Day One of fully believing in yourself.
Day One of finally knowing how to market your business.
This is your Day One.
You’ve done it all. You’ve tried it all. It’s time for a new day and a new way.
You need something different, but you don’t know what.
Day One of being honest with yourself.
You’re not everyone else.
You are YOU.
We’ve gotten to where we are because we both know ourselves
(and aren’t afraid to admit what we’re not.)
And we want the same for you.
It’s time for a change. It’s time for Day One – a conference designed to help put YOU back into your business.
We can’t wait to watch you shine.

WHAT PAST RETREAT/EVENT ATTENDEES ARE SAYING
The connections and memories that were made have completely blown us away. ⤵️
"The best investment I have ever made in myself! This social squad retreat was exactly what I needed for myself and my business. I was able to work on my business with the help of others in my industry and those I look up to. Just being able it be around women business owners who are working through the same things in life was so refreshing and motivating. Shannon and Emily are so incredibly knowledgable and willing to help out, answer any questions, share their own strategies, people, etc., without hesitation. Personally, I am not one to go on these types of things. It's not really in my comfort zone. But I knew it would be a big step for me. Traveling alone, to meet up with 16 women I had never met in real life was scary! But holy cow - best thing I've ever done. As a mom, I was able to show up and not have to worry about A THING. Every single thing was taken care of which was worth it in itself. I laughed and talked with so many incredible women and developed new friendships. Shannon, Emily, and their entire team put on an incredible retreat and I will NOT miss out on another one ever! Can't wait for next years!"
-Mary
"Buy the ticket - you will get out 100x more than you think you will. Shannon and Emily (and their incredible team) curated the most beautiful, special, caring events. Your business will be better because you came, but so will your soul. Get off the screen and get in person - nothing compares to the magic of being with these folks in real life."
