SUMMARY:WBEC-West | Shape Your Foundation Core: for WBEs
DESCRIPTION:Shape Your Foundation Core: for WBEs\nThursday\, September 11\, 2025 – Thursday\, October 23\, 2025 \nA 6 Week Journey to Reconnect\, Realign\, and Rebuild from the Inside Out (Dates Below) \nYou’ve built a business. You’ve been showing up for everyone and everything. But beneath the hustle\, there’s a quiet knowing that it’s time to return to you—to get clear on what you’re really carrying\, how you’re really doing\, and what it will take to create your next chapter from a grounded and empowered place. \nShape Your Foundation Lite is a 6-week online experience for WBEC-certified women entrepreneurs who are ready to pause\, reassess\, and rebuild their inner foundation so they can lead their businesses and lives with clarity\, courage\, and congruence. \nEach week\, you’ll be guided through powerful tools and honest conversations that illuminate what’s in the way of reaching your next level of personal and professional growth. Together\, we’ll explore: \n\nWhat you’re currently tolerating—and why\nThe relationships (people\, patterns\, or roles) that are draining you\nHow you’ve been showing up (and how that’s serving you—or not)\nThe architecture of your internal world: your 3 Selves and 4 Bodies\nThe Communication Model: why we react the way we do\nHow to break patterns\, honor your values\, and rebuild trust with yourself\nWhat it means to set boundaries that actually support your peace and power\nYou’ll also learn how to forgive\, release old stories\, and re-enter the relationship with yourself as the author—not the afterthought—of your life.\n\nEvery session includes a grounding meditation\, practical tools\, and reflection exercises to help you integrate what you’re learning into real life. You’ll walk away each week with clarity and action steps—not just insight. \nAnd 30 days after the final session\, we’ll gather again to reflect\, integrate\, and check in on how the shifts are unfolding in your life. \nThis is deep work—but it’s also spacious\, supportive\, and real. The kind that creates lasting change and invites you into the next layer of your transformation. It’s also a bridge to our 3-day intensive\, for those ready to dive even deeper. \n  \nIf you have any questions about this event\, contact office@WBEC-West.org. \n  \nAll times are Pacific Standard Time \nDAY 1: Thursday\, 09/11/2025\, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm PT \nDAY 2: Thursday\, 09/18/2025\, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm PT \nDAY 3: Thursday\, 09/25/2025\, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm PT \nDay 4: Thursday\, 10/02/2025\, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm PT \nDay 5: Thursday\, 10/16/2025\, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm PT \nDay 6: Thursday\, 10/23/2025\, 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm PT
