If Success Is Supposed to Feel So Good, Why Do You Feel So Stuck?

You’ve Mastered the Art of Keeping It Together. Now It’s Time to Reconnect with the Real You.

This one-hour workshop is for high-achieving women ready to rewrite their story—and live Activated and Free.

You’ve done everything right.

You’ve kept it together, shown up, smiled through, and stayed “on” for everyone else.

From the outside, you look like you’re thriving.

But on the inside?

You’re questioning. Craving. Searching.

Not for more tasks or bigger titles— but for you.

Somewhere along the way, under the labels and relentless striving, you lost touch with the woman you were before
life got so loud.

Somewhere along the way, under the labels and relentless striving, you lost touch with the woman you were

before life got so loud.

And now she’s trying to come back.

Not in chaos—but in whispers.

In the quiet ache for more meaning.

In the guilt you feel for wanting something you can't quite name.

In the moments where you wonder, “Is this really it?”

The BOLD AF Workshop is your invitation to stop performing and start listening.
AF stands for Activated & Free—because that’s exactly what you’ll begin reclaiming.

This isn’t a pep talk. It’s a one-hour pause that changes everything.
To breathe. To get honest. To hear your own voice again.

You’ve done the work, you’ve kept it together—but here’s what might still be weighing on you…

You know there’s more to life, but unsure of how to claim it for yourself.

You know how to lead. You know how to deliver. You know how to make it all look easy. At work, you’re the one people rely on. At home, you’re the one who keeps everything running. No one would guess that deep down you feel completely disconnected from yourself.

You're tired of constantly replaying conversations in your head— Did I say too much? Did I disappoint someone? Did I let something slip?

You're the strong one, the responsible one, the “she’s got it all figured out” one—but lately, you’ve started to feel like you’re performing a version of yourself that people expect… but doesn’t feel real anymore.

You’ve mastered the performance. But underneath the smile, the calendar, the perfectly managed image… you’re asking a question you’re almost afraid to say out loud: Where did I go?

And maybe —just maybe — you’re ready to admit that what once felt like success… now feels like suffocation.

Just because your life looks good doesn’t mean it feels aligned.

What if you could finally hear your own voice again—

not the noise of expectations, not the pressure to keep performing,

but the part of you that’s been quietly asking for more?

What if you could...

Wake up without the weight of overthinking and trust yourself again—deeply, intuitively.

Picture a version of your life where you have real connection. Not just being liked, but being seen. All of you. Without the mask. Without the role-playing.

Let go of the pressure to always managing your image—the one with the answers, the smile, the schedule—without feeling like you’re falling apart

Redefine success based on your values, not someone else’s version of “enough”

I'm Ready

That version of you?

She’s not far away.

She’s just been buried under years of expectations and silence.

Inside the BOLD AF Workshop, you’ll work through Gretchen’s signature ACT Method—Awareness, Choice, Transformation.

It’s a simple but powerful process that brings you back to the truth of who you are.

It’s not about being different.

It’s about being true.

In just one hour, you’ll begin to uncover the hidden stories that have defined your life—

and finally step into the agency to rewrite them.

This Workshop Is For the
Woman Who…

Has followed the rules. Worn the labels. Done what was expected and mastered the art of holding it all together—but can’t remember the last time she felt deeply connected to herself.

She’s smart, capable, and wildly self-aware…but still finds herself numbing the ache with overdoing, over giving, overthinking

She’s been in survival mode for so long that she’s forgotten what it feels like to simply be.

She’s tired of the image management. Of showing up as the polished version of herself while quietly wondering where did I go?

This workshop is for the woman who is ready—

ready to stop shrinking.

Ready to stop apologizing for wanting more.

Ready to stop mistaking survival for strength.

And finally, ready to live in alignment with the truth of who she is…

not the image she’s worked so hard to maintain.

Meet Your Coach

GRETCHEN HYDO

Master Certified Coach. Secret-breaker. Guide for women who are done performing and ready to live true.

I’ve spent the last two decades helping women break free from the rules they’ve been living by—the ones that look like success on the outside, but feel like a slow erasure on the inside.

Before I created the Secret-Breaking™ System, I was the one carrying it all.

Smiling. Achieving. Over-functioning.

And underneath it? I was unraveling. One day, that unraveling turned into rage—the kind that scared me enough to realize something had to change.

What followed was a long, honest look at the lies I was living and the shame I was carrying. I didn’t need a new version of me—I needed the real me to come back.

And since then, I’ve helped hundreds of women do the same. Women who were outwardly thriving, but inwardly exhausted.

Women who wanted more—but didn’t know how to name it, claim it, or create it.

That’s what this workshop is about.

It’s not about fixing you.

It’s about finding you—under the pressure, the labels, and the roles.

And it’s about giving you the tools to start living from that place again.

POWER-HOUR

This isn’t a workshop filled with feel-good

ideas you’ll forget by dinner.

This is a powerful hour of clarity—

a space where the parts of you that have been

hiding finally get to come forward.

You’ll begin to shift them—in real time. Here’s what we’ll uncover together:

The secret narratives you’ve been repeating for years—
“I’m too much.” “I’m not enough.” “I should be grateful.”
You’ll start to hear them for what they are: stories you inherited—not facts.
The labels you’ve worn like armor—
Wife. Mom.
Achiever. Fixer.
The strong one. The one who always shows up.
They helped you belong. But now, they keep you in a role that no longer fits.
The rules you inherited that no longer serve you—
Don’t rock the boat. Don’t need too much. Don’t show them everything.
These kept you safe—but now, they’re keeping you stuck.
And your vision—the one you’ve buried under all of it.
We’ll begin uncovering what life could look like when you’re the one writing the rules.

You don’t need more time. You need more truth.

And once you see what’s been running the show—

you can finally rewrite it.
