Be Your Own Hero with Charity Weibel

It’s time to burn the fairy tales — they aren’t magic, they’re a trap. For too long, we’ve been told to wait to be rescued. In this empowering and transformative experience, Charity Weibel invites you to step out of the tower and into your own power. The princess is done waiting — it’s time to become the hero of your own story.

Through powerful storytelling, reflection, and interactive discussion, this session will explore:

Self-Awareness – Identifying the “tower” and energetic drains in your life. What is pulling your energy, and how can you reclaim it?
Self-Protection – Understanding your sword, shield, and body armor. Learn how to protect your energy and recognize the difference between real danger and faux danger (such as public speaking, promotions, or starting something new).
Real Self-Care vs. Faux Self-Care – Discover what truly restores you versus what only appears productive.
Breaking Cycles & Patterns – Using the map and compass to identify limiting patterns and create a new path forward.
Commitment to Energetic Sovereignty – Close the experience with a Hero’s Vow or guided visualization, committing to step fully into your own strength.

Each participant will receive a Cycle Breaker Tool, including the HERO Formula, to help put these concepts into action beyond the event.

This empowering session is inspired by Charity’s book, Awakening the Hero Within, for purchase on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

The 9 Environments of You with Amy Shonka

We had a wonderful event featuring Amy Shonka, who shared an engaging presentation on the 9 Environments of You. Amy provided great insight into how the different environments in our lives—both physical and personal—can impact our energy, productivity, and overall well-being. It was an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation, and we appreciated everyone who joined us for the discussion.

A special thank you to CaseyLea Clayton with Consider It Clean for sponsoring the event and providing a delicious spread of food for everyone to enjoy. We are grateful to all who attended and helped make the event such a great experience!
