The four weeks of ‘Circle of Women’ reminded me that I am never alone and that there is enormous power in sharing with others. The sense of relief and reprieve that we are so connected by our experiences was edifying. The wisdom we shared with one another and nuggets of insight expressed, made me feel part of something bigger than me. I loved the safe environment, which was created by you Ilze, in which each of the attendees felt comfortable to share.    How wonderful to know that a group of strangers from across the globe could be such great teachers and comfort to one another. I am humbled by the journeys of others and comforted by the thought that I now have a new group of friends I can call on to share my life’s dreams and challenges with. ‘I am because of you’ has taken on a whole new meaning. It has made me braver than I thought I could ever be. I now have a refined roadmap and taking the action steps to get to the masterplan of my life, all the way knowing it’s not a destination but a journey. A journey of self-growth, empowerment and of understanding how important it is to really know myself.

In an effort to navigate the now I needed to re-think what got me here won't get me there....(my heart's desire). I joined @Ilze Alberts circle of women, a 4-week series, that assisted in clearing the clutter and helping me with a road map to what I want to achieve and how I want to live in the world. The time spent with the group helped me focus, Ilze's insight retooled me and my next steps. If you are in need of a path or a light please join her in September for the next session of a Circle of Women.

I don't know how to thank the women in this group for being so vulnerable. As a mother, I soak up every little thing I can learn from other moms/businesswomen etc.... I think Ilze has created something incredibly special here.

Circle of Women should be compulsory. I am completely a different woman now because of Circle of Women. I am thriving
