Life is your one and only adventure, and time is too precious to live on autopilot.

As an entrepreneur, you’re used to setting goals, chasing deadlines, and filling your calendar with business-building activities. But what happens when something deeper is calling, and you can’t quite find the space to listen, let alone respond?

This 90-minute, online workshop is designed for women entrepreneurs who feel the pull between work and other aspects of life demanding attention.

WE-CAN client and presenter Jennifer O'Neil of Giving Space will introduce us to Life Adventure Coaching: a creative and practical approach to designing a life that feels aligned, joyful, and fulfilling, both in business and beyond.

Whether you’re craving a new rhythm, ready to shift directions, or simply looking for strategies to navigate obstacles, this is your space to pause, spark fresh perspectives, and reconnect with your inner adventurer. An extraordinary life doesn’t just happen—it’s intentionally created.

Why not begin here?
