BE bold as f*ck & unleash your brilliance
bold[her] Summit 2026
DATE: February 6th & 7th | LOCATION: The Evergreen, 618 SE Alder St, Portland, OR 97214 | Grand Stark Hotel, 509 SE Grand Ave, Portland, OR 97214
Running a business can be lonely as hell.
We’re out here building, grinding, and carrying the whole damn vision often by ourselves, second-guessing decisions at 2 AM and wondering,
“Does anyone else get how heavy this is?”
Meanwhile, big corporations are whisking their teams off to annual strategy retreats.
But for founders like us? There’s no built-in team. No offsite. No CEO playbook dropped on our desk.
So the real question becomes:
”Where the f*ck do you go for your annual planning session when you are the team?”
This Is Your Annual Planning Session
The BOLD[HER] Summit is where women, femmes, and gentle[them] business owners come together to do what the big companies do, except we do it better.
We strategize.
We plan.
We set goals for the year ahead.
But here is the twist.
Your “team” for the day is a room full of founders and business owners who know exactly what it’s like to build something from nothing and hold all the weight.
There’s no jargon. No corporate bullshit. Just clarity, strategy, and community power.
Because the expertise you need?
It’s in the room. Including yours!
We Work, Not Watch
BOLD[HER] isn’t a conference. This isn't feel-good talks and panels you'll forget by Tuesday.
This is full-contact business building.
This summit is all interactive workshops where we roll up our sleeves and do the actual work together:
Map out your 2026 business strategy
Set bold-as-f*ck goals you cna actually execute
Tap into the collective experience sitting all around you in the room
The expertise you need isn't just on the stage…it's also sitting next to you.
The founder who already solved the problem you’re facing? They’re here.
The business owner who cracked the stem you’re stuck in? Also here.
This is a working summit. We don’t watch. We build…together.
Whether You're Starting, Scaling, or Going Big
Come ready to work on your business with people who:
Build real connections, not just swap business cards
Share actual strategies, not just hype
Show up ready to work the problem with you
Understand the highs, lows, and “holy sh*t, is this normal?” moments of entrepreneurship
This is the room where founders stop feeling alone, start feeling supported, and leave with a plan that actually reflects the business they want to build.

Session 1: Led by Kimfer Flanery-Rye
Before you can build anything bold, you need to get real about where you are right now. This grounding session cuts through the noise and invites you to tell the truth, the whole f*cking truth, about what’s working, what’s messy, and what you’ve been carrying alone. Through quick reflection, small-group conversations, and a collective wall exercise, you’ll see your experiences mirrored across the room. It’s the moment you exhale, drop the BS, and step into the summit with honesty, clarity, and the freedom to move forward.
-
Session 2: Led by Jyoti Jani
Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means something brilliant is ready to shift. This session helps you move past creative and mental roadblocks using play, curiosity, and emotion as tools for clarity. You’ll reconnect with what fuels you, reframe challenges, and uncover fresh ways to lead, create, and grow with intention.
-
Session 3: Led by Erica Ash
Money isn’t just numbers. it’s power, peace, and leadership. This session bridges the gap between confusion and confidence, helping you take control of your finances and your future. Think of it like inviting your financial BFF to co-pilot with you. Someone who helps you see what’s really happening under the hood so you can fly farther, faster, and with fewer financial f*bombs. You’ll walk away with three simple but powerful money moves that give you clean visibility into your numbers, a calm weekly rhythm to stay in control, and a clear financial North Star to guide every decision you make. when you know your numbers, you don’t just run a business , you run sh*t like a CFO.
-
Take a breather and refuel with your fellow badasses during lunch, while working the Ask & Give strategy to level up your game. Share, laugh, and throw your boldest ideas around, because this community makes sh*t happen.
-
Session 4: Led by Jen McFarland
It’s not about more traffic. It’s about the right people finding you and staying with you. This session digs into the path your customers take, where trust is built or broken, and what needs to shift so your journey aligns with your values. You’ll get clear on who you’re serving, where the friction lives, and how to turn browsers into believers through connection, not just bullsh*t tactics.
-
Session 5: Led by Karen Fassio
Impressions don’t equal impact, relationships do. This session flips traditional marketing on its head and shows you how to build real trust by centering community, not clicks. You’ll learn how to engage your audience authentically, create consistency in how your brand shows up, and stop wasting money on media that doesn’t build connection. Because lasting growth isn’t about algorithms, it’s about how you show up for your people.
-
Wrap the day with gratitude, celebrate the re-launch of F*Bomb Breakfast Club with champagne vibes, and a toast to your unstoppable year ahead. Celebrate yourself and your squad.
DAY 2: Saturday, February 7, 2026
Location: Hotel Grand Stark
-
Ease in, caffeinate, swap wins, and aha moments from Day 1.
-
Led by Jyoti Jani
Kick off Day 2 with movement, mindset, and energy with a creative exercise to shake off mental blocks and get everyone into flow before the tactical work begins.
-
Led by La’Kita Williams
You’ve set your goals (maybe?), now it’s time to level them up. This session helps you deepen the work you started and will refine and re-align you goals through an inclusive lens rooted in your values. You’ll get honest about what’s working, what’s holding you back, and how to move forward with clarity and courage. Because when your goals evolve with you, that’s where real f*cking impact begins.
-
-
Led by Katrina Hamilton
Big goals mean nothing without the systems to back them up. This session helps you move from stuck to steady by breaking ambitious ideas into real, doable actions. You’ll learn how to track progress without drowning in details, stay focused when things go sideways, and build routines that keep your momentum strong. Because goals don’t fail from lack of effort they fail from lack of systems.
-
Led by Erica Ash
Start strong with a live “show-your-books” moment. One founder gets real about their numbers while Erica walks through what’s working, what’s bleeding cash, and what can shift to spark growth.
-
Led by Kimfer Flanery-Rye with Jen McFarland * Karen Fassio + Jyoti Jani
Choose your breakout:
Team Jen: Customer journeys, messaging, and marketing momentum.
Team Karen: Community, brand trust, and connection that converts.
You’ll leave with a living business blueprint tied directly to your next growth move.
-
This is your built-in “don’t spin in circles” time. This dedicated block gives you open access to our facilitators for quick 1:1 conversations, laser focused targeted support, and real-time feedback. It’s also a dive into your plan, troubleshoot with peers to work through the real sh*t in your business on something that surfaced during the sessions.
