The Check-in | November | Trusting Yourself
THE CHECK-IN
A little space to pause, reflect, and connect.
The Check-In is a small, guided gathering for women to step out of the pace of everyday life, take a little time to reflect, and have conversations that go beyond small talk.
Each month, we explore a different theme through thoughtful questions, personal reflection, and conversation. You'll have time to reflect on your own, share if you'd like, hear other perspectives, and see what comes up.
And then you come back next month.
The Check-In is designed to be a place you can return to throughout your journey, wherever you are, whatever season you're in, and whatever you happen to be figuring out at the time.
You don't need to start at the beginning. You don't need to come every month (even though we'd love to have you!). Jump in whenever you want, come back whenever you need, and see where the next conversation takes you.
You don't need to arrive with anything figured out.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A few hours to step out of your usual routine and make a little space for yourself.
We'll slow down together, explore the month's theme through thoughtful questions, and give you time to reflect on what's happening in your own journey. You'll have opportunities to share, listen, and connect with other women — including people you may not have met before.
There will be time to grab a coffee, take a break, wander around, and let conversations continue naturally.
We'll come back together at the end to reflect on what came up and what you want to take with you into the month ahead.
The Check-In begins promptly at 11:00 AM. Please arrive with enough time to get settled beforehand.

ABOUT JOURNEYSTRENGTH
JourneyStrength creates experiences that make space for reflection, meaningful conversation, and connection as we navigate the journey - together.
We don't always need more answers. Sometimes we need space to pause, better questions to think with, and people to navigate alongside.
The Check-In is one expression of that idea.
GUIDED BY RACHAEL ADAMS
Rachael Adams is an Olympic medalist, former professional volleyball player, and founder of JourneyStrength.
After years of using reflection as a way to navigate her own journey, Rachael began bringing those practices into workshops and gatherings. She discovered that some of the most powerful moments happened when people reflected together.
Today, she creates and facilitates experiences that give people space to pause, ask better questions, hear different perspectives, and connect.
