The Masks We Wear. The Voices We Hide.Â
Â
A Wine & Wisdom Evening
Where the glass in your hand is simply the beginning and the real pour is truth
Â
Success cost you your voice.
This is where you take it back.
Â
An evening of reflection, connection, and conversation — for high-achieving women:
- still in corporate,
- stepping into consulting,
- or building what’s next on your own.
Together, we’ll name the quiet struggles you’ve carried
and step into the next chapter without the mask.

An Invitation to Pause. To Sip. To See Yourself Clearly.
High performance dazzles the outside world — the titles, the track record, the relentless resilience.
But behind the shine, there's a quiet ache.
The ache of toning yourself down to be accepted.
The ache of polishing, proving and performing.
The ache of asking, “Who am I, really, without all of this?”
And maybe the heaviest question of all:
Is this really it?
This Wine & Wisdom evening isn’t a lecture.
It’s not more information.
It’s a circle. A conversation.
A space where the mask comes off.
Â
Here’s what no one openly talks about:
The very habits that made you successful in corporate — the mask, the polish, the proving — are often the same ones that stall you when you step out on your own.
You think freedom will come the moment you leave.
But the mask doesn’t disappear just because the role does.
And until you unlearn the performance, you can’t fully step into the presence that’s yours to claim.
Together, we’ll name those unseen forces —
and begin to imagine what becomes possible
when you stop letting them lead your story.
Come As You Are. Leave With More of Yourself.
This evening is about connection, reflection, and permission.
Permission to name the unspoken.
Permission to set down the quiet weight of carrying it all alone.
Permission to imagine a next chapter that feels like you — not the mask you’ve been wearing.Â
Because whether you’re still in corporate or already out on your own, the performance doesn’t just vanish when you change roles.
The mask has a way of following you — until you choose to set it down.
Meet your host for the evening.

I know the mask well. I wore it for years inside corporate — shaping billion-dollar brands, telling the stories that worked, performing the version of myself that made sense in the room.
It looked like success.
It felt like survival.
I mastered the role. I lost my voice.
And without it, even my biggest wins felt empty.
Stepping into my next chapter meant setting down the mask.
It meant unlearning the rules of high performance, reclaiming the parts of me I’d hidden, and finding the courage to be seen as I really am.
Now, I hold space for women standing at that same edge — women ready to write the next chapter from truth, not performance.
Because when your words carry your essence,
people don’t just listen.
They feel you.

Step Into the Circle
An evening where the mask comes off,
your truth comes forward,
and your next chapter begins.
The mask was never your power.
Your presence is.
This is your invitation to lead with it.
