Your best year ever starts in the right room.

What does your best year ever mean? It means stepping unapologetically into your power, your authenticity, and your desires.

  • Unapologetic about the goal that scares you.
  • Unapologetic about walking away from what isn't working.
  • Unapologetic about the money you want to make.
  • Unapologetic about the boundary you keep almost setting.
  • Unapologetic about wanting it all.
  • Unapologetic about being too much for people who wanted you smaller.

Jump Start is an annual retreat hosted by The Crew. It's hands down my favorite event of the year. The vibe is edgy, real, and come-as-you-are. No Zoom squares, no multitasking, no performing. Just expert coaches, real accountability, and a room full of women who go after what they want.

Women from all walks of life show up, in different industries and different chapters, and that mix is the point. Past attendees have walked away with new collaborators, clients, mentors, and friends.

Save my seat

Last year, one woman in this room decided to open a bookstore.

Jen Sharon is a romance book editor who had been dreaming about her own shop. At Jump Start 2026 she decided she was done just dreaming about it.

This fall, Tryst opened its doors in Walla Walla. It might be the cutest little bookstore you've ever seen.

That's what the right room does. It shows you what's possible, and then you go do it.

Jump Start is one of the best events I have ever been to. I was on a high for weeks after the event.

The change I felt in myself when I stepped out of that room on Sunday was immediate and absolutely life changing in the best ways. Everyone needs this in their lives.

Tish M.

Going to Jump Start is like showing up in a room full of cheerleaders you never knew you had. It's a place to be fully present and open and honest.

Kristin W.

I was so happy with what I learned at Jump Start and had time to take some breaths and let some stress of everyday life wash away. I came back home to my family and business very refreshed and full of energy and ideas.

Cheryl S.

Jump Start reignited my motivation and made me realize how long it's been since I felt that kind of joy and excitement. You'll learn from some amazingly smart, badass women!

Andrea H.

This was my second year attending Jump Start and I truly feel like it just keeps getting better each year. It is an experience that will challenge you, grow you, and connect you with people who truly get it.

Katie S.

This retreat was so fun and inspiring! Dressing up as my future self was a highlight for me and it ended up inspiring my newest program!

Jen P.

It's not about "resolutions" or "setting goals." It's about entering the year with the right mindset, the right tools, and the right ENERGY to live the life of your dreams, surrounded by other powerful women on that same journey.

Zarya R.

I left Jump Start feeling lighter and more hopeful than I had in months.

Carly R.

To be around other women who aren't there to judge you, but to step alongside you is refreshing.
