Beyond the Hustle: Redefining Success for Female Founders

​Join us for a transformative evening of meaningful conversations about productivity, worth, what success truly means, and exceptional Japanese cuisine. This is your invitation to step away from the relentless pursuit of endless achievement and into a space where ambitious women can flourish without compromise. Together, we'll reimagine what it means to build a business and a life that reflects your whole self, not merely your professional identity. Because you don't have to choose between career success and personal fulfillment. You deserve both.

​Here's What We're Creating

​The Setting: We've reserved Kodo's exquisite private dining room and invite you to exhale and truly be present.

​The Experience: Four extraordinary courses paired with four profound conversations. With each dish, we'll explore a different aspect of breaking free from toxic productivity through interactive exercises and meaningful connection prompts.

​What You'll Take With You: Practical tools for sustainable success and genuine connections with women who deeply understand the founder journey.

​We'll Explore Together

• ​Course I: Fighting the ‘Should’
  From eldest daughter energy to people-pleasing patterns, we’ll explore the ways we abandon ourselves and how to reclaim agency, without guilt.

• ​Course II: Collaboration Over Competition
  What if another woman’s success isn’t a threat, but a mirror? We’ll reflect on scarcity stories and learn how to build power together.

• ​Course III: Value-Aligned Productivity
  Beyond the burnout and busywork: what does it mean to produce from a place of integrity and presence, not performance?

• ​Course IV: Redefining Ambition
  Let’s let go of borrowed dreams. This final course invites you to define success on your terms, and trust that it's enough.
