So, what is it?

The Badass Women's Council is a community founded by Rebecca Fleetwood Hession, CEO of WEthrive.live and bestselling author of Write Your OWN Story, Three Keys to Rise & Thrive as a Badass Career Woman. Rebecca recognized the need to bring women together willing to challenge the standards and beliefs of the Industrial Age model of work. The Badass Women’s Council is passionate about ushering in The Age of Humanity.

A badass woman has remarkable skills and excellence; she’s intensely self-aware in a way that builds authentic confidence. She stands tall in her story, ready to be vulnerable and serve.

The Badass behind it all

REBECCA FLEETWOOD HESSION

With nearly three decades of experience, a $35M sales track record, a popular TEDx talk, a best-selling book, and 15 years in the esteemed President’s Club at FranklinCovey, you could say I've lived a little. I've also navigated divorce, co-parenting, raising a couple of amazing humans, including one with ADHD, and launching a business.

What I know to be true in all of it, there's always head trash, our uniqueness matters most, business is human, and striving and comparison are dream killers.

I'm most alive when I watch my clients come alive, find their tribe, and thrive.

There's this "look" when they're thriving as their most authentic self. Their eyes sparkle, they stand taller and they laugh way more. It's badass. I'm here for it.

Changing the way you see and deal with stress
Leading with courage

The Alums

As each season graduates, they join an active Rise & Thrive Alumni group committed to supporting one another in Indianapolis and surrounding communities. Together really is better. The alumni group has bi-annual retreats and monthly gatherings.

What's Expected of a Rise & Thrive Participant?

You arrange your calendar to be at all sessions. This is like a team, if you don't show up to play your position, the team is impacted. You treat Rise & Thrive like the safe place that it is, everyone's story is safe with you.

You're willing to invest your dollars and have your company invest money into your life and career just like the money you spend on your kids activities or designer handbags. You've decided you're worth it and deserving.

By Month 2, if any one of the other participants from your season knocks on the door unannounced, even if your kitchen is a mess and there's dog hair everywhere, you open the door with no shame, just love.

Who's it for?

We recognize it’s not for everyone, that’s okay.

It’s for a woman that career is a significant part of her purpose; she loves to work, and she wants to make a difference.

And after some degree of success, it just doesn’t feel like she thought it would.

She’s making decent money, she’s got a title or a team she’s proud of but has this ache there’s got to be more. More meaning, not just more meetings. She’s thought about going back to get another degree or maybe just quitting it all to go braid hair on the beach. She’s searching, not sure what she’s searching for.
We know she’s searching to find her authentic badass self.

For some, it’s just damn lonely leading a team or a company, she needs a community she confides in

We find it better to see if any of these statements resonate with you. It’s not really about your title, your industry, how many employees your company has, or how much revenue- it's just about you.

We want our Rise & Thrive participants to boldly impact their companies and their communities.

If you're unsure if this is right for you, take a look at the video below for more on the 'Sea of Uncertainty'- what you need to thrive may be waiting for you on the other side!

I'm not sure I have time for this...

Said EVERY high achieving woman ever...

The time commitment averages 8 hours a month.

Consider whether you have the time to invest in yourself, as you move from searching to knowing; from striving to thriving. Check out the video below for more about this!

Still not sure? See how many of these resonate with you

01

Have or secretly wants a mantra tattoo.

02

Have or desires the confidence to speak their heart and mind.

03

Willing to walk the wrong way down a one-way street to get there faster or take a more scenic route.

07

You’ve achieved lots of goals, and you’re still longing for more. Success doesn’t feel as good as you thought it would.

08

Your nightstand is a mix of books on self-help, murder stories, and spiritual guides. Also, snack wrappers and three different journals. One you started, one that's too pretty to write in, and another you hate but was a gift, so you can't throw it away.

09

You cry watching some TikTok videos or reality tv but immediately cusses at a kid or a dog and then feel guilty because deep down, you know it's because you're tired, hungry, stressed, or all three.

10

You will laugh hysterically at a friend who falls down walking across the street but smack the crap out of someone who makes fun of the same friend.

11

You've said yes to something and regretted it immediately.

12

Signs up for another 5 am Bootcamp class when what you need is a snack and a nap.

13

Carries all the grocery bags in with one trip, no matter how painful. There will NOT BE ANOTHER TRIP!

Take the Leap! You're in Good Company.
