Who It's For

The TBA Peer Mastermind was created as an alternative to traditional masterminds.

After years of participating in coaching-led containers, the intention behind this group was simple: to bring together women who are already doing meaningful, ambitious work and create a space where the value comes from shared experience rather than being coached or directed.

This is a peer-led container rooted in support, perspective, and collective intelligence.

PEER SUPPORT

This Mastermind isn't about one coach teaching her students; it's about connecting you with likeminded fellow founders in a way that's designed to support your business and personal growth. 

WHY IT EXISTS

At a certain stage in business, many women no longer want to be coached by another expert or follow someone else’s framework.

What they want instead is:

  • to be in community with other women doing big things
  • to share what’s working and what isn’t
  • to learn from real-time experience rather than theory
  • and to have a place where they feel supported without hierarchy

That's why the TBA Peer Mastermind exists.


“The conversations are so high value… thank you Emily for putting together this amazing group of industry leaders!"

Tara Zirker, Agency Owner

“I went on to have a $3.5m launch and am now clearer on where I want to go next. I’d highly recommend working with them.”

Lisa Johnson, Passive Income Expert

HOW IT WORKS

01

A VIRTUAL CIRCLE

A conversation-led space where members can ask questions, share what they’re navigating, and receive perspective and support from the group.

02

A monthly knowledge share

Each month, one member shares an area of expertise, insight, or something that’s currently working in their world. This takes the form of a short, informal presentation followed by open discussion and group hot seats, allowing members to ask questions and learn directly from one another.

03

Quarterly connection calls

Dedicated sessions focused on building relationships within the group. These calls are designed to help members connect more deeply, collaborate, and explore potential partnerships. Many meaningful professional relationships and collaborations have emerged from these conversations.

The group meets regularly and is designed to balance structure with openness. Each month includes:

Peek Inside

With the Mastermind, you get 24/7 access to our Circle group. The group is split up into topics...

  • Personal
  • Motherhood
  • Marketing
  • Offers/Products
  • Team/Operations
  • Wealth/investing
  • Sales
  • Introductions
  • What's Working
  • Health/Wellness
  • Relationships
  • Celebrations

This Mastermind isn't about one coach teaching her students; it's about connecting you with likeminded fellow founders in a way that's designed to support your business and personal growth. 

What Participation Feels Like

This is not a space driven by visibility, performance, or constant contribution.

There is no pressure to participate in a specific way or to be the most vocal person in the room. The value comes from being consistently connected to a group of women who understand the level of responsibility, ambition, and complexity you’re navigating.

Members often describe the experience as:

  • grounding
  • inspiring
  • supportive
  • and reassuring — a reminder that they are not navigating things alone

Who This Is For

This is a fit for women who:

  • are already doing meaningful work
  • value peer insight and shared experience
  • want community without hierarchy
  • are comfortable contributing to a group

It’s especially supportive for those who often hold space for others and want a place where they can be supported in return.

“I love the collective wisdom I tune into daily in the group over my morning matcha."

"Joining this mastermind has been a great support system for me and my business this year. I was navigating a lot of change and reflection - and being surrounded by a group of remarkable women has offered such valuable support and perspective. In an ever-changing business landscape, it is instrumental to stay closely connected to others navigating similar industry changes. This is a nurturing space where we can be authentic and vulnerable, sharing both what is working well in our businesses, and also our challenges. I love the collective wisdom I tune into daily in the Telegram group over my morning matcha.

I have been a part of peer masterminds before and found that normally they fizzle out without clear leadership. In this case Emily hosts the party with such grace and professionalism, leading the container as if it’s a high-level mastermind."
