IT’S OFFICIAL. 💗 Her Comeback Year 2.0: Your 2027 Pinkprint is HERE.

And this is not four hours of me motivationally speaking to you.

Because I’m not a motivational speaker. 😂

This is a WORKshop.

On November 7th, 25 women business owners will come together in Conroe, TX to look at their businesses from a different lens, make decisions about what deserves their time and energy in 2027, and leave knowing what they’re actually doing next.

You’re not coming just to listen. You’re coming to WORK.

✨ 4-hour interactive business workshop
✨ Light breakfast bites + lunch 
✨ Specialized Coffee
✨ Curated Founder Gift Bag — thoughtfully selected items from brands and businesses I genuinely wanted represented in the room. Nothing was added just to fill a bag.
✨ Content Creation Experience
✨ Two complimentary professional photos from a professional 
✨ Giveaways from local businesses
✨ A room full of women building businesses right alongside you

And SURPRISE: payment plans are available. 💗

I know small business owners are working with real budgets, and I wanted to create another way to get yourself in the room without having to pay everything at once.

There are only 21 tickets available to the public. Once those seats are gone, they’re gone.

Not another room telling you to dream bigger.

A room that helps you figure out what you’re actually doing next.

Your 2027 Pinkprint starts here. 💗

🎟️ Tickets are officially LIVE. Grab your seat at the link in my bio or comment “pink print” and will send you the link!

More than 2,000 new people have joined this community in less than 7 days, so I figured it was time to properly introduce myself! 

Hi, I’m Dr. J, and I make leadership and business easier to understand as a strategist. I have a Ph.D. in Leadership and my research focuses on authentic leadership organizational commitment. My mission is to help leaders and women business owners build strong foundations with practical, research-backed strategies.

I’m a little unconventional. I question the advice everyone else repeats, I don’t believe in gatekeeping, and I value transparency over perfection. You’ll get the wins, the lessons, and the moments that don’t go as planned because that’s what real growth looks like.

Also, there’s a good chance I’m drinking a Coke Zero or cold brew while creating content, in client meetings and workshops! 

Whether you’re here to become a better leader, build a stronger business, or both, I’m grateful you decided to be here.

Thank you for being part of this community. We’re just getting started. 🫰🏽 taken in Houston, Texas by @leadwithbalance

This one is a little more personal.

Before the PhD, the business, and the leadership roles, there were moments that shaped who I am today. This is my story, and the roots behind Lead With Balance.

Thank you for being here, for reading, and for being part of this community. I hope my journey reminds you that your story matters too, and that it inspires you in your leadership and entrepreneurial journey. 🤍

Still learning. Still unlearning. And some days are easier than others. 💗

If you’re figuring this out too, welcome to my page. We’re learning together.

Some managers spend more time monitoring every little thing their employees do than working on becoming better leaders themselves.

I, on the other hand, believe leadership starts with being willing to look at your own behaviors, recognize where you need to improve, and actually DO something about it.

And I’ve made peace with that honestly. 🙈

Because how can we expect our employees to grow if we aren’t willing to do the same?

QUESTION, have you ever worked for a manager who monitored EVERYTHING you did but couldn’t recognize their own leadership issues?

Virtual events have made education and networking more accessible, and I LOVE that! But I also think there’s something valuable about getting people in the same room.

Research supports the benefits of face-to-face interactions, especially when it comes to collaboration and generating new ideas.

And that’s something I considered when creating Her Comeback Year 2.0.

I intentionally capped the workshop at 25 women because I want to be able to work WITH attendees, answer questions specific to their businesses, and give them opportunities to learn from each other.

We’re doing a SWOT analysis, looking at how personality influences business decisions, working on 2027 priorities, and having a marketing strategy session.

And yes, we’ll have time for photos because we’re at the Pink Shutter House, after all. 💖

Registration closes TOMORROW, October 14. If you’ve been considering attending, this is your last full day to grab a ticket. Link in bio! taken in Houston, Texas by @leadwithbalance

Girl, I KNOW you saw this 👀 If you’ve been thinking about attending Her Comeback Year 2.0, this is your reminder that registration closes October 14!

We’re talking 4 hours dedicated to YOUR business. Figuring out what’s working, what needs to change, and what you actually want to focus on in 2027 based on your own data!

And because I intentionally keep this workshop small, you’ll have the space to ask questions, work through your ideas, and get practical guidance specific to YOUR business.

📍 November 7 | Conroe, TX
⏰10-2
💖Pink Shutter House

Come ready to WORK, laugh, connect, and leave with a plan you can actually use.

One thing I wish more new managers understood is that an employee constantly coming to you for answers doesn’t automatically mean they lack initiative.

Sometimes they don’t have enough information. Sometimes they’re afraid of making the wrong decision. And sometimes, without realizing it, YOU may have created an environment where employees feel they need your approval for everything.

That’s why the questions you ask matter.

The goal isn’t to make employees figure everything out alone. It’s to help them build confidence, think through problems, and know when they need your support.

And if you liked these 5 questions, I’ve got 50 MORE for you! 💗

I created a FREE guide with 50 conversation starters to help leaders have better 1:1s, build trust, and understand their employees beyond their daily tasks.

What if the best thing you could do for your business right now is step away from running it long enough to really look at it? 

Because when you’re busy answering emails, creating content, serving clients, and handling everything else, when do you actually have time to sit down and figure out what’s working and what’s not?

And I’m not talking about making another vision board or writing down 20 goals you’ll forget about by February. 

That’s why I created Her Comeback Year 2.0: Your 2027 Pinkprint. 💗

On November 7, we’re spending four hours doing something many business owners rarely make time for: working ON their businesses instead of just IN them.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

💗 Take a closer look at what’s working in your business and what needs to change.

💗 Understand how your personality influences the way you communicate, lead, and make business decisions.

💗 Walk away with clearer priorities and next steps for 2027.

💗 Connect with other women business owners, create fresh content, and get some beautiful photos while you’re at it!

And no, you won’t be sitting through four hours of me giving motivational speeches. 😂 You’re coming to WORK.

Here’s the thing: November 7 is going to come whether you attend or not.

But imagine leaving that room feeling more confident about what your business needs from you next.

Only 7 days left to reserve your seat! Registration closes October 14.

Comment PINKPRINT and I’ll send you the details. 💗

Sometimes you don’t need another person telling you to dream bigger. You need the space to look at what you’ve built, make some decisions, and figure out what the hell you’re doing next.

That’s exactly why I created Her Comeback Year 2.0: Your 2027 Pinkprint. 💗

A four-hour, in-person workshop for women business owners ready to take an honest look at their business, figure out what’s working and what needs to change, and leave knowing what they’re prioritizing in 2027.

Not four hours of me talking at you. You’re coming to WORK. 💗

Doors close October 14. Comment PINKPRINT and I’ll send you the details.

Four hours to look at your business differently, figure out what’s working (and what isn’t), understand how YOU influence the way you run it, and leave with clear priorities for 2027. 

And yes, we’re taking cute pictures too 💅

Some leadership opinions I will absolutely stand on. 👇

You can have experience AND still have room to become a better leader. That’s why I’m big on combining what we learn from actually leading people with what the research tells us works.

And one thing I’ll always push for? Better conversations with your employees.

If your 1:1s need some help, I created 50 questions you can actually use with your team.

Comment MOTIVATION and I’ll send you the free guide!
