Your mental health matters. Mina meetings is trauma informed with the process being one that supports you and your nervous system in a healthy way.
Are you ready to create the life you have always wanted?
Growing up when I heard, “Do what you love and the money will follow.” I thought it was something rich people made up to fool poor people.
I’m not joking.
Could you actually make real money doing what you love and if you could, how do you find out what you love anyway?
The way I looked at it was that “successful people” knew something that “not-successful” (me back then) did not know and if I could just figure it out I could become “successful” too.
That was 24 years ago and you know, I was right, “they” knew something I didn’t and it was so far from what I could have imagined.
For starters, it wasn’t any one thing that created success. If you treated success like a target it would always move.
That the more you chased money the more it would elude you.
That success can actually be really fun and you never have to sacrifice who you are or your values to achieve it.
In fact, who you are and your values are a great foundation for creating success.
When you have this foundation and you build the right skills on top of them you start creating your own personal formula for success.
One that you get to keep with the skills to update as you walk through life.
The reality of how to be successful was something I had no clue of back then and so many of the messages I was receiving about success were anything but what would really create it.
They were about formulas and frameworks, learning soundbites of what to say and what not to say and funnels and tunnels…you get the picture.
And then there was the way I felt inside.
What if I make the wrong decision?
What if this path is a waste of time?
Should I go to school at this age?
Should I go after this dream job?
I’m not even qualified.
and….they know I don’t belong here.
These were all very real thoughts that lived in my mind and body
Between the external messages and internal voices all I had was sheer will and hard work to help me move ahead.
And this is why after I became “successful” I decided to create a program that offered women an honest path to success.
Something that would guide them as they discovered who they truly are and give them skills they would have for life, while achieving their goals during the program, not some imaginary date down the road!
A big promise.
A promise delivered.
How it works
-
Monthly meeting
Monthly meeting - Once a month we meet live on Zoom and Mina will teach a specific skill that you will be able to use immediately in your life. The workshop is interactive with Mina teaching, and a workbook for you to answer questions while you are in the workshop.
-
Action Items
At the end of the meeting there will be an action item that Mina will assign and you get to choose how you want to accomplish it that month. The action items are designed so that you are able to accomplish them and also live the rest of your life. We have moms with 3 children and careers that are still able to accomplish the action items as well as entrepreneurs who are building businesses.
-
Weekly Q&A Call
If you are working on your action items you are going to have questions! Every week we have a Q&A call where you can ask Mina whatever you would like. She will coach you through the question. The calls are recorded so you can listen to them if you are not able to make it live.
-
Accountability
Every month at the meeting you will have the chance to share what happened with your action item. This is an opportunity to either celebrate or learn what you’ll do differently next. Success is not linear and as you go through the program you’ll start to notice the action items adding up and creating success in areas you didn’t even expect!
-
Community
There’s something amazing about having a group of women together who all want to create something wonderful in their lives. As Mina often says, one of your biggest s aha’s will most likely come, not from her, but one of the other women in the group.”

“I wanted to take my business to another level, however, I also ended up being a better mom. Being in the meeting was like peeling an onion. I’ve learned to be compassionate with myself. I’ve learned to embrace and enjoy change. I'm a better listener now.
And now I have a beautiful relationship with my daughter, who by the way, also attended the meetings.”
It has been my life before and after the mina meetings."

“Upon experiencing the first “I am awesome!” I thought, “Okay this is incredibly cheesy and possibly... too cheesy for me.” What I didn't expect was that saying “I am awesome” with a group of women would be just so impactful and how doing so would make my day- actually, make my whole month.
I get to share my world, and get to listen to the world of so many amazing awesome women and that I get to be part of a group, no - part of a family that is led by such an incredible person and possibly the kindest person I've ever known.”

As someone who has always been a hard worker, working sometimes 60-80 hours a week, taking time off and practicing self-care was something that did not come naturally for me.
Through my action items in mina meetings I was able to prioritize self-care and started doing a monthly spa day for myself.
What is also amazing is that, although I was taking care of myself, it wasn’t affecting my work negatively. In fact, using my action items to focus on my performance at work changed how I showed up at work so much that my boss came to me and gave me a $10,000 raise!"

FAQs

#1 Your mental health matters. Accomplishing life changing goals is a process. One that requires you to make changes, bring new things into your life and let go of old things.
No matter how sick you are of an old behavior, if you force yourself to “let it go” or replace it overnight with a new behavior chances are it’s going to rear its ugly head somewhere down the road Or you may end up with a side effect which then has to be addressed.
At mina meetings we approach change in a way that sticks and with a foundation strong enough that you don’t have to use willpower to keep it going.
#2 More often than not 1 change you want to make may need to be approached from 3 different angles. There may be an emotional reason you don’t have the finances you want. You might have competing desires and need to find a way to prioritize them so you feel comfortable spending time on what you truly desire. You may have to accomplish b and c before you give yourself permission to do a. Success is not linear. Over the course of a year you have the chance to address your goals in a way that builds you up and ensures they stick!
-
Have you ever told yourself you can get something done in a weekend but 8 months later it still hasn’t happened?
One of the biggest reasons that I see that people don’t accomplish their goals is that they don’t give themselves the appropriate time and space to accomplish the goal WHILE also living the rest of their life.
If we have never done something we probably don’t have an accurate account of what it will take to get the job done. In meeting once a month we prepare you to approach your goal and then you have the month to accomplish it in the way that suits your style.

Mina meetings are designed to mimic real life. Part of success in life is showing up enough to move the needle forward. It is recommended you attend every single meeting to maximize your success in the program. With that said emergencies come up so you are allowed to miss 2 meetings and still graduate. If you miss 3 or more you are allowed to continue participating however you will not graduate.
-
Part of the magic of mina meetings is that it is Live! There is no recording as the program is meant to be experienced in real time.
-
As a bonus their is a weekly Q&A call eerie week that we do not have the meeting expect when Mina is on vacation or attending any seminars or conferences. This is a chance for you to ask any questions you have and Mina will coach you are whatever you are asking about. Calls are recorded and posted the next morning at 6am in case you are not able to make it.

Until Mina was 27 years old, she was afraid of women!! Literally afraid of women…
Growing up in 8 families by the time she was 5 left her terrified of her caretakers and as a young woman she found herself not wanting to be near other women. Through the work she's done, that feeling is a distant memory, so she totally understands the “not feeling groups of women vibe”!
The response we get 2-3 months into mina meetings from all the women who were initially concerned has consistently been, “I never thought I could be so comfortable around a group of women.”
Each woman is respected for who she is and what her nature is. Bring the “you” that’s most yourself to the group and you will find your spot that will feel just right!
