BACK IN COMMAND™
You’re brilliant at what you do. So why does it still feel like you’re winging it at life?
An 8-week group experience for ambitious, multi-passionate women — creatives, entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders — who are tired of second-guessing themselves and ready to lead their lives with clarity, courage, and intention.
You're ambitious, you’re successful, and your career looks wildly impressive from the outside looking in.
BONUS: You’ve earned a sparkly gold star for living the life you always thought you wanted…
So why does something still feel off?
Maybe you’ve been running on the hedonistic treadmill for years — without slowing down long enough to tie your shoe, drink some water, or even ask, “Why the hell am I on this thing in the first place?”
Maybe you’re always. so. damn. hard. on yourself. And the crew of critical voices in your head won’t shut up.
Maybe your friends tell you you’re a total badass, but you never believe the hype. You worry you’re not as good as they think and you’re going to get found out.
Maybe you’re tired of earning stack upon stack of gold stars because constantly striving to be a “good student” no longer energizes you.
And maybe, even with all your success, you still find yourself:
Questioning whether you’re on the right path.
Saying yes to opportunities that don’t actually align with what you want.
Comparing your behind-the-scenes to everyone else’s highlight reel.
Feeling like you should have more clarity by now about what you’re building and why.
Tired of making decisions based on what you think you “should” do instead of what you actually want.
Maybe you’ve even started to wonder:
Is this the life I’m supposed to be living?
Or is there something else out there waiting for me?
“For me to be feeling this ‘different’ in twelve weeks …. is WILD!
I’ve set real boundaries with clients, applied for creative opportunities I’d been avoiding, and — most importantly — I’m having more fun. I feel like I’m choosing my life.”
- Lauren Litt, CEO Lil Shameless Plug
Here’s the truth: You don’t need to work harder. You don’t need another productivity hack or business strategy. You don’t need to “find your purpose”. You need to get clear on what you want NOW and how you operate best – and start making decisions from that place.
That’s what self-leadership really is.
Not just managing your time better, but knowing yourself well enough to navigate choices with confidence, set boundaries without guilt, and go after what you want without apology.
You can choose to write your wildest dreams and desires in BIG, bold letters at the top of your to-do list.
You can choose yourself.
You can choose to be

Inside the 8-Week Experience
We’ll Untangle What’s Keeping You Stuck — And Rebuild What Actually Supports You
What do you actually want?
Get honest about the life, leadership, and version of success you truly want now — not the version built around obligation, expectation, or “shoulds.”
The patterns that keep pulling you off course
Identify inherited patterns rooted in perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-functioning, fear, and external validation — and begin interrupting them in real time.
Rebuilding self-trust
Reconnect with your instincts, strengthen your inner authority, and learn to make decisions from alignment instead of approval.
Leading from your values instead of your fear
Clarify the values that matter most to you and use them as a filter for boundaries, opportunities, relationships, and decision-making.
Boundaries, communication, and self-abandonment
Learn how to stop over-explaining, stop shape-shifting for approval, and communicate more honestly and directly without abandoning yourself in the process.
Taking messy, imperfect action
Stop waiting for certainty, confidence, or perfection before moving forward. Build the courage to take meaningful risks and create momentum even when things feel uncomfortable.
What ‘s Inside:
✓ Weekly Live Workshops
Each week we’ll explore a core aspect of self-leadership — from values and self-trust to boundaries, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and inherited conditioning. These interactive sessions combine practical tools, reflection, discussion, and real-life application.
✓Roundtable Conversations & Community
Transformation happens faster when we realize we’re not alone. Through guided discussion and community reflection, you’ll gain insight not only from your own experience, but from witnessing the journeys of other ambitious women navigating similar patterns and questions.
✓ Two Bonus Coaching Sessions
You’ll also experience two live group coaching sessions designed to help you apply what you’re learning in real time and get a taste of deeper coaching work and support.
✓ Integration & Experimentation
This isn’t about consuming more information. It’s about experimenting with new ways of thinking, leading, deciding, and showing up in your actual life. You’ll receive prompts, reflection tools, and practical experiments to help the work become embodied—not just intellectual.
I was on my way up the ladder in the entertainment industry…
and I walked away.
I worked as an executive on award-winning projects like GREASE LIVE!, Avenue Q, and The New Adventures of Old Christine. I was living the dream I'd had since childhood…but I was miserable.
I spent years chasing gold stars, feeling empty and unfulfilled, trying to make myself fit into the career I'd imagined, until I finally realized that I had been abandoning who I was for what I thought I should achieve. I’d been following a playbook that told me success meant sacrificing myself.
Life is too short to stay stuck playing by rules that were never designed for you to thrive. I've shown hundreds of women how to rewrite those rules. I can show you too.
