Self Sessions – a space for self connection and self discovery while in community.
This event’s theme — The Big Leap: Taking Massive Action Towards our Dreams
In this gathering of our Self Sessions event, we will be exploring the mindset shifts, the tools, and the stories that Adriana and Ava used to create big success in their lives. Adriana has made big moves in the culinary industry after growing up in Venezuela with zero prior connections to the space. Shifting from a reality of food and basic necessities being hard to find, to making a name for herself in NYC required courage and self conviction. For Ava, her story includes being homeless in high school to now being a multi-millionaire, running a for-impact driven breathwork business. Both of these women really inspire us, and we are excited to dig deep into their story with the takeaway that our wider visions for our life are possible for us.
You will love this event if you are –
Desire guidance and actionable advice for growth and deeper well-being
Excited to hear the real-real story behind someone’s journey - including the wins and challenges along the way
Curious to make new connections – no surface, dull networking vibes here!
Believe that self growth can be fun and community-centric – we can be playful and intentional in expanding into the best version of ourselves. And, when we grow, others do too.
More on the Self Sessions Event Series
Each gathering centers around an intentional theme in order to spark connection, inner reflection and self expansion. Along with our founder + Executive Coach, Megan Shekleton, each event will be co-facilitated with different visionaries in the Austin community and beyond.
