Summer 2024 Cohort Starts Next Week
|
I'm happy to announce that the summer accountability group coaching cohort starts NEXT WEEK! (How did June happen already?)

I can't wait to work with you. |

You can get the final details HERE, and buy the tickets HERE. One last announcement: In case you were on the fence about coming to the retreat, I've decided I will not be hosting one next year.
