Healing is Hilarious

Taking the leap sounds exciting until you’re standing at the edge. Comedian and Intuitive Speaker, Rachel LaForce, helps creators and entrepreneurs navigate the fear, doubt, and chaos that come before clarity.

Through her signature framework, The Lightning Method™, Rachel blends humor, honesty, and practical tools to help audiences trust their intuition, reframe chaos as growth, and build rhythms that support bold decisions without burnout. Attendees leave laughing, grounded, and equipped with real tools to leap - and land - with courage and clarity.

Integration is the New Flex: A New Paradigm for Soul-Led Success

Come if you're ready to make your business a reflection of your inner alignment, not just your output.

Inside the Club, she’s helped 40+ founders send un-salesy emails that

Maria will lead this discussion on tactical strategies for writing emails and marketing content that comes from your voice and uniqueness (and doesn’t sound like a bot).

Lunch Break

Activation Stations

  • First Date Energy: Your Email Funnel That Actually Converts

    Featuring Krista Ripma

    Your first impression counts—how people meet you, what you offer first, and what happens after they click is the difference between “cute content” and real momentum.

    One of the best uses of paid ads I’ve seen (in my business and with clients) is using them to grow an email list the right way: value first, then nurture trust in the inbox.

    In this live activation, I’ll show you exactly how to build an intentional top-of-funnel—freebie + welcome sequence + simple roadmap—so paid attention turns into an owned audience.

  • Channeled Business Reading

    Featuring Crystal Moreland

    Your channeled business reading offers you the clarity to:

    • Know what's specifically right for YOUR business (not what works for everyone else)

    • Finally understand what's been keeping you stuck

    • Feel clear and confident about your path forward

    • Trust yourself and take action without needing permission

    • Step fully into the leader your business needs you to be

  • Body-Led Business: Using Your Symptoms To Unlock Your Next Level

    Featuring Morgan Staton

    Your body is speaking...are you ready to listen? In this session, you will uncover what your physical symptoms are really communicating and how those connect to hidden blocks keeping your stuck.

    Through guided body awareness, reflective exercises, actionable strategies, and a little intuitive magic, you'' tap into your body's intelligence, release resistance, and step boldly into your next level.

  • The Church Method: The Email Strategy Behind Every $10K Day

    In this workshop, I’ll walk you through my signature email strategy to plan 6 weeks of strategic newsletters that lead to $10k days, not months.

    You’ll walk away with an easy-to-execute email strategy and 6+ newsletter ideas, perfect for pre-launch nurturing.

  • A woman with long brown hair, wearing a red jacket, sitting next to a red brick wall, holding a red card with white basketball graphics and the word 'Passion'.

    Voice Message to Your Future Self

    Featuring Katie MacLachlan

    At this station, you’ll step away from the noise and speak directly to the version of you who’s already on the other side of what you’re building.

    Using a vintage rotary phone, you’ll leave a private voice memo to your future self, capturing what you know right now, before it gets edited by doubt, timelines, or other people’s expectations.

    At a later point in time, that message will find its way back to you—delivered alongside an intuitively pulled card and channeled guidance from Katie.

    This is a time capsule. A mirror. A receipt for your becoming.

    You won’t remember exactly what you said. But when it returns, you’ll hear how far you’ve come and what part of you already knew.

  • Legal Office Hours

    Featuring Maria Spear Ollis

    Book your legal office hours with our resident attorney (and Soulward co-founder!), Maria Spear Ollis.

    This can be structured as:

    • A q&a session where you get your questions answered,

    • A walkthrough and legal audit of your website (with feedback on legal blind spots to cover and how to cover them), or

    • A walkthrough of your next launch.

    Whatever you choose, you’ll leave this activation station having built enforceable boundaries in your business. (And, bonus, a surprise treasure to help you energetically embody those boundaries.)

Keynote

Keynote

Instead of closing with an inspiring tale, we’re closing with a next step. Consider this a Claiming Ceremony.

Surprise: the key note is… you.

After a brief discussion on the threshold on which we’re standing, attendees will break into Claiming Circles for a brief exercise that will have you thinking back to your yearbook days.

Then, each attendee will have the opportunity to share, in their voice (if desired! No pressure, here.) the work they’re doing and what they’re leaping into.

Then, we’ll all participate in a collective close, sealing what we learned and embodied at Soulward Summit.

In other words, we’re reframing authority away from the stage and back into the room.
