In Focus:

A Retreat for Reclaiming Your Confidence from the Inside Out


This one-day Fall Equinox retreat is designed for women to help you pause, reflect, and move into the final stretch of the year with greater clarity, confidence, and intention. Through a blend of group coaching, personal reflection, and professional branding, you’ll reconnect with your core values, shift unhelpful patterns, and align how you feel with how you show up—in life, leadership, and photos.

This experience is grounded in the Energy Leadership™ framework, a research-backed approach that helps you better understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors impact how you lead yourself and others. You’ll explore how your energy shows up under stress and in everyday life, and learn practical tools to create more intentional and empowered responses.

Co-led by leadership coach Stephanie Simpson and photographer Amanda Miser, this retreat combines internal growth with external expression in a supportive and down-to-earth setting.

This retreat is for you if you’re:

  • Navigating a transition—career change, new chapter, or leadership role

  • Wanting to feel more confident and grounded in how you show up personally and professionally

  • In need of updated photos that reflect your current identity and goals

  • Drawn to personal development, coaching, and meaningful conversation

You’ll leave with:

  • Clarity on how your energy and mindset shape how you lead, communicate, and make decisions

  • Tools to shift from stress-based reactions to more intentional responses

  • A sense of direction—with next steps to support your growth and goals

  • Headshots that feel like you—present, confident, and aligned

  • Meaningful connection with a small group of women navigating change
