About us
The Reading Room is a facilitated, book-based space for reflection, clarity, and conscious living
The Reading Room is a women-centered reading and discussion space rooted in personal growth, self-awareness, and intentional living. We read one book at a time, in full, and use literature as a catalyst for honest reflection, meaningful dialogue, and real-life application.
This is not a drop-in discussion group or a casual book club. The Reading Room is facilitator-led and designed for women who want to think clearly, relate consciously, and move through life with greater integrity and agency.
Our 2026 Theme: From Insight to Embodied Action
Each year, The Reading Room follows a cohesive arc. In 2026, our focus moves through:
- illumination and self-awareness
- intentional creation and direction-setting
- internal mastery and emotional responsibility
- relational intelligence and communication
- courageous, aligned action
Books are selected intentionally and read sequentially, allowing the group to deepen together rather than skim concepts in isolation.
How It Works
· We read one book at a time, in full, typically over 6–8 weeks
· Meetings are held weekly, with structured, facilitated discussion
· Conversation emphasizes reflection, discernment, and integration — not fixing, diagnosing, or advising
· Participants are encouraged to engage honestly, think critically, and apply insights to their own lives
Participation & Entry
The Reading Room is designed as a cohesive, relational space. Because discussions build in depth and trust over time, new participants may join only during the first two weeks of each book cycle.
Once a reading cycle is underway, the room remains closed until the next book begins. This structure is intentional and is what allows the Reading Room to remain intimate, focused, and meaningful.
Who This Is For
The Reading Room is for women who:
- want to deepen self-trust and emotional intelligence
- are interested in personal growth without spiritual bypassing or self-help hype
- value meaningful conversation and shared learning
- are ready to examine patterns, assumptions, and choices with curiosity and courage
This space is not therapy, coaching, or a support group — though many find it supportive. It is a space for women who are willing to reflect, take responsibility, and grow in community.
2026 READING LINEUP

The Liberated Self: Choose YOU | A Guided Perspective Experience
·OnlineOnlineDo you ever catch yourself doing the very thing you said you'd stop doing — or not doing the thing you said you would start?
Do you ever wonder why that happens, or how to change it?
What would you do differently if you knew no one was going to judge you, try to fix you, or ask you to perform for acceptance?
The Liberated Self is a live, 3.5-hour conversation on Zoom — part reflection, part release work, part ritual — where we explore those questions together and find out what's actually living underneath them.
Across our time together, you'll:
🌿 Locate the pattern in your body, not just your head. A guided scan to notice where it actually lives, before we ever try to shift it.🌿 Trace it to where it started. What you keep repeating usually made sense once — a role, a fear, a way of staying safe. Using the method from my book Beyond the Vision Board, we'll find what it's protecting, not just the symptom.
🌿 Sort what's still true for you. A real process for deciding what stays, what goes, and what just needs new terms.
🌿 Mark the shift with a ritual that makes it real. This is the part women tell me they didn't expect to need.
🌿 Leave with a felt sense of who you are without that pattern — not an idea of who you could be, but a few hours of actually being her.
✨ No performance required.
✨ No pressure to have it all figured out.
✨ Just space to tell yourself the truth, and see what happens when you do."I came away with some honest realizations about myself. Learning to identify what I'm carrying that isn't mine to carry — and letting it go — was liberating. Attending was a gift to myself, and would be to any woman, especially those feeling like something in their life needs to shift."
