The Era of Strain is Over.
It’s Time to Lead with Guts & Grace
You’re ready to lead in a way that’s more centered, embodied, and true to you. Not just to achieve traditional success, but to re-write the status quo.
Guts & Grace is a 12-month Leadership Coaching and Mastermind Program…for visionary women who are raising the tide.
We begin at the foundation: retraining your nervous system to operate intuitively, increasing your capacity for both integrity and power. Now, you’re leading from the wisdom of your full-self: body, mind and spirit. It sounds crazy––but it feels great.
And it works like magic.
Your Truth is Your Power
You’re no stranger to success. But in order to achieve your goals, you made some sacrifices along the way: your time, your relationships, your health… your own peace of mind.
In this next era, you are ready for something different.
You feel it calling you forward–a big ‘level-up’ is on the horizon (and yes, turning 30, 40 or 50 counts!)
Maybe your mission is getting bigger, but your body isn’t on board. Your vision calls for visibility, but you still hate to be seen. You’ve survived under pressure, pushed past your limits, and held it all until it cracked.
It’s time to get even more honest – you’re just not sure how.
The strategies, patterns, and pace that got you where you are today won’t hold up to the demands of your next level. And you know it.
Your next era is asking you for:
- More clarity, less effort
- More visibility, less hiding
- More power, less proving
- More trust, less control
- More intuition, less doubt
- In short… more of you
Guts & Grace offers a proven method to build a new, more reliable foundation: to assess, reflect, recalibrate, and organically grow your capacity to carry your mission forward.
Real Stories. Real Shifts.
Leading from Their True Power
The women who join Guts & Grace describe it as a transformational leadership journey that met them in exactly the ways they needed most. A turning point that brought them back to themselves and changed how they lead – for good.
Before starting the program, I was on the cusp of major life changes—a big new job in a new industry and city across the country, all while planning a wedding. I knew I needed support to manage it all without burning out. My perfectionism often led me to overwork and obsess over details to avoid mistakes. Guts & Grace helped me set better boundaries, navigate challenges with more grace and acceptance, and step into my voice and leadership. I now believe deeply in my value as a scientist and leader and feel excited for what’s ahead.Sr. Director of Platform Technology, Biotech Industry
At the start of the year, I felt lost and uninspired. A few months in, I felt the urge to think bigger. As Owner, Founder, and CEO of my social impact event planning company, I was used to carrying it all—so I took the scary leap to pause and delegate. Guts & Grace helped me find space to think beyond my role; it felt exhilarating, refreshing, and reassuring. I no longer need to move at full speed to feel valued. I felt seen and heard and I am ready for the next iteration of my company – and to step into my full potential as a leader.Founder & CEO at BB Events
I was immediately pleased with Guts & Grace from the first session. I felt welcomed and embraced. As an African American woman in a corporate role, I felt fully accepted and acknowledged. I found a supportive, diverse tribe willing to share and grow together. LeeAnn has such finesse and is in tune with individuals’ vibration and doesn't shy away from challenging your inner workings and disrupting your status quo.. If you’re considering joining, I’d ask: Why not you? Why not now? I’m so glad I said yes—you will be too.Global HR & Talent Development Leader at Cytiva | Doctorate of Law, JD
I came to the program burnt out and totally depleted from work. By working with LeeAnn over time, I not only built simple yet strong resilience practices, I also landed a job promotion into my next leadership role. LeeAnn was great at flexibly working with me over time, ensuring I was a part of the right programs for my development. The group coaching sessions are such a special way to engage with this work and learn from other women.Executive Engagement & Enterprise Sales at Apple
Guts & Grace has been one of the most meaningful investments I’ve made in my leadership. Through LeeAnn’s grounded attunement, strategic clarity, and how she holds space for true transformation, I’ve stepped into a more full-bodied and aligned way of leading that carries both ease and power. This work expanded my capacity, strengthened my boundaries, and helped me lead with steadiness and authenticity. It’s elevated my leadership to a new level—deepening how I influence teams, shape culture, and show up when it matters most.Technical Director & AI Integration Lead at McAfee
Guts & Grace isn’t just a coaching program—it’s a catalyst. Working with LeeAnn has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life, personally and professionally. She creates a space where truth can surface, where patterns become clear, and where real, sustainable change becomes possible. Her guidance helped me become a more intentional leader, resilient decision-maker, and authentic version of myself. I’m deeply grateful and would recommend it to any woman ready to expand her impact and align with her body and spirit.Head of Executive & Employee Comms at Bloomberg Industry Group

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Guts & Grace is for experienced women leaders navigating pivotal moments in their career, identity, or impact. Our members are executives, founders, change agents, and innovators who have already achieved traditional success and are now craving a way of leading that is sustainable, embodied, and deeply aligned.
Most identify as disruptors, system-shapers, or quiet visionaries. Many express a sense of relief upon joining: “I finally found my people.”
Guts & Grace is not an information-heavy skills program, nor is it a generic mastermind. It blends executive-level coaching with somatics and whole-person transformation. Guided by the founder, you’ll learn to lead from your intuition, body intelligence, and deepest values while also refining how you communicate, influence, and navigate complex systems.
What makes it stand apart:
- A yearlong integrated curriculum (a.k.a ‘the magic’)
- A custom app with short, potent modules (20–30 minutes each)
- Embodied practices rooted in nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and sustainable leadership
- A blend of personal transformation + strategic implementation
- Small-group coaching + individualized support
- A powerful community of high-level women across industries
- Immersive quarterly retreats for activation and deep integration
- Flexible pathways for executives, emerging leaders, and those between roles
This is leadership recalibrated from the inside out.
Guts & Grace is a 12-month program that includes a combination of:
- Monthly individual coaching
- Twice-monthly group coaching calls (one morning + one afternoon)
- Short, high-impact learning modules
- Quarterly optional retreats
- Practice + integration assignments (1–3 hours per month)
- A curated community and ongoing support
Women can join at the start of any quarter. A six-month option is occasionally available.
Guts & Grace is designed for high-performing women who are already stretched thin. In order to deliver maximum benefit with minimal busy-work, the time commitment is intentionally light:
- 20–30 minutes per module
- 1–3 hours of integration work per month
- 2 hours per month of group coaching
- 1 hour per month of individual coaching
The real transformation happens in the way you apply these practices to daily leadership moments, conversations, decisions, boundaries, and transitions. Most participants find that the clarity and groundedness they gain actually saves time – as they move through the program, and also in the long run.
It’s up to you! Guts & Grace program weekend retreats are optional but highly recommended. There are four retreats per year aligned with the quarters. Each one is unique, and coordinates with the virtual course themes. These in-person experiences accelerate growth, deepen relationships, and offer spacious, embodied integration of the material.
The good news is, Guts & Grace program grads get lifetime access to attend cohort retreats at just the room & board fees rate, as long as space is available. So if you miss the Q3 retreat in your first year, you can come back to it later. It’s one of our grads’ and cohort-members’ favorite perks, because it helps build new relationships across our entire community.
In fact, this can be one of the BEST times to join. Many Guts & Grace members start the program while:
- Navigating burnout
- Getting laid off
- Entering a new leadership role
- Preparing for a promotion
- Kicking off a new initiative
- Closing a chapter
- Reimagining their next evolution
The internal foundation you build here becomes the structure you carry into your next chapter – so it’s great to start when you are ready to (or you need to!) to reinvent yourself.
While every leader’s journey is unique, Guts & Grace graduates consistently report:
- Greater presence and clarity
- Healthier boundaries without guilt
- More courageous decision-making
- A refined leadership style aligned with values
- More ease and less over-efforting
- Increased confidence in high-stakes environments
- A regulated nervous system and renewed energy
- Deeper connection to intuition and inner wisdom
- A leadership identity that feels authentic and sustainable
Many participants describe it as: “The missing piece that finally made everything click.”
We value cross-sector learning, and believe it’s one of the biggest factors that expedites personal and professional growth. So our community is intentionally diverse.
Participants join from: Tech, Finance, Healthcare, Education, Consulting, Nonprofit + Philanthropy, Hospitality, Social Impact, Government, Engineering, Consumer Goods, Creative Industries, Entrepreneurship… and others. The make-up of every cohort is different, and synergies often about.
This cross-pollination creates rich conversations and powerful perspective shifts.
Helping you survive overwhelm is one of the primary reasons why Guts & Grace exists.
The program is designed for maximum transformation in minimum time. And if you’re stepping into something new such as a promotion, a major project, or a reimagined career direction, the practices inside Guts & Grace will help you start from a grounded, resourced place.
This work doesn’t add to your load. It helps you reorganize and reimagine it.
Very. We aim to ensure that every participant feels seen and well-met inside of the plan they choose. The details will depend on your plan:
- Professional Plan: Individual coaching with a trained Guts & Grace coach
- Executive Plan: Personal + strategic coaching directly with our founder LeeAnn
- Group Plan: Access to group coaching + community support (without 1:1 calls)
Whichever plan you choose, you can get a lot of personalized support in the group-coaching sessions and retreats, as long as you are willing to speak up. All individual coaching is fully custom, and scheduled at your convenience.
You’re ready if you feel:
- Called to your next evolution
- Tired of leading through force or exhaustion
- Ready for a more sustainable way of operating
- Aware something needs to shift
- Excited to join a community that matches your depth
- Committed to your growth as a leader and as a human
If you’re feeling either excited – or nervous – or both… you are probably ready. Trust it!
Because G&G offers multiple pathways and customizable support, investment details are scoped together and shared privately after your Discovery Call.
What we can share:
- It is comparable to traditional executive coaching engagements
- We aim for investments aligned to ~10% of salary as a benchmark
- About 60% self-fund and 40% receive company sponsorship
- Sponsorship tools are available
We ensure alignment before discussing numbers.
Yes. As part of every cohort, we offer a few partial scholarships for BIPOC women with limited financial resources who are deeply committed to their growth and impact. Many participants also find support through partial or full employer sponsorship, since Guts & Grace strengthens your leadership capacity and wellbeing, and typically has a big impact on how you show up at work.
That said, those who decide to self-fund their tuition also report tremendous satisfaction with their decision, even when it is a stretch, because they have full say in how they use their coaching time, with no company strings attached.
We encourage you to get clear on your commitment first — then explore the creative ways to fund your participation.
Start with your Guts & Grace Discovery Call Application and/or book an initial call. Once completed you’ll have a high-value, exploratory session with a member of our coaching team.
During the conversation, you’ll:
- Clarify your 12–18 month leadership vision
- Explore current challenges and opportunities
- Determine whether the program is a fit
Your coach will also begin to identify which tier of support matches your needs and answer any logistical questions. She may also invite you to follow up with our founder. If aligned, you’ll receive a customized engagement letter and an official invitation to join.
No. You can join at the start of any quarter. This provides a natural entry point while keeping the community dynamic and fresh.
At that time, most of our clients commit to joining the full program, and move from start to finish over the course of a year. Though a six-month option is occasionally available depending on timing, availability, and alignment. This can be discussed during your Discovery Call.
Not necessarily. You do not need a particular job title to receive the full benefit of what Guts & Grace has to offer. What matters is that you:
- Are shaping systems, teams, or culture
- Are committed to self-leadership and growth
- Want to lead in a way that feels true
- Value depth, integrity, and self-awareness
And that you are ready to invest energy, time and/or resources in your next evolution. If this resonates, you belong here.
Absolutely. Many of our most impactful leaders share these traits and they thrive in Guts & Grace. We treat sensitivity, intuition, and emotional intelligence as assets, not liabilities.
- Guts & Grace is our cornerstone yearlong program, teaching you the foundations of Full-Bodied Leadership. It offers the deepest and most comprehensive transformation, ideal for rebuilding your leadership style, or a professional reinvention.
- ACTIVATE is a short-format (but also deep!) reset designed to recalibrate your nervous system and interrupt self-sabotage patterns – delivered in a live retreat or self-study virtual course format. Ideal when you need a quick win.
- WorldShapers is an invite-only advanced cohort that serves leaders who are already shaping large-scale systems and want an intimate mastermind container. Ideal for our grads and other mystics-in-the-system.
Guts & Grace is the foundation. Our other offers expand or complement the work, based on your unique goals.
