even those who’ve been hurt or felt like they didn’t belong.

In today’s fast-moving, tech-heavy world, it’s harder than ever to find genuine connection and community. But something magical happens when women gather in open, welcoming spaces—where they can truly be seen, heard, and held.

That’s why I created Circles of Women.
Because when we sit together in circle—whether it’s for deep conversation, book club, knitting, or networking—we come home to ourselves and to one another.

These circles have changed my life and the lives of my clients.
They’re where real connection lives. Where wisdom flows. Where laughter, tears, and belonging are shared.

And I believe every woman deserves that.

If you feel the call to help build these spaces of connection, I invite you to join us. Let’s weave a web of circles so no woman ever has to feel alone again.

Become a Circles of Women Facilitator.
The circle opens September 7, 2025. Register now to secure your spot!

With love and gratitude,

This is for you if:

You feel called to create open, sacred spaces where women can connect and be real.
You’ve experienced the magic of (or dream of) women gathering in community and want to offer that to yourself & others.
You crave deeper, more nurturing connections.
If you're a coach and you want to have more connected conversations with the exact right women.
You may not feel 100% ready—but you are willing to learn, show up, and hold space.

"A circle of women may just be the most powerful force known to humanity."

-Jeanette LeBlanc

Circles (or groups) can look a lot of ways:

It's like a buffet of choices! Do you want something more serious and ritualistic? Or maybe something a little more free-flowing where you trade secrets on your favorite hobby or passion? It's all up to you!

Networking or Entrepreneur Circles
Coaching Circles or Small Groups
Book Circles
Hobby Circles
Mom or Empty-Nest Circles
Midlife or Crone Circles

Isn't it time to up your game and step into leadership?

Grab your seat!

This training is different...

This journey is about learning more about you so you can step into deeper connection with yourself, more confidence as a leader, and nurturing relationships with other women.

This is about heart-led leadership.

We believe circles are about WE not ME.

Connection is at the center—not perfection.

You’ll feel seen, supported, and encouraged every step of the way.

We value warmth, inclusivity, and authentic presence.

Remember, this training is live!

This isn't a learn-on-your-own! You'll have plenty of support! We'll meet in an intimate circle where we'll share and learn from each other while building your circle or small group.

If you are a coach or a service provider, circles can:

Become a smooth way to connect to women who need your specialty.
Provide a way for women who are interested in what you offer, a chance to meet you & connect with you.
Help you stay on top of the exact struggles for your specific audience.
Highlight your leadership skills by holding space rather than prepping for all those private sessions.
Help you SCALE & RETAIN clients in small coaching groups - we'll cover these too!

Here's what women say when we ask them:

Why Circles?

"I feel safe and that I am not judged sitting in circle. It gives me space to witness my past wounds, and become more open to myself and others."

Jamie

"Sitting in women's circles has given me the opportunity to speak my truth in a safe and supported place. It's a place where every woman has a space to share, feel, be seen and heard, and where we show up to support each other on our journeys. For me, being in a women's circle has brought me immense healing, self-awareness, and confidence to change habits in my life so that I can live the life I want. "

Kelly

"I can't imagine going through the challenges I'm facing right now if I didn't have my circle. It keeps me sane and focused on what I truly want. I see my circle as sisters I never had."

Erica

"When I write a document, I always need a second pair of eyes on it to help me catch mistakes. I have the same feeling in circles of women. Other women help me interpret my own words, actions, and decisions with perspectives outside my head. I often learn more from witnessing different perspectives. Circle is a place where shame is kept out, while acceptance and encouragement are key which is a space where true transformation can happen."

Lara

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I have to miss a session?

No worries—we know life happens. All sessions are recorded and uploaded to the portal so you can catch up at your own pace. You'll also find a written recap and can follow along with your handbook. Plus, we leave time at the end of each session for questions, so you can always bring anything up in the next live call you attend.

When will you be offering this again?

That’s still up in the air. This round includes exclusive bonuses—like practice circles and 6 months of facilitator support—that aren’t guaranteed next time (if there is a next time). If you're ready to lead by the end of the year, this is your moment. Let’s get your circle going now!

How much time should I expect to commit each week?

Expect to spend about 2–3 hours per week. That includes the live session (90 minutes + optional 30-minute Q&A), a little time with your handbook or exercises, and optional peer connection time. It’s manageable even with a full schedule—and deeply nourishing.

Do I need prior experience to join?

Nope. You don’t need to be a coach, facilitator, healer, or have any prior experience. All you need is the desire to hold space and gather women meaningfully. We’ll walk you through everything from mindset to logistics, and you’ll build confidence as you go.

Will I get feedback or practice opportunities?

Yes! You’ll have opportunities to practice facilitating in a safe, supportive environment. We’ll hold space for your growth and offer helpful reflections to build your confidence. Plus, those bonus practice circles are gold.

Will this help me if I’m not quite ready to lead a circle?

YES, absolutely. First, you might discover your inner leader sooner than you think.

Second, even if you never lead a formal circle, the skills you’ll gain will ripple through your entire life. You'll learn how to:

-Hold space with confidence (for friends, clients, or family)

-Speak up and be seen

-Set and hold boundaries with love

-Deepen your presence and listening

-Connect more meaningfully with others and yourself

Plus, you’ll be part of a nourishing and supportive circle of women as you grow.

Will I learn to lead online or in-person circles?

Both! This training covers a wide range of circle formats—online, in-person, mixed models, drop-in or closed groups, personal or business-focused. Whether you're creating a support group, sacred circle, social gathering, or growth container, you'll leave with clarity and structure to design what’s right for you. We celebrate innovation and uniqueness here.

What if I don’t feel like a “leader”?

That’s exactly why this program exists. Leadership in circle doesn’t look like standing at the front of a room barking orders—it’s about presence, listening, intention, and co-creation. We help you connect to your own authentic leadership style—not the one you think you "should" have.
