EP 13: Reclaiming Your Power, Rediscovering Your Purpose, and Refreshing Your Personal Brand

June 2026 Topic:  Reclaiming Your Power, Rediscovering Your Purpose, and Refreshing Your Personal Brand Description:  In this deeply reflective and empowering session, Olivia Omega reframes the idea of a “rebrand” into a “refresh” - a process of rediscovering, not reinvention. As life’s responsibilities shift, identities evolve, and the noise of people’s expectations begins to quiet, women are invited to reconnect with what has always been true—what they value, what they carry, and what they are called to do. Blending professional experience, personal insight, and practical reflection, Olivia will guide participants through the process of clarifying their voice, reclaiming their narrative, and intentionally shaping a renewed brand that reflects all they have become and all they have yet to embody. This is not about starting over—it is about moving forward with clarity, conviction, and purpose.

EP 12: Shift, Don't Overhaul. A Midlife Wellness Workshop.

June 2026 Topic:  Shift, Don’t Overhaul: A Midlife Wellness Workshop Before lisening, be sure to download your assessment here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zrz1ADUBTAa5xgpRGI6Wrs1k4WAJPvx0/view Description:  Perimenopause and menopause symptoms don’t arrive all at once. The changes (weight shifts, mood swings, sleep disruptions, energy dips) can show up gradually, over months or even years. But the moment a woman starts looking for answers, she’s hit with an avalanche of information: books, podcasts, articles, supplements, protocols, and opinions from every direction. No wonder it feels like too much.  When that happens, most women go one of two ways: they try to do more of what they’ve always done (push harder, eat less, exercise more), or they throw it all out and try to change everything at once. Both paths lead to the same place: burnout and frustration.  In this workshop, you’ll discover a third path. Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach and Founder of The Midlife Space™, April Izer, introduces the Simple Pillars Framework™: a practical, personalized approach to midlife health that meets you exactly where you are, not where you were at 25, and not where some protocol says you should be. You’ll walk through 12 key pillars of wellbeing, rate yourself honestly on each one, and leave with one focused goal and a clear first step. No overhaul required. Because the shifts that last aren’t the ones that disrupt your life. They’re the ones that fit it. You’ll leave with: a personal self-assessment, a clear goal set using proven goal-setting methodology, and a repeatable framework you can return to every season.

She is also the founder of The Midlife Space™, a coaching-forward membership community designed to support women through this season with guidance, accountability, and real-life tools.

To get your chart, you must enter your date of birth, time of birth, and city of birth. Yes, this might sound a little 'woo', but we promise, it will be worth it! In this workshop, we'll cut through leadership advice telling you to hustle harder, show up bigger, or fit into a mold. In this session, we'll explore your aura type and the best way to structure how you lead. We'll decode your decision-making authority and strategy so you can make leadership decisions without the mental spiral, trusting your body's signals instead of overthinking every choice. Give yourself permission to lead in a way that works for YOU by understanding your Human Design. When you know and understand your design, you will: 1. Stop trying to lead like everyone else and create your version. 2. Listen to your body's signals to steer you in the right direction. 3. Give yourself permission to structure your days in a way that works for you.

As a civil engineer with over 25 years of experience and a self-professed overthinker, she's found Human Design to be the one tool that helps calm the mind loops of decision-making. Human Design isn't just another personality assessment. It's a way to understand how you're wired to make decisions and tap into energy around you.

EP 9: Navigating Life's Polarities

February 2026 Topic: A Practical Guide to Navigating Life’s Polarities Description:  In moments of leveling up, we often find ourselves caught between two important truths: wanting stability and craving change. Prioritizing others and needing time for ourselves. Seeking confidence and practicing humility. These aren’t problems to solve—they’re polarities to navigate. In this interactive session, we’ll explore the concept of polarities through a guided mapping process adapted from the Navigating Polarities method. You'll choose one real-life tension you're holding and learn how to move from stuck and spinning to grounded and clear—without having to pick just one side.   In This Workshop, We Explore:    *  How to recognize a polarity (vs. a problem to solve)  *  Surface the wisdom in both poles: why each side matters  *  Map your own polarity to reveal your unique “trap” patterns  *  Leave with a personal strategy for moving forward with clarity and self-trust  This session is perfect for anyone navigating growth—and looking for tools to move forward without abandoning any part of themselves. Stay Connected:  * Connect with her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-kornhauser/ * Learn more about her work and services: https://www.sarahkornhauser.com About Sarah Kornhauser: Sarah Kornhauser is Principal and Founder of The SDK Group.

Every engagement is shaped by what’s most urgent, human, and possible for an organization right now. When she's not working with entrepreneurs and leaders, you can find her spending time outside with family, or hosting a great dinner party.
