A Women's Leadership Journey · 8 Weeks · Beginning April 22, 2026
How to Stop
Surviving the
Fires of the World
You are brilliant at leading others.
You are exhausted leading yourself.
The world keeps accelerating. The crises keep compounding. And somewhere along the way, you started confusing your capacity to survive with actual leadership.
This is the course that names what no leadership program will say out loud — and gives you the ancient tools to do something about it.
- You wake up already tired, already behind, already managing someone else's emergency
- You have read all the books, done the work, and still feel one crisis away from unraveling
- You are barely holding everything together — your team, your family, your composure — while the world falls apart, and you're not sure how much longer you can
- You know something invisible is running you — you just can't name it yet
- You lead with strength in the room and fall apart in the car on the way home
- You are done performing resilience and ready to actually build it
- You sense that the world's fire and your own fire are somehow connected
- You are ready to stop surviving and start something else — you just need the map
"You are not burning out because you are weak.
You are burning out because no one ever taught you
that the fire starts inside."
Eight Weeks. Eight Thresholds.
Each week builds on the last. By week eight, you will not recognize the agreements that once ran your life — because they will have lost their power over you.
Phaedra Starr
Executive Coach · Toltec Apprentice · AuthorFor twenty-five years she was the steady hand in every storm — until the storm found her. What cracked her open became the work she now does with others.
Phaedra Starr has operated at the executive level in insurance and technology, trained in the Toltec lineage of don Miguel Ruiz, and done the kind of inner work that takes years and leaves marks. She lives in Topanga Canyon, California.
She will call you out. She will have your back. Sometimes in the same sentence.

Tell Me MoreWhat You're Wondering
Do I need to know anything about the Toltec path to join?
No. Everything you need will be taught as we go. What you need is curiosity and a willingness to look honestly at yourself. If you've read The Four Agreements, great. If not, even better — you'll receive it fresh.
What does "women leaders" mean — do I need a title?
No title required. You lead if you influence, build, guide, hold space, or carry responsibility for others. Founders, executives, operators, entrepreneurs, and women in transition are all welcome here.
What if I can't make a live session?
Every session will be recorded and available within 24 hours. The live circle is where the deepest transformation happens — but life intervenes, and you won't lose the thread.
Is this therapy?
It is not therapy and is not a substitute for it. It is deep, sometimes uncomfortable inner work held in a structured container with a trained guide. Many participants find it highly complementary to their existing therapeutic practice.
Why only 10 people?
Because transformation requires intimacy. Ten is the number where everyone gets witnessed, the group develops real trust, and the work goes deep enough to matter. This is not a webinar. It is a circle.
The world will keep burning.
You don't have to.
Ten seats. Eight weeks. One question worth finally answering.
