The Future of Leadership is Nourished
Join us for a transformative event exploring what’s possible when women lead from wholeness, not depletion.
Why The Nourished Leader?
Leadership wasn’t meant to cost us our well-being. But for too many women, it has.
We’ve been taught to overextend, overachieve, and override our needs in pursuit of success. We've mistaken exhaustion for grit, and accepted burnout as the price of excellence.
The hard truth? You can’t scale performance on depleted foundations.
The Nourished Leader™ offers a bold alternative to the unsustainable leadership norms women have been conditioned to accept. This summit is a call to lead from wholeness, not hustle. To reclaim capacity, clarity, and courage as strategic assets. To embody a version of leadership that sustains and nourishes you, even as you drive impact for others.
Through a soul-and-strategy-centered experience, this summit brings together high-achieving women across industries and across the nation to discover a new kind of regenerative leadership, one that replenishes rather than depletes.
The world doesn’t need more resilient leaders. It needs more nourished ones.
What You'll Experience

F.A.Q.
Can I use this summit for employer reimbursement or continuing education credit?
Absolutely. The Nourished Leader is a high-impact professional development experience for women across industries who are ready to challenge outdated and unsustainable leadership models. Many participants secure employer funding or apply this toward continuing education or professional development requirements.
The summit delivers a full day of advanced learning, strategic dialogue, and practical tools you can use immediately, making it directly relevant to leadership development, talent management, and organizational growth.
We can also provide a brief template to help you frame the professional development value for your employer.
What do you mean by “leader”?
You don’t need a title to belong here. The Nourished Leader is about how you live, lead, and show up — in your work, your relationships, and your own growth. Whether you’re leading a business, a team, a classroom, or navigating a major transition, this summit meets you where you are and equips you to lead from there.

In addition to exclusive access to world-class expertise and professional development resources from women at the forefront of leadership, your $175 ticket includes:
- Morning coffee & welcome refreshments
- A gourmet, internationally inspired lunch
- A Nourished Swag Bag with hand-selected items to support clarity and well-being

Is this only for women? Can men attend?
This summit is women-centered, but not women-only. Men are absolutely welcome. While our priority is to hold space for the unique perspectives and leadership journeys of women, we encourage participation from male allies who are listening, leading, and learning alongside women.
What accessibility will be available at the summit?
Accessibility has been considered at every level of this summit, from sound amplification to space layout. As someone who is hard of hearing, Natalie R. Legrand (co-founder of The Nourished Leader™) has intentionally designed this experience with access and inclusion in mind.
