The Next Chapter Summit
4 Days • 4 Pillars • 15+ Experts
A free 4-day live experience for high-achieving women ready to redefine success through their body, authority, self-trust and wealth.
Free • Live Online • October 5–8
The career.
The family.
The business.
The money.
The reputation for being the one who handles it.
From the outside, it looks like you have it handled.
But something has changed.
What worked before does not fit the woman you are now.
You can feel it in your body.
In the decisions you keep postponing.
In the parts of your life that look successful but no longer feel like yours.
You have outgrown the way you built it.
So what do you want now?
The Next Chapter is not one conversation.
It is the intersection of the parts of life that matter now: Body. Authority. Self-trust. Money.
Reserve My Free SeatFour days. Four conversations. One question.
What do you want your life to look like now?
Wellbeing &Body
Feel good in the body you are living in now.
Your body has carried the ambition, the work, the motherhood, the responsibility, the late nights, the reinventions. Now it deserves a different conversation. Day one is about understanding what your body needs for the life you actually want to live next.
- Energy, hormones, sleep, and vitality
- The physical cost of years of pushing through
- Strength, health, pleasure, and sustainable capacity
- Creating a body that supports the woman you are becoming
Authority &Visibility
Be seen, heard, and known for who you are now.
You have spent decades becoming capable. You know how to lead. To deliver. To get things done. But capability was never the destination. This is the chapter where your voice, presence, perspective, and standards take up more space.
- The difference between being respected and being recognized
- Visibility without performing for approval
- Your voice, expression, standards, and point of view
- Leading from authority instead of proving your worth
Self-Trust &Self-Awareness
Know yourself deeply enough to make decisions from your own knowing.
You have gathered a lot of information about yourself over the years. You know your personality. You have taken the assessments. Read the books. Learned the language. Now comes the more interesting part: knowing yourself well enough to recognize what is actually yours.
- Intuition, discernment, and self-trust
- Understanding the patterns that shape your decisions
- Tools for seeing yourself beyond the roles you have carried
- Knowing what is true for you without outsourcing the decision
Wealth &Legacy
You know how to make money. Now let’s talk about what you do with it.
Making money is one skill. Keeping it, growing it, leveraging it, and deciding what it makes possible is another. Day four moves beyond earning and into wealth—real estate, investing, asset growth, financial freedom, and legacy.
- Moving from earning income to building wealth
- Real estate and other ways to put capital to work
- Investing with greater knowledge and intention
- Creating freedom through assets, not just income
Your next chapter deserves more than another idea.

Heather Russell
Hi, I’m Heather.
I spent three decades in corporate leadership building, leading, delivering, and carrying more responsibility than most people could see.
I was very good at being the woman who could handle it. The work. The people. The decisions. The life. Living from the neck up.
And then I reached the point many high-achieving women reach: the life I had built no longer fit the woman I had become.
That is the work I do now. I mentor women who are ready to stop carrying what is no longer theirs, trust their own knowing, and make decisions that reflect who they are today.
My work brings together power, embodiment, identity, and the practical choices that shape a life you actually want to wake up to.
I created The Next Chapter because there is a moment when “I can keep doing this” stops being the question. The question becomes: what do I want my life to look and feel like from here?
This summit is for you if…
You are 45+. You have built something real. And you are no longer interested in making the next chapter a repeat of the last one.
You have achieved the things you once thought would make you feel complete. And you are ready to ask a more interesting question: what do I actually want now?
You are capable, experienced, and accustomed to being the woman who knows what to do. You are ready for a life that is not organized entirely around what everyone else needs from her.
You have learned a lot about yourself. Now you want deeper self-awareness that changes the way you choose, lead, relate, earn, spend, and live.
You want more from this chapter. More vitality. More authority. More visibility. More pleasure. More wealth. More freedom.
You are ready to make decisions from who she is now. What stays. What goes. What grows. What begins.
You need to stop building your future around a version of yourself that you have already outgrown.
Good to know
Who is The Next Chapter for?
The Next Chapter is for high-achieving women 45+ who have built a successful life and are ready to decide what comes next on their terms.
Do I need to attend live?
No. Join live if you can. Each session includes a brief Q&A, and being in the room live gives you the fullest experience.
How long are the sessions?
Each speaker session is approximately 20–25 minutes, followed by a brief Q&A. Four focused days. No marathon Zoom sessions.
What happens after I register?
You’ll receive your confirmation and immediate access to explore the daily schedule, meet the speakers, choose the conversations you most want to attend, and download your Summit Playbook. Then join us live October 5–8 from 12:00–3:00 p.m. ET | 6:00–9:00 p.m. CEST.
How long will I have access to the recordings?
Replays will be available Saturday and Sunday, until 11:59 p.m. CEST
Is this a business event or a personal-development event?
Both, because your life does not separate neatly into categories. We move through the body, authority and visibility, self-trust and self-awareness, and wealth so you can look at the whole picture of what comes next.
You have built the life. Now decide what’s next.
You do not need to know exactly what the next five years look like. You need a place to see what is changing, hear perspectives that expand your options, and start making decisions from the woman you are now.
Your next chapter is not waiting for you to become someone else.
