Self-funded search is ambitious, high-stakes, and lonely - especially for women used to leading and making decisions at a high level. You’ve probably noticed: your usual networks don’t get it. Friends, colleagues, mentors - they might care, but they weren’t built to navigate this unique journey with you. Communities you find often approach ETA from a male perspective, focusing on tactics without addressing the mental, emotional, and nervous-system challenges of learning something entirely new while carrying risk and responsibility. This workshop is designed to meet that gap. It’s about: - Naming the isolation that’s holding you back - Understanding why the learning curve can feel overwhelming or trigger fight-or-flight responses - Showing how the right kind of peer support can build your confidence, sharpen your judgment, and help you navigate search smarter You’ll leave with: - Language for what’s been holding you back so you can talk about it openly - Actionable strategies for building a support network that works for you - A preview of the Clarity Collective — a space where women in search can explore options, clarify their path, and make decisions with confidence
