You’re In!
October 21–23, 2026 · New York City
This retreat is built around connection, clarity, and proof: proof you're not alone in this, proof this economy hasn't stopped us, and proof that the assets you need to move forward are closer than you think, including the woman sitting next to you.
You'll leave lighter, not heavier. Inspired, not overwhelmed. With more clarity than you came in with about exactly what to focus on when you get home.
✈️ Boarding for New York
Until welcome cocktails, Wednesday, October 21
Two things to do right now
Small stuff, but do it today so it's off your plate.
This is where we'll post updates as details firm up, and where you can start connecting with other attendees before you even land in the city.
Join the channelWednesday evening through Friday at noon. Get it locked in now so nothing creeps in on you later.
How the days will unfold
Welcome cocktails
We kick things off with a drink and time to finally meet the other women in the Academy in real life (and your coaches too). Details TBD, more to come soon.
Our full day together, 9:30am–5pm
MorningA candid look at what's really going on in this economy, and in your business, followed by a hands-on session that gets you crystal clear on the two or three things worth focusing on when you get home.
AfternoonSee what's actually working for other members right now. Real posts, real approaches, real results, shared live so you can steal what's landing and make it yours.
Open studio, wraps by noon
Bring your laptop, get things done alongside the group, and pull in an SGP coach for a second set of eyes if you want one.
Getting there and getting around
Everything you need to plan your trip. We'll send a fuller know-before-you-go guide closer to the date.
The Neighborhood, At A Glance
A stylized sketch, not to scale, just to get you oriented.
Closest Subway & Bus
Flying In
The closest option, about 8 miles out. The free Q70 bus connects to the subway, or take the M60 bus straight into Manhattan. Allow an hour if you're driving or in a rideshare.
About 15 miles out. The AirTrain connects to the E subway line for a reliable ride in. Budget 75 minutes or so, door to door.
About 11 miles out, technically in New Jersey. The AirTrain connects to NJ Transit or Amtrak into Penn Station, a short walk from the venue.
NYC traffic is unpredictable, so build in extra time either way, especially if you're arriving during rush hour.

A couple more things coming your way
Nothing to do here yet, just a heads up on what's headed to your inbox.
We're working on a discounted group rate nearby. The moment it's locked in, you'll see the code and booking link right here.
A short survey to confirm dietary restrictions and a few other details will land in your inbox as we get closer. Two minutes, tops.
“We're so excited to host you. Can't wait to see you in that room.”
