the why

“Well behaved women rarely make history.”

Join us on a transformative journey at our 3-day immersive leadership event crafted exclusively for the Women of the Mortgage Industry.


Over the span of three empowering days, you'll dive into our

carefully crafted 4-Pillar program tailored to elevate your branding,

supercharge your business, and position you to become

Our hands-on workshop will equip you with practical strategies to craft the essential tools necessary for immediate implementation in your market.


You’ll discover how to unleash the full potential of your business, distinguish yourself from the competition, and lay the groundwork for a brand that commands attention and respect - all while forging meaningful connections with like-minded women in the industry.

You’ll be inspired by women who are already making incredible strides in the industry and paving the way for us all.


This immersive, interactive experience promises to reignite your passion, unlock your potential, guide you towards achieving extraordinary success, and infuse it all with a ton of FUN along the way!

In the world of mortgage leadership,

it's no secret that the stage is

often dominated by male voices...

...and while their expertise is undeniable, there's a glaring absence of the female perspective in these conversations, and presence at these tables.


As women, we navigate unique challenges and face limiting beliefs that differ from our male counterparts. Too often, we find ourselves excluded from the highest levels of leadership, and without a seat at the table. But did anyone stop to question whether the playing field was ever truly level to begin with?


Rather than fighting for a place in a room that may not fully embrace us, we're taking matters into our own hands. We're carving out our own space, where women can come together to uplift and empower one another. In this room of our own creation, we share ideas, forge new connections, and offer support. We celebrate each other's victories and lift each other up when the journey gets tough.


Because when women in the mortgage industry unite,

something truly magical happens:


We become a force to be reckoned with, driving positive change,

and shaping the future of our industry with our collective strength and wisdom.
