Big Boss Energy Collective
Have you been searching for your people?
Do you feel lost in a sea of AI bots and names that sound familiar on LinkedIn, but you have no idea how you know them...or even if you know them?
Are you longing for a community of leaders that you can turn to when the going gets rough? Or a community to celebrate your big wins?
Water cooler talk has gone to the wayside, and we are collectively in need of deliberate opportunities to build those life saving connections that fuel our careers and the rest of our lives.
Throughout my career and life I have benefitted from the power of groups, and as a result my career has thrived. Both the individuals in the groups I've been in and the collective wisdom of these groups, have supported me to be the leader that I am today.
The Big Boss Energy Collective is designed for women and female identifying team leaders, entrepreneurs and solo boss baddies who are done with doing it alone. If you're ready to creatively create a new context of leadership for yourself and others, this collective was custom fit for you.
In this six session hybrid learning and community building experience that culminates in a live retreat day on Friday, June 20th in the NYC Metro Area - Location TBD you will radically transform your career and your life.
The live retreat will include three meals, beverages, snacks and an immersive day that includes hands on creative expression work.
By participating in this program you will connect, create and collaborate with other female leaders who aspire to become the decision makers and visionary leaders our tender world needs right now.
Leadership can be lonely, and the Big Boss Energy Collective will support you to:
Lock in your vision
Design your team of allies
Identify your undeniable superpowers and learn how to leverage them no matter what room you walk into
Articulate who you want to be to the people around you, and then center yourself in that story
Most importantly...make lasting connections and friendships that sustain you when the going gets tough
By the end of this experience you will have vision, direction and a community of female leaders supporting and cheering for you.
If you become a member of the Big Boss Energy Collective, you get:

Write On! Journaling Journey
Write On! is back for FOUR weeks and this time we are JOURNALING!
Journaling is the practice of writing down thoughts, feelings, experiences, and reflections, serving as a tool for self-reflection, emotional processing, and personal growth.
I find my clients saying things like “I should really journal more” or “I want to journal more” or “I used to journal” or “I don’t know how to journal, but I know that I should”
You know me, when I hear those words WANT, SHOULD, USED TO, DID, I jump into action and my belief in you hops into overdrive and I say YES QUEEN!
Grab a journal and GO.
The process of getting started can be intimidating, overwhelming and daunting at first, but then you do it and WOAH! the whole world opens up for you and you discover things about yourself you never knew were locked inside.
If you’re wanting to crack your journaling process open, or just wanting to begin, join us.
With every registration you get:
A brand new journal shipped to your house
A pen - One of my faves to hand write with
Write On! Stickers to decorate your journal cover
Four 1.5 hour Zoom calls with prompts and direction to guide your writing
A community of journalers to cheer you on
Facilitated discussion and a safe space to hold you as you discover new things about yourself and what your writing tells you you want
We kick off on Zoom on Thursday, April 24th at 9:00am-10:30. By the time your first meeting begins, you’ll have already done your personal development work for the day.
Space is limited, so register here today. I promise you that your writing practice and your future self will thank you.
Presence - An Easy Approach to Getting the Attention You Crave
“Lack of Executive Presence” is a buzz phrase that basically means “You disappear when I am listening to you or read something you’ve written”

Want to learn some easy, tried and true secrets that will ensure that people will LISTEN to you no matter what?
Whether you’re in sales, crave a more commanding presence as a creative, want your kids or partner to LISTEN to you, this is the workshop for you!
In this interactive workshop, you will walk away with some tips and some practice on how to grab the attention of the people around you and make your presence KNOWN.
Sign up today and let’s have some fun.

Immunity To Change - A FREE Worshop to Uncover What's Underneath Your Inertia
Ugh, new years resolutions! Again! Wtf? Didn't we just do this last year?
If you're attending this workshop, I assure you that you will learn techniques to give you a far greater chance of making your goals stick this year!
My colleague Lora Cover at Co-League introduced me to this great model at a retreat we just co-facilitated, and I'm shook and hooked! I'll never approach goal setting in the same old way ever again!
During this 90 minute seminar we will look at a goal of yours, the surface reasons you resist it, the REAL REAL (not so pretty and sometimes downright yucky) reasons you resist it ,and we'll make a plan to support you to muscle through the shadows to achieve your goals. Join us as we uncover all of the ways to get out of our own way.
Join me for a FREE workshop that will help you to identify, uncover and move through the ick of what's standing between you and everything you've ever dreamed of for yourself.

Write On! Lay Your Foundation So You Can Kick Some Ass
This is a FREE workshop designed for you to lay that foundation for whatever writing project you are planning to sink your juicy kabooty into this Fall. Sometimes we all need a running leap, a start, a push, a place to begin, and this course is EXACTLY that.
If you’ve been pining to write, but you keep staring at a blank page waiting for the muse to move through you, STOP that!
In this workshop you’ll discover the muse only comes when she’s got some tasty treats to work with. This is your opportunity to lay out a pu-pu platter for her so that you can chow down with your writing!
You’ll walk away from this FREE workshop with a roadmap for where you’re going. Think of this workshop as your:
survival kit
your break glass incase of emergency
your ADHD medication!
What you produce in this workshop will help to gas your engine as you navigate your writing journey this fall! Sign up! You have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING To gain. It’s time for you to write, so let’s write already. You’ll amaze yourself at what you can accomplish in one hour if you JUST DO IT!
The only thing you need to come with is a hatchling of an idea of what you’d like to write and trust me, the rest is history!
Art and Soul Camp
Hello Campers!
It’s spring, and there is no better way to give yourself a much needed creative kick in the pants than to create something soulful for yourself. Art and Soul Camp is perfect for you if:
You are longing to carve out meaningful time for your creativity but haven’t found a path to do it.
You long to create something, but don't know where to begin
You believe that creating things is a great way to practice self-care but you haven’t been doing it!
You love making art with awesome people!
If you’re nodding your head, Art and Soul Camp is the right place for you. Sign up today! You do not need to be an artist to participate in Art and Soul Camp. My approach to art is that it’s all about the process of creating it, not the final product.
I promise, no matter your level of experience, you will create something beautiful for yourself!
Commit yourself to three weeks of evening art play time with Kim, where she will provide you the space, the activities, the materials and the prompts to get your creative juices in motion. Beverages and snacks will be provided as well.
Week 1:
Creative Collage - This week you will use a bevvy of luxurious and unique materials to create a manifestation board for yourself. Part ritual, part art project, you will walk away with a masterpiece you want to hang on your wall.
Week 2:
Kintsugi - Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics using lacquer and gold. It’s a perfect metaphor for embracing imperfection and looking at the many ways we may fracture and return even more beautiful than before. You will walk away from this workshop with a physical symbol of how strong you really are.
Week 3:
Book Repurposing - Each participant will receive a vintage used book to make their own. This book will become a living work of art that you can visit each day. The pages will become your own and through various art applications I will teach you how to make your old book brand new.
If you’re interested you can register here. Bring a friend! Bring two! Register before 4/18 using the code ARTSOUL and save $15 on registration.
*Please note that Art and Soul Camp takes place in my studio that I proudly share with my fuzzy cat baby, Oakely. If you are allergic to cats, please be mindful that this is not a pet free environment.

This is My Exit: Knowing When to Leave
Ever know that it was the right time for you to go, and then you stuck around for 2, 4, 6, 8, maybe even 10 more years?
Yeah, me too.
Whether you’ve contemplated leaving a job, marriage, friendship or toxic family situation, the truth is, sometimes it feels easier to stay than to leave, no matter how bad it is.
The FEAR of the unknown is real, even when the reality of staying can be painful and hard to endure on a daily basis.
We fear the unknown.
We fear for our financial security.
We fear for our stability.
We fear hurting others in the process of getting what we need.
We fear letting other people down.
We fear being perceived in new ways outside of that situation.
In this hour-long workshop we are going to look at the reasons we stay in places too long, the reasons we resist making moves and some strategies for how to get ourselves out of fear’s way. In just 60 minutes you’ll be clearing the way for what’s possible for yourself!

Relationship Reset: The Art of Having Difficult Conversations
How many of us struggle to have or avoid having difficult conversations in our lives? Here’s a hint:

In this session we will take a look at the reasons why we all AVOID these conversations and learn tips and tricks for how to have these conversations with kindness, clarity and creativity.
Participants will take on new mindsets about what is possible when they conjure the courage to have their difficult conversation, and will walk away with a resource that will support their practice as they try out new strategies.
Spring is in the air, and so I’ve had the urge to celebrate with my community. I’ve decided to offer this as a FREE event held on ZOOM so that it’s easy and breezy for anyone to join.
