Just 8 Seats - 3 Day In-Person Exclusive Retreat - PLUS A 12 Week Program
For accomplished women, 40+, who are done managing their lives and ready to love them.
You climbed. You delivered. You earned the title, the income, the respect. And somewhere along the way, you became very good at managing yourself — your reactions, your words, your needs — so that everything around you could keep running.
And it worked. Until it didn't.
"You didn't do it wrong. You were just never taught how to lead yourself
the way you learned to lead everyone else."
The Unapologetic Impact Intensive is not a workshop. It's not a course. It's the place where accomplished women stop performing a version of themselves and start operating as the
real one.
WHAT NOBODY TOLD YOU
You were taught to perform. To produce. To push through. Nobody handed you a roadmap for this part — the part where the life you built stops fitting and you can't figure out why.
Achieving more doesn't create fulfillment.
It just raises the bar on what you think you still have to earn.
Awareness doesn't dismantle conditioning.
You can name your patterns all day long and still be run by them in real time.
The armor that got you here is the same armor keeping you stuck. The competence, the self-sufficiency, the "I've got it" — became the cage.
Emotional intelligence isn't the same as emotional freedom. You can read a room perfectly and still have no idea what you actually want.
You were trained to manage your impact, not to own it. To be palatable, credible, appropriate — and to shrink when any of that was questioned.
Consistency doesn't solve subconscious programming. It reinforces it. Until you unlearn what's underneath, you keep executing the same behaviors — just more consciously.

You're 40+, accomplished by almost any measure, and still feel like the best of you is waiting on permission
You've done personal development, and you're tired of knowing your patterns and still living inside them
You don't just want to figure out what's next, you want to love what's now
You're ready to stop being likable and start being real
You want to design a life that actually reflects who you are, not who you had to be
You're not afraid of hard work. You're afraid of wasting time on anything that isn't.
WHAT THIS PROGRAM CHANGES
You have the awareness, but not have the alignment. This program closes the gap between who she knows she is — and how she actually lives, leads, and shows up. Not occasionally. Not when she's "on." Consistently. Automatically.
Before
Editing herself mid-sentence
Saying yes when she means no
Over-explaining to be understood
Managing perception instead of stating the truth
Holding back to stay likeable
Knowing exactly what to do — but not doing it
Performing a version of herself that gets results
AFTER
Says the thing — clean, direct, without buffering
Makes decisions without consensus or approval
Stops over-explaining and trusts her authority
Holds boundaries without guilt or justification
Uses her full voice, without filters
Acts in alignment with what she knows — automatically
No ramp-up. No "catching herself." No second-guessing.
From managing herself to be accepted —
to leading herself from her truth.

"It changed how
I live."
I walked in as someone who worried about everything she couldn't control. Nancy helped me realize I wasn't worrying — I was just not yet trusting myself. If you're an accomplished woman who's ready to stop playing small and start owning what you've built, this is the room you belong in."
— Stacy McClenahan, Health Care IT


"It's okay to be afraid. Just push through."
I was so nervous I had it written on a sticky note just so I could get the words out. But once I said it, it wasn't hard — and watching my director get flustered made me realize how much power I'd been giving away. UP taught me to push through the fear instead of waiting until I'm comfortable, because that day never comes."
-Lindsey Wehrheim, Logistics


"I finally realized: this isn't scrolling. This is my life."
I'd been treating my own growth like social media — showing up, lurking, but never really contributing. UP made me see that accountability isn't implied here, it's demanded. And that's exactly what I needed."
-Cindy Plumbtree, HR

A full working weekend.
You leave with a rebuilt operating system, not just inspiration.
Every session at the retreat is designed to move you from awareness to action so that by Sunday night, the excavation is done, the old rules are named, and you know exactly what you're building in the 12 weeks ahead.
You don't leave with a notebook full of insights and no idea what to do next. This isn't a conference.


INTEGRATE WHAT YOU BUILT
This isn't 12 weeks' worth of information. It's the work that finally sticks.
The specific topics were chosen by the women in the room who completed the foundational program, Unapologetically Powerful (which you get for no cost when you join). Every session is designed for women who already know a lot and are ready to live differently.
This is advanced work — built for women who've already done the foundational development and are ready to go deeper.
THE SOMATICS OF IDENTITY
How your nervous system holds old stories and what it takes to rewrite them physically, not just mentally.
How Beliefs Actually Change
The real mechanics of belief change, not affirmations, not willpower. The actual wiring work.
Reverse Engineering Your Results
Trace the path from your current results all the way back to the core belief that created them. Then change that.
The Life Purpose Deep Dive
Not a vision board exercise. A real excavation of what you're here to do and why it's been so hard to say it out loud.
Stop Over-Explaining
The psychology behind why smart women over-justify — and the concrete habit break that changes how you're perceived.
Boundaries 2.0
What to do when you set the boundary and they test it anyway. The follow-through nobody teaches.
Emotional Regulation
Under Fire
Staying regulated
when someone is deliberately trying to destabilize you. The somatic and
strategic toolkit.
The Rest
Resistance
Why high-achieving women resist recovery — and the real cost when your identity is built entirely on output.
The Burnout Blueprint
How to recognize it before you're already there — and why smart women are the last to see it coming.
Chaos as Currency
Advanced strategies for turning disruption into strategic advantage. The women who thrive in chaos aren't lucky — they're prepared.
Building a Life That Doesn't Require a Vacation From It
Designing sustainability into ambition. What it actually looks like to build something you don't need to escape.
Self Love, Compassion, and Empathy
The big questions. What you're here for. Leading in uncertain times. The courage to be unpopular. The unapologetically powerful woman in
5 years.
WHERE THIS CAME FROM
I sat across from some of the most impressive women I'd ever met — women who had built extraordinary careers, raised families, led organizations and watched them cry because they had no idea who they were anymore outside of what they produced.
I recognized them. I had been them.
Thirty years in Fortune 500 sales leadership taught me what performance looks like from the inside. A master's in psychology and years of clinical practice taught me what it costs. A decade of executive coaching showed me what it takes to change — not just behave differently. Actually change.
This program is the integration of all of it.
The 3-day retreat is not a workshop. It's a deliberate excavation — the kind that takes you down to what's actually true so you can build on solid ground.
The 12 weeks that follow are live, rigorous, and led by the same woman you spent three days with. I built this because I couldn't find it anywhere.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T
You don't fail. You stay exactly where you are..
- Still respected — but not fully heard
- Still successful — but not fully expressed
- Still capable — but not fully used
You'll keep performing likability instead of owning authority. Carrying the emotional weight of everyone else in the room. Saying "yes" to things that quietly drain you. And calling it: "This is just how it is at
this level."
Not because you don't know better. Because you haven't changed what
drives your behavior.
You don't become who you already know you are.
Not fully. Not consistently. Not without effort.
You already feel this. The question is — are you going to keep living with it?

YYou don't have an execution problem. You have a conditioning problem. And no amount of planning, pushing, or performing your way through it is going to fix what's running underneath.

The 3-day retreat experience takes place at my private home in Southern California. It is a small group by design. The environment is deliberate — beautiful, private, high-end, and built for the kind of work that doesn't happen in a hotel ballroom.
Private Southern California home — curated, intimate, intentional
All meals catered — you arrive, you eat well, you do the work
Small cohort — the group is built for depth, not volume
Full facilitation by Nancy Solomon — no associates, no proxies
Days structured for excavation, not entertainment
Evenings for integration, conversation, and connection
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
Yes. The Intensive is the advanced program — it picks up exactly where UP leaves off. If you haven't completed UP, that's your next step.
You work. Not in the grind sense — in the real sense. Facilitated sessions, structured reflection, group and individual work, and the kind of honest conversation that doesn't happen anywhere else in your life. It is intensive by design. You will also eat well, sleep, and breathe.
Small by design. Every woman in the room is known, seen, and engaged. The size is determined by what allows for depth — not by what fills a room.
At Nancy's private home in Rancho Santa Margarita, Southern California. Details provided upon acceptance. Travel and accommodations are your responsibility; everything once you arrive is taken care of.
For accomplished professional women, typically 42–60, who have built impressive lives and know something significant is missing — not because they failed, but because they succeeded at the wrong target. Not for women just beginning their development work, or who want inspiration without doing the work.
You will have done the kind of work that doesn't evaporate. The relationships you build in the cohort are real. The clarity you gain is yours. What comes next is entirely, unapologetically up to you.
Good. That's how you know you're in the right place.

Founder of The Human Intelligence Company, WomenThink, and Aligned Teams. She has sat in more rooms with accomplished women than almost anyone — and she built this program from everything she's seen
and lived.

The women who belong in this room have already proven themselves.
The only thing left is to stop managing the life and start living it.
That work starts at the retreat.
