Are you feeling stuck as you start your purpose-led business or venture, or maybe you’ve had your vision for a few years but still haven’t taken action? Do you know you have so much more to share with the world and yet you feel frustrated with where you are right now? Have you lost self trust and self confidence as you loop in procrastination, overwhelm, doubt and/or distraction? 

There is nothing wrong with you. Fear and self doubt are A PART of the process as you uplevel and step into this next version of yourself. The method in this masterclass is about working WITH yourself, rather than AGAINST yourself. 

In this masterclass you will leave feeling empowered to take your next step into your purpose and calling. You will learn about your unique energy (an intro to Human Design - we’re all different!) and shift this pattern that’s keeping you stuck using an inside-out approach (no pushing or forcing).  We will end with a manifestation practice to shift your energy right now so you can feel good and have fun IN the journey (rather than waiting to feel good at some point in the future when you reach a certain outcome). 

Life is one big journey and you’re here to enjoy the process! Ironically, when we’re in a state of joy, things fall into place with so much more ease as well. If you’re intrigued, come test it out ;) 

To get the most out of this workshop, please come prepared with:

1. Your Human Design type (you need your birth date, time and place, and can access your type & chart here: https://www.myhumandesign.com/get-your-chart/) 

2. A paper and pen to write down your insights as I lead you through a coaching process

3. Your full presence & energy! Set aside this time in your calendar and show up in full presence with your video on, so you can get those most out this masterclass

You will leave this masterclass with an inspired next step into your purpose and an elevated energy to create from. I would love to hold space and guide you through my unique alchemy of Human Design, somatics & manifestation!

You've heard all the buzz about AI and even dipped your toes in, hoping it'd revolutionize your creative biz. And now you're sitting there thinking, "Okay, but how does this actually fit into what I do without turning my brain into spaghetti?"

You're not alone. It's one thing to play around with AI tools; it's another to truly integrate them into your creative flow in a way that feels natural, productive, and, dare I say, fun.

This live webinar is crafted for creators who are tired of the hype and ready for some real talk on making AI a seamless part of their creative toolkit.

Why This Webinar Is a Game-Changer:

• Cut Through the Noise: Get straight to the good stuff – how AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Midjourney can actually enhance your work, from streamlining tasks to sparking new ideas.

• See It to Believe It: Real-time demos showing AI in action, tailored to real-world creative projects. We won’t fancy features you'll never use, just practical magic you can apply right away.

• Hands-On Guidance: Stuck on how to blend AI with your projects? Bring your questions, and let's troubleshoot together. I’m here to help make AI work for you, not the other way around.

• Expand Your Creative Arsenal: Discover other AI gems that can elevate your work, like DALL·E for mind-bending visuals, Canva’s Magic Write for snappy text, and Descript for cutting-edge audio/video editing.

If you're ready to move past the AI overwhelm and find out how these tools can actually serve your creativity (and not just add to your digital clutter), this webinar is for you. Let's ditch the confusion, embrace the potential, and, most importantly, keep your creative spirit in the driver's seat.

Spaces are limited (because no one likes a crowded chat room). Reserve your spot now and let’s demystify AI together, making it your creative ally, not a source of anxiety.

TROLLEY-LA-LA-LA...LA-LA-LA-LA! PUBLIC October, November, & December Holiday Lights Public tour reservations for 2024 October and December go LIVE again on 8/1/2024 via the "Book Public Tour" tab.

Join us in June, July and August 2024 for:

Children's 20-minute Trolley ride is for the little one's that just want to ride on the Trolley. These fun rides are offered on Tuesdays in June, July, and August.

Historic Trolley Tour of Naperville blends the past with the present and has some GREAT stories! This one-hour tour is given by the "Trolley Chick" herself and she talks the entire time. There is a group quiz at the end, but no worries, Annette will help you! For locals and visitors alike, it's a "must do" in Naperville! These public tours are offered on most Tuesdays in June, July, and August. 

Corporate group? Church group? Ladies Auxiliary? Private bookings for our Historic Trolley Tour can be made by contacting Naperville Trolley. Ding! Ding!

What is a Public Trolley Tour? A Public Trolley Tour is where you can purchase one or up to 28 reservations on our Public Trolley Events! You meet at a specific location (and this is noted when you make your reservation as pick up locations are all different for all tours) and ride with others on the Naperville Trolley. If you are not comfortable riding with others, then please do not book a public tour. The Trolley is fully enclosed, and the windows open, so we can have some fresh air flowing. All Trolleys have heat and air-conditioning, and run in all weather. Holiday sweaters and/or matching family pajama's are encouraged!

Tell your friends/group/neighbors which tour you're signing up for, and they can sign up for that one too! State ID required at check-in.Please arrive at least ten minutes before scheduled start time as the tour WILL depart on time, and plan for heavy traffic when meeting the tour. There are no refunds or changing dates once you sign up. No coolers allowed on board, but you can bring a coffee mug with a lid. No food or candy or cookies allowed in the Trolley. All drinks must have a lid.  Book Public Tour!

Note: Should you choose to purchase every reservation on a Public Trolley Tour (28), the price is still "per person" as stated at time of purchase and you must meet at the Public Tour pick up location as stated at time of purchase.

Why does my infant need a reservation? In the transportation world, every heart beat counts as a passenger. From one day old to 99 years young = you are taking one spot on the Trolley Tour. Yes, we know you can "hold the baby" but that is not how this works in the transportation world. One = One, no matter what size or age. All need a reservation as all take up one spot of the registry.

Ding! Ding!  - Annette
