If you've been feeling the pull to stop shrinking and finally claim what you want, Empower Together is the room where you do it alongside first-gen and BIPOC folks claiming the same.
You've done what you were "supposed to do" in your career, and now you're quietly ready for what you actually want. you don't have to do it alone.

My very first coaching experience wasn't 1:1. It was a group program with a whole room of first-gens working through the same fears I had. Imposter syndrome, self-limiting beliefs, generational trauma, all the good stuff. That room is the reason I dared to dream bigger, and the reason I became a coach at all, because the people in it reflected back strengths I didn't know I had. I learned something there I've never forgotten: the work of becoming who you actually are is so much lighter when you're not doing it alone.
I created Empower Together because I know how heavy it is to carry expectations, workplace trauma, and cultural narratives that make us question our own power. And I know how much of that weight we carry in silence, thinking we're the only one. Empower Together is the space I wish I'd had where first-gen and BIPOC folks can exhale, stop performing, and finally claim the path they've been afraid to call their own.
My role is to walk alongside you, and to build the room around you, as you reset, reclaim, and rise into your next chapter, with clarity, confidence, and community at your back.
You might be feeling this if:
You're stuck, burnt out, or quietly disappearing in rooms you once dreamed of being in, and part of you is done shrinking to stay in them.
You know that you deserve more in your career and life, and the first step is to feel comfortable taking up space.
You have an idea of the career goal or business idea you want to pursue, you just need the tools, resources, and coaching to actually reach it.
Whatever your goal is, Empower Together will help you claim it in community.
We carry intergenerational narratives that are decades deep:
“You have to work ten times harder to be seen in the workplace as a first-gen.”
“Be grateful for what you have, even if it’s breaking you.”
“Don’t rock the boat — it’s not safe to draw attention to yourself.”
We feel the loneliness in leadership because there are few models of leadership in the workplace that look like us or share our history.
We navigate cultural and societal pressure to succeed for everyone and to be the proof that sacrifice was worth it.
That’s why a culturally aware + culturally empowering space is mandatory in moving through this group experience.
Empower Together was built so you can learn how to move towards your goals without fear of being misunderstood or dismissed.
In Empower Together, we work on redefining success as it relates to your goal so you're no longer comparing yourself to someone else’s checklist, title, or a number on a paycheck.
Your goals and success becomes yours: rooted in your values, your strengths, & your vision.
Inside Empower Together, you’ll step into a guided
11-week journey that blends coaching, teaching, and community support.
Here's HOW joining Empower Together will give you the tools and community support to help claim your goals:
→ Before we begin, you'll take a pre-assessment.
In that form, you'll share more about yourself, so from day one we know the goal you want to be held accountable for.
→ In the first two weeks, we build the room first.
We don't dive into coaching yet. We'll take the time to get to know each other personally and understand what coaching really is, so safety becomes the ground everything else grows from.
→ Each week after, you will learn from pre-recorded curriculum that will guide you towards your goals. Prior to every session, you will have modules with homework before going into the live session.
→ During live sessions, you will have space to receive coaching.
Live sessions will start with 20 minutes reflecting on the curriculum, then 80 minutes to receive coaching. You practice bringing what you're navigating out loud, receive support from me live, and learn from other members’ journeys.
→ Between sessions, you're never on your own.
You will have access to our WhatsApp community and an accountability buddy to keep you held all week. If you didn't have a chance to ask for coaching in the live session, you can bring up your question in our WhatsApp.
→ In week 11, we bring it all together.
This final session will integrate everything and celebrate how you've grown, so you leave not just with tools, but as someone who knows she can walk the path they chose.

THE curriculum that guides us
The curriculum we explore in Empower Together is built to move you from circling your goal to claiming it.
Mindset & Nervous System Safety is the foundation. Clients start by building community, uncovering the beliefs and patterns that have kept them stuck, and learn grounding practices so they can approach change without overwhelm.
Movement Towards Goals keeps the work tangible. Clients get frameworks, reframes, and accountability tools to navigate real-world situations and stay disciplined toward their goals.
Identity Shift & Embodiment ensures the change lasts. Through embodied practices and leadership declarations, clients step into the new version of themselves, anchoring the shifts they’ve made into how they move, speak, and lead.
Click through the three phases below to see exactly what you'll learn, and how each one carries you closer.
-
WEEK 1 & 2 — Building Community + The Self-Coaching Model
The first two weeks is dedicated to getting to build community with your cohort members and to learning the self-coaching framework for how our thoughts create feelings, actions, and results. It sets the tone that we can coach ourselves and shift our self-limiting beliefs.
WEEK 3 — Inner Critic vs. Inner Mentor
Most first-gens have an overdeveloped inner critic and have forgotten how to access their inner mentor. Teaching us to reframe our critic’s voice into a supportive mentor voice lays the foundation for self-trust and empowered decision-making.
WEEK 4 — Nervous System Basics (Polyvagal Theory)
Many first-gens are unknowingly operating from fight/flight/freeze in their careers and relationships. Understanding our nervous system state and how to ground ourselves gives us more capacity to take action and make changes.
WEEK 5 — Money Trauma
Money stories quietly dictate career decisions and self-worth. Naming our “money trauma script” is the first step to healing it. Then we can start shifting into an abundance mindset around liberation, not comparison or arbitrary numbers.
-
WEEK 6 — Accountability & Planning
Wanting something and actually moving toward it are two different things, especially when old patterns pull us back into freeze or overwhelm. We turn your goals into a real plan, with an accountability structure and a planning process that keeps you moving without burning out.
WEEK 7 — Balance of Boundaries & Discipline
Discipline without boundaries leads to burnout. Boundaries without discipline leads to drift. We'll build boundaries that protect your energy and an anchor you can return to whenever you feel yourself spinning out or slipping back into old habits.
WEEK 8 — Empowerment & Self-Trust
We will build concrete tools to remember who we are when doubt creeps in. We will learn to be anchored in our identity and self-trust so we can keep stepping into our power.
-
WEEK 9 — Somatic Discernment & Risk-Taking
Decision-making is often clouded by fear or overthinking. We will learn to listen to our body’s cues to help us trust ourselves and take aligned risks.
WEEK 10 — Navigating Imposter Syndrome & Leadership Integration
By this point, we have learned how to build self-trust and overcome old patterns. Now, we step into defining what kind of leader we want to be in our work, community, and life. We map out how we embody leadership and weave together every tool from the program
WEEK 11 — Celebration & Closing
Celebration seals transformation. This final week honors our growth, solidifies community bonds, and gives us a moment to be witnessed stepping into their new identity

"I am so proud to be part of the first ever cohort for Empower Together! I appreciated the accountability and support system that Ari set up for us, as well. This group held a container and a mirror for one another in our courageous vulnerability to share stories ranging from frustration to uncertainty along with resilience, joy, and trusting we are making a positive impact in our lives and in our communities. I have so much respect and love for this TEAM and it’e only natural that we stay connected. I am so forever grateful to Ari for cultivating this safe and powerful space for us to dream and embody what thriving looks and feels like."

“From day one, this felt like a supportive environment, and that's something we co-created together. I struggle sometimes with taking up space, with speaking up when I have something to say, or letting myself speak for as long as I need to. Being able to be vulnerable, share, and take up this space is one of the most obvious ways I've grown, and I'm really proud of that.
My biggest takeaway is learning to listen to my body. For so long my mind and my body felt so disconnected. Practicing nervous system regulation, acknowledging how I feel and honoring it, is going to make such a difference for me moving forward. And I wouldn't have that if I hadn't been part of this. I also love the way Ari frames things and hands it back to you: you have the answer, and I'm going to help you find it within yourself.”

“If you are thinking about joining Arianna’s group coaching cohort, I think you should do it and put your 100% trust in Arianna. Empower Together Group Coaching was an unique and unforgettable experience because you are connected with individuals that are like-minded, have similar BIPOC backgrounds as you, and who all wanted to help one another, which all in all made it so easy to be vulnerable and authentic. Arianna and the members of the group coaching cohort provided impactful and instrumental perspective and support on my journey. Even after the completion of group coaching, it is also so fruitful and beautiful to connect and see the journeys of the cohort members now and how they have grown too. The group coaching was an amazing experience and I wish to be a part of a group coaching program again.”

“The best way I could encapsulate this program is that it feels like coming home. For a long time I just felt so lost. It felt like my light had really dimmed, like I'd lost my sense of self, and I'd been longing for community again. This gave me back what it feels like to be in a space where we really fully see each other and hold each other with care and vulnerability and love. It felt so beautiful and safe. I gained back the confidence and power I knew I had in me, and it felt so good to have people who reminded me of that.
I'll be honest, I hesitated to join because of money, and money-related things I'm still working through. But coaching was the best investment I made in 2025, and I'm so proud of myself for taking that leap of faith. I came in thinking I just wanted a group to keep me accountable in my job search. What I found was so much more than that. It was giving myself permission to really deeply heal.”

"The timing of working with Arianna was divine as it provided me with clarity on how to start advocating for myself, how I want to make an impact in my career, and realizing what no longer serves me. I had the opportunity to partake in the first Empower Together Group, which was a fruitful and incredible experience that I am eternally grateful to Arianna as well as the cohort members. The Empower Together Group coaching showcased how important community is and you are not alone in this journey to find and be your authentic self. Now, I am set up with a plethora of tools, knowledge, and community support for my path forward."

“Coming into this, I was longing for community but wasn't sure it would come to fruition, or what it would even look like. And it just feels so organic. I appreciate every one of these women for coming in every week with their vulnerability, their honesty, and their truth. It feels so nice to really feel in community and to not feel like I have to have my guard up.
I've been saying 2025 kicked my ass, and I wanted to start 2026 on a stronger foot. This group really helped me turn the tide. I'm walking into the new year with hope, with gratitude, and with a feeling of strength I didn't think was fair for me to have, knowing that what I'm holding individually is something I got to pull from this collective. I've experienced so much growth in just these ten weeks, and I've learned that growth isn't linear, and that's okay.”
