32 Women, 3 Days, and Big Dreams
Last week, I hosted my 3-day Creative Business Blueprint LIVE event, and it was nothing short of A-MAZ-ING! This intimate gathering of 32 incredible women, hosted on Zoom, became a space where creativity, community, and clarity flourished. It was a deep dive into defining purpose, building confidence, and mapping out actionable steps toward a thriving creative business. Today, I’m thrilled to share highlights from the event, testimonials from participants, and my biggest takeaways as the host.
What the Event Was All About
The Creative Business Blueprint LIVE event was designed to guide creative women—many embarking on a second act in life—through my six-part framework for building a successful creative business online. Over three full days, we covered:
Day 1: Who
Understanding your “why” to anchor your business decisions, identifying your ideal customer, and determining the best way to attract them to join your creative community.Day 2: What
We explored creating and pricing offers, delivery and launch methods, and featured an inspiring panel of my students sharing their journeys.Day 3: When
We discussed overcoming fear, imposter syndrome and embracing commitment—whether that meant joining my Mastermind or moving forward on your own. Action begets clarity and we all need to embrace taking imperfect action.
Each day was packed with breakout sessions, live coaching, and meaningful interactions—not to mention lots of laughter, support, and connection.
What Attendees Had to Say
The magic of this event came from the incredible women who showed up fully and engaged with each other. Here are just a few of their heartfelt reflections:
Cheryl: “Your availability and understanding made it so comfortable to express my feelings and talk about my goals. The group of ladies was amazing, and the format of the workshop really helped me bring clarity to my next steps. I loved the breakout sessions and the ideas they sparked!”
Denise: “I loved the breakouts! It was wonderful to connect with different people each time. As someone early in this journey, the best part was gaining clarity on a direction. I realized it’s not about perfection—it’s about doing something, moving forward, and seeing what happens.”
Mariela: “The best thing for me was getting clarity on the steps I need to take to grow my audience and create products. Your framework gave me the roadmap I needed. Plus, being surrounded by a supportive community made all the difference.”
Sarah: “I loved the connections we formed and the positivity in the group. So many of us realized we are good enough and have value to offer. It was uplifting to see how everyone supported each other and gained more confidence.”
Each of these women brought unique perspectives and stories, contributing to the magic of the event.
My Takeaways as the Host
Hosting this event was a deeply rewarding experience. Here are my biggest reflections:
The Power of Community
Witnessing the connections that formed among participants was incredible. These women lifted each other up, shared insights, and collaborated in ways that will continue long after the event.Engagement Matters
With cameras on and energy high, the engagement was phenomenal. Everyone played all out, which created a dynamic and supportive atmosphere that was palpable—even through a computer screen.Clarity Leads to Confidence
So many participants shared that the framework brought clarity to what they need to do next, from defining their freebies to understanding how to connect with their ideal customers. Seeing those lightbulb moments happen in real-time was incredibly fulfilling.It’s Never Too Late to Create®
Hearing stories from women embracing their second act reinforced my belief that creativity knows no age. It’s a reminder of my own journey and why I’m so passionate about sharing this work.
