A Women's Circle
You don't have to
carry this alone.
A monthly support circle for women, by a woman who has navigated all of it — corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, tech, burnout, rebuilding — and spent 20 years studying the psychology underneath.
This is the place where your business, your mental health, your leadership, and your life stop being separate conversations.
This is for you if you've been performing through the storm.
You've done the therapy. Maybe you've worked with a coach. And both helped — up to a point. But there's a gap between the clinical hour and the real Monday morning. Between the framework and the feeling that someone actually gets it.
This circle lives in that gap.
It's not a program. It's not a course. It's a consistent community of women who are carrying real weight — and decided to stop carrying it alone.
You're in the workforce or building a business and the weight of it is real
You want support that doesn't require you to start from scratch every session
You're tired of spaces that feel polished but not honest
You have opinions about what's happening in the world and you want a room where that's not off-limits
You're not in crisis — you just want consistent community with people who understand
You believe in human rights, equity, and that the systems we're navigating deserve more than polite silence
You want to be around women who are likeminded — not just similar-minded
What makes this space different
You’ve done the work. You’re still exhausted.
Most high-achieving women are managing a small constellation of support — a therapist for the hard stuff, a business coach for growth, maybe a life coach for the identity questions, someone else for the tech, the marketing, the scaling decisions.
Each of those relationships helps. But none of them talk to each other. Which means you’re still the one carrying it all — translating between your personal life and your professional one, your mental health and your business strategy, who you are and what you’re building.
The circle is different because Stephanie is different.
She brings a master’s in performance psychology and an active PhD in trauma and community resilience — alongside 20+ years in Fortune 50 corporate leadership, multiple businesses, and deep roots in the tech space. When a question comes up about scaling your company, she’s there. When it’s about burnout, nervous system regulation, or trauma showing up in your leadership — she’s there. When it’s about marketing, technology, ethics, presenting, or what it costs to be a woman building something in this particular moment, she’s there.
You don’t have to segment yourself to get support you need. Bring the whole thing.
What the Circle Includes
Monthly Live Session
A structured but flexible group session each month — available virtually via Zoom and in-person in Spokane. Not a webinar. Not a lecture. A real conversation with a real facilitator.
Community Between Sessions
A private community group where members connect, share, and support each other between monthly sessions. The circle doesn't close when the Zoom does.
Weekly Prompts
A short weekly prompt to keep you connected to the work between sessions. Something to think about, something to notice. Not another thing on your to-do list.
Monthly Insights Email
A monthly email from Stephanie — resources, reflections, and frameworks grounded in performance psychology, trauma research, and 20+ years of real business experience.
Group-Built Boundaries
The group establishes its own norms together — which means everyone owns the container. Shared ownership creates something more durable than imposed rules.
Real Experience in the Room
Stephanie brings Fortune 50 corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, a master's in performance psychology, and an active PhD in trauma and community resilience. Not theoretical — lived.

Not a coach. A teacher.
Someone who's actually been there.
There's a version of support that's all credentials and no context. That's not this.
Stephanie High brings over 20 years in Fortune 50 corporate environments, in building her own businesses, in the tech space — alongside the academic depth to make sense of all of it. She holds a master's in performance psychology and is a PhD Candidate in trauma psychology and community resilience.
She's not going to tell you what high performance looks like in theory. She's going to sit with you in the reality of what it actually costs — and what it could look like if it cost a little less. This circle is personal to her. That's why it exists.
M.S. Performance Psychology

A container,
not a confessional.
Stephanie is not a therapist and this is not therapy. If you're in crisis, she will always point you toward the right support. But this space is for women who are functioning — and want to function better, together.
The group establishes its own norms in the first session. That means the boundaries belong to everyone — not just the facilitator. It creates something more powerful than rules: shared ownership of the space.
There's room here for frustration, grief, and real talk about what's happening in the world. There's also intention. The goal isn't to offload — it's to move through together.
Bring your frustration, your grief, your real experience — including what's happening politically and systemically
Talk about work, business, burnout, and the weight of navigating it all at once
Show up as you actually are — not the polished version you perform everywhere else
This is support with intention — not a space to offload without purpose or return
If you need clinical support, Stephanie will help you find it — and you're still welcome here alongside that if you are stable
What this space stands for
Likeminded,
not similar-minded.
This is not a neutral space. It is a brave one. We believe in human rights without asterisks, in equity that means something, in a woman's right to her own body and her own story. If the current moment has you frustrated, exhausted, or furious — you are welcome to bring that here.
To be clear about what this space is not: it is not a home for MAGA politics, white nationalism, or right-wing extremism. It is equally not a home for antisemitism, movements that celebrate violence against civilians, or any ideology — left or right — that requires the dehumanization of a group of people to sustain itself. You don't have to have it all figured out. You do have to believe that every person in this room is fully human. That's the floor.
Human Rights
Not a talking point — a baseline. Every person in this room deserves dignity, safety, and the right to exist fully and without apology.
Right to Voice
Including the right to be angry. To name what's wrong. To talk about systems, politics, and what's happening — without being told to stay positive.
Radical Inclusion
Open to women, women-identifying, and femme-presenting individuals. Full stop. No asterisks, no fine print, no debate about who belongs.
Bodily Autonomy
We believe in a woman's right to make decisions about her own body. This is not up for debate in this space.
Equality & Equity
We understand the difference — and we believe both matter. In this room and in the world outside it.
Confidentiality
What's shared in the circle stays in the circle. Trust is the foundation. It's built here — and protected here.
"We can talk about what's happening in the world. We can name the frustration. We can hold space for the grief. And then we can figure out together what to do with all of it."
