A Curated Business Acceleration Experience
Palm Springs
SPOTLIGHT
October 5–8, 2026 · Spirit of Sofia, Palm Springs CA
A 3-day visibility intensive for ambitious women who are ready to show up online and stand out in their industry.
The Experience
Three Days. Four Industry Experts. Clear strategies and tangible transformation.
Palm Springs SPOTLIGHT is a 3-day working retreat for business owners and leaders who are done playing small and are ready to show up for themselves and their business in a big way.
Join us for a curated collection of poolside sessions across four focus areas:
You don't need another course, or yet another event where you walk away inspired but ultimately overwhelmed. You need the right room, some desert sun, and the space and skills to show up for your brand and business the way you KNOW you should.
Every session has a clear outcome. Every hour of the experience is intentional. And by the time you check out on October 8th, you're leaving with momentum, content, strategic authority, and visibility.
Where identity meets execution.
Poolside. Powerful. On Purpose.
brand strategy · content creation · headshots · authority building · leadership
Wrapped in Palm Springs energy. You leave with action, content, strategic authority, and visibility.
The evolution to build. The courage to lead. The confidence to scale.
The Community
The Spotlight Community Changes Everything
The right women... the right poolside strategy will change the trajectory of your business faster than any course or solo breakthrough ever could.
This is a curated space for women who have outgrown the rooms they're in — high-level entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders.
Ambitious women. One Spotlight community. No small conversations.

Three days. Three shifts. All intentional.

Who This Is For
Built for the woman ready to truly step into the spotlight.
SPOTLIGHT is for the entrepreneurial woman who is ready to invest in herself and her growth with strategies, skills, and mindset shifts that apply no matter what the algorithm, the economy, or anything else is doing.
Maybe you are early and building fast. Maybe you are established and ready to be known on a bigger scale. It genuinely doesn't matter where you are. What matters is that you are serious about showing up for your brand in a way that actually reflects what you are capable of, and you are done figuring it out alone.
You might be a service provider, a founder, a content creator, a coach, or a leader inside an organisation. The thing you have in common with everyone else in that room is that you are done playing small and you know there is a bigger version of your brand waiting to happen.
The Venue
Spirit of Sofia, Palm Springs
Spirit of Sofia is a vibrant, boutique hotel and group retreat in Palm Springs, California — famous for its colorful, mid-century boho aesthetic and highly communal layout, where guests step straight from their cabana into a private swimming pool.
The concept was inspired by a whimsical story about a woman named Sofia, who danced around the property and morphed into a hummingbird. An entire boutique hotel, exclusively OURS for the weekend.
This is not a conference centre. It is a space designed to make you feel different just by being in it.

Session 01
The Confidence Code
with Coralee Grimm
Before you can build visibility, you need to know who you are showing up as. Coralee's work sits at the intersection of culture, people, and brand, and The Confidence Code is where that comes to life. This session gets you clear on your leadership identity, what your brand actually stands for at its core, and how to build the kind of internal foundation that makes everything you put out into the world feel intentional and aligned. The women who get the most out of the rest of this weekend are the ones who do this work first.
Session 02
Big Brand Energy
with Katrina Owens
Big Brand Energy is the framework for building the kind of personal brand that has people talking about you in rooms you are not in yet. PR strategy, visibility positioning, and the specific moves that take you from the best-kept secret in your industry to the name everyone knows. You will leave this session with a visibility strategy and a very different idea of what is possible for your brand.
Session 03
Strategic Authority Marketing
with Melissa Rodgers
This is the session where your marketing clicks. Strategic Authority Marketing is the methodology behind knowing exactly what to say, who to say it to, and how to position yourself so that the right buyer pays attention, trusts your expertise, and actually reaches out. You'll leave with a messaging framework built around your specific offer and a simple content strategy that builds your authority every single time you show up online, no matter how many people.
Session 04
Social Content That Doesn't Suck
with Lindsay Kay
All of the above means nothing if you are not making content that performs. Lindsay takes everything you have built across the weekend and helps you turn it into actual content, with her guiding every step. You learn how to set up, shoot, edit, and publish content.
The Investment
Three ways to attend. One transformative experience.
