W.O.M.E.N. in Leadership Conference Tour - Portland

Courtyard Portland City CenterPortland, OR
Saturday, Apr 11 from 11 am to 4 pm
Overview

A mental wellness and self-care conference for professional women navigating leadership, burnout, and invisible pressure.

Leading Without Losing Yourself

A Mental Wellness & Self-Care Conference for Women in Leadership

Professional women are doing everything right - and still paying the price.

They lead teams.
They navigate bias.
They carry invisible labor at work and at home.
They push through pressure quietly because that’s what’s expected.

And too often, the cost shows up as:

  • Burnout that no promotion fixes
  • Chronic stress that feels “normal” but isn’t
  • Isolation at the top with no safe place to be honest
  • A constant sense of needing to prove worth again and again

This conference exists because leadership should not require self-erasure.


This is not a motivational event.

It’s a grounded, grown-woman space for professional women who are:

  • Navigating inequity and the gender pay gap
  • Hitting invisible ceilings despite qualifications and experience
  • Carrying the weight of work, family, and expectation
  • Tired of being “resilient” without support
  • Ready to lead without burning themselves down


What makes this conference different

This is not about hustling harder or “doing more self-care.”

It’s about:

  • Protecting your mental health while leading
  • Naming the pressure no one talks about
  • Learning practical tools for boundaries, sustainability, and clarity
  • Rebuilding internal capacity, not just external success
  • Connecting with women who understand the real cost of leadership

You’ll experience honest conversations, thoughtful sessions, and meaningful connection - without performance, competition, or pretense.


Who this conference is for

This space is for:

  • Professional women and women in leadership roles
  • Executives, managers, entrepreneurs, and high-achievers
  • Women navigating intersectional challenges
  • Women who are successful on paper but exhausted in real life
  • Women who want to lead well without losing themselves

You don’t need to be broken to belong here. You just need to be human.


What you’ll leave with

  • Mental clarity and emotional grounding
  • Language for boundaries that actually stick
  • Tools to reduce burnout and decision fatigue
  • A renewed sense of self-trust
  • Real connection with women who get it

Most importantly, you’ll leave knowing:

You are not weak for needing support.
You are wise for seeking it.


This is your permission to pause - without falling behind.

To breathe - without guilt.
To lead - without losing yourself.
