About this Event
Description
You're the person people count on. At work. At home. In your circle. You make the decisions, hold the details, and keep everything moving - even when your own capacity is running on empty.
Unfrayed is a focused half-day reset for women leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, and high-performing professionals who are functional but frayed - still delivering, still dependable, and quietly depleted.
This is not a conference. It is not a networking event where you have to make small talk or prove your value. It is a small-group experience for 8-10 women at a private North Scottsdale estate, built around one outcome: you leave with more clarity and capacity than you came with.
Come exactly as you are. You do not need to be "on."
What this half-day gives you
- Room to step out of the mental swirl and think clearly again, without making small talk or managing anyone else's experience
- A real conversation with women who understand the weight of being the dependable one
- Guided reflection to name what is draining your capacity and what needs to change
- Space to clear your head, reconnect with your own voice, and leave with one meaningful next step
- A Scottsdale close that fits your session: a quiet intention circle, a private crystal-bowl immersion, or intentional close

The setting
Gather at a private North Scottsdale estate designed for slowing down—shaded patios, quiet corners, desert light, and room to simply breathe. The exact address will be shared with registered guests.
Good to know
- Please arrive 15 minutes early so you can settle in before we begin.

- Unfrayed is a facilitated personal and professional development experience. It is not therapy, medical care, or a substitute for either.
You'll leave with more than a nice afternoon
- A nervous-system reset practice you can use in the moment, the next time work follows you home
- Words for what you have been carrying - named on paper, so it stops running the background
- One meaningful next step you chose, not one someone assigned you
- A journal with your own thinking in it - yours to keep
