From the moment you arrive, you’ll be embraced by a supportive community of women who are also on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth. The day includes inspiring speakers, interactive sessions, and real, vulnerable conversations that will leave you feeling seen, empowered, and reconnected to yourself. No pressure to be anything but who you are—we’ve created a safe, inclusive space where you can show up exactly as you are and still walk away changed. Whether you're coming alone or with friends, you'll leave with renewed energy, deeper confidence, and meaningful connections that last well beyond the event.

Our 2nd Annual Summit Speakers

Speakers/Presenters

Dedication. Expertise. Passion.

Our 2nd Annual Beneath the Surface Women’s Summit was an incredible success, and it was made unforgettable by the extraordinary women who took the stage. Each of our speakers brought depth, authenticity, and powerful insight. From stories of resilience to messages of confidence, healing, leadership, and growth, they created an atmosphere that was both transformational and deeply connected. We are beyond grateful for the wisdom, courage, and heart they shared with our community.

And the momentum continues.

We are already filled with excitement for our 2026 Beneath the Surface Women’s Summit and the powerful voices who will join us next. If this year reminded us of anything, it’s that when women gather with intention, something truly extraordinary happens. We cannot wait to introduce the inspiring speakers who will take the stage at our upcoming summit.

The movement is growing.
The impact is deepening.
And the best is yet to come.
