Winter 2026–27 Cohort
A three-month practice of live virtual sessions for women ready to redefine leadership, remember their intuition, and make room for the version of themselves that is ready to emerge.
December 2026 – February 2027
Facilitated by Sydney Blum
Nine live sessions · Eight to ten participants
Enrolment opens October 14.
There are times when we can feel ourselves changing before we know where the change is taking us.
We start imagining differently. An idea keeps returning. Something we have wanted for years suddenly feels closer. Or a misalignment we've been tolerating feels more pronounced than ever before. We notice ourselves responding differently to relationships, opportunities or ways of working that once felt completely normal.
Sometimes there is an obvious transition underway. Often there isn't.
What interests me is the intelligence underneath it.
Your facilitator
I work with people navigating complexity, as a strategist, facilitator, mentor and increasingly as a writer. Much of my professional life has been spent alongside leaders, organizations and communities trying to create meaningful change inside systems that are rarely simple.
Woven through that work, intuitive sensing has been part of my lived experience for as long as I can remember. I've spent much of my adulthood developing my relationship with intuition, embodiment, intergenerational insight and what it means to truly trust ourselves.
ILI grew from bringing these dimensions of my life and work together. I've now shared it with multiple cohorts, and it has become the piece of my practice I care most deeply about.
Redefining leadership
For me, that means taking our own gifts, agency and inner knowing seriously, and bringing them into the core of how we participate in our lives, our communities and the systems we want to change.
I have seen what becomes possible when women stop leaving themselves behind as they build a better future.
Women have come through ILI and grown businesses, scaled their impact, made decisions they had been circling for years and stepped more fully into expressions of their inner and outer leadership. Others have changed direction, allowed themselves to rest, or made room for a life they were reaching for but couldn't yet see when they arrived.
These aren't opposite outcomes.
Again and again, I have watched people go further precisely because they were willing to go deeper.
And while ILI puts you at the centre of your life and leadership, what you practice inevitably ripples out far beyond your individual life.
Who this is for
ILI is for women already meaningfully engaged in their lives who feel ready for a deeper relationship with themselves.
You might be leading a team or organization, building a business, working in academia or public service, creating change in your community, or doing work that doesn't fit neatly into any of those.
You may also be parenting or caregiving, engaged in your own creative pursuits, or wondering where your own dreaming fits alongside everything you already hold.
The ILI Journey
Across nine live sessions, we begin by reconnecting with intuition, bring that practice into real questions in your life, and make space to notice and integrate what changes along the way.
I
Meeting intuition as something you already have access to, and learning the particular way it speaks to you.
We begin by grounding into our personal and collective intentions for the ILI journey. We explore your existing relationship with your intuition, including where you already trust it, where you question it, and how you recognize it in your own life and leadership.
We explore how attention and intention shape what we notice, and what changes in how we lead and make decisions when we begin paying attention to the ways intuition already shows up.
We experiment with different ways of sensing, noticing and receiving, so you can become more familiar with how intuition tends to show up for you.
We dive into what happens when what you sense internally and how you respond externally are not fully aligned, and how we recognize those discrepancies.
II
A facilitated process built for inquiry rather than advice, across three sessions.
Each participant brings a real question into a facilitated process built for inquiry rather than advice. As much happens through witnessing others as through your own turn.
We make space to notice what has shifted, what has become more visible, and whether you are relating differently to the question you brought in.
III
Naming what has changed, and the practices and ways of knowing you want to carry forward.
We explore the beliefs and patterns that shape how we lead and move forward, including the relationship between what we know, what we believe is possible, and how we choose to live.
We bring the three months together, making space to voice what you want to carry forward in your practices, relationships and ways of knowing. The group also has an opportunity to express gratitude to each member and the process as a whole.
The container
One of the biggest things I have learned running ILI is that the other participants are not simply part of the experience.
They are part of the practice.
There is something powerful about spending three months with a small group of experienced, thoughtful individuals who are holding their own questions and are willing to be honest that none of us has it all figured out.
You start recognizing yourself in other people's stories. Someone asks a question you would never have asked yourself. You notice a pattern because you can see it more easily in someone else. Someone makes a choice that expands your own sense of what is possible.
And you find out what it is like to be supported without someone trying to solve it for you.
What participants have noticed
I gained confidence in surrendering and trusting the changes happening in my business. I heard my intuition that things can change and continue to be successful. I would be holding more fear if I had not had this experience.

Jessica FlynnAward-Winning Educator, Best-Selling Author, TV Host, and EntrepreneurPeer input sessions were fantastic and supportive. I appreciate the witnessing and the questions posed in order to further root the question or decision. It felt so powerful and potent, both as the asker and as the questioner.

If you're reading this and thinking, this might be for me, I'd love to connect.
I live and work in Collingwood, Ontario, within the traditional territory of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation.
The work of inner leadership and stepping into wholeness begins with remembering the lands, waters, and human histories that hold us. I honour the First Nations and Indigenous Peoples who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial. From this remembering, we are called to act with more humility, responsibility, care, and commitment to reconciliation and repair.
Leave your name and I'll be in touch when enrolment opens, before it is announced anywhere else.
