Self-empowerment + reset

The No-Shrink Session

3 hours · 8–40 people · zero trust falls

Somewhere along the way a lot of us started apologizing for taking up space. This is three hours of deciding out loud what you're done with. Blunt, funny, occasionally loud, and built for any woman who's finished waiting for permission. No worksheets about your inner child. No trust falls.

The full 3-hour agenda

Hour 1

Name the habit

The apology habit, the shrinking habit, the 'I'll just sit here quiet' habit. We put language on the specific ways you've been making yourself smaller, and laugh at how universal it turns out to be.

Walk out with: Your own short list of the habits that are costing you.

Hour 2

Rewrite the rules

What do you actually want next, what are you finished with, and what will you say when someone pushes back? We write the sentences and practice them on each other until they stop feeling rude.

Walk out with: A rewritten set of rules and the words to defend them.

Hour 3

Make the pledge

Everybody builds a personal full send pledge — one thing you're doing, one thing you're dropping, one date on the calendar — and declares it to the room so it stops being a private idea.

Walk out with: A spoken commitment, witnessed, with a deadline attached.

Key takeaways

A written full send pledge with a real date on it
Language for saying no without a paragraph of apology
A clear list of what you're done carrying into what's next
Scripts for the pushback you'll get from family, work and yourself
A room full of women who heard you say it out loud

Who it's for

Women in the middle of a reset — empty nest, divorce, career change, retirement, or just done
Women's conferences, retreats and church or community groups
Corporate and employee-resource groups wanting real talk instead of a slideshow
Anyone who keeps shrinking in rooms they've earned a seat in

Not for you if you want gentle wellness language — this one is direct and occasionally unprintable.

What Jenn needs from you

A room private enough for honest talk

Chairs in a circle if the group is under 20, rows if it's larger

A mic for groups over 25

Paper and pens for the pledge writing

Coffee. Snacks strongly encouraged.

Frequently asked questions

Is this therapy?: No. It's honest conversation with structure and humor. Jenn is not a therapist — she's a facilitator who believes women deserve a room where they can say the quiet part out loud.
What should I bring?: A notebook, a pen, and one thing you're tired of apologizing for. Snacks and water are a good idea too — three hours of real talk is energizing work.
Is the room accessible?: Yes. The venue needs to be reachable by elevator or ground floor with seating that can be rearranged. Let Jenn know about any access, hearing, or sensory needs when you book.
What's the refund policy?: Hosted group deposits are refundable up to 14 days before the workshop. Inside 14 days the deposit can be transferred to a rescheduled date. Open-to-the-public tickets are refundable up to 7 days before the event.
Can men attend?: This session is designed for women and women's groups. If you're organizing a mixed-gender or corporate event, reach out and Jenn can talk through whether it's the right fit.
