A place to lay down the day-to-day pressures of running, building, or anticipating a flower business. For 8 weeks, you'll be surrounded by encouraging peers as you relax into the transparency facilitated and modeled by our team - Amy McGee, Natalie Gill, & Twyla Reimer. Bring your challenges, dreams, and questions. We'll tackle them one-by-one.
“I just can’t seem to get ahead.”
“My mind is all over the place.”
“I need answers, but I'm overwhelmed by all the options.”
“I want to learn, but I don’t have time to take a course, read a book, or attend a conference.”
“I’m too busy!”
“As much as I want to do something for myself, I just can’t take on one more thing.”
"How am I supposed to solve the problem I'm having today while I'm in the thick of it without an extra hour to look for the answer?"
"How can I slow down and still impact the world through my flowers?"
"I don't have anyone to ask / I'm too shy to ask."
