April 2025 Summit Recap: Boldly You! Shine Without Apology Summit!
In April 2025, we gathered in the beautiful setting of the Wisdom House Retreat and Conference Center for a powerful day of self-discovery, connection, and courageous leadership at the Boldly You! Shine Without Apology Summit.
This event was more than just a summit — it was a celebration of authenticity, confidence, and unapologetic brilliance. Women from all walks of life came together to reflect, reset, and reclaim their voice and vision.
The evening before the summit, we kicked things off with a warm and welcoming Pre-Summit Dinner, featuring special guest Mary Carangelo, author of The Secrets in Your Closet: Style Your Confidence. Her insights on self-expression and confidence set the perfect tone for what was to come — reminding us that how we show up on the outside can be a reflection of our boldness within.
Summit Day was filled with energy, breakthroughs, and bold truths. Through guided exercises, interactive sessions, and deep conversations, we uncovered the mental blocks that hold us back and reignited our commitment to our purpose. Together, we explored how to overcome self-doubt, advocate for ourselves, and lead from a place of grounded confidence.
Every attendee walked away with a Shine Without Apology Empowerment Plan — a personalized roadmap to own their voice, take up space, and lead with bold intention.
The room was filled with laughter, tears, aha moments, and most of all — women supporting women.
When women rise boldly, unapologetically, and in community — the results are extraordinary.
Stay tuned for the next Boldly You! event, and join the movement to lead, live, and shine — without apology.
Testimonials:
“I had the honor and privilege of attending Coach Jackie’s women’s retreat. I will honestly say that I went in open minded. I did not know what to expect until I met these inspiring women. I have never felt so fulfilled, relaxed, and empowered all at the same time. The series of events over the two days fit so well with this group. I left with a plan feeling confident enough to execute. I also spent a lot of time reflecting which has helped me in defining my purpose. This event exceeded all of my expectations. Coach Jackie is extraordinary and I encourage anyone struggling with their purpose to reach out.”

“From the moment I walked into the retreat center, I was greeted by warm smiles and felt the positive energy buzzing! Coach Jackie has special gifts for making others feel comfortable and uniting a room. Even though I didn’t know most of the attendees, she quickly helped me connect with other amazing women. Under her leadership, the day was fun and flew by fast. The content and conversations were thought-provoking, providing me with new insights about myself, my purpose, and my values—insights that I’ve since applied to my business. I highly recommend working with Jackie and/or attending one of her events. Not only does she inspire people to become the best versions of themselves with her shine and charisma, but she also has a remarkable ability to help others discover what makes them great.” Allysa Hawn
