Advocacy in Action: A Grace-Centric Approach
The time is now to be part of the change in advancing equity.
You feel called to engage more. You recognize the need to advocate in a way that invites new ways of thinking. You’re ready for greater impact without causing harm.
This program is designed to help all women engage in advocacy in a way that centers transformation, integrity, and grace.
It’s rooted in the awareness that how we do the work is just as important as the work itself.

" I absolutely loved and am grateful for my experience participating in the pilot Advocacy in Action group. Annie is an incredibly dynamic coach and I appreciate how down to earth and real she is. I personally found the content to be rich, soul-connecting, empowering, and transformative. During the program I felt and noticed an immediate shift in myself and with more alignment to my values. While in some ways I’ve been doing this work personally for years, I now feel like I have more alignment and direction. This cohort gave me the guidance, support, and tools that I’ve been looking for, and I hope we all stay in touch! "
“I think for me the word that means the most is expanding. I feel like this time together made me expand my thinking of how I can be a better advocate, expanding my thinking about how I can better take care of myself, how better I can interact with others.” “It’s shown me how I can be the best person I can be. You've given us so many tools that I feel this expansiveness happened with all the things that you've shared with us. So, I'm very grateful.”
In this coaching program, you’ll learn, practice, and grow.

“My word is motivation. The whole approach that you've had, Annie, motivates me to be about this work. It's like, I'm reading over these handouts and I'm thinking, as a person who incorporates these kinds of tools, you become a person that listens more than they talk, you become a person that speaks and bridges conversations beautifully. You can become a person that people want to be with, because you can create space for a lot. It empowers us. So im motivated. What a great set of tools to give us!”
“It's self-evaluating, recognizing. Contemplative - when is my next opportunity going to present itself, where I can try to utilize the tools? How is it going to impact, or what kind of changes could come to my existing relationship? So, I think contemplative is the word. It's given me a lot to think about.

From our members...
“I just can't stop thinking about the sessions that we have. It just makes me think that there's so much more to do and so much more to learn, and I'm excited about that. I've started to tell other people about it, because I come away so excited.” “It's been brilliant. I don't want it to end.”
This program is for women who are ready to feel more empowered, equipped, and engaged.
Advocacy in Action is designed for all women who care deeply about equity and want to grow as advocates — not with shame, but with grace, purpose, and clarity.
This is program is perfect for you if…
• You’re a coach, therapist, educator, DEIB leader, or nonprofit professional who believes in equity but wants a more grounded, graceful way to lead this work.
• You’re passionate about equity and desire greater impact in your conversations at home, in your community, and the world at large.
• You’re someone who has read the books, listened to the podcasts, attended the trainings — but you're still asking: “How do I show up in real life without causing more harm?”
• You’ve felt paralyzed by fear of saying the wrong thing or being performative, and you're ready to move past that — with tools and confidence.
• You want to advocate in ways that are transformational, not transactional — rooted in heart, not ego.
• You’re tired of feeling like you're tiptoeing or shutting down in hard conversations — and you're looking for a supportive space to build courage.
• You don’t just want to be an ally — you want to be a grace-centered leader for equity, justice, and community healing.
If you’ve been quietly but deeply committed to equity… and you’re ready to grow into the kind of advocate this world needs — this is your invitation.
You don't need to be perfect. You just need to be willing.

• Your willingness to reflect, receive feedback, or consider new approaches is necessary for success.
• Your understanding that equity requires ongoing action, skill-building, and accountability, and this is a space to do that.

“I just want to say, I have really valued experience in this time. I signed up for the AiA coaching program the minute I saw the announcement—I knew it offered exactly what I needed to strengthen my advocacy skills. Although the five-week schedule conflicted with previously planned travel and I missed many of the live sessions, I listened to the recordings and worked diligently through the homework. Annie’s thoughtful syllabus and powerful self-reflection prompts kept me engaged and growing every day. Even without full participation in real time, the experience was deeply valuable—I can only imagine how rich it would have been to be more fully present in person. This coaching program went far beyond the typical call-outs and social media debates, teaching me how to engage in advocacy with grace, integrity, and purpose. I learned how to cultivate an empowered mindset, approach difficult conversations with compassion, and communicate in ways that truly resonate from the heart. The program gave me practical tools to navigate discomfort, offer feedback thoughtfully, and sustain my advocacy work without burning out. I feel better equipped not just to speak up, but to create meaningful change in a way that is both impactful and deeply fulfilling."

“Each of your stories have helped me exponentially - shift exponentially – heal, and this collectiveness, this sisterhood. It's healing that wound, caring for each other, women caring for each other, women being authentic and being vulnerable, sharing our struggles and our successes. You can read a book. We can read a tip sheet. But it comes to life in depth. We have word to do and this group helps me see that it’s possible.”
We asked our members: What one word describes your experience here? Their answers say it all.
• Motivating • Soul Connecting • Contemplative
